I'm glad fat housewives in Iowa feel safe now that the ragheads can't blow up the local Walmart.
I also hope they have lifelong nightmares of Syrian kindergartens being immolated by airstrikes.

This is why Ttump needs to fail hard and fast in everything he does. Islamic center set on fire shortly after he signs the Muslim ban.

And surprisingly Chenney says the ban is unamerican.

This is all just devastating news to hear.
It's beyond appalling that our government can so quickly welcome legislation like this with open celebration without thought or empathy to the human rights of hundreds of families and citizens this affects.
My sincere condolences.

Is Trump Narcissus? Damn straight he is. Too bad we can't find a pool for him to look into and turn himself into a flower.

We're very proud of Mayor Walsh right now. Our Republican governor hasn't said anything . . . .
@Monkey:
I thought of Bush as terrible for America and stuff.
Trump meanwhile feels like he is actively destroying America.Never thought I'd see a worse president than Bush Jr. How wrong I was . . . .

It's beginning. Iran to ban Americans. It's an early news story. But man tgis is going down hill fast and it's barely over a week.

Trump won't be able to get anything done they said.
It's been one goddamn week and they've surpassed everyone's expectations, and I was hedging on his administration being literally Satan. -

His own party is becoming more and more conflicted over his actions, and they'd have to be stupid not to know that the Muslim ban will inflame 90% of the country against them.

Walsh showing some spine has definitely raised my opinion of him in the last week. Baker's silence, on the other hand, is indeed deafening. It would nice if he got a good kick in the rear (out the door even) in 2018.

We shall see. Maybe Joe Kennedy III will be encouraged to run.
And I think Mumbles would be very proud of Walsh right now.

Oh, come ON! His ban also affects people who already got their visas and greencards?! What the fuck? Where they even thinking of the consequences? Hopefully those guys who filed lawsuits will get a favorable ruling. Very soon.
But that ban is for 90 days, right? So those with visas and greencards can get back after that? (still shitty, if you had a job or family or anything..damn)And Republicans have no plan for replacing Obamacare after all. Who would have thought?

It doesn't seem like he got any proper guidance at all.

A white businessman violently attacked a 60 year-old Muslim airline employee at a Kennedy Airport lounge, kicking her, shouting obscenities at her, and told her "President Trump is here now and will get rid of all of you," authorities said.

"At the time of his arrest, Rhodes told officers, "I guess I am going to jail for disorderly conduct," Brown said."
That says it all really, that he thinks THAT was the worst part of what he did.
Not, y'know, the hate speech and assault. -

No. Not at all. At all.
Trump's entire administration is built on a foundation of anti-expertise, anti-intellectualism, and alternative facts.

Republicans will allow this as long as they get tax cuts for the rich.

"They" being people who have no idea how our system actually works.

He's not surpassed my expectations; he doesn't really care if this stuff is constitutional or even legal, he said he was going to do it during his campaigns so he's going to do it. If it's struck down, then it doesn't matter since he wasn't really expecting results anyway. This and everything else is about his ego and his ability to brag that he's done what he said he was going to.
-
I think I said in like the first week after the election that muslim ban and wall would happen.
-

Think about what you just wrote. The President of our country and government does not care if his actions are constitutional or legal.
That is horrifying.

So now I guess I know what clenching your brain into a fist feels like, at least.

The cover of the NY Daily News was the Statue of Liberty with a single tear. How frighteningly apt.
-
@Rogues':
That is horrifying.
Well, yeah, but it's nothing new for him. If anybody thought that he really cared about the legality of his actions, that should have went away when his people pretty much shifted to a "If the President does it, it's not a conflict of interest" position on his businesses.

Because apparently they think all undocumented immigrants are mexicans or Isis sleeper agents, along with thinkijg they're reaponsible for most of the crimes being committed here.
They also think they're taking jobs from them that they want. They also seem to think the wall os a better investment and has more practicality than investing in our infrastructure.
In short they're uneducated, entitled, selrish, assholes.

How was a man who made these comments let into power?
"Darkness is good, Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That's power. It only helps us when they (liberals) get it wrong. When they're blind to who we are and what we're doing,"
“I’m a Leninist,” Bannon proudly proclaimed.
Shocked, I asked him what he meant.
“Lenin,” he answered, “wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.”
@Ubiq:"They" being people who have no idea how our system actually works.

This and everything else is about his ego and his ability to brag that he's done what he said he was going to.
Obviously, hence why I argued against them and went for Hillary, I'm just saying that it was a common narrative clearly disproven just by the first week.

The only reason I find this account somewhat credible is because the Calexit pushers have been Putin puppets for a while.

Unilateral secession isn't legal; at best, it'd require that the rest of the states consent. Hard to see them doing that when California leaving would devastate the US economy even without taking into account the damage it'd do to our government by increasing Republican control.
On the other hand, it certainly does fit in with the Fauxgressive trend of throwing everybody else under the bus when you can't get what you want.

@White:

I haven't heard about this. I was born in California, though I haven't been back since I was a toddler. This could only make things worse!
I'd like to think that the GOP backing this thing would hint that Californians are being duped, but I don't know anymore. Everyone seems to want what's worse for them lately.

California should realize the solution isn't to leave, it's to kick shittier states out.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with what they're doing here. Sure, the article gives information on how both sides feel about the immigration ban but there's nothing wrong with that. The article also clearly reads and poses more examples of people being against it than for it. It even calls the praise for it "muted".
-
Karma's a bitch. Worst airport on earth, really.
I don't know what you mean.. the fact that a large amount of people are mobilizing and protesting right now, whether the airport is a good one or not, is awesome. If I were American and I lived in Dallas or NY, I would be there.
