It doesn't. It's even less workable than that stupid judge's "no visas for anyone" idea.

It's Trump.  Whether it could work in practice is not a consideration

I think Mr Trump's staff have not carefully considered the implications of this proposal before releasing it.

On the contrary.

I don't understand.  How does this work in practice?  So everybody who enters the US will have to fill out a card that has the question: Are you a Muslim? Please tick yes/no.  Anybody who ticks no gets in.  I'll tick no even if I were a Muslim.

Donald Trump has a sixth sense for detecting Muslims.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

Is this is history repeating itself as farce when was the tragedy?
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

WWII.

But I don't think the comparison of trump is with the fascists, I think it is with the america firsters in the US.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Trump really isn't interesting enough to be talked about in 3 threads. :thumbsdown:
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

Wonder what daesh is making of this. Surely they are using it

This is not much of an argument against Trump's statement.  Everything pisses ISIS off.
Easier to spin "Muslims die die" than "hurray tolerance" though :p

I think he is the most interesting US presidential candidate in living memory.

I think he is an awesome/scary showcase of the degradation of American politics.

Sanders is the much milder symptom of that BTW. Why? Because he is campaigning for leftist stuff that has been clearly shown as not working in Europe and South America, and Americans didn't care for that while evidence of it not working was not abundant. Now that it clearly is not working, they want it!
