If there was any doubt as to how Trump decided which countries would be part of the ban and which wouldn’t:

Strangely, we had Democrats selling arms to a number of these places and taking money from them for privilege, and there were no issues with that here from their supporters. Now that Trump is on the map, there are issues all over the place here.

LOL

I don’t recall what I thought about the executive orders, but what I do know is that I didn’t like what he was doing, so I can only imagine that I wasn’t too happy about all of his executive orders.

and yet you’re okay with Trump doing everything via executive order?

Most of the ones he is issuing are things that I think need to be done. He practically undid the Obama legacy in a week, and I;m fine with that.

So it ok a President to do things via executive order instead of going through Congress, as long he/she is doing something you agree with?

Did I ever say that I morally disagree with Obama’s use of executive orders?

That’s what we’ve been trying to get at. If you didn’t disagree with him using executive orders (independent of what those orders were) then that’s fine. Republicans (including ferris, IIRC) screamed bloody murder because Obama was using executive orders, not because of what he was doing with those orders (I mean they bitched about the specifics to but I’m pointing to the fact that they said he was ruling by executive order). And now…silence…despite the fact that Trump is doing it at a rate that will far exceed what Obama done. It’s hypocritical.

This is not a doomsday rant.

OK.

This is a garbage post. Whether anyone agrees with it or not, is most certainly not moot.

When Obama was elected in 2008, it was well known he was going to try to pass health care legislation, did that make moot whether anyone agreed or not?

It did

Doesn’t seem so moot now, there are about to get rid of Obamacare.

and your copying me to get a rise out of me is moot too

You do not speak for me.

^^LOL, you’re funny.

I don’t know where you live and I am sorry you feel the way you do about the circumstances. I would like to see the process streamlined to make it easier for those wanting to start a new life and harder for those only interested in making it worse for everyone except themselves. If you take issue with that, it is your right, but it doesn’t mean what I believe is based on a lie.

I strongly advise you read up on the difficulty of legally immigrating to the US as a refugee or willingly. Try going through the process yourself (not actually, but pretend) and see if you’d be eligible to immigrate to the US.

Here are some links to get you started on the process.

Though I appreciate your faux concern and understand your sarcasm I have a sister-in-law from the Philipines and I know exactly how hard it was for her to get through the process.

😃

It’s not faux concern and it’s not sarcasm, Fo, and frankly, I’m insulted that you jump immediately to that every time anyone wants to have a rational conversation with you.

I’m sorry for your sister-in-law for having to go through that, and I’m also sorry for all the other sisters-in-law trying to immigrate now who will no longer be able to enter the country.

The verbal presentation of your point was misleading. I am sorry if I misunderstood. I’m not used to an awful lot of rational conversation around here.

Don’t you know Ralph Brown is a character played by Ric?

Actually, they are all played by Frink, he just uses Ric as a taudry muse and gives Ralph the paychecks.

Quote from above article …

“This is a stupid, terrible decision which will hurt the American people more than us or anybody else, because it shows that this President can’t manage people, politics or global relationships,” said Najeed Haidari, a Yemeni-American security manager for an oil company in the Yemeni capital Sanaa."

Yet these are the same people who are saying …

“The executive order prompted fury from Arab travelers in the Middle East and North Africa who said it was humiliating and discriminatory. It drew widespread criticism from U.S. Western allies including France and Germany, Arab American groups, human rights organizations.”

Sooooooo, if it hurts Americans more than them, wtf are they complaining about? LOL

So called ‘Anti-Political Correctness’ is being used by some as an excuse to be vile, rude and intolerant often to the most vulnerable people.

Sadly, there is a history here of some doing this as well, at it’s never a positive.
