That article is factually wrong right off the bat, there's no budget cut, he's just shifting his cuts to go toward the military. Well that's wrong.

That article is factually wrong right off the bat, there's no budget cut, he's just shifting his cuts to go toward the military. Welp, here's more proof that you don't know what you are talking about.
Overall budget that is proposed would cut overall spending by little, while eliminating funding over 19 different funds.
While it's not a literal budget cut (about 1% reduction isn't really a cut), that's not what the article said. It said that one of the programs, which is a block grant to states who in turn fund only 3.3% (or about $250k) of it's donations wouldn't be supported by the federal government (still can be supported by states though).
So, try harder next time, ok?

Love how people don't blink an eye when some Muslims kill people but have our panties in a bunch over Russian ***...
I didn't know the UK Parliament was a part of the American government and that any unfortunate events outside of it should be a bigger concern for American citizens...
Well, some of the victims (including at least one that died) are American citizens, sooooooo.....

It's right there, on the second line.
Quote: Except, of course, that it doesn’t. It cuts about $54 billion from next year’s budget out of a total of $4 trillion in spending—a reduction of a little over 1 percent. It’s kind of a drop in the bucket.
It's not cutting 54 billions from the budget total spending, it's moving it elsewhere. Wait, did you just not only prove that the article is correct, and I'm correct, but you are also wrong?
That article is factually wrong right off the bat, there's no budget cut, he's just shifting his cuts to go toward the military. Problem is, neither the article nor myself said that Trump's budget was a budget cut. ~1% reduction in spending is not a budget cut. And also, while Defense is getting a bump from this, so is Transportation, so there goes your "shifting cuts to go towards the military" idea.
Try harder next time. I know you are so desperate to prove me wrong, but proving me right doesn't help you one bit....

Phew, it's all good, guys. We can finally ignore this most recent ISIS attack (and the countless others in recent years) because Candlejack found examples of Christians from days gone by that have done bad things too. Wow, and I was just about to feel bad for the victims and their families, but I'm pretty sure that would be racist.

Wow, and I was just about to feel bad for the victims and their families, but I'm pretty sure that would be racist. He has 7 instances of Christian-lead terrorism for the past 35 years vs. over a thousand Islamic-lead terrorist incidents of the same timeframe.
In which, over 20k deaths and 50k injured by Islamic terrorism.
Never mind that Christian-lead terrorism probably never hit that mark in the history of Christianity for a 35-year timeframe. Unless, of course (and liberals here would love to do it) you redefine the Crusades as terrorism, even though that didn't exist at the time....

Hold up, King. It would be very racist to not allow radical Islamists a crusade of their own after what the Christians did centuries ago. We just need to walk up and let them cut our privileged heads off so that they can get it out of their system, out of fairness.

Love how people don't blink an eye when some Muslims kill people but have our panties in a bunch over Russian ***... I'd love to remind you that white Christian terrorists also exist. Labeling one religion as "the religion of terror" makes you look mentally deficient.
And now, a short list of white Christian terrorists:
Adolph Hitler; Robert Lewis Dear; Dylann Storm Roof; Kim Davis; Cliven Bundy, Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy and their treasonous "supporters"/thugs...
There are many more out there, but it'd take too long to list them all.
It's okay Donny America will defend Canada from foreign invaders.

