Some of those questions were really poorly worded. For example:

Q: White House puts media on notice: Did they cross the line? Yes or No

Is "they" the White House or the media? Now, since it is Fox, I know we are supposed to be questioning whether or not the media crossed the line but not everybody wears red-colored glasses.


My personal favorite:

Q: Should President Trump should lift the Obama sanctions on Russia?


Should President Trump should!

We did the same thing under the last two administrations.

My opinion: the admin has not provided the context on why this is so important that it was rammed through in an EO. There's plenty of solid logic why, resident in the Intel world. That's why the Obama administration created the tougher visa standards.

After 90 days, if nothing has changed, then I become much more concerned.

But I am not looking to change anyone's opinion. I can't. We're too polarized. Trying to maintain any sense of logic and objectivity is impossible today. I have friends who literally believe they are going to be deported because they are third generation Lebanese Americans.

People are going to believe what they want to believe.

Worldviews (I love the German word - weltanschauung) are being challenged here. Nothing good ever comes out of this. The last two administrations were equally as guilty, for different reasons. Just a continuation of the norm.

Good to see you again buddy. We need a pop in appearance over on the Flyers board. Needless to say, the views on Trump are a *bit* different than on here.

no way. those areas are a haven for conspiracy theorists on both side of the aisle. Bannon would make too much money off of them.

Quebec City bombing:
Quebec provincial police have released the names of all six victims who were killed:
Father-of-three Azzeddine Soufiane, 57, a grocer and butcher
Khaled Belkacemi, 60, a professor in the food science department at Laval University
Father-of-three, Abdelkrim Hassane, 41, an IT worker for the government
Aboubaker Thabti, 44, and two Guinean nationals, Mamadou Tanou Barry, 42, and Ibrahima Barry, 39

Mr Bissonnette was "unfortunately known to many activists in Quebec for taking nationalist, pro-Le Pen and anti-feminist positions at Laval University and on social media," Mr Deschamps posted on the organisation's Facebook page.
A man of Moroccan heritage who was also arrested after the attack, Mohamed Khadir, is now being treated as a witness.

The Moroccan-Candian was administering first aid.
probably should add Canada to the list

I realize you see yourself as the ultimate non-partisan, but I think your comparison is factually incorrect. There is a fundamental difference in a freeze in refugee placements while the screening process was overhauled and a travel ban that expands beyond refugees to legal immigrants (and with religious exemptions no less).

For those who don't know, a Navy Seal was killed and an 8-year old American girl who was the daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki (dead for nearly 5 years). Three al Qaeda leaders were killed.

The Pentagon said that 14 militants died, along with "numerous" civilians per an nbcnews report.
