But if he truly cared about stopping Radical Islamic Terrorism, shouldn’t he ban people from the country responsible for the largest attack on US soil since Pearl Harbor? Regardless of Obama’s position since he was “soft” on Radical Islamic Terrorism?

They were not on Obama’s list either. So…you tell me.
As someone who wants a moratorium on immigration I agree with you
You mean Trump is mindlessly copying “the worst President in modern American history”?
What’s next? He’s gonna copy the ACA word-for-word?

Strong deflection!
This is not about Obama. I’m not sure why (some) conservatives take literally any questioning of their position and respond with “BUT OBAMA!” because, as you have so dutifully reminded us all, Barack Obama is no longer the President. Donald Trump is. You don’t get to kick Obama for an executive order that Trump issued, although I’m sure you’ll spend the next four years blaming all of Trump’s failures on Obama.
So I would like to know, again, what your position is on President Trump’s executive order on travel from selected nations, and why he did not take the opportunity (since, as you reminded me, he can do whatever he wants! No need to share things with leaders of Congress or the attorney general or the National Security Council!) to add a few nations who actually have, to use your own phrase, “exported” terror.

Probably first time Raj and I ever agreed. I highly doubt zeb will respond lol.
Neil Gorsuch - thoughts?
Trump is too stupid and arrogant to listen to advisors or he’s copying a bad president’s ideas. Which is it?
LMAO!! Well now that is definitely the smartest thing that I have ever read from you.
Keep up the great posting.
Just the truth.
Such a sad cop out. I expected better from you.

Still haven’t answered the question.
What is your opinion on Trump’s non-inclusion of Saudi Arabia in his executive order?
As I told all of my friends here on T Nation Trump was going to pick a conservative. And…HE DID!
I honestly don’t know.
What is your opinion of Obama not putting Saudi Arabia on the list?

These are not mutually exclusive things.

After watching zeb shred everything Obama did for eight years, it’s kinda funny now that his fallback line to defend Trump’s most controversial action of his first two weeks is “But those were the same countries on Obama’s list!”
zeb: you gloated for weeks about the end of Obama’s presidency. It seems curious that, rather than answer a direct question about Trump’s signature executive order of his first two weeks in office, you would prefer to fall back on “But Obama!”

I predict this forum will have a lot more pro Trump posters in one year.

No sweat, man. She teaches at Kiski (public school, not the prep school) - she’s been there for maybe five years? I’m pretty sure she did her student teaching at North Allegheny, but they had no full-time openings at NA, so she took the first opening she got; from what I understand, there are some advantages to staying in one place once you start teaching public school, so unless something really goes sideways, I think that’s where she’ll stay.[/quote]
Thats something! A friend of mine did his first couple years as assistant principal at NA, right in about the same time frame. Kiski is definitely out there far enough to have all of the problems you described. What some of the less populated districts lack in population they make up for in shear rudeness. There are some advantages though. I know a healthy handful of teachers, and it makes for a pretty good living. They’re all relatively happy and do pretty well on up the scale.

Re: the suburban districts and what they have to tolerate from students, parents, etc…now I think we’re branching off in a little different direction from the original discussion - what you’re hinting at sounds like the overly entitled student-parent combo, unlike what I described above (the total-deadbeat student/parent combo). My wife encounters a lot of this at her job (one of the state-system colleges); she has stories that are just unthinkable to me in the entitlement department…parents calling the deans on behalf of their children (again, these are COLLEGE students!) and other similar things.[/quote]
Ah, maybe I misstated it. My wife and her friend were at rural districts too (almost W.Va) They were like monkeys in the middle between rude bastards that didn’t care about their education, angry parents that didn’t care either, and admin that was friends with the families of the rotten kids.(small towns/hamlets with big families)
The really crazy thing that has crept into both groups is their belief that their kids are infallible, and everything is someone else’s problem. I went to school with the “golden” kids that all had their records kept clean and were supposed to be the good ones. Man, that treatment hasn’t worked out too well for some of them. Literally coddled from cradle to grave.
Here ^ you are, pathetically pretending, to the deception of exactly nobody, that allegations and accusations cannot stand as evidence (i.e., are to be dismissed out of hand) – as if there were no reason to even consider evaluating the credibility of the source (in the present case, unlike with Thernovich and Breitbart and Gatewaypundit and all the other benthic shitholes you’ve been drawing from for a year, the sources are the CIA case officers involved in the investigation via a war correspondent of stellar credential and reputation) and/or the extent to which the allegation accords with the other relevant evidence (fantastically).
…But here you were, back before you needed to adopt the above transparent and idiotic pose in order to avoid yet another public faceplant into the cold concrete of your inability to form and defend coherent thoughts in the English language:
Do you see what this is? It’s you losing, definitively. Because it turns out that you do believe allegations to be legitimate forms of evidence, and you believe them to be so to an extent that is commensurate with the strength of their sourcing and the degree of correspondence between them and the other relevant facts. You’re so fucking pitiably easy to beat that it isn’t even fun.
Also, if you don’t actually know the answer to your third question, why are you pretending to have an opinion on any of this in the first place?

There’s a huge crevase of difference between a rape claim and the president of the United States commiting treason and espionage.
Do I really have to explain this?
Ever heard - extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence?
I don’t accept jesus’s divinity claims for the very same reason. They’re based on hearsay and the claim is extraordinary
It’s difficult to believe that there could be any less…
