    May protest tomorrow after church

    Rumors circulating that about 50 are being detained at DFW. No hard facts, though.

    If true, I wonder how many interpreters who put their ass on the line for you Trump supporters are among them.

    If you were an Iraqi and you assisted the US, which Isis infiltrated nation would you travel to?
    The year's at the spring
    And day's at the morn;
    Morning's at seven;
    The hill-side's dew-pearled;
    The lark's on the wing;
    The snail's on the thorn:
    God's in his heaven—
    All's right with the world!

            It's nice that you are actually getting up and doing something rather than just trolling around here.

            If you do protest, remember that you are in Texas and try not to get too far out of line or you might wind up getting seriously fucked up.

                I don't think that's going to buy you much when you are getting your ass whipped by someone that you've vexed at the protest. Let's face it, that has the potential for being a fairly sizeable pool of folks.

                  You should know by now I don't fight fair.

                  But I will let you know. Looks like it is on.

                        Well, here's a quick story on one of them, and no doubt there are dozens more.

                        I guess we can expect four long, miserable years of this ham fisted asshattery from a guy who shoots first and doesn't have the brains god gave a snail to ask questions later.

                          Contrary to the headline in your link, and the screams on my Facebook page, this is not a ban, as in permanent. But the howling is so intense there is no space for discussion.

                          This is interesting:

                          Epic – Is Team Trump Baiting Liberal Media and Refugee Protesters By Using Obama’s Own Policy?…
                          The limiting Visa program was President Obama’s action, not President Trump.
                          President Trump is not suspending visas from countries his team selected, they are simply suspending visa approval from countries President Obama selected. Additionally, Trump is suspending ALL visa applications from those countries – nothing to do with Muslim applications.

                          • In 2013 President Obama suspended refugees from Iraq for six months. • In 2015 Congress passed, and Obama signed, a law restricting visas from states of concern; • and in 2016 Obama’s DHS, Jeh Johnson, expanded those restrictions. …. all President Trump is doing is taking the same action as Obama 2013, and applying Visa restrictions to the nation states Obama selected in 2015 and 2016.
                          President Trump is carrying out an executive action in support of the US Customs and Border Protection Act of 2015, which relates to “the Visa Waiver Program and Terrorist Travel Protection Act of 2015“. President Trump did not select seven countries – the US Congress and Obama’s Department of Homeland Security had singled out these countries.

                          Nowhere in President Trump’s executive order does he single out any country for VISA suspension. Instead what his XO does is say he’s suspending visa approvals from countries already outlined by the Obama administration as representing a specific threat such that they were categorized for extreme visa vetting by: 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12)
                          People have said often that what "cracking down" means is, enforcing laws already on the books. (You hear that often about gun control, too.)

                          The left has ratcheted this up to being the protest against nascent Nazism, complete with pictures of tattooed arms of Holocaust survivors, and posters with slogans such as this one, Remember sitting in history, thinking "If I was alive then, I would've..." You're alive now. Whatever you're doing is what you would've done.

                          The moral imperative. To recall one of Al Gore's more memorable bon mots about climate change, "The time for debate is over!"

                              I just cannot get enough of the look on her face when he just ruins everything that they claim to have been protesting with three words.

                              Hilarious!
                              It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
                              In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
                              Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
