hmmmm... I believe they wrote about slavery in the Old Testament. And, wow - weren't the Israelites slaves for a while? And, didn't the old timey armies go and rape, pillage, and enslave those who they conquered? Some of that happened in the "BC times". Didn't it? I mean, whole bunches of people, enslaved... clearly NOT the worst in history, right?
Another poster just pointed out the difference in population now compared to BC. You all can't have it both ways. Which is it ?
As he also said: Abe Lincoln was a Republican, who knew?!?! Never mind the GOP has called itself the Party of Lincoln for several decades. What a twit.
so this is a strange thread. folk mad at a president for calling attention to human trafficking... Something that has a far higher impact on women in the modern period.
I see comments suggesting that the President tweeting seems to them as if he is denying past slavery....
mind blowing.
some facts. there have been periods in history where there were a vastly higher % of the population in slavery. That is true. it is theorized that Ancient Rome reached as high as 40% (could have been higher towards the end).
but It is also 100% accurate to state that there are more people in slavery today, than at any single point in history. That is factual. Slavery in the modern period is a real problem.
We should all be happy the President (any president) is looking at that issue. its terrible that this is the thing we have decided to fight about.
What isn't a lie is the damage being done to the country by liberals, democrats and some republicans in congress who are being manipulated by Russian hysteria. The aggressiveness of nations like Iran, N. Korea, China and Russia are nearly a daily occurrence. Its not because of President Trump they smell weakness. Its the ease at which we are being manipulated and divided by elected leaders for political gains. He is likely the one person who is unpredictable by our adversary's that is keeping them from more aggression because they don't know what he will do or how far he will go.
Butt hurt losers putting our national security at risk and that doesn't take into consideration the leaks.
i see, so after i explained to you why posters repeatedly question and condemn TRump for publicly lying, you reply with "butt hurt" . hmm. pretty homophobic and immature of you Phma, while i generally find your post inane, until now you have mostly remained at least somewhat adult. shame.
Well, there's a subject Heir Trump knows all about as he is being investigated for actually doing the very same thing under the guise of " Trump Model Management" enterprise~~ This has been known for quite awhile.. but NYSA was already looking into that and since has turned over most investigation documents to Mueller .. So now it part and parcel of corruption and collusion with multiple entities during business ventures including "Money Laundering"!! Here's just a few links that some go back in the past few years~~

Interesting. Trump is ok with any illegal acts related to immigration if those involved are models. Lol.
Even Melania modeled here illegally and then somehow acquired a green card by being one of the best models. An Olympic medal model. A Nobel Laureate of models.
Because apparently a little thing called slavery in the US didn't exist for a couple of centuries.
In case anyone was wondering, statements like these are why people have legitimate concerns about Trump's mental competency.
Perspective matters when citing history. What was acceptable behavior at the time v.s today?
In my opinion it is a worse crime today because we have evolved beyond slavery and recognize everyones humanity. To commit those crimes today is far worse than a behavior that may have been acceptable 200 years ago. That isn't to minimize slavery of 200 years ago, but times change.
To commit such acts today is reprehensible.
Another poster just pointed out the difference in population now compared to BC. You all can't have it both ways. Which is it ?
Actually, you can. Looking at the raw numbers really doesn't work, because there are soooo many more people around today than "in the BC times". When you enslave a whole population, like the Israelites were in Egypt, it was a big deal, even if there were fewer actual victims. So, it isn't the "either/or" that you envision.
Ironic since the NYAG is investigating human trafficking of underage girls at Trump's model agency.
Since you have a history of lying and hysterics here could you source your claims please comrade?
We missed you at the secret Russian bot meeting on Tuesday. You were supposed to bring the deviled eggs.
