Terrorism: What's being done about it?!

Good Idea and bad. There was supposed to have already been some neutral space act that took precedence, which this legislation undermines..??

Fear? Yes. Fear that myself and/or my children can suddenly die from gun wielding nutjobs with religious delusions. Hatred? None. Just being realistic. I quit kissing everybody's feet when my my teeth consistently met $h!tty boots
 
I have ZERO fears of Daesh terrorism. Why should I fear them when I'm surrounded by white Americans carrying assault weapons threatening Planned Parenthood and other female health facilities. Yeah, those guys are ****ing scary. I carry a firearm to protect myself from those yahoos.
 
Donald Trump thinks he can call Bill Gates to "close up" the internet
We're losing a lot of people because of the internet. We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that internet up in some ways. Somebody will say, 'Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These are foolish people."

Good job that nobody cares about the 1st amendment anymore, or that would really annoy them

I think what he's alluding to, without actually saying so, is an act of war. Judicial rights are set aside when the guvment is fighting a declared enemy. I also think that his suggestion will drive his ratings even higher but ultimately force him to either change parties or create one of his own. Ultimately, I don't see this as helping him, but I look forward to being wrong again.

Rupert Murdoch on Trump's Immigration Stance: "Complete Refugee Pause" Makes Sense

Rupert Murdoch spoke out about Donald Trump's recent remarks calling for a "complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the United States.

"Has Trump gone too far?" tweeted Murdoch, without answering his own question. "Regardless, public is obsessed on radical Muslim dangers, Complete refugee pause to fix vetting makes sense."​
 
Along with Trump’s rhetoric, the stakes for 2016 have risen dramatically

Donald Trump continues to go where no recent candidate for president has gone before, plunging the Republican Party — and the nation — into another round in the tumultuous debate about immigration, national identity, terrorism and the limits of tolerance.

Trump’s call for a ban on Muslims entering the United States marked a sudden and sizable escalation — and in this case one that sent shockwaves around the world — in the inflammatory and sometimes demagogic rhetoric of the candidate who continues to lead virtually every national and state poll testing whom Republicans favor for their presidential nomination.​
 
It's frightening enough that Donald Trump is leading the GOP race to become the Republicans Presidential candidate. It is absolutely terrifying this moron could become leader of the free world.

He wants to ban 25% of the world's population even visiting the US, while building a huge wall along it's southern border. He also lies, blatantly lies. Here in the UK apparently, according to him our second city Birmingham is Muslim (?) and there are parts of London the police are afraid to go in because they are so radicalised. Utter and total garbage.

What has happened to the GOP? How can the Republicans even consider this man to be their candidate?
 
He is touching a nerve that no one else dares to mention. His commanding lead in the polls says more about the anxiety of of the conservative voting public than it says about his actual chances of winning. I still think some like Cruz will come along and paint a more logical, feasible picture. Either way, Trump is waking us up and that is a good thing.

[emoji6] Agreed
 
I like Kasich and Graham. Outside of that,not to interested in the others. No one worth looking at on the dem side. Joe Biden could have gotten my vote easy as he has always been a moderate leader in his party. But with him not going for it. Clinton nor Sanders are options I am willing to entertain.
 
As for the rise of Donald Trump. I think it can be explained in three points.

1. Republican voters feel 100% betrayed by the officials they have been electing and truly are angry as hell about it. They see these same lying scumbags every election cycle promising the same old things and never making it happen. Immigration reform,tax reform,welfare reform...on and on...never making it happen. In fact voters see these politicians do exactly the opposite after they have faith in them and giving them their votes which they see as sacred. Voters do not trust these people any more. The jig is up. They see Trump making these same scumbags cringe at every word he speaks and they love it.

2. Trump to the voters who like him see him as successful,blunt and truthful....yea truthful. Remember Trump out right saying yeah I donated to democrats. I'm a businessman...I played the game they created and was good at it? Do you think any of those others would get up there and admit that they "play the game"? Hell no. Because they are secretive and deceptive.

3. Trump has celebrity and that goes a long way in our media environment. Trump isn't stupid. He knows all he has to do is say something inflammatory and bam he blows all the other schmoes off the media pages for weeks. Making them irrelevant.

I honestly believe most republican voters are so damn angry at this point they would vote for Bill Clinton versus any of the liars and traitors they've fallen victim to in the past 20 or so years.
 
I know because I am one of them admittedly. It's hard to have faith in the very people who have been bullcrapping you the whole time.

True words, Same here. So what if he shows "Hard Love" as our parents called it.. Aka: Being real and throwing truths ppl don't want/like hearing, but we NEED IT! I started writing about someone Sen. Cruz reminds me of (body language) but realized I shouldn't be talking about Religious figures here, so I'll say... Very Shady guy.. Watch him..
Edit: these are strictly opinions based on past experiences
 
I'll say it. Cruz reminds me of Benny Hinn LOL. Limousine ridin,jet flyin son of gun WOOOOO!!! For real.. And he kinda looks like Eddie Munster.
 
Back to terrorism...

Putin raises possibility of using nuclear weapons against terrorists - but hopes they ‘will never need’ them
Leader says new cruise missiles can be equipped with nuclear warheads and conventional warheads

Vladimir Putin has said he hopes nuclear warheads will not be needed to deal with terrorists, after Russia launched cruise missiles from its submarine at Syria.

During a meeting in the Kremlin, Russia’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told the President that Kalibr cruise missiles had been fired by the submerged Rostov-on-Don submarine from the Mediterranean Sea for the first time.

He said TU-22 bombers also took part in the latest raids and that "significant damage" had been done to a munitions depot, a factory manufacturing mortar rounds and oil facilities. Two major targets in Raqqa, the defacto capital of Isis, had been hit, said Mr Shoigu.​

Boxing legend Muhammad Ali responds to Donald Trump's call to ban Muslims from entering US

Boxing legend Muhammad Ali on Wednesday criticized Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States, calling on Muslims "to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda."

Ali, one of the most famous Muslims in the world, issued a statement saying, "True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion."

---

Another Muslim sports icon, basketball Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, weighed in Wednesday with an essay on Time.com. He described Trump as the Islamic State group's "greatest triumph," a candidate who "preys on the fears of the public, doing ISIS's job for them."

Abdul-Jabbar wrote that Trump's claims "have elevated him to the level of a James Bond super-villain. And like those villains, he is doomed to failure."​
 
"Ali, one of the most famous Muslims in the world, issued a statement saying, "True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion."

The problem is that the mainstream, majority of Muslims in this country and around the world need to speak out much more to reaffirm and emphasize this to non-Muslims. Those voices, for the most part, have been too silent.
