Nothing unconstitutional about it whatsoever. Moreover, constitutions can be changed and amended - only the US seems to have this weird fixation on a 300-year-old document being some infallible piece of wisdom that never needs updating due to the march of time and the changing of society and techology.

And honestly, any attempt to rewrite the constitution now would be hijacked by special interests, fanatics, etc.

You might want to go and have a re-read yourself. Here, I'll even give you the expanded quote:

"We've got to keep our country safe. You look at what's happening in Germany. You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible. You look at what's happening in Brussels. You look at what's happening all over the world. Take a look at Nice. Take a look at Paris."

Guess what happened in Germany, Brussels, Nice, and Paris over the last few years? Terrorist attacks. Guess what didn't happen in Sweden on the night referenced? A terrorist attack.

Except there's literally tons of other shit that's happened in those countries other than just terrorist attacks such as, you know, migrant violence... which is literally also a problem in Sweden. You chose to interpret (or more likely misinterpret) it as simply meaning terrorism so you could decry it.

You really shouldn't be surprised at Trump lying about this. After all, this is the same administration that brought us the Bowling Green Massacre and the Atlanta Islamist terrorist attack which - just like Trump's lie here - both never happened.

*I'm* moving the goalposts? Excuse me? And your claim on this is a pathetically flimsy "these things happen on a daily basis"?

Yes, you're moving the goalposts to pretending that only major acts of terrorism matter.

You know what? I'm calling your bluff on this. Prove that a terrorist attack happened on the night Trump referenced. If you can't, you're lying just as much as the president whose leg you're humping.

And I'm calling your bullshit. You purposefully misinterpreted and misrepresented his remarks to fit your agenda and, by pigeonholing it, you can write off the shit actually happening.

OK, Zeus, your reading assignment for this evening is to go lookup "small sample size" and write a report back on how it distorts statistical trends. Return to the discussion after you've figured it out.

OK, darkknight, your reading assignment for tonight is learning what current trends are and, of course, figuring out a more compelling lie to justify that Sweden's grenade crimes are more a fit for warzones than civilized nations -- a fact acknowledged by Sweden's own officials.

I never said Canada taught no history of foreign nations; merely that there's little reason why anyone outside the US would care about Jefferson or Twain specifically or why they would bother to learn about them.

So ignorance basically?
