Certainly, no misunderstanding there. He always wanted to be a little statesman.
Indeed, manyâs the time Iâve enjoyed hearing The Donald quote and expand upon the insights of Emerson
" Itâs inevitable Trumpâs plans would result in the death or imprisonment of many. So yes, Trump would be conducting an ethnic cleansing, in every sense of the word."
It does not include KILLING. Dumb exclusionary actions, but not killing.
Drive an elderly, sick person out into the desert and dump them off. If they die tell the police to get off your lawn, youâve done nothing wrong. Get back with me about how that works out for you.

And Mayor Khan has basically said " Fuck you Mr Trump " .
Ok, I just looked up a decently done wikipedia entry on ethnic cleansing which considers ethnic cleansing to be a continuum starting with discrimination, then intimidation, then forced migration but can extend to genocide as well as targeted rape.
So yes, for the sake of a one-liner that came to me before Iâd had my second cup of coffee, I stepped in it up to my neck. It was written from incomplete understanding; I apologize.

Headlines around the web talk about âTrump to Make Exception,â etc, etc, etc. They read as if the guy were president and not just a bloviating, shape-shifting fascist who has found himself in a runaway performance art skit.
And another thingâthe piece about the Quinnipiac pollâQâs polls have been really effed up all year. Nowhere near what the majority of pollsters come up with. Why devote an article to the findings of one pollster who is mediocre at best?
Making an exception to Trumpâs ban on all Muslins and allowing Khan in this country is a very slippery slope thatâs slippery and not good. Sad, in fact. Because Khan could be under the control of ISIS and could have a bomb inside his body that would blow up the White House and the Washington Monument. That would be bad, and bad things are bad, in fact.
I enjoy your rhetoric, Jersey Dave. Iâm getting a little miffed by these holier than thou types, however, who police other peopleâs opinions. If I wanted self-righteous, Iâd listen to Trump speak.
âyour rhetoric doesnât add anything.â
Eat shit! how about that rhetoric? Does that add something?
Your words make no sense. Stop embarrassing yourself. âEthnic Cleansingâ means killing. Applying the term to include just vile discrimination is childish.
The trumpet just canât keep the dim 10-year old boy inside him bottled up long enough to put a coherent sentence together
Iâm sure Trump sees Sadiq Khan as a good sand n*****r.
Um, no.
ethnic cleansing
noun
Simple Definition of ethnic cleansing
: the practice of removing or killing people who belong to an ethnic group that is different from the ruling group in a country or region
Source: Merriam-Websterâs Learnerâs Dictionary
Ethnic cleansing is the ***systematic forced removal*** of ethnic or religious groups from a given territory by a more powerful ethnic group, with the intent of making it ethnically homogeneous.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing
Ethnic cleansing, the attempt to create ethnically homogeneous geographic areas through the deportation or forcible displacement of persons belonging to particular ethnic groups. Ethnic cleansing sometimes involves the removal of all physical vestiges of the targeted group through the destruction of monuments, cemeteries, and houses of worship.
I could post another several pages of reputable reference sources highlighting and emphasizing that ethnic cleansing is predominately defined by removal and deportation of people, as opposed to killing them. So, no, you're incorrect in your interpretation of the academically accepted definition of ethnic cleansing.

There was a lot of focus on a Public Policy Polling whose results showed that trumpet was more popular than lice and root canals, but almost as popular as cockroaches. Sure, I laughed at Maddow when she ran this down, but mostly I was creeped out to think this is what this candidate has reduced the public discourse to. Cold comfort is that the results also show Clinton has a small lead, but the GOP unifying around trumpet.
And I loved that Peter had them too!
haha!
Nope
