monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Guys. We really ought to note that tonite's win came from the work of the ACLU. We continue to owe this essential institution our support.

This conservative lady ain't ******* around

That, I'd love to see! Somebody has to do something to stop tyrant Trump.

So you're saying he can't read so good, that it? Aint nuthin in what you quoted which says what Yurp said, eh? Maybe you don't read so good, neither, eh?

Yurp said:

There is no "ban" on travel. This certainly suggests they can leave and come back.



But does that mean we're not gunna be watchin muslims who want to fly to Iran, pick-up a suitcase nuke, and head straight back?

I don't think so!

Homey don't play dat.

This suggests that they will have to meet with a consular officer before leaving the country.

It doesn't say that they can come back.

I seem to have missed it. What win for the good guys happened today?

The last gasps of a dying ideology.

Oh well. The sooner we forget about the demented liberals, the sooner we can get on with moving America into the 21st century.

This happened today:

Judge stays deportations; Trump order barring refugees, migrants from Muslim countries triggers chaos, outrage

Good. Trump thinks he can run our country like a king. He's going to learn quickly that the legal community in this country is going to fight this bigot all the way to the Supreme Court.

I think he's referring to this:

Bit of a longer excerpt:

I hope that's the guarantee for Trump as a one term president. That's if he doesn't get impeached first - which I hope for this country and the world.

Exactly. It doesn't say they CAN'T come back, as you asserted. If the rule was that they just "can't come back," then there would be no reason whatsoever for them to "meet" with anybody. If they're going to Iran to pick up a suitcase nuke, then, of course, they can't come back, but.....

You have a unique way of trying to "prove" your false assertions, eh? It doesn't say there that Trump ISN'T Adolph Hitler's twin, so.....

"Suitcase nuke?" LMAO.

When you have a supposedly "loyal american," like Kahn, who is a muslim with inside access to mosques, and ****, telling you that this order is going to piss off muslims in America to the extent that the security of the country is endangered, then maybe you should listen, eh, cheese-eaters?

His message is "You better not piss off muslims. The ones here are already angry. You don't want to make them even MORE angry, so you better keep them coming in."

Trump's response is--"Every pissed off muslim who wants to threaten our security is DEAD."

@ old europe, oralloy:
Thanks. Now I'm up to date.

The Republicans are going to hold the White House for the next 20 years. And Mr. Trump will serve two full terms at the start of that.

I haven't dived into all the details but it appears as if the administration in rushing to have the EO signed and announced in Trump's first week on the job didn't think through all of the possibilities. There is a provision for case by case exceptions though, so after an unpleasant experience with the bureaucrats, the folks like the Iraqi translator who worked with our troops will likely have their dilemmas resolved.

There has been a lot of what seems to me to be misinformation flying around about Muslims residing legally with the US being deported. Correct me if I'm wrong but the stay obtained by the ACLU related only to those individuals who arrived in the US after the EO was signed. I've no idea how many people we're talking about but unless there was some massive exodus from the affected countries once word of the EO got out, there can't be a whole lot of them.

Does anyone have any credible evidence that the government is currently (or plans to) rounding up Muslim immigrants legally residing in this country and deporting them? Someone sure has convinced the Muslim immigrants I saw on TV today angrily demanding that they not be deported. (And I am not referring to those detained in airports. They at least have the good sense not to piss of the authorities who are deciding their fate)

I know I'm a major xenophobe with a minor in Islamaphobia, but it doesn't seem very prudent (not to mention polite) of guests in our country to angrily demand anything of our government. I'm not sure where anyone gets the notion that they have a right to live anywhere they please. I'm not suggesting they be deported and certainly don't expect them to beg to stay, but they're not winning any converts to their cause with an attitude of entitlement that's obnoxious even for citizens. It's the sort of behavior one would expect of an Ugly American!

I agree that its shabby treatment of people who helped us in Iraq, but I can't imagine that they are considered "refugees" and in danger of being returned to their country. Iraq hasn't fallen to ISIS or Iran just yet.

Describing this as a chaotic disaster is just more politically motivated hyperbole. NYC congresspersons were probably quite thankful for it. A bunch of them rushed to JFK to stand should to shoulder with the detainees...in front of the TV cameras...and provide them with "support" and Trump with a lambasting.

At some point all the hyper-drama that accompanies every word and deed of the new president is going to wear on folks who haven't taken much of a stand on these issues. Of course its found to be just wonderful to all the would-be resistance fighters, but it's only solidifying support for Trump among those who voted for him.

You don't read much do you. Trump's approval rating is one of the lowest in history after being elected president.
Trump's approval rating is now sitting at 36%.

tRump declared bankruptcy 6 times and in the first one lost 900 million dollars which he declared on his income taxes for 20 or so years. That means that we the taxpayers supported his bankruptcy for that 20 years. I cant find anything about his other 5 bankruptcies because he wont release his tax forms. I wonder why the crooked con man wont release his tax statement? Could it be he foisted the money he lost on them on us taxpayers. Has he paid ANY taxes for the last 20 or so years?
