Trump’s campaign promise was for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”
Apparently he broke his promise by not banning non Arab countries.
Or maybe you can rationalize his actions as you usually do by saying that’s not what he really meant.
AYWS Good luck with that

i think the ban was stupid. but it was only applied to countries which the obama administration said had no ability to flag terrorists. it wasn’t a “muslim ban”, because the huge majority of the worlds muslims could still come here. the ban applied to 6-7 countries flagged by obama
as a security threat. flagged by obama.

Now you’re blaming it on Obama or are you saying that Trump lied when he said he would ban “all” Muslims from entering the USA or what?
Remember you might be excommunicated for those statements!

the fact is, obama flagged those countries as being high risk. trump acted in it. i’m not blaming obama, but the fact is he played a role. Trump didn’t come up with that list. Obama did. whether you like that fact or hate it, that’s what happened

If Pence believes that Roe V Wade was decided incorrectly ( a lot of people agree with him), why wouldn't he hope that it gets rectified? What would you expect his position on the issue to be?
Yeah, why fret over silly little things like the slaughter of 600,000 - 700,000 innocent babies per year. Wayne, that you could care less about that, doesn't mean it's a character flaw that others have empathy for the voiceless.
Anything, ANYTHING, to deflect attention away from a tiny little mis-step by Biden.
You want to talk about what's reckless? The idiot democrat senator from NH warned the supreme court that there'd be "revolution" if they overturned Roe. She said explicitly, "go ahead and overturn it if you want revolution."
A sitting US Senator, threatening the supreme court with violence.
This is after Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, threatened the Supreme Court, saying they will "reap the whirlwind" and "not know what hit them" if they keep upholding abortion restrictions.
The Supreme Court isn't supposed to decide cases based on what will appease the mob. They are supposed to decide what the constitution says.
But you don't care about that. What offends you, is a devout Christian rooting for an end to what he views as mass infanticide.

Wayne, some people can walk and chew gum at the same time. Just because you apparently can't process two things at once, doesn't mean no one else can.
Did Pence (or anyone?) say that noting else in the world matters at all, except the abortion case before SCOTUS? Or are you projecting that, because as always, it's easier for you to respond to a fabrication, than it is for you to respond to what he's actually saying?

Sure
McCarthy had a meeting with Greene and Mace and told them to stop. Greene walked out of the meeting, ignored McCarthy, and started telling a reporter that she supports a primary challenge against Mace.

Pete, you look at what happened in VA and NJ last month, and you look at all the polling…..and you conclude that the gop is in disarray and back on their heels?
atta boy, Columbo.
Some superfluous fringe congressmen are bickering. There’s no bickering or in-fighting on the left? Manchin and Sinema aren’t being attacked by any democrats?
what planet do you live on?

Come on, you now have your own "Squad of MENSA candidates"
And the leader of your party, a Stable Genius, knowingly went to his first debate infected with COVID. He was a danger to everyone he came in contact with, including debate staff, the Secret Service and the next President of the United States.

your problem, is that not everyone in the country assumes the republicans are only to be judged on their flaws.
if more people thought like you ( just had a chill up my spine), how do you explain what happened in VA and NJ last month? how do you explain the polling which looks so amazingly favorable for the gop as of right now?
you can’t respond to that with “orange man bad.”
that’s not what the country is thinking. that may well change, but as of now, poling clearly favors the gop. i’ve asked you to explain that 4 or 5 times now, you keep dodging.
so completely agree there are a handful of republican congressmen who are deranged radicals who is live to see go.
you’re tying to paint the entire gop with that brush. (1) yiu don’t do that with democrats, you don’t equate the whole party with Ihan Omar. and (2) clearly the country isn’t sharing your view that a small number of kooks represent the whole party.
there’s more to the democratic party than eric swallwell and ihan omar. similarly, there’s more to the gop than marjorie taylor greene.

Peter Navarro to Newsmax: Overdeploying Vaccine Creating 'Vaccine Resistant Mutations'
But but we saw Biden with out a mask for a minute LOL
Biden Considers 7-Day Quarantine for Returning Travelers Due to Omicron
These people will continue with their tyranny as long as we the people allow it.....screw their quarantine, screw their shots, masks, etc. They do not get to force us to do anything, period! Go to hell!
1st comment on NEWSMAX where all the MAGA supporters fled after Fox News refused to say Trump won the election
Outrage the GOP’s only policy

You guys crack me up making a big fuss about a mask, when Trump tested positive for covid three days before he debated Biden and lied about it to insure he could debate. Well known he was never wearing a mask after knowing he was positive, exposing everyone he came in contact with. So one guy fully vaccinated isn’t wearing a mask in a store with others that were probably fully vaccinated, when he might have asked if he needed a mask (none of you yahoo’s know) and Trump knowingly exposed people while infected with covid, tell me honestly which is worse by huge margins?

not only did i not make a big fuss, i said a few times that it wasn’t a big deal. what cracks me up, is the inability of 99% of the people on the left, to just be able to admit he slipped up and the optics are bad. 99% of liberals can’t muster the intellectual courage to just admit that. it’s fascinating to me, and never stops being entertaining. i am genuinely curious to know what you’re all afraid would happen, if you just admit it was a mistake.
But Trump!!
(that’s also hilarious. your instinctive reaction is to point to trump.)

No big fuss really, it’s been the subject of this thread for quite a while. Circumstances matter, you don’t know if questions were asked before Biden removed his mask and optics are pretty good considering he is wearing a mask when he should be what 99.9999999% of the time. Trumps optics were the opposite, he promoted the idea the masks aren’t needed and couldn’t care less if he infected those working with him.

the subject of the thread, morphed into the inability of you lefties to ever say anything critical if biden.
“you don’t know if questions were asked.
i do know, that Psaki isn’t saying he took off his mask to answer questions. i also know that he can answer questions with his mask on.
Anything to avoid criticizing him. What in gods name is in that Kool Aid.
since you’re making up excuses for him, why not do better, and say he removed his mask to perform CPR on someone?

pete, yiu judge democrats by focusing on the good and ignoring the bad.
yiu judge republicans by ignoring the good and focusing on the bad.
obviously when you compare the parties that way, the democrats will look better. but it’s not an accurate ( or even rational) way to compare things, and very few people buy into it.

“the squad” has a lot of influence within the democrat party. they’re the only reason why the infastructure bill wasn’t passed months ago. it passed the senate, the moderates in the house wanted it, the squad managed to hijack it and connect it to the 3.5 trillion social spending bill.
what has marjorie taylor greene done to alter the conservative agenda?
she’s a nook and a jerk.
