Are you sick of Trump news yet ?

The Great Democrat, Franklin D. Roosevelt organised his own concentration camps.

Roosevelt sent his wife out to make very brief visits to the camps.

How is American fear of terrorism at home during a World War any different than your opinions of Muslim immigrants? Learn from history or be doomed to repeat it?

Not more so than any other ELECTED official, no.

As one who wields more power, and has more responsibility, than any other elected official, I would think he was worth more attention.

 

[SaskGuy]

If I wasn't busy elsewhere at the mill I'd go looking for videos from 8 years ago when otherwise-sensible people fell to their knees in the Mall saying in tears exclaiming—

This Man is the 2nd Messiah.

This Man is Hope. He deserves the Nobel-Prize.

This Man is Our Saviour. He will open a New Chapter in the History of the Land of the Brave and The Home Of The Free.

I also seem to recall that some people started to really dislike Obama after a while because he didn't live up to their outrageously high expectations.
Obama wasn't a bad president by any means. He wasn't perfect... but people expected him to solve every problem and be literally Jesus. It's hard to live up to a standard like that.

Those were internment camps. They were not concentration camps.

EDIT: George Takei was interred in one of those camps. It was nothing like a concentration camp:

Though interesting, it's not really valid for our purpose here.

Dictionary.com states:

concentration camp:

noun
1. a guarded compound for the detention or imprisonment of aliens, members of ethnic minorities, political opponents, etc.


internment camp:
noun
1. a prison camp for the confinement of enemy aliens, prisoners of war, political prisoners, etc.

They are the same and interchangeable.

As one who wields more power, and has more responsibility, than any other elected official, I would think he was worth more attention.

But you didn't say attention, you said criticism.

 

[Willie Boy]

I am ... discuss

You are discuss?

I am a bit Telly, but then the less we expose his lies and corruption the more people will just come to accept it as normal, and if that happens we're all fucked.

You are a bit tely? Ooh...... I hope there's some medication for that!

 

[pat grimshaw]

Those were internment camps. They were not concentration camps....

How can you tell the difference?

Franklin D Rooseveldt was a saviour to his nation. He was fighting what was known as a Total War.

 

[peeonme]

We tend to equate concentration camps with the death camps of Hitler.

 

[rareboy]

So Telly.

Let me get this straight.

You are sick of Trump.

So you make a thread about him.

In Hot Topics.

 

[MakeDigitalLove]

Yes, but he is POTUS. So get over it.

 

[Telstra]

Yes,
don't want any serious discussion about him in the "current events" threads.
I want to talk about Trump's porn stuff.
Such as, is he still having sex? if yes, what did he do?
And anyone can reach him via tweeter correct ? If so, why didn't anyone ask him these personal sexual behaviour/fetishes yet?

 

[pat grimshaw]

We tend to equate concentration camps with the death camps of Hitler.

Wiki says there were several other categories of 'concentration camp' based on 'purpose, administrative structure, and inmate population profile'.


State camps, guarded by the SA

Hostage camps, known also as police prison camps

Labour camps: concentration camps where interned captives were used for hard physical labor

Prisoner of War camps

Camps for the so-called "rehabilitation and re-education of Poles"

Collection and Transit camps: camps where inmates were collected or temporarily held


Roosevelt's Internment Camps were designed to stop any potential espionage by persons of Japanese or German descent resident in the US. But also to PROTECT THEM from the 407,300 American families who had one of their family members killed in service and who might want to wreak revenge on those persons of Japanese or German descent resident in the US.

Look at what you ended up with instead.....

But you didn't say attention, you said criticism.

So, Trump is not worth criticizing more than any other elected official, but he is worth more attention than any other elected official. Got it.

Your words, not mine. Duh!

Well, then, make some sense.

Trump promised to stop muslim immigration and invasion. He has not, to my knowledgs, suggested interning those already here.

Why would he make them interns?

 

[Alistair]

Why would he make them interns?

Are they going to intern at the White House? Or the Trump org.? He just figured out how to have a completely free work force. Make all the immigrants interns! Then deport them once the internship is over.

I'm more concerned about

1. the Trans-Pacific Partnership

2. the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
