Great job President Bannon. What a mess this has become.

I had a neighbor I grew up next to as a kid, a couple of doors down, that had converted to Baha’i faith. She gave me a great t-shirt with Baha’i messages on it from all different religions on it, in all different languages. I miss that t-shirt…I wish I still had it. She was such a lovely, open-minded and empathic individual.

Fuck you Trump!

The whole thing is a fucking gong show, but many people will die and many more will suffer economically and emotionally because of it.

Hey GOP Congress, if you don’t like Trump’s crap, PASS SOME DAMN LEGISLATION TO STOP IT! #ArticleOne

I don’t think you can blame Austria for this one. In the span of one week, Trump has turned and already chilly world immigrant climate into an arctic deep freeze.

And this was just week 1.

Yeah I can.

:wink:

The US economy cannot grow without immigrants. They are how our population increases. Our birthrate matches our death rate. Immigrants are our growth. We have a consumer economy. It grows as our population grows.

Trump’s refusal of immigrants will kill any hope he has of keeping the economy growing.

Better still, start impeachment proceedings.

This is what happens when you have a racist, fucking bigot and xenophobe for President, who thinks being a real estate developer and landlord is some kind of plus for the rest of us. He thinks every square inch of US soil and property is now all his, to determine who gets to live here, and who doesn’t. Its absolutely shameful. Who the fuck stepped down and made him G-d?

Yeah, come to America and buy more disposable shit - help us fill the oceans with garbage and the atmosphere with CO2. More people, more people, rah rah rah.

Is that REALLY the best reason you have for allowing immigration? Nothing about the intellectual benefits of diversity? Nothing about plain old compassion and humanity?

This is not just a Trump thing, it is a right wing wet dream come true.

Every. Republican. MUST. Own. This.

It’s the one reason he might understand. I’m only pointing out his programs are fundamentally at odds with each other.

And every media company that defends those GOP fuckers in Congress that support that dumpster fire in the White House, must be excoriated too!

There’s the moral argument and the practical argument. Both are important, but the latter is more effective because it shows how concretely counterproductive this is for ALL Americans. You can be an asshole (like most of Trump’s economic advisors) and still not want PotUS squeezing your wallet for his fantasies.

Addendum: Holy crap, the protest at JFK is huge. There might be weekly massive demonstrations until Trump resigns or is forced from office.
