    Ok, but I was talking about fundamentals of discussion, one of which is the burden of proof is on the claimant.

    When becoming a new US citizen, one does not pledge their love to the country - they pledge it to the constitution. Same thing with elected officials.

    Ironically in Omars case she has self destructed from what I know and put herself at risk due to how she entered here and her problem over her marrying her brother and issues over tax laws she is alleged to have broken.

    Good point. Now about your claim???? I guess your burden is to prove it.

    Many Trumpites have been stampeded into thinking someone or something is going to save them from having their income squeezed if they lose their job because their skills are out-of-date, and they're too old for a company to invest in training and/or retraining.

    Republicans won't save them, even to the extent they should where we make an opportunity to gain skills available. Their buddy, Trump, and Republican legislators, aren't hoping to train and retrain workers. There's no push to make training happening.

    Some of them think the Orange Oaf intends to get them high-wage, low-skill jobs. Or that he'll pension them off when they're 50, out of a job, and short on marketable work skills.

    Regardless of what you 'believe', my point stands. A POTUS should not be calling for elected officials to be 'going back' because he thinks they don't love the country. That isn't a requirement of the job. SHOULD they? Of course. But neither he nor anyone else knows - for fact - whether or not they love their country.

    You participate in racist attacks by supporting people who make them.

    Is that the kind of broken logic you used to teach the little kiddies in school?

    In fact it is - but it isn't broken logic. The only thing for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing.

    As I thought all you have is bumper sticker accusations that you can't defend in an in depth debate and you know you will get your ass handed to you in all these countries just like you did about Iran.
    I'll move on and have a nice day.:)

    All we can go on with the Gang of Four is their public comments which seem to be 100% anti America pro socialism and their voting record which favors other countries and socialism so yeah I think it's fair to call them anti America socialists.

    Let me know when you have evidence of the brother claim. Until then, it isn't relevant to anything.

    The other guy kicked over the chess board and stomped away so I'll ask you who exactly is doing all the laughing and why? Is it Iran? Is it ISIS? Is it Mexico? Is it Russia? Is it Canada? All of the above? Pick the country or terrorist organization and tell me just why they are laughing.

    I can prove it by a reductio absurdum: if people don't back up the claims they make with evidence and/or argumentation, intelligent discussion becomes an absurdity. Therefore, for intelligent discussion to NOT be absurd, people need to support their claims.

    Well lets see. the majority of Canadians are more disgusted than cynically amused, just like large majorities in every damn country with grown ups in charge. You know like France, The UK, Germany, China, India, Japan. Nobody special in trumpland, I'm sure.

    On the one hand he's easily manipulable in the present, but on the other he's erratic, inconsistent and heavily influenced by the "last word in his ear".

    And then there are his tweets, where all the world can see that the President of the United States is a liar, a fool, a con artist, a cruel nasty divider, a bully, and smear artist extraordinare. Some terrific leadership qualities, wouldn't you agree?

    Yes, all these accusations have been made, including 'treason' and the usual 'racism', yet leftists are getting their panties in a wad because some audience members shouted 'send her back'. And chances are, because of her spotty history, that just may happen.

    "The Squad" should change their name to "The Deplorables".

    Justin Trudeau, Macron, and May are all less popular than Donald Trump. China doesn't count, of course, and Trump is about equal with the Japanese leader at 45%. The only one ahead of Trump is Merkel, who just recently gained a few points.

    The fact is you know nothing about what international leaders are thinking or doing but you're clearly getting your information from the CBC. Do you really believe Americans care what Canadians, Chinese, Germans or French care about their President? He's working in their interests, not yours.

    The only President foreigners have liked is Barack Obama, and that was only because of the color of his skin. Hence the Nobel Prize for never having made even one accomplishment.

    They'd love OAC to become President also, or Maxine Waters, but do you really believe Americans will elect their president in order to satisfy foreigners? Most foreigners have enough problems of their own without deciding which President the American people should elect.
