POTUS 45.5 - Sweden is Under Attack

Re: POTUS 45.5 - Sweden is Under Attack

I figured that was going to happen. It seems the corporate elements of CPAC didn't care about him being openly gay and figured he was giving them an "in" to Millennial minds, but the cranky old religious right were practically up in arms about his invite.

I've always thought of CPAC as more about thumping bibles than any other single topic.

Pretty much spot on. At least in NYS, the Conservative party was created about 100 years ago by a group of Roman Catholics as a response to the Republican party not suiting their needs. It's not surprising to see corresponding morals be important to them, and to be implemented in a fascist manner.

If only THIS actually was true... Whatever the "mainstream" media is, the vast majority of Americans get the vast majority of their news from it. If FOX could actually and consistently call Trump out for his repeated and nearly constant lies maybe the rubes who fell for his crap in November will come around.

On second though..., no they won't.

What has he lied about? Or do you expect everyone to regurgitate the same dog****?
 
Re: POTUS 45.5 - Sweden is Under Attack

That would be a cynical view ... that I too have been holding inside for a while.

If feels like we've all been convinced (coerced?) to pick a side and make a bet in a massive game.

The problem? --> What's the game? ... And who's taking the vig.

I know it is a cynical view, I just feel some times this is one big social experiment being played out.
 
Re: POTUS 45.5 - Sweden is Under Attack

not worth repeating since FlagDUDE08 posted it

Every time the other posters skewer you I wonder if you really believe the absolute crap that you post, or is it your own private little joke. There has to be something seriously wrong with you, I've concluded. I'd put you on ignore but I've found we quote posts from each other so often around here that it isn't worth the time. I have generally learned now to not read your posts, and only got caught because you quoted me. My mistake and not your fault. But seriously, you are one troubled person. Do you take your meds or all they just stuffed under your mattress?

Anyone needs to know what the President is lying about now, he's doubling down on Sweden.

Give the public a break - The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Feb. 20, 2017

Immigration is, in fact, a hotly debated issue in Sweden, Germany and many other European countries, and a subject of frequent news coverage.

Moreover, statistics in Sweden do not back Mr. Trump’s claims. Preliminary data released last month by Sweden’s crime prevention council found no appreciable increase in crimes from 2015, when the country processed a record 163,000 asylum applications, to 2016. The council did note an increase in assaults and rapes last year, but also recorded a drop in thefts, robberies and drug offenses.

At least Obama existed on this planet.
 
Just because you and I dont like what the troll has to say doesnt mean people should not give him a platform if they want to. Maher can make his own choices and he did. I doubt his audience cared that much ESPECIALLY after hearing Larry Wilmore tell Milo to F off and having the Former Intelligence worker tell Milo to F himself because he isn't even from America and insulted his ability to think cause he dared question the horrible rhetoric.

It isnt like anyone watching the how will wake up tomorrow all of a sudden backing Milo and Breitbart cause of the interview. Hell Andrew Breitbart himself used to be on the show all the time so it isnt like this anything new. Maher has them on so he can poke holes in their BS for everyone to see.

bucky,

I get what you are saying...but the President lying (and he lied, he wasnt shining a light he went in front of people/cameras and implied Sweden was under attack) cannot be spun the way you are spinning it. Sweden's problems (if there are any) have nothing to do with what he was talking about. It is a logical fallacy.

The difference with Coulter and Milo is they don't care how you respond, just that you do respond, because they're not true believers and are only in it for the response itself. They're professional trolls who get paid by the proverbial click.

Breitbart himself was, I believe, a true believer. Alex Jones is a true believer.
 
Re: POTUS 45.5 - Sweden is Under Attack

I have lived in Sweden for many years and still visit and work there from time-to-time. The country is very close to having both a social and economic bubble bursting. I believe there are 55 "no-go zones" in all of Sweden(most in the southern parts). This means ambulances when going into these areas have police escorts and police tend to stay out of the area due to fake emergencies and there cars being lit on fire. In Sweden it is illegal for the police to state the race or what the criminal looks like...to avoid profiling. They have taken in way too many people in such a short time that they have kicked Swedes out of housing to make room for new residents to the country.

On the economic bubble bursting....The housing market in Stockholm is out of control. The apartment prices have been skyrocketing for about 15 years and the mortgage terms are crazy by US standards. The way it is set up, it would take 100 years to pay off the apartment, people's mortgage bill is almost all interest and "condo fees". The idea is that you just keep upgrading apartments, because you can sell your apartment for a large profit in a year or two. When the bubble hits, you will have most of Stockholm unable to pay off there apartments/cars/etc. People in Stockholm generally, live paycheck to paycheck with the fall back being they can always sell there apartment for a nice profit.

In regards to the comments made that an attack happened over the weekend is in accurate, but the light has been shined on Sweden and the problems they are currently experiencing from taking in mass refugees without much of a plan or housing for them.


Back to topics on these threads, the great divide amongst the American people is unreal. A divided people is much easier to control for both government parties....which in the end are probably the same people running both.

Sorry, I don't buy this. While I haven't lived in Sweden, I have lived in Scandinavia and own property over there. Except for the immigrant situation, the scenario you paint has been the status quo for Sweden pretty much forever. Sweden has always been expensive and rich. And frankly, immigration allows their labor market a safety valve for cheap labor (as it does in the US) in a country where everyone is middle class. Since the recession, they've been one the fastest growing economies in Europe (up 4.1%). Recent gloomy articles about Sweden warn of the potential shift to 'low growth'...which would be potentially that of the US (2.4%).

There's a direct correlation between "refugee" migrants and crime. The country refuses to profile as per their regulations, yet police have called it out at the risk of their employment (and potentially lives). Malmo is now one of the most dangerous cities in the world.

What's the next "lie"?

Scoob, I'm out of NYT views this month. Why'd they just go back to 2015? Why not go back to the beginning of the current wave of immigration, say 2012 or 2010? Wouldn't that be the better "before and after" for impact statistics? Comparing two, back-to-back years during the peak and after the initial influx, doesn't seem like a good way to compare impact statistics.

In 2013, immigration reached its highest level since records began with 115,845 people migrating to Sweden while the total population grew by 88,971.[3]
81,300 applied for asylum in 2014, which was an increase of 50% compared to 2013, and the most since 1992. 47% of them come from Syria, followed by 21% from the horn of Africa (mostly Eritrea and Somalia). 77% (63,000) requests were approved but it differs greatly between different groups. Nearly two weeks into October 2015, a record figure of 86,223 asylum applications was reached. In 2016, 28,939 people applied for asylum.[4]

Where's proof?

Also, I will not accept an Infowars.com link OR an Alex Jones YouTube video.

I have higher standards than the "fake media," I require two independent sources of the story (of which, I assume one of the above two have already commented on it).
