What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

Are you seriously going with that picture for your avatar?

The Front National? Are you fucking serious?

Ed thinks he's edgy.  He lives in Ohio.  He needs this.

Oh I wasn't mad. More dumbfounded, since most of us grow out of this puerile stuff somewhere in the early teens.

He thinks he's funny, the poor thing

I think Ed is very brave to make his principled stand in support of the regeneration of France here on languish.

[Eddie Teach]

Of course you say that, you're his sock.

How many foreign wives and kids does Ed have!?

Real or imaginary?

This week's cover of the New Yorker:

I don't understand Trump's new ban. Like why won't it get a TRO on it like the others? Just because it clarifies that green card holders aren't blocked?

[celedhring]

AFAIK he also has removed the provisions favoring non-Muslim minorities when granting refugee status which were the most likely to be considered a religious test.

Well it softens off the most egregious flaws from the old ban.  It exempts those with green cards.  It deletes Iraq (and the thousands of Iraqis who fought alongside US troops).  It gives a 10 day delay so people aren't caught mid-flight.  It attempted to give some "evidence" for the need for a ban.  It no longer favours Christian refugees.

Whether that'll be enough?  I dunno.

even through they could use some favour...

Trump needs to argue that this isn't a "Muslim ban".  By banning refugees from 6 majority-muslim countries, but specifically letting in "religious minorities" from those countries, it didn't look good.

I hope Trump melts Tim's computer.

Is that all it takes to trigger you?

yeah, he should have called it a "worst-off-minorities-fasttrack-to-safety-program"

It wouldn't look so bad under scrutiny if he tossed in some other countries in for flavor and variety, like Borneo or Macedonia, just so it didn't look so obvious.

You'd jump all over that, just the same.  WE'RE NOT FOOLED MISTER TRUMP
