Well, if they are flown there, take them no matter the circumstances. What else could I have possibly meant by that?

If they're your citizens and they've been nabbed off the street in a hostile foreign country (USA) don't make them suffer for your principles and let them end up in some camp or holding cell, because that's what these nuts are gonna do. They 100% will be abused if they get rejected back out of Columbia, because that's a clear sign no one cares about their well being.

Why? What's that got to do with anything? It's not what happened in the article. You're just making a strawman argument.

If the Nazis have grabbed your citizens, please take them back. Leaving them in the hands of Nazis is a cruelty of its own.

Huh? What are you talking about? That's not a statement trusting Trump. The headline implies the flights were rejected. They weren't. Drink more coffee dude. It's Trump's propaganda that they were rejected.

I mean... he didn't ban the flights in the first place. He just declared he would not accept his countrymen being treated poorly on return. I think the objection was packing them all in military planes instead of normal commercial flights your average person travels. It had more to do with mistreatment of their citizens in the process of repatriation, which is valid.

No. Part of it was whether she was making the comment based on race. Don't move the goalposts now that I gave the examples you asked for.

Well it does matter, because it's reality. You exist in the real world, not just an online world made up of echo chambers to your liking. People are going to make jokes not to your taste and they aren't monsters because you don't have the same sense of humor.

It's not like I'm saying it's an appropriate thing to say to a child in a classroom, just that it's an established joke and not a default "this person is a racist" kinda comment.

Oh yeah, big time trivial. Like a joke even.

You've got Google so you can look it up yourself. But heres a few of many different references to the joke:

Chris Distefano, a pretty well known comedian does a bit on it.

Here's a t-shirt from a baby clothes website: https://heybaby.threadless.com/designs/tiny-terrorist-stretch/kids/baby-t-shirt

https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/1aeyxhj/toddler_terrorist_organization/?rdt=37501 A mother calling her toddler a terrorist in a funny video

There obvioualy won't be a video of a teacher saying it because you don't film other people's children and post it online.

Ehh except it is something people say and when pointed at children is a cheeky acknowledgement of how children are completely unreasonable sometimes.

It's very common to refer to children (most often toddlers) as terrorists. Ive seen it countless times in mom groups and it never has any hate behind it.

Elon is a Nazi because he does Nazi salutes and courts favor with Nazis, and reposts nazi propaganda, calling it true. It's not comparable.

When conservatives say we have "woke mind virus" this thread is exactly what they are talking about. It's embarrassing watching something so trivial get blown into some hateful act.

Yes. It's better there. The table isn't ranked, it's medal/no medal.
