    "The bad would rush into our country during that week."
    So our President has decided to run the country on pure conjecture. What a swell guy.

    And he kept it hidden from people who actually have knowledge about their jobs who could've given inout on the legality of his plan.

    I always find it so interesting that americans that hate when non-americans criticize, or even just discuss, american foreign policy issues, which, like it or not, effect the globe, seem to be the first to defend their government's right to get involved in all the world's business.

    So here's my train of thought. My grandpa's family moved to the United States from Germany in 1925 with my grandfather in the womb. Now, we're talking like 6 or 7 years after WWI where a main member of the alliance of the other side was...shocker, the German Empire. Germany was very unstable after the war and that lead to the unfortunate rise of Hitler.

    Now, let's put that very situation into place but with Donald Trump as the President. You're coming off the largest war in modern history, the new Germany is terribly unstable with a rise in extremism and facists...would he ban Germans from coming into the United States who are fleeing from a country in ruins?

    I'm thinking he would probably align himself with the fascists, join the third reich.

    The rumor is that Trump intends to roll back an executive order put in place by President Obama which prohibited federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation, and perhaps go even further to allow a broader range of discrimination against LGBT people based on ‘religious freedom’.

    Sounds like something Pence would do. Between Bannon and Pence we're in for a hell of a ride. Fuck them both, and fuck the orange tyrant. It is going to be a long 4 years whether the fat orange guy lives that long or not.
    (BTW, whether he lives or not was not a reference to violence. I think he looks as unhealthy as I've ever seen him, and the stress will continue to pile on. I think he's going to die of natural causes before anyone could ever plot something).

    I think he just likes to be a headline everyday so he spaces everything out.

    Tomorrow night tune in for my big announcement on the supreme court!

    It's a hopeless situation...

    Read federal funding for adoption agencies may be impacted. Two of our best friends have 2 beautiful daughters and couldn't be better parents. This is all so sad

    Just can't stop thinking of this..............


    First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Socialist.
    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    Yup. We definitely need to keep this in mind and stay vigilant.

    You're thinking of this wrong. It's pro religious freedom....and throw in pro business too.

    We should have all knew this was coming.

    Had a heads up on this one several weeks ago. This is one Pence wants for sure.

    a homophobe is such because that person is afraid he will not be able to control his impulses around a openly gay person.
