In other news:
The house is terminating the EPA
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/861/text

I want to see the text on this.

I think this is just a token attempt that will die during committee consideration. Even most republicans don't want the EPA outright abolished. (I think/hope.) Worth keeping an eye on though.

Edit:
I'm sure we won't know what's in it until Trump signs it.

Congress publishes bills to the public shortly after being introduced. Luckily Trump doesn't have much power over how Congress operates.

I'm willing to make an exception to that inaccurate, broadly misinformed stereotype for Dave. Only the worst kind of repression and self-loathing could lead to the kind of frothing at the mouth we see him exhibiting.

By the way, aren't you not even American, Dave? That just makes your indignation even that more hilarious.

AAAAaahahahahah..

I'm sorry if my anger at the death of children is odd.  I guess only conservatives can be frothing at the mouth angry about the death of ... oh wait, they don't give a shit about kids, just zygotes.

Secondly, Lurk Moar.  I'm married AND American.  I just live in Norway.  Which means I can actually see the US for the scum sucking shit hole it really is. I mean, once you see how other places of the world live, you realize that what's going on in America isn't necessary.  You can have environmental control, healthcare for all, and good schools mixed with a christian nation that doesn't give a shit about how christian it's people are.

Sadly, you're stuck in America.  And you will suffer.

I think it's called sarcasm, lol

What's most baffling is either you're not a republican, or you don't care about kids dying apparently. Ironic no one was up in arms while the compassionate Nobel peace prize winning President on "your" side of the fence droned innocent women and children for the past 8 years. The moral high ground is a slippery slope.

You seriously think that Obama's use of drones wasn't controversial?

http://www.salon.com/topic/drones/
http://www.slate.com/topics/d/drones.html
https://www.theguardian.com/world/drones
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/drone-strikes/

If anything, I'd argue that drones have gotten too much criticism in recent years. Not that there aren't ethical issues with their use, but I swear that a lot of the people complaining about them don't even realize how they work, and just assume that they're autonomous murderbots that we send out to slaughter freely.

Actually it does. It's the reason why we shouldn't accept them here.
Again, you seem to fail to grasp the very basics of refugee programs.  Large masses of people were arriving on boats and having to be sorted through and put into camps.  Some, if they had false IDs, would still need to be vetted and their Identities confirmed.  Especially if they go to the US, which has a very extreme vetting process.  And as you've noticed, large masses of people are not showing up on boats to the US shores.  So again, you're trying to point to a problem that doesn't really exist for the US.

Which again, we're preventing a problem before it grows.
That's pretty damn racist, if that's the reasoning.  You're saying "let's prevent this (potential)problem before it becomes an issue by blocking everyone" yet America has far, far, far worse problems and it's terrorists are, more often than not, home grown yet they don't want to fix that.

How is it racist when (1) countries aren't a race and (2) the people have shown to be trouble elsewhere like Europe?

However most them agree with parts that deny equal rights to women.
So do some Americans.  What's your point?

They do it at a greater extent and more frequently than Americans.

Then why places like Norway and Germany had a dramatic increase in rape since the exceptence of these "refugees"?
Yeah...
I live in Norway.  You're wrong by alot.
http://norwaytoday.info/news/marked-increase-rape-reviews/
http://norwaytoday.info/news/increase-number-rape-reviews/

First off, rate of reporting has increased.  Secondly, here in Norway, online abuse counts.  Third, assault rapes (like I assume you're referring too) are still very low.

Next time, pick a country I don't live in, yeah?

While Norway isn't experiencing the rape epidemic (yet) other countries like Sweden, France, and Germany (which you ignored) are having not only a rape epidemic but a terrorism epidemic.

1) Because you aren't talking about countries, you're talking about the people in the countries.  Countries aren't going into refugee programs, people are.
2) People ARE trouble.  Period.  By saying "Those people" are trouble while somehow ignoring everyone else, you're assigning a group of people (by nationality/religious affiliation) as "bad" without proving that the "bad" people in their group is all of them or even most of them or even a higher than average "bad" people amount.

Well duh.  They grew up in a country where that's the norm.  Look at 1950s America and you'll find the same damn thing.  Or hey, Americans are more gun loving than other countries.  We have more mass shootings than other countries.  Doesn't that, by your very logic, mean Americans are dangerous and will start mass shootings in any country they move to?

Quote

Yet?  When should we start?  Cause we've got plenty of refugees.

