Mournful Mika Wonders If Anyone Can Improve on Trump Ban

The last person you could imagine backing Donald Trump's Muslim ban might be Mika Brzezinski. Yet on today's Morning Joe, a reluctant Mika came close to doing just that. Brzezinski springboarded off the news that the visa screening program failed to stop Tafsheen Malik from entering the country although she was already radicalized at the time.

While professing her opposition to the plan, she called the news "incredibly disturbing." When former Obama car czar Steve Rattner admitted that the process in place "had failed," Mika suggested: "are you saying something that might be in line with Donald Trump's policy?" Mika went on: "I'm not sure Donald Trump's concept is good for our country," but "we just had a slaughter." Concluded Brzezinski: "someone tell me something better than what Donald Trump is saying," adding sarcastically "and there's got to be something better because everybody has been sitting here for days, just lambasting him."

Offer them a ham sandwich and ask them to draw a picture of Mohammed.

So how would you determine if an applicant had been radicalized?

You have to talk to them in their home country; approach them surreptitiously as a "radicalized" Muslim and talk about blowing up America. If they don't disagree vehemently, they don't get in.

I would not call this negotion but more instigation. He does like to get the cauldron boiling by commanding the conversation. Something that gets him unpurchasable publicity.

[Ken H]

Agree.

At least half of all women and Liberals simply want to go along where it is popular and fashionable to go. Their ideals and convictions are only as deep as the TV tells them. They just want to be liked and to feel good. The Democrat Party says that they "want to help the downtrodden", and that makes the squishy folk feel good about themselves. If a celebrity like Trump is on the ballot, against either a bitter woman with too much baggage, or an openly Socialist geriatric, the squishy folk can cross over to the celebrity without much trouble, because he is on TV and people laugh when he takes it to the media, and they can forgive his verbal bomb-throwing, "because that's just Trump bein' Trump". The Left and the GOPe have to somehow make Hillary or Bernie look "nicer" or "more popular" than Trump, and that is a tall order. Trump has his own TV show that gives struggling telegenic people a chance to become millionaires with their invention ideas. LIV's can go with that... and that's why the Left and the GOPe are in crisis mode.

(Again, I am for Cruz, who is the best man for the job to make the ballot in many years... but getting him elected will not be easy, and I'm voting for Trump, as GOP or 3rd Party, if Cruz isn't the GOP nominee.)

One correction—you mean San Bernardino.

So how would you determine if an applicant had been radicalized?

Ask them:

1) "Do you believe that Sharia should be the Law of the Land in the USA?"

2) "Do you agree with Former Islamic studies professor at the American University of Beirut, Sami Mukaram, (who) wrote in his book, At-Taqiyya fi'l-Islam (Dissimulation in Islam):

"Taqiyya is of fundamental importance in Islam. Practically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it. We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam, and that those few sects not practicing it diverge from the mainstream. Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era."

3) "Have you just lied to me?"

On the John Batchelor show, Larry Kudlow tried to hem and haw, but in the end he seemed supportive of Trump. His final point was that 'we are at war'.

He also dropped a very strong hint he will challenge Blumenthal for his Senate seat from CT.

TWO THUMBS UP!

[DoodleDawg]

Ask them

Yeah, that'll work.

[who knows what evil?]

It is NOT a religion.

This is going to be the most difficult hill to climb in the war against Islam...convincing the American people that Islam is NOT a religion. They are using our First Amendment against us, and they have been very successful.

[who knows what evil?]

They came to this country to KILL Americans, and we invited them in.

[PIF]

Except these ‘immigrants’ will kill Dems with equal abandon. Dead voters do not a happy Democrat make.

[grania]

Thank you for the correction.

[notdownwidems]

So how would you determine if an applicant had been radicalized?

Are they muslim? Then yes

[notdownwidems]

can, Mika. Declare Islam to be what it is and what it is not. It is an organized criminal activity which is the invention of a madman designed to raise an Army to conquer the world. It is NOT a religion. Strip the citizenship of any American who converts and deport all followers of Mohammad the Madman to Saudi Arabia. Break off diplomatic relations with all Mohammadan countries. Declare war on Mohammadism. Declare war on ISIS and use tactical nuclear weapons on them and their strongholds. They want death. Give them death.

I REALLY like the way you think!

“When you have lost Mika, you have lost the fight.”

No idiot talking head tv personality has anything whatsoever to do with the winning of this battle. As a matter of fact, their ignorance and cowardice have had a lot to do with the reasons we’re in it.

[exit82]

I knew what you meant, FRiend. :)

[miss marmelstein]

That show is completely bi-polar. One day they talk sense, the next nonsense. Yesterday, she was hysterically condemning Trump.

[DoodleDawg]

Are they muslim? Then yes

And you determine they are Muslim how?
