You’re part of the problem, and your “meh I don’t like Hillary so I’m not gonna bother voting for the only candidate who could stop Trump” attitude en masse is exactly why he won. Hope your imagined purity makes you feel better.

Trump seems to prove otherwise. If look at close states, the differences were tight enough if the people like you had showed up and voted against Trump, there would be no President Trump.
I know right? Remember that time under Obama that dozens of people from an arbitrary list of middle-eastern countries that had nothing to do with 9/11 were denied entry and held in airports despite having received prior approval? Remember that time Obama denied a kid from Australia from going to space camp just…
There’s a big difference between pausing refugee approval, and denying entry to people holding valid visa’s and green cards.
If this travel ban had been in place, 9/11 would have still happened. Since the ringleader of the hijackers was an Egyptian national...
Yet potential Saudi terrorists can walk right in because trump would rather protect his buisensses
Technically, the other branches (legislative and judicial) need to have nothing to do with an executive order - it instructs departments in the president’s own executive branch how to interpret laws created by the legislative branch. The federal judicial branch then determines if de facto enforcement of laws is…
Yes, thank you. So many people want think Canada is this peaceful, accepting mecca, but it’s not. We have our own long, ugly history that we’ve yet to reconcile
Yes, thank you. People really are bizarre about Canada. (Also, it’s really hard to immigrate there.)
You forgot to throw in a Hillary Clinton and/or Obama jab. Otherwise spot on :p
Yes, thank you — Canada has never been a terror-free shangri-la, and there are plenty of right-wing assholes and racists there, too. I mean, hello, they had years of Stephen Harper, no? Canadians are not cuddly unicorn people.
Such a tragedy. This is the kind of senseless violence we are trying to avoid in this country. Who knows what might happen to Muslim refugees in America if Mr. Trump hadn’t generously turned them away?
This is still America, the right of protest and to strike is a bedrock principle that has done much to make our nation great. This ineffective order is the beginning of a fight for the future of the republic. The vast majority of these taxi drivers are from Muslim nations and are at increased danger as the racists…
For now. The executive order talks about giving preference to Christians when/if immigration from the banned countries is reinstated, thus paving the way for future more sweeping, more openly religion specific bans. Unconstitutional, of course, but its not like that matters anymore.
Really? Really? They’re inconvenienced an hour. There are families fleeing war. Families seeking a new beginning or joining families already here. And you’re thinking of the poor other people that gotta wait an hour or take a bus/train. Get some fucking perspective.
Buses still worked, Airtrain still worked. Get a friend?
We’re actually having a great traffic month if anyone is curious.
See you tomorrow.