Sweden has always had a very high rape number compared to other countries(since 1995), mostly due to how they report and mark such crimes.  For example, let's say I'm a woman and I go to the police and say I was raped by 5 people one time each.
That's 5 rapes.
Another says "I was raped 5 times by one person"
That's 5 rapes.
They also mark it as rape even if it gets changed later on to another crime.
Here ya go.  The "epidemic"
http://www.bra.se/bra/bra-in-english/home/crime-and-statistics.html
It spiked 0.5% in 2013 then went back down 0.3% in 2014.
http://www.bra.se/download/18.358de3051533ffea5ea7f2cf/1459417671952/Reported_offences_1950_2015.xls
2015 showed rape is down from the last two years.
I am unable to find 2016 but it's probably too early for that.

France - Up 15% in 2015
http://i.f1g.fr/media/figaro/orig/2016/01/18/INFc4cf451a-bdf8-11e5-8da0-9d78361a1065-300x1506.jpg

Germany - 2013-2014 Rape is down.
https://www.bka.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/EN/Publications/PoliceCrimeStatistics/2014/pks2014_englisch.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1
https://www.bka.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/EN/Publications/PoliceCrimeStatistics/2015/pks2015_englisch.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=3
Down again in 2015


So far, you've got France up by alot.  But without any further data on what that increase actually means I can't say anything. 

And all these STILL fall flat compared to the US.
France has a lower rape rate than the United States.

However....

Quote
NEW YORK CITY, NY, USA
October, 2014
TARGET: Two police officers wounded in knife attack
ATTACKER: US person
Shit like that is pure padding.  Making the list seem bigger than it is.  I'd hardly call a knife attack against two cops by a US person to suddenly be a terrorist attack. 

Some are in the Middle East and aren't going to be reported much on American news.  Is he assuming that if no news outlet in America reported it, then the media is lying?

I am amazed at how brazen they are with their lies. Most politicians would make a vague/unsupported claim, and then hope people forget about it or don't care enough to fact check them.

This administration seems to double down on their lies over and over again and goes out of their way to make it easy to discredit them. That list is full of attacks that most definitely got heavily reported. How on earth are there still people supporting Trump? How on earth does he not have a 100% disapproval rating? Baffling.

(Yes, I do understand the irony of asking that question on this particular website.)

I'm watching a program on NRK and they're interviewing a few journalists from America and the current guest is saying that people believe whatever they want to believe and Trump gave them what they already believed.  He told them what they wanted to hear so it doesn't matter what he said, what lies he spews, they'll follow him.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

I am amazed at how brazen they are with their lies. Most politicians would make a vague/unsupported claim, and then hope people forget about it or don't care enough to fact check them.

This administration seems to double down on their lies over and over again and goes out of their way to make it easy to discredit them.

Yeah, it was kind of a rhetorical question. I know quite a few people that still support Trump in spite of everything he has said. Many of them can provide very rational sounding arguments as to why they support him, although their arguments are fueled by a Fox News + conservative talk radio echo chamber of biased opinions. But when Trump's blatant lies get brought up, they go into full blinder/denial mode. Or alternatively, "but the dems did it first and 10x worse in every way!". Or "it doesn't matter what he says, only what he does!". It's disheartening because these are people that I normally respect.

Edit: To be clear, I agree with those journalists' take. Facts don't matter. He is saying what they want to hear.

There is no lie here, and you know it. This is a list that the Trump administration FEELS didn't get enough coverage.

And even if they were covered, now every news agency has to cover it again, and to be honest, when you see it in Chronological list view, it doesn't state a very good case for Islam being the religion of peace. Obviously that was the point of making the list and even the claim that the attacks weren't covered, to draw attention to this black and white, plain as day, chronological list of terrorists attacks.

I've even heard people say that KellyAnne Conway purposely called it the Bowling Green Massacre to draw people's attention to an attempted attack by VETTED refugees that most people never heard of or knew a lot about.

Do you not see how these people are beating the press at their own game? Trump literally rode free publicity to the White House, and the media is just doubling down on their failed methods, it's hilarious.

i.e. a pointless list that attempts to back up the baseless claim that the news media are not covering terrorist attacks. What he feels is largely irrelevant.

And even if they were covered, now every news agency has to cover it again, and to be honest, when you see it in Chronological list view, it doesn't state a very good case for Islam being the religion of peace.

Not all of the attacks are committed by Islamists, not all of them are even terror attacks, and even fewer came from the countries Trump banned.

Obviously that was the point of making the list and even the claim that the attacks weren't covered, to draw attention to this black and white, plain as day, chronological list of terrorists attacks.

The point may have been to draw attention to a list of terror attacks, but it was still a lie that the media doesn't cover them. All the major attacks on this list got covered in some way. How Trump feels about the coverage, again, is his own business. But I'm pretty sure it's a lie to say that the Orlando attack, for instance, was "covered up".

His negative approval ratings would seem to indicate his 4D triwizard tournament chess bonanza isn't working that well.
