Wow all that and all you heard was “Islam”

Now we can all sit back with our buttered popcorn and waitwaitwait for the curtain to go up on the re-creation of American manufacturing. Not.

Wait for Pruitt to turn back the clock for dirty fuel.

Wait for the meanies at the IRS to deny teachers their hard-won rebates for spending money to provide writing and course materials to kids too poor to supply their own in a public school system being run into the ground.

Wait for 13m more Americans to be deprived of affordable health care – or have to wait until the ‘free’ health trucks turn up at a local parking lot so kids can have cavities filled and blokes can get help for hernias.

Wait for the reversal of casual laws that directly lead to water pollution.

Wait for California to get help for people burned out of homes, work, businesses by the recent fires.

How did the Republican party become so amoral and corrupt?

I wonder if the Nanking Massacre might have been a minor trigger 1937-38(sarc). American missionaries and all that. Not to mention sacred trade.

We agree on your first sentence but,

“He is seeking to stop people Muslims from coming to US from countries that the US has given it’s citizens every good reason to want to harm America in any way they can at whatever cost to themselves.”

… I’ve fine tuned the second for you.

The reason he is specific in targeting Muslims is is not for any altruistic reason such as protecting the US (because it won’t), it is simply because he sees cheap political gain in for himself from his base. He is a demagogue through and through, a narcissistic demagogue.

Through a cynical eye I can see how both Yugoslavia and Korea were more about anti-Russian influence reasons than humanitarian, but their sacrifice in the European theatre in WWII is a tougher sell. The US lost around 300,000 soldiers in Europe but “only” 100,000 or so in the Pacific (Japanese) conflict.

There is no flip side.Russia defeated the Nazis, not the U.S.Japan was drawn into a war with the U.S. because the U.S.imposed sanctions on Japan for wanting to have a colony in China.At that time in history colonies were only for the Superior White Man, not uppity Orientals! Korea was just another case of regime change in which the true target was China,in which the U.S.exterminated one third of the Korean population , which is why the North Koreans still hate the U.S. And Yugoslavia was the main ally of a weakened Russia in 1980.To guarantee their hegemony the U.S. manufactured a split-up of the federation with false flag events, distortions of the truth, economic pressure ,false news etc in such a way that you now should be familiar with considering Libya and Syria!

Didn’t they find tangible evidence; about $100 000 worth of advertising from sites within Russia. Most of them after the election. An overwhelming influence for sure, but not tied to the Russian government.

I doubt very much that Trump knows or cares about Islam or Moslems. He is seeking to stop people from coming to US from countries that the US has given it’s citizens every good reason to want to harm America in any way they can at whatever cost to themselves.

The republicans and democrats generally make a few superficial changes but the military industial ,banker, corporate conglomerate continues on regardless raping and pillaging throughout the world. That is why Trump is so important. He represents a viewpoint that is capitalist to the core…

Interesting. There is a series on Al Jazeera called “The Coming War on China”, by John Pilger. One of the commentators – Eric Li (describerd as a “political scientist and entrepreneur”) explained the difference between a market-economy like China and a capitalist system which is the US. A fascinating insight, and well worth watching it just for that quote.
