can we find some super attractive refugees? i think it might be the only way to get through to president fuckhead

Scared. Desperate. Angry.

Those reasons don't fly. They are no excuse for stupidity. Acting impetuously on emotions is the clinical definition of immaturity. It's not like this had to be a split-second decision. Folks had months to ingest the information and act properly.

So in essence the voters are reflecting the horrible immaturity of their beneficiary. The adults are few and far in between- heck, almost nonexistent- in the ruling party.

Because it's not a Muslim ban. Cross my heart and hope to die, it's got nothing to do with religion. Trump says Christians should get preference? Don't take him so literally.

that's the thing: the court order doesn't shut down the EO for further action. It's pretty narrowly focused on people immediately affected on the ground in the US.

But as warzawa's noted, there's plenty in it to draw additional legal action to shitcan the entire thing. Dragging it out is bad for detainees & people otherwise qualified to enter US, but good for pulling drumpfco's asshole up over its head

hoping there are newscams pointed at the doors of McConnell, Ryan, and any other R 'leaders' around the clock for the next few days. They really need to emit some squeaks of their former high indignation about sanctity of the Constitution etc

no no no. SHE was an alien who worked here illegally; she wasn't an illegal immigrant. Let's try to keep our facts straight

Been too disheartened and angry to even click on this thread the last couple of days. This is such a complete embarrassment. And it sucks to just feel so helpless watching this fucktwat and his horrible little toadies go about fucking up the world and not be able to do anything about it.

here's a regular ray of sunshine:

Senator Jeff Flake, R-AZ wrote:"President Trump and his administration are right to be concerned about national security, but it’s unacceptable when even legal permanent residents are being detained or turned away at airports and ports of entry,"

Flake, up for re-election next year, is shitting a brick the size of Tucson over this millstone tied around his neck - in ARIZONA

Clever boy Ben Sasse, hoping to be the fresh young sane face of the R mob, tries to have it both ways:

Senator Ben Sasse, R-NE wrote:There are two ways to lose our generational battle against jihadism by losing touch with reality. The first is to keep pretending that jihadi terrorism has no connection to Islam or to certain countries. That’s been a disaster....And here's the second way to fail: If we send a signal to the Middle East that the U.S. sees all Muslims as jihadis, the terrorist recruiters win by telling kids that America is banning Muslims and that this is America versus one religion. Both approaches are wrong, and both will make us less safe. Our generational fight against jihadism requires wisdom.

He conveniently neglects to underscore that drumpfco's ham-handed application of the last "wrong" and "less safe" and "unwise" and "out of touch with reality" approach, going on right now, is the whole reason he's writing up this little asscover in the 1st place.

trotting out bagman Wretch Priebus to defend policy of any kind, much less this particular boner, is the height of tactical idiocy, mainly because he's an idiot. He tells you what time it is, you check your own watch

by **Bucky** » Sun Jan 29, 2017 13:06:16

YUGE strawman in there. Who the @#$% ever said that Jihadism has "no connection" to Islam or to certain countries????

by **JFLNYC** » Sun Jan 29, 2017 13:12:44

Rob Portman on CNN just said this was an extreme vetting program which wasn't properly vetted. Good for him.

good for the OH constituents that I'm assuming have swarmed all over him over this shit. Now put your votes where your mumble mouths are, senators.

Shouldn't Pompeo and the Jt. Chiefs say something like "I cannot do my job effectively if I am not on the NSC, and therefore I tender my resignation."

I mean, if they're actually patriots.

by **CalvinBall** » Sun Jan 29, 2017 13:28:16

Spicer said it was a small inconvenience for a few people. Yet, national background check for guns is too much of an inconvenience I guess.

It's the old dilemma: Trump will tell them if they don't want this job he'll find someone who does. Under those circumstances even a principled person might decide to stay and do their best rather than cede the job to someone with even less scruples.