Here's some more in-depth info on Christian terrorism both in the U.S as well as the rest of the world, courtesy of Wikipedia.
Christian Terrorism
Quote: United States
See also: Anti-abortion violence in the United States and Terrorism in the United States
Contemporary American Christian terrorism can be motivated by a violent desire to implement a Reconstructionist or Dominionist ideology.[104] Dominion Theology insists that Christians are called by God to (re)build society on Christian values to subjugate the earth and establish dominion over all things, as a prerequisite for the second coming of Christ.[105] Political violence motivated by dominion theology is a violent extension of the desire to impose a select version of Christianity on other Christians, as well as on non-Christians.
After 1981, members of groups such as the Army of God began attacking abortion clinics and doctors across the United States.[106][107][108] A number of terrorist attacks were attributed by Bruce Hoffman to individuals and groups with ties to the Christian Identity and Christian Patriot movements, including the Lambs of Christ.[109] A group called Concerned Christians was deported from Israel on suspicion of planning to attack holy sites in Jerusalem at the end of 1999; they believed that their deaths would "lead them to heaven".[110][111]
Eric Robert Rudolph carried out the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in 1996, as well as subsequent attacks on an abortion clinic and a lesbian nightclub. Michael Barkun, a professor at Syracuse University, considers Rudolph to likely fit the definition of a Christian terrorist. James A. Aho, a professor at Idaho State University, argues that religious considerations inspired Rudolph only in part.[112]
Terrorism scholar Aref M. Al-Khattar has listed The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord (CSA), Defensive Action, the Montana Freemen, and some "Christian militia" as groups that "can be placed under the category of far-right-wing terrorism" that "has a religious (Christian) component".[113]
In 1996 three men—Charles Barbee, Robert Berry and Jay Merelle—were charged with two bank robberies and bombings at the banks, a Spokane newspaper, and a Planned Parenthood office in Washington State. The men were anti-Semitic Christian Identity theorists who believed that God wanted them to carry out violent attacks and that such attacks would hasten the ascendancy of the Aryan race.[114]
In 2011, analyst Daryl Johnson of the United States Department of Homeland Security said that the Hutaree Christian militia movement possessed more weapons than the combined weapons holdings of all Islamic terror defendants charged in the US since the September 11 attacks.[115]
In 2015, Robert Doggart, a 63 year old mechanical engineer, was indicted for solicitation to commit a civil rights violation by intending to damage or destroy religious property after communicating that he intended to amass weapons to attack a Muslim enclave in Delaware County, New York.[116] Doggart, a member of several private militia groups, communicated to an FBI source in a phone call that he had an M4 carbine with "500 rounds of ammunition" that he intended to take to the Delaware County enclave, along with a handgun, molotov cocktails and a machete. The FBI source recorded him saying "if it gets down to the machete, we will cut them to shreds."[117] Doggart had previously travelled to a site in Dover, Tennessee described in chain emails as a "jihadist training camp", and found that the claims were wrong. Doggart pleaded guilty in an April plea bargain stating he had “willfully and knowingly sent a message in interstate commerce containing a true threat” to injure someone. The plea bargain was struck down by a judge because it did not contain enough facts to constitute a true threat.[118][119] Doggart stood as an independent candidate in Tennessee's 4th congressional district, losing with 6.4% of the vote.[120] None of the charges against him are terrorism related.[121][122][123][124]
The November 2015 Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooting, in which three were killed and nine injured, was described as "a form of terrorism" by Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper.[125] The gunman, Robert Lewis Dear, was described as a "delusional" man[126] who had written on a cannabis internet forum that "sinners" would "burn in hell" during the end times, and had also written about smoking marijuana and propositioned women for sex.[127][128] He had praised the Army of God, saying that attacks on abortion clinics are "God's work."[129] Deer's ex-wife said he had put glue on a lock of a Planned Parenthood clinic, and in court documents for their divorce she said "He claims to be a Christian and is extremely evangelistic, but does not follow the Bible in his actions. He says that as long as he believes he will be saved, he can do whatever he pleases. He is obsessed with the world coming to an end."
Don't worry Candlejack I'm sure some Atheist will blow up a church just wait for it !

This is why we don't discuss religion cause when Muslims kill people we look the other way.

Hitler was a lot of things, but towards the end there he was very antagonistic to Christianity.
In a broader sense, Hitler is anything you're against. Don't like NASCAR? Hitler totally would have loved NASCAR. Hate potato chips? The man ate them every day. That annoying girl at work? She dated Hitler.

They arrested some French Tunesian in Antwerp who drove into the crowd of pedestrians in the busiest shopping area of Antwerp (nobody got killed or injured as far as I understand). He was drunk and on drugs apparently, carrying a riotgun and knives and an unknown substance in his car... Because of his Tunesian background everyone is pointing at muslim terrorism.
They're now debating if they can sue him for attempt at terrorism since no one seems to be sure it actually was a terrorist act or not cause he's still to drunk to answer any question.

How can we tell the difference between one or not? Even ISIS is claiming that the London attack yesterday was their doing, but I highly doubt it. The only person who knew (the idiot who did it) is dead as a doorknob.
Was the London attack Islamic-related? We will never know. The Right will say yes, the Left will say no, and only half of them will be right. Which half is up for debate.

I'm not 100% on why all the "religion is the opium of the people" karl marx~y stuff doens't seem to apply to islamic faith.
we'll drag a jesus freak cake baker into court for not putting two dudes as a cake topper and then boycott him and try to ruin his business...but then look the other way as gay people are stoned to death? and we're all ok with it? because? religious freedom?
did they ok abortion when I wasn't looking? or give any rights to women?
they still make women cover their heads in the presance of a man and walk behind them in public the last time I checked.....
so... we're going to circle back around and address that later or what? what's the plan?
