Of course they did, I certainly did. Your conclusion is correct.

Check out my thread on this forum that I made more than a year ago, about Islam vs the West.

I laid it all out there, including Trump’s victory and the Muslim ban too.

Trump is a man of his word, and good for him!

I am extremely delighted by his amazing Presidency so far.

And can you believe that it’s only been 1 week so far?

There are 103 more weeks to go! I am going to keep an adequate stockpile of popcorn around, because there is so much more awesomeness that I have to look forward to.🙂

Maybe I’m a Pollyanna, but I truly believe that over the long term progressivism will win out and there will be a lot of people who will find themselves on the wrong side of history on this one (some nutless democrats as well).

Paul Ryan will be one of those people.

We’re not, and we don’t. This is a strawman that has nothing to do with Trump’s order.

Are you deliberately being obtuse in an attempt to make a point?

No, he’s simply making a kneejerk response without the least idea of what he’s talking about.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security told Reuters on Saturday morning that the President’s executive order will, in fact, stop green card holders from seven countries from returning to the United States if they travel abroad. “It will bar green card holders,” the spokeswoman said.

A sane Federal judge just told T— to shove his executive order up his fucking ass. (Not in so many words). At least now I can sleep a little better tonight (after throwing some stinky rotten popcorn back in you-know-who’s face).

I was appalled by the first news of those being denied flights and those detained in the US itself. I am cautiously cheered by the Fed judge overruling the order.

(And for those who want to chime in that Australia’s immigration policies are not exactly the most humanitarian in the world, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU)

Error on my part.

I mean of course that there are 415 more weeks to go (two four year terms for President Trump).
