Screening for terrorists – interviews
Yzermandius19 replied to Marocc's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Israel has plenty of terrorist attacks against it, and plenty of immigration issues, the interviews are not as impactful as you think they are. I never said we must invite everyone into the country with open arms, I said throwing tons of resources into interviews or values tests will not dramatically reduce immigration problems the way you seem to think they will. You have too much faith in government to address these issues, to the point where you think the only reason there is a problem is simply because there is no will to fix it, instead of government not being that good at addressing the issue in the first place. Nowhere in the world is government as good at fixing these issues with interviews or values test as you claim would be the case if the government simply cared enough, it is naive wishful thinking on your part that things will go so swimmingly if the will of the government, proper funding and training were at ideal levels for interviews or values tests. -

It could be that he doesn't want to give the Democrats more ammunition to attack him with. That doesn't mean the ammunition means he's guilty or did anything wrong, it could just give them something they can spin to trick the rubes, and Trump doesn't want to give them any wins they don't need to have. Not wanting to give the Democrats everything they want can be something you want to do with whether you are guilty or innocent, there is no reason to believe that behaving that way looks guilty. Why don't you give the government all your personal information, if you have nothing to hide? That is the dumbest argument ever, no person should be held to that standard, people have every right to protect their privacy if it's their prerogative to do so, doing that is not a sign of guilt, it's not suspicious, it's just not being a naive fool. -

The Democrats know they can't beat him at the polls, that's why they are focused on the end around of trying to remove him from office. -

Just because Zeitgeist thinks it's sketchy doesn't mean America or the Senate agrees with him, who knew? -

No one cares about Ukraine dude. He is nowhere near a tipping point, least of all because of Ukraine. Many presidents have done far sketchier things and no one tried to impeach them over it, the Democrats are deranged and desperate. -

You don't have to like Trump to realize the Democrats got nothing on him. The only way to think the Dems are about to remove Trump from office is to hate Trump so much you can't see straight. -

You may not be sure, but I am. When "Bolton looming" ends up being a nothing burger, you will just move the goalposts and not be so sure that something else won't flip public opinion against Trump, you will never stop believing, no matter how much reality proves your doubts wrong. -

He is not in trouble, he doesn't have many enemies in the Senate, he has stronger support within the Republican party than most Republican presidents ever did, the few that he has aren't going to flip 20 Senators. You need to stop listening to media pretending the anti-Trump faction is a big part of the Republican party, because they aren't, it's just wishful thinking on the media's part, the party is not divided on this, they are united in support of Trump and that isn't going to change because of Bolton. Trump is not in trouble at all. Chances are that Dems would be lucky to even flip Romney right now, let alone 19 more. -

That's your response every single time I point out that you're hope that Trump will be removed from office is never going to happen, no matter how many times you are proved wrong, you keep saying that, lets just wait to see what happens, anything can happen. Then it plays out exactly as I describe, you move the goalposts while never admitting you were wrong, and claim next time Trump is going down because of another "bombshell". You are Dr. Claw of the forum, Trump is your Inspector Gadget. "Next time Trump, next time" and then you never catch him. -

I'm not searching through you're posts, anyone paying attention around here remembers you jumping the shark constantly every time the media says they have another bombshell that is the end of Trump. You fall for it every time. -

Yes you did. You think none of us can remember you gushing about Sondland testifying being the end of Trump? Or many other of the figures who you assumed could be a gamechanger, please. You have cried wolf at every turn and keep getting burned. -

Public opinion isn't going to flip, you just wish that they would. -

You said that about the testimony of many an individual, and every time you were wrong, just as you are wrong now. -

He needs to swing 20 Republican Senators, not four, it's not happening. -

All foreign policy decisions are made for political reasons, that is not an impeachable offense. -

How many more times are you going to put your hand on the stove of "Trump is done now" assuming you aren't going to get burned? You never learn, the media jumps from one "bombshell" to the next, assuming it will be the end of Trump, and you believe them every single time, no matter how many times they are wrong about it. You keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, some would call that insanity. -

Trump will not be on the ropes whether he testifies or not. Wishful thinking is a helluva drug. -

If you think there is any chance of the Senate removing Trump from office because of Bolton, you will really grasp at any straw if you can delude yourself into thinking "Trump is done now". -

Yzermandius19 replied to godzilla's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Trump not revealing the information is his prerogative, if the Democrats don't like it, they can challenge it in court. You having unanswered questions doesn't make Trump guilty, nor is it good reason to impeach him, the fact that you are grasping at these straws just shows how weak your case against him is. -

You cannot prove a negative. No matter how much proof is presented the TDS will still claim Trump is guilty, this is why innocent until proven guilty is the standard, not guilty until proven innoncent. -

People can lie. It's not hard to figure out the answers you are looking for without giving away that they are a terrorist. You're test isn't going to have any measurable effect whatsoever. -

The Founding Fathers intended the executive branch to have control over the enforcement of foreign policy. Something that benefits the nation can also benefit the chances of re-election, if that is the case, then benefiting the nation is not a bad thing just because doing it helps the President get re-elected. You seem under the false impression that POTUS is not allowed to bolster his chances of getting re-elected with foreign policy decisions that benefit the nation, if he realizes it will help him get re-elected, but literally every single president has done that and no one tried to impeach them for it, until Trump. Basically the whole thing comes down to people viewing Trump as having interests that are diametrically opposed to the interests of America itself in all cases, and therefore they view any action he takes that benefits himself as hurting America, but there is no proof of that. The standard Trump should be held to is innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent, and not having proof of his innocence is not proof of his guilt, though you seem to think it is Rue. Speculation, rumors and hearsay as to Trump's motive is not evidence that Trump's motives are exactly as the speculation, rumors and hearsay claim they are, without actual hard evidence of his motive, you can't prove any crime worthy of impeachment was committed, since the crimes you are claiming he committed are only crimes if he had a specific motive. What some witness thinks he was thinking doesn't count as proof of his motive, it counts as proof of what that witness thinks his motive is, which may or may not be accurate, you're going to need more than that, to remove a POTUS from office via impeachment. -
He was punished very severely, torture isn't enough for you? You think that's getting off light because he was a kid?

Trump holding up funds a little longer than usual is no crime worthy of impeachment, many POTUS's have done the same and not been impeached for it, and no one tried to impeach them for it. The law that says it shouldn't be done has remedies for when the situation occurs, and impeachment is not listed as one of those remedies. The Democrats are grasping at straws because they have no way of beating Trump at the ballot box. -
Record unemployment among those groups, if Trump doesn't love them, he sure has a funny way of showing it.
