  I listened to the above you-tube video and Trudeau says Canada welcomes those who are fleeing ISIS. He doesn't appear to say anything in the video about the government's approach to the return of former ISIS fighters. I'm not saying he hasn't ever said anything about them - just that I didn't hear him say anything in the video about them.

  It was the framing of the question, the questions was about ISIS fighters being integrated into Canadian societ, NOT refugees. Trudumbass deflected because they are welcoming back ISIS fighters, and he answered the question by talking about refugees.

  In a year-end interview with one of Canada's state television networks, CTV, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that he believes returning Jihadists — like those ISIS members headed back to Canada after losing the fight abroad — can be rehabilitated into "powerful" voices against radicalism within Canada.

  Also this...

  This week, the government officially apologized to Mr. Khadr for the role Canadian security officials played in the abuses he suffered as a teenage prisoner of the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The apology came days after Ottawa paid $10.5-million to Mr. Khadr to settle a $20-million lawsuit he filed over violations to his rights as a Canadian citizen
  Mr. Khadr pleaded guilty in 2012 to killing U.S. Delta Forces Sergeant Christopher Speer.

  Yes, the Canadians paid a Terrorist 10.5 Million dollars and an apology after fighting US troops in Afghanistan.

  Newspeak is a controlled language, of restricted grammar and limited vocabulary, a linguistic design meant to limit the freedom of thought—personal identity, self-expression, free will—that ideologically threatens the régime of Big Brother and the Party, who thus criminalized such concepts as thoughtcrime, contradictions of Ingsoc orthodoxy.

  Blackwhite

  The word blackwhite denotes the Newspeak user's ability to believe that black is white, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. Yet it has two contradictory connotations: (i) Applied to an opponent of Ingsoc ("Impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts") and (ii) applied to a member of the Party ("A loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands"). Moreover, as Newspeak, the word blackwhite also is an example of the Party's doublethink, which re-writes the past.

  How about ALL the times Trump derided Obama for EVER going golfing, and how he promised he would never?

  I think that would be Trump acting foolish, no doubt about it. I agree. Bad form, trump being obnoxious trump.

  Doesn't make a fake number real though. I have no problem criticizing Trump's faults, I just want to base them all on their individual merits like I would with any president.

  Politifact link you provided, case and point

  Here’s the important point to keep in mind: There are no definitive reports on the cost of Trump’s travel, nor of any other president. The most comprehensive analyses exist on Trump and Obama’s presidencies, and have been carried out by watchdog groups..."No president in history has imposed larger personal lifestyle costs on the taxpayer than Donald Trump." It’s too early to call Trump’s personal travel itinerary the costliest in presidential history, as he’s only a few months into the job. It’s also a bold claim to make in the absence of definitive data on the costs of presidential travel, which is generally not disclosed.

  Also the Trump Golf Count thing you shared is a little more than half the number you stated... again, its Ironic you cited fake news, followed up by a fake statistic.
  

  I wont disagree its a lot and probably a waste of money, but this is a president thing, not a Trump thing it seems, just trying to keep everything factual

  Since you mentioned "fake news" and this very specific $91,655,424 number, please provide a source

  I am unfamiliar with it. I am sure he spends a lot, as did Obama, and probably the biggest price tag simply comes from security costs with anywhere POTUS goes.

  But please, source?

  It would be extremely embarrassing for you and very ironic if this number came from internet speculation without valid citation to back it up, also known as...

  FAKE NEWS

  Trump took what existed and fed it and nurtured it and called it good.

  I don't think anyone could ever prove such a thing, there were several things pushed by the fringe left that I would say cause this. There are racists out there, the racism of the alt-right, white nationalist whatever you want to call it is "IDENTITY POLITICS". Its bad and its stupid. Its been relatively quiet for some time. Now over the last few years, you have this massive push from the left of what? "IDENTITY POLITICS" and this movement is getting extreme airplay from politicians, celebrities, and the mainstream media. They have sold their soul to go all in on this other side of the coin of "IDENTITY POLITICS" It is a natural progression that this irrational movement on the left, is giving rise to this alt-right, its a fight between idiots, but the left can't seem to call out that on their side.

  This new movement has taken several unfactual, IDENTITY-based stands that are causing division. For example, black lives matter, something Obama played up not down, that is emotive, and not based on fact or reality. The lefts broadcasting of emotional, nebulous, protests and bitching is dividing the country, there are racists out there, of course, but this regressive movement has been calling them out from the shadows to fight for several months now.

  You can't pick and choose what identity politics is best because they are both WRONG! Trump can act like a petulant child, but the whole left political/msm/celebrity spectrum has more than dipped down to that level, in fact lower in some cases.

  Does anyone understand that? Put a vagina hat on and write obscenities on cardboard and claim the president is a mental case, I find it all very ironic.

  What Trump may have capitalized on, and what Hillary did not, in fact, she shit on, was middle America ie; not LA and not NYC. Making comments like "deplorable" pushed people into Trump corners. Attacking white America's immutable characteristic of the pigment in their skin, believe it or not, pisses people off. They have put regular white people at the top of an imaginary oppression hierarchy that makes no logical sense, and people need to stop feeding into that nonsense before they complain about the backlash from it!

  What will happen if Trump is elected?

  rabid anti-trump complainers during 2016 election: "It will definitely bring about the end of days, Muslims will be rounded up into detention camps and put in gas chambers, the world will explode in an orgy and nuclear destruction and the economies will fall, fire and brimstone will fall from the sky!!!!"

  A year later, is Trump doing better or worse than you thought?

  rabid anti-trump complainers 2018: "worse! Oh god much worse than I ever could have imagined!"

  lmfao!

  Pathetic

  I agree there are some things Trump gets an F on, on his report card, but not everything, be realistic otherwise it makes your position looney.

  The biggest issue right now is the media - they are there to influence and to bias the electorate, not to educate or hold politicians to account consistently. Now social media companies who could have provided free-flow of information are shown up to be just as biased and just as likely to cause damage.

  This to me is one of the most frightening trends in the political landscape right now, with terrible implications. Mainstream media is a joke, but now the powers that be behind google and youtube are taking a frightening slant on censorship. I don't believe they are SUPPOSED to be a place for free speech, they have that choice, but they present themselves that way and that is a problem. Demonetizing anyone who speaks outside of their narrative, and not even on anything that radical. Dave Rubin had a video demonetized that was simply his opinion on why socialism is not cool. If you are really paying attention right now to what is going on with idea and discussion censorship in this country, I will tell you it's not Trump, it's not the GOP, it's not conservatives of any kind that are pushing us towards 1984.
