This is 100% Trump and Bannon overthrowing the democratic government to install dictatorial rule.

Just repeating what I said at the first article on the subject (the firing of Yates), because still pertinent:
Exactly as MLK warned us about in “Letter from A Birmingham Jail”: “I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice;…
I’m a Proud Southern Conservative White Guy(TM), but f*ck stereotypes all around. I just wrote my Congresspeople (all Republicans) urging them to stall Trump as much as possible, if not outright oppose him. If you want to reform immigration, great! But if you want to be an authoritarian asshole to everyone as part of…
Two observations; (1) You guys are in the middle of a coup. Bannon is a coup-maker, waving Donald’s scandals around like a stage magician to misdirect attention. (2) They always knew this ban won’t stand. This is to induce protest-fatigue; that’s why they started right away, and are keeping the pressure up.
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?
Me: He’s actually banning people based on religion, holy fuck!
Trumpers: It’s not based on religion, it’s only 7 countries full of terrorists. Remember 9/11?
Me: The guys that did 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan. No one from those countries are subject to the ban.
Trumpers: 9/11 was 15 years ago, what…
Let’s hope that at least this stops all those op-eds from cowardly liberals who keep talking how I just need to have dialogue with the other side. The other side advocates for my genocide and now one of their own is on the National Security Council and sentencing people who are fleeing war to death.
I know it’s probably a bit early, but does anyone think these two shit heads are actually gonna give up power peacefully when they lose the next election? I really don’t see it happening.
History lesson: Remember how during WW2 the United States turned away thousands of Jewish refugees? Yea, let’s not do that again.
I see you’ve met my grandmother.
It’s pretty clear that tRump lost the public vote and the majority of butthurt voters were not in the few critical states - that was mainly managed via long term political gerrymandering of congressional districts and the ‘winner takes all’ system of elctoral assignment in many states. Much as it’s a lovely,…
Not to mention Bernie going out many times imploring his supporters to turn their attention to supporting Hillary and explicitly saying why they shouldn’t offer support or encouragment to Trump.
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.
Well fine, fuck all the Hillary supporters who did no vote the best candidate to beat trump in during the primaries! How bout that! Hillary was the single most flawed candidate ever put forward....aside from Trump...meanwhile Bernie was well liked on both sides...gee...guess we should ram through Hillary because it…
As a Bernie supporter that was realistic enough to vote for Hillary “just in case” (even though I live in California and there was basically no way it would matter here): yeah, keep pushing the DNC line about how Bernie and Stein supporters fucked all of us. They were definitely the *real* problem. /s
