    If Hillary was in the White House she would have done the following.
    -She would had banned the Japanese Anime Drawings. Which was currently saved by both US,Japan,Austria.
    -Hillary is and was always a Pro UN type Globalist.
    -Hillary Clinton would had signed the UN Global Migration pact along with Canada.
    -Hillary and Dems would had pushed for Carbon taxes.
    -Hillary would had pushed for Open Borders.
    -Hillary Would have preferred a war on Assad and in Syria, angering Iran and ally. So really not much of a difference.


    If there is one difference between the left and right? the left are never the No party to the UN.Dispute as much i hate Trump over Iran i would still prefer Trump over these nutcase leftists.

    Why you think Canadians want leftists out now the Carbon taxes are bad lol.

    No, nationalism is not only not a problem but it is a necessity.
    Your anarchism would result in a flood of statist communists that would destroy your happy little utopia and impose an overwhelming government.

    No. Because Agorists and AnCaps do not entertain welfare/freebies/incentives. The only incentive to come here would be to work, starve or go elsewhere, and the only 3 options available under our model.

    Your model is written by government bureaucrats which mucks everything up.

    Our model saves the trees and planet too because instead of thousands of pages of statist garbage, we would only use a few pieces of paper, at most.

    Trump has his hands tied by the courts and laws but he is doing what he can and it is more than any POTUS since Ike. (who didn't have his hands tied)

    Trump has done much to stop the weirdosexual agenda and his rhetorical outreach to them is empty.

    Ron himself or Pat Buchanan would be hard pressed to accomplish much more than Trump has but Hitlery or any other Demoncrat would be pouring gasoline on the fires with cheerful help from the RINOs just like all the things O'Bummer got away with.

    DACA would look like a highschool prank.

    I want to see him militarize the borders too but would he stay in office long enough for it to do any good?
    His impeachment hangs on the votes of RINOs at least until 2020 or whenever the counter investigations pay off in massive arrests of Senators and Representatives.

    He needs public support and political capital to do more aggressive moves, he couldn't have done what he is doing now at the beginning of his term and he must exhaust all lesser options and publicize the growth of the crisis in order to move on to more aggressive moves.

    This is a big winning play by GOP-Adelson-progressive wing, no evidence that GOP Christian conservatives was gullibelized in the process.

    MAGA: Trump SCOTUS pick delivers historic LGBTQ Civil Rights win

    Trump's SCOTUS pick from CFR, Neil Gorsuch, delivers big win for LGBTQ rights and further bolsters domestic/gobal MAGA campaigns for LGBTQ civil rights, diversity is our strength.

    Civil Rights Law Protects Gay and Transgender Workers, Supreme Court Rules

    The court said the language of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex discrimination, applies to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
    June 15, 2020
    It was a 6-3 decision, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Gorsuch joining the more liberal side of the court -- Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer.
    "Those who adopted the Civil Rights Act might not have anticipated their work would lead to this particular result," Gorsuch wrote. "Likely, they weren't thinking about many of the Act's consequences that have become apparent over the years, including its prohibition against discrimination on the basis of motherhood or its ban on the sexual harassment of male employees."

    In 2012, Donald Trump donated $20,000 to homosexual activists of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) that promoted: 1) "fisting" to middle school students; 2) books excusing homosexual paedophilia; 3) “homosexuality" to children as early as kindergarten.
    “Fisting” is stuffing a fist up the “anus” for sexual reasons.

    Kevin Jennings founded GLSEN in 1990. He and (other) homosexual teachers (including Jaki Williams) began indoctrinating children about the LGBT lifestyle from the age of 5.
    This included teachers “casually” showing that a “mother a father” for “parents” is just as “normal” as “two dads” or “two moms”.

