Isis is a global enemy dmt. A threat to humanity that should be eliminate

Are you afraid of your own shadow? Good Grief. If you want to make it your personal agenda to run around the world saving "humanity" with your own funds and resources, be my guest.

But ask yourself; When was the last time ISIS took something from you?

I bet you can't name one thing, yet here you are all lathered up looking for .gov to jump in the fray.

We downplay [Trump's tweets and actions] at our risk.

How so?

As was said, the offhand remarks are in no way offhand.

When 51% of GOP voters think Obama is a foreigner (largely because of Trump's birtherism support), when even more think there was massive non-citizen voter fraud skewing the democrat vote count, even his "small" remarks carry incredible weight.

My mom says we have to wait to see what he does, after he becomes president.

While there is a lot of wisdom in that approach, there is also wisdom in looking at what he's setting up, and trying to figure out how to save a shred of our democracy.



EDIT:

That other article is old, this one is recent:

Persistent: 52% of Republicans still think President Obama was born in Kenya

So Escopa, you think what is happening in NC is the democratic process in action?

I have news, this is the way of the future. Total control of the courts that make the laws, and look what you get:

What is President Obamas deal lately? Is he overly concerned with his legacy? The war mongering is out of control. He clearly wants a war with Russia. I personal think that is a terrible idea. Stop the damage and walk away.

yeah, I guess his actions in threatening Russia with a new nuclear arms race, in which we'd outspend them all is really dangerous. Oooops, wrong President!

Ok TGT, show everyone here just how uninformed and partisan you really are

tell us exactly how the US Sec of State John Kerry has been "betraying America and its allies"

quick review: John Kerry served America honorably throughout his Vietnam tour
and came back home with shrapnel in his body and a Purple Heart

vs

the childish moron you voted for, little Donald, asked for and got five deferments

which one is the true "American Patriot", Honey Boo Boo?

John Kerry served as US Senator before serving as Sec of State

while your boy was doing what, TGT? declaring bankruptcy four times while cheating
on his first wife and buying gold plated bathroom fixtures

time to man up, TGT, grow up, you should be thanking and kissing John Kerry's ass

Norton- you didn't mention Kerry was a decorated Navy SEAL.

He got swift boated by guys that didn't serve with him during the well documented firefights he was in.

BTW- Didn't McNamara have strong criticism for the war as well, however did not have the courage to voice those concerns at the time and later voiced great regret over this?

Yes, he did...

He also forgot to mention that he invented the Internet. Oh. Wait, that was another democrat.

Attacking Kerry over his service is stooping pretty low. Trump's Vietnam was surviving venereal diseases (his own words), a real patriot.

There are a few of us who did that. Means nothing. Wrong place, right time.

Why rail against Trumps Tweets?

 Because he spreads outright false information, and people believe it as fact.
 Because decent people are being harassed and threatened because some of his fans feel emboldened by his assurances to deport aliens, and his insinuations that all Muslims are somehow complicit in terrorism.
 When, exactly, would it be appropriate to refuse to silently accept the bullshit he is spewing?

BTW, he's branched out now, and is pushing his Instagram profile.

Trump wants to "move on" from the Russians interfering in US elections.

Man, he just can't wait for the reach-around Putin promised him.
