I have no sympathy. Don’t want to be called stupid, don’t say/do/post stupid shit. And stupid shit is almost all that I’m seeing/reading/hearing from Trump supporters. Stupid shit that makes the stupid shit the left puts out seem like a doctoral thesis in astrophysics. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > Seriously? Are you seriously going to deny that the same countries were involved? Offensive foul! Moving the goalposts. Poster first stated, “Obama did exactly the same thing”, then claimed the policies were similar, now merely that the named countries are the same. Five yards, loss of a down. ---

That’s not what you said in the beginning, liar. You said “Obama did exactly the same thing”. Just a liar and an ethnic-slur user. Sad! ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > That’s not what you said in the beginning, liar. You said “Obama did exactly the same thing”. Just a liar and an ethnic-slur user. Sad! Although it is mildly amusing to watch the **clothy** s of the world embrace the “Trump’s immigration policy is just like Obama’s, therefore his critics are liberal hypocrites!” talking point without ever noticing its mild conflict with the campaign’s “Obama’s immigration policy is a sieve! He’s letting in terrorists\*!” rhetoric. \*Who proceded to attack Bowling Green and Atlanta. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > Seriously? Are you seriously going to deny that the same countries were involved? > > And you have the gall to call me stupid. Fuck off. Let me ask you a question: Suppose we had two people. Both of them went to the same three banks. One of them made a deposit into their accounts at those three banks, and the other one robbed those three banks. If someone made the argument that what they did was “exactly the same thing” because “it was the same three banks”, you’d think that they were clinically retarded, wouldn’t you? ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > [Iraq is off the list.](http://abc7.com/travel/trumps-new-travel-ban-to-apply-to-those-seeking-new-visas/1786762/) But strangely enough, Bad Iraq nationals are still being [used as a justification](http://theweek.com/speedreads/684203/trump-removes-iraq-from-travel-ban-cites-iraqis-justification-order-anyway)for the ban. On non-Iraqis. So let’s ban people from Syria, Yemen, Iran, Libya. Somalia and Sudan. Because some bad people came in from Iraq. Makes no sense? Welcome to Trump-land. I can’t wait for him to declare war on Canada because Australia banned beef imports. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-was-wrong-and-you-were-right-trump-related/778824.md?page=10)
