Trump campaigned on banning Muslims and called it as such. He gave an interview about giving preferentially status to Christian refugees. His executive order only applies to Muslim-majority countries. You don’t think this is a ban on Muslims? If there was any hope that it would be constitutional, Trump would have

I spent the weekend in horror, rage, shame and yes pride. If my government disgusts me, my fellow citizens (well most of them) fill me with hope.

I’d start by disowning any friends and family you have who have ever voted Republican

What if he imagines a slight from Pakistan or India? I feel like we should be posting this stuff around a campfire.

This man is bound to crack soon, right? He can only focus on perceived slights. His all-consuming need for revenge is bound to backfire soon enough. (Or so I have to tell myself in order to keep calm and carry on.)

The Dutch are low-key heroes. They’re pretty committed to being anti-Trump across the board at the moment, whether in politics or entertainment.

... And this godforsaken buffoon was somehow preferable to a woman who had been in public service her entire life because ...emails.

Jew, reporting in! Guess who has two thumbs, a futon, and endless empathy for a refugee narrative? *this mensch*

The churches are now going to have to become literal refuges, again. I know the Catholics are ready, now everyone else has to get their asses in gear.

You lost me here.

Brown’s offensive reference to the wrong ethnic origin goes nicely with Ansari’s joke about people telling him to “go back to...the country you’re from!”. His follow up is that the racists tend to not be geography buffs.

Aziz’s bit about G.W. Bush in his opening monologue cracked me up. “What the hell has happened? I’m sitting here wistfully watching old George W. Bush speeches? Just sitting there- ‘What a leader he was!’ 16 years ago I was certain this dude was a dildo, now I’m sitting there like ‘He guided us with his eloquence!’”

Never trust someone who uses the phrase “trust me”.

i knew that he wouldn’t do it, because he said that he would.

Trump doesn’t want to be President. In about two weeks, everyone will be so fucking pissed at him that he’ll just walk away from it all, stating that he’ll “continue to fight for you”.....just not as President. Mike Penis will take over, not do anything, and be soundly defeated in 2020.

Seems like a good idea to me.

How nice would it have been to have woken up today with an alternative President instead?

Meanwhile, Kellyanne Conway is busy calling Spicer’s press conference lies “alternative facts”.
