Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

Nuns aren’t born nuns, they chose both to become nuns, the order they want to join, and for most orders, whether or not to don the habit or not. If they don’t like it, they can just stop being nuns and that’s that.
 
For a lot of women wearing hijabs, they’re born into a culture that demands they wear one or be subject to humiliation, beatings, or ostracism. The number of women that chose to wear a hijab fully on their won (as in weren’t indoctrinated into it and aren’t under threat for not wearing it) is relatively minuscule compared to that that have no real choice.

can somebody bring one the list of violations trump’s done?

@Angrybrony  
Oh what’s that you’re doing? Whataboutism? I thought you didn’t stand for that. I believe you called it “deflection”.

@MagpulPony  
it’s not. i’m just pointing out the hypocrisy of trump supporters crying about somebody touching the constitution.

@Background Pony #4146  

 
Welcome to Melbourne, where the Premier is a dictator controlled by China, courts imprison innocent people while letting criminals go free, the police beat up innocent people for no reason and let criminals be criminals, and we’re in lockdown until we have a vaccine for a disease whose order can’t be vaccinated against.

@Angrybrony
 
It is a whataboutism though.

@Angrybrony  
And when I do the same exact thing, you call it whataboutism and deflection.

@Background Pony #22A7  

 
That would be me.

@MagpulPony
 
@Dustcan  
nope. it’s me pointing out that trump supports don’t give a fuck about the Constitution they love so much.

@Angrybrony  
That’s still whataboutism. Regardless of your political opinion on the subject.

@MagpulPony  
And people living in glass houses still shouldn’t throw stones, yet here we are.

@Angrybrony
 
On the whole no more or less than the previous presidencies. Trump (along with China) is basically the nail in the coffin for Whig history, and is why the Dems aren’t an answer to him because they’d do the same thing with the imperial presidency like what Obama did.

@MagpulPony  

Yes, we do. He was referencing Trump’s long, long history of being a hysterical fearmongering xenophobe. Not the travel restrictions.
 
 
@MagpulPony  

Frankly everyone should be highly critical of Trump’s response to the virus. He spent weeks ignoring the problem and pretending it would just magically go away (emphasis on pretending since we now know for a fact he was advised on and knew how bad it would be), before eventually making a token effort that accomplished basically nothing. And his follow up to that, wasting months of time not coming up with a plan, not testing adequately, misinforming the public, and encouraging the politicization of the most basic means of protection from the virus before finally giving up and just pretending he actually took decisive action to fix things, has placed the US response and our country as a whole among worst, most pathetic on Earth.
 
But as far as the response to stopping travel, this story of Democrats up in arms over it and Biden condemning it is utter fantasy.

@Background Pony #6BF9  
You must be living in a different reality then.

@Background Human  
Its actually almost the same. And two additional things, the size of America compared to 1 european country and the fact that infections are rising in all countries here again. Its pretty much the same. They are now worried people are so sick and tired of it they are blatantly ignoring restrictions. So its pretty much the same as it is over in your yard at this point.

@Background Human  
Europe got hit sooner and harder than we did. Now we have more deaths than the EU, the UK, the four EFTA countries, and the six or seven CEFTA countries. Combined.  
{sigh} I accidentally read some of the words, so against my better judgment I will say something that should be obvious.
 
The US has recorded the most deaths from coronavirus in the world, you are correct. Same goes for the number of confirmed cases. But it also has a larger population than many other countries.
 
When you look at deaths per capita - as a proportion of each country’s population - the US is not top of the list, and doesn’t even crack the top 10.  
 
As an aside, I do find amusing how the US has apparently surpassed Sweden in this bracket, which is famous for its LEEROY JENKINS! approach. And if you wish to talk in terms of case-fatality, it’s not even CLOSE.

I’m pretty sure the most confirmed cases per capita record goes to Victoria. Might be wrong, though.

@GasMaskGuy98  
San Marino is a country? Never heard of it. Was the name of my old neighborhood though. One of them at least.

@MagpulPony  
San Marino is a country?  
Apparently so. 🇸🇲
 
It is a republic that forms a small enclave in Italy, near Rimini; amusingly, it’s capital is also called San Marino; It’s official language is Italian.  

@MagpulPony  
A 60 km² microstate landlocked in Northern Italy, which holds the record of being both the smallest and oldest constitutional republic in the world (it was founded in the early 4th century and, except for three brief periods of occupation that lasted less than a year altogether, has continuously remained independent since then).

@MagpulPony  
The point, though, is that if you consider constitutional afherence important in a President, you absolutly should not vote for Trump. Conversely, if you do vote for Trump, you clearly don’t care if the President adheres to the Constitution.

@CaptainXtra  
different countries, different cultures. America isn’t a muslim country, neither France (yet.) you can’t change this. Also muslim women hardly have a choice, it’s clearly a symbol of islamic oppression. Nuns don’t always wear this, only for ceremonies and in their respective cult places.

oh! What happened?  

@Background Human  
How much Americans are there in America already? What if you counted every state as a country and made independent stats to compare? Because with schenghen, you know, borders between european countries are no different than states. now you go back and make the addition and realize your bias.