    Jennings has stated that he was “inspired” by Harry Hay, who publicly stated that homosexual statutory rape is “precisely what 13-, 14-, and 15-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world. And they would be welcoming this, and welcoming the opportunity for young gay kids to have the kind of experience that they would need”: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/do...kindergarten-f
    (http://archive.is/11tpF)


    Trump defended this donation, by telling that it wasn’t his own choice. These donations were part of Trump's role in his reality television show, in which Trump would make a matching donation to charities of the choice of the guests on the show.
    Aubrey O'Day appeared on “Celebrity Apprentice” and was playing to benefit GLSEN. That show was executive produced by Trump’s friend Jeff Zucker, who has since become CNN president with the help of the Donald: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/tr...not-private-ph

    This shows Trump adminstration's inclusive and broad-minded approach, during recent stilmulus bailout funds distribution there was no discrimination against liberal groups linked to Obama administration even if there are some claims of 'well-connected' folks getting ahead of the line.


    Tenement Museum Names Kevin Jennings, an LGBT Advocate and Former Obama Education Official, as Its New President

    As the museum expands, so does its vision

    June 21, 2017
    “I think there’s a link between the work I do in the LGBTQ community and the work of the museum,” said Jennings, who is openly gay. “I believe that stories change people’s hearts, and when we did GLSEN, we used the stories of real life people to help educators understand the issues. And that’s what the museum does: We take stories of real life immigrants and humanize them.”
    In 2009, Jennings was appointed Assistant Deputy Secretary at the office of Safe & Drug-Free Schools in President Obama’s administration, where he led an anti-bullying initiative.
    Tens of Millions of Dollars in PPP Loans Went to NYC Museums, Art Galleries, and Orgs

    David Zwirner, Pace, and Gagosian galleries each received over $2 million in PPP funding, and the Whitney and the Guggenheim Museum each received a loan between $5 and 10 million.

    July 7, 2020
    The Jewish Museum, the Frick Collection, and the September 11 Memorial Museum received loans that range between $2-5M. Other institutions like the New Museum, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Tenement Museum, the Rubin Museum, and the Museum of the City of New York have received loans of $1-2M. About eight other museums in the city received loans ranging from $350K-1M. Those include the Queens Museum, El Museo del Barrio, the American Museum of the Moving Image, the Museum of Arts and Design, and the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, among others.

    I just hope that the conservatives that voted Donald into the White House are as understanding of our children being indoctrinated with the LGBT agenda as the folks over here in Europe (although some of those imported "backwards" Muslims aren't as understanding).


    The associate of Steve Bannon (who was really the mastermind behind the 2016 Trump campaign) Trump supporter Milo Yiannopoulos has been advocating gay paedophilia, between adult men and 14-year-old boys.


    Yiannopoulos said:
    We get hung up on this sort of child abuse stuff, to the point where we are heavily policing consensual adults.

    In the homosexual world, particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men — the sort of ‘coming of age’ relationship — those relationships in which those older men help those young boys discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable, sort of rock, where they can’t speak to their parents.

    But you know what? I’m grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn’t give nearly such good head if it wasn’t for him.

    On July 19, 2016, Gays for Trump hosted a party, called "Wake Up!", at the Wolstein Center, in Cleveland, Ohio, United States, during the 2016 Republican National Convention. Speakers at the party were Milo Yiannopoulos and Pam Geller and the VIP guests at the party were Ann Coulter, Amy Kremer, Lisa De Pasquale, Genevieve Wood, Geert Wilders, and Roger Stone. Richard B. Spencer also attended the party.

    On January 20, 2017, Gays for Trump hosted an inauguration party, called "Gays for Trump DeploraBall Gala", was held at the Bolger Center Hotel in Potomac, Maryland, United States. The party celebrated the inauguration of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States.

