Electoral college, everyone complains about it when their team doesn't get in. The really remarkable thing is that Trump explained these policies before the election, the American public responded by handing him the presidency, both houses and power to change the balance of the Supreme court and all with the knowledge he's a narcissistic moron.
 
It was an email sent to employees who look to him for guidance and leadership. This action directly affects the company. Get it now?

Well, I 'don't get it now'. Here's a guy who was 'in the closet' until he got the job he wanted. Then, like Clark Kent becomes Superman, he suddenly becomes a never-shutting-up activist on all wacko West Coast liberal 'causes'. I frankly don't give two sheets what he 'supports' or hates. I just wish he would focus on PRODUCT improvement and development. And for God's Sake stop showing up at political and elitist functions and dinners. Oh, and stop the endless trips to China.
 
so you answered your own question about why Sandy Hook wasn't considered terrorism

True since he was mentally ill and there was no motive. The Charleston church shooting was labeled as a hate crime, but could also be considered terrorism as well.

And Germany is still ducking any military role/involvement in the world order.

uhm is that so. I agree that we need to do more. But your statement is not based on facts.
There are thousands of German soldiers all over the globe in peacekeeping missions. We carry a pretty high part of the costs of nato and it's just getting ramped up more and more.
Nice, keep pouring oil in the war machine. You happy now? Remember there was a reason why nobody wanted Germans to ever become military strong again. Everything seems to be forgotten nowadays.

The last time Germany had a major 'military role/involvement' it nearly ended the modern World. I appreciate they eschew such possible 'repeats' of misguided and over-reaching adventures.

your profile picture says it all. You don't hate immigrants no. You JUST happen to support the people who do.
Mr. Wilders doesn't hate immigrants, neither does Trump. People just assume they do, because of their different view on immigration. The fact however is that they, or at least Mr. Wilders, has never said he hates immigrants. He does hate Islam (the religion itself), but not immigrants/muslims. Unless of course we're talking about immigrants who create havoc. Which unfortunately many do.

But no, I do not 'support the people who hate immigrants'. I support the people who take a stronger stance against those who pose a potential threat to our freedom by not adapting to our norms and values, and creating havoc everywhere. That's a lot different from what you're saying.
 
he never said they were out, he said the system for bringing them in needed changed.
Not sure whether I have been following your discussion correctly, but Trump has been very clear indeed on his stance against muslims entering the U.S. This quote is from December 8, 2015:

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what [the hell] is going on,"

People like Wilders and Trump aren't just racists. They're worse, they hate the liberal society itself that they claim to protect. They wanna watch our world burn, and just wait a few years, they will get there. It has already started.

They want to destroy the EU so that everyone can go back to their pre 1933 nationalist countries and start being angry and suspicious at each other again. Great plan, I still remember where it got us the last time.

Don't you realize that all these people talk about is the exact same BS that has been said back in the day? All this talk about the corrupted elites, the lying press, giving the country back to "the people"....
Trump doesn't refer to the people meaning the working class, as all his friends are just super rich millionaires- no, it's about white supremacy, some weird terminology of "the people" based on blood, like DAS VOLK was back in the day. It's all happening again and yet smart people like you try to twist it in a sick way, talking about protecting the society against muslims and so on...
It's the same old story all over again, just replace muslims with jews.
 
The number of people supporting Trump's idiotic actions here utterly astounds me. It speaks volumes about the level of information and education that so many people have (or rather—don't have).

This country is in real trouble.
Indeed. What happened to simple, honest direct language.

I couldn't agree more. +1
I wish Steve Jobs was still alive to stand up.

" I love the poorly educated."

that's what he said. But what he meant, and more so what the ideologic people behind him like BANNON mean, is, that muslims are the new jews. Just wait until they have to start wearing yellow stars!
