Donald Trump Calls for Barring Muslims From Entering U.S.

[crazy canuck]

If this is history repeating itself as farce when was the tragedy?

Spain's expulsion of the Muslims.  That is an event worthy of mentioning Grumbler is old enough to have witnessed.

And it's all Trump, all the time on CNN.  Let's see what's the latest pressing story about the Donald is:

J.K. Rowling says Trump is worse than Voldemort

(CNN)Donald Trump, who stood by his call for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" Tuesday on CNN's "New Day," is facing a firestorm from Democrats, Muslim Americans and a wide range of Republicans — from Dick Cheney to Marco Rubio.

But one of Trump's latest critics, "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, may have some of the harshest words yet for the Republican front-runner's controversial policy proposal.

"How horrible," tweeted Rowling, along with a BBC report on Trump's call to ban Muslims. "Voldemort was nowhere near as bad," she added.

And fans of the fantasy novels know just how serious a comparison to the "Dark Lord" is.

Voldemort is the central villain in the series and considered to be the most powerful "Dark Wizard" of all time.

And Rowling, who is no stranger to political commentary, received a wave of support from "Harry Potter" fans around the world, calling her "queen."

Meanwhile, Trump says his call for a ban is only "temporary" until "the country's representatives can figure out what's going on."

That's too extreme for me; I was hoping for a candidate closer to Moriarty or maybe Fu Manchu on the scale of villainy.

Indeed.

That just happened!

Grumbler is old enough to have first hand knowledge that humans did not evolve until after velicoraptors were extinct.

I've been to the creationist musuem. YOU ARE WRONG.

If they didn't have a Grumbler exhibit the historical accuracy is wanting.

Now the more moderate alternative:

But is he worse than, say, Sauron or Emperor Palpatine?