    After ignoring LGBTQ Pride month since he took office—and moving to roll back LGBTQ rights in so many areas—President Donald Trump had the gall to tweet about celebrating Pride on the eve of Pride month, in a couple of tweets on Friday in which he also claimed he had “launched” an effort to decriminalize homosexuality around the world.
    But Trump’s celebration of Pride is as fraudulent and calculated as his claim to be fighting to decriminalize homosexuality. This is in fact an attempt to portray himself as supportive of LGBTQ people as he gears up for the 2020 re-election campaign.
    The goal is less about getting much of the community’s backing—which will be near impossible—but more about keeping or getting the support of many others who might be turned off by blatant anti-LGBTQ bigotry.
    The Long, Futile Search for President Trump’s LGBT Pride
    It’s exactly what Trump did in 2016. And the media in particular should be forewarned this time around that it’s all one big sham.
    Trump’s attacks on LGBTQ rights from early in his presidency have been documented, from his Twitter announcement in July of 2017 that he was banning transgender people in the military to his Justice Department’s federal court brief, filed at about that same time, defending discrimination against gay, lesbian and bisexual people in employment.
    But in the past several weeks the assault on LGBTQ rights has ramped up aggressively. The president trumpeted the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) expansion of a so-called conscience rule allowing for health care providers—including physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and teachers—to turn away LGBTQ people and others based on religious grounds.
    HHS’ Office of Civil Rights last week also proposed a new rule to strip protections from discrimination in the Affordable Care Act which, at first, seemed solely to affect transgender people—terrible enough—but upon further scrutiny it became clear would allow discrimination against all LGBTQ people.
    That followed a new rule by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ending protections in federally-funded homeless shelters for transgender people.
    The Trump administration will soon roll back an Obama administration ban on discrimination against gay and lesbian couples among federally-funded adoption and foster care agencies, according to a report in Axios.
    The State Department also appears to be using challenges to birthright citizenship of gay and lesbian parents’ children who were conceived and born, sometimes with the help of egg donors and surrogates, in other countries—even though one or both parents are U.S. citizens—as another way to diminish same-sex marriage.
    Trump judicial nominee Howard Nielson Jr., who as an attorney defended California’s Proposition 8 (which banned same-sex marriage) by arguing that homosexuality is a choice, was confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate last week as a district court judge in Utah.
    Nielson is just one of a slew of federal judges with hostility to LGBTQ rights Trump has appointed.
    While Trump’s Supreme Court appointees, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, claimed in confirmation hearings that the landmark Obergefell marriage equality decision is settled law, Gorsuch wrote a dissent in a case in 2017 in which he invited state courts to challenge Obergefell, and neither justice has shown deference for precedent, alarming the court’s liberals.
    How could Trump convince political reporters to push the notion that he has, at worst, a “mixed” record on LGBTQ rights and, at best, is pretty good compared to other Republicans?
    He succeeded in doing just that 2016, in part by simply using the term “LGBTQ” in his speech at the Republican National Convention—something no Republican candidate had ever done—claiming he’d protect “LGBTQ citizens.” His record now, however, is quite clear.
    Except Trump’s already showing us how he’s going to attempt to obscure it, with tweets like the ones on Friday, which get breathless headlines from too many of the media. And with interviews like the one he did two weeks ago, in which Trump responded to a Fox News interviewer’s question about Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg’s same-sex marriage by saying, “I think it’s absolutely fine.”
    He went on to agree with the interviewer that it’s a “sign of great progress,” adding, “Yeah, I think it's great. I think that's something that perhaps some people will have a problem with, I have no problem with it whatsoever.” His interviewer, Steve Hilton, didn't raise Trump's opposition to marriage equality and his appointment of judges hostile to LGBTQ rights.
    Trump and his defenders, which include gay Republicans such as his ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, are pointing to a supposed efforts to combat homophobia worldwide right on cue.
    Grenell earlier this year had in fact announced a “push” by the Trump administration to fight the criminalization of homosexuality around the globe.
    It was odd coming from an ambassador—located in another country—and the state department in Washington hadn’t announced any specific plan. Even Trump seemed unaware of this effort when asked about it by a reporter, responding, “I don't know which report you're talking about.”
    As the New York Times reported, fighting criminalization of LGBTQ people in other countries, is, according to the State Department, “longstanding” policy from the Obama years, and it was “unclear…whether the decriminalization effort was, in fact, new.”
    It would be nice if this were one pro-LGBTQ Obama initiative the Trump administration has decided to continue—unlike the many it is rolling back—but it hardly makes Trump a savior for LGBTQ people.
