Blinkyandpinky:
And let’s not even mention the six month ban on Iraqi refugees, carried out by none other than Obama.
Not a peep from liberals then.
And then there’s Obama’s ban on Cuban refugees.
Not a peep from liberals there either.
They are all full of shit.
Nope. Trump specifically requested a ban on Muslims. Not remotely similar.
Per the thread title-can I let 'er rip in Der President’s face?
Yeah, I mean if someone was obsessed about losing the popular vote they would tweet constantly complaining about it and launch investigations based on zero evidence.
Oh wait…

Trump’s order is in keeping with his loathsome, ignorant character. But, I ask you, is there not one pair of gonads in all of Congress??
Paul Ryan :
“and since refugees from war-torn countries have fuck all documentation and any attempt at vetting them would, perforce, involve the very government that’s hostile to them and they’re trying to flee - what I’m saying is, we’re compassionate, but tough shit, brah”
Especially with all those 8×10 color glossy photographs.
Do they have circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of
Are you calling (many) posters on this board deranged morons?

Saw a protestor holding a sign that said “America was build by refugees”. Ask the Native Americans how that turned out for them.
No. Just you. And your orange jackass in chief.
I’m pretty sure that he’s talking about the Man-Child In Chief and all of his retarded fans.
OK, it is clear that you want to be a certifiably branded one, the posters there were pointing at Trump who is the one that has made that a priority when it should had been dismissed as a talking point months ago.
Are you “many posters on this board”, or are you claiming to be their official representative?
He’s certainly a representative example of a deranged moron.

And Andrew Jackson is probably rolling around in his grave at the comparison. Jackson, unlike Trump, was actually pretty competent at administration and leadership of organizations. He did lead a military after all.
And others, not so much… [Interview in WaPo The Fix with Jackson biographer Jon Meacham]
Donald Trump thinks he is the modern Andrew Jackson. Here’s why he isn’t.
FIX: On Thursday at the congressional Republican retreat, Mitch McConnell expressly compared Trump to Andrew Jackson. Do you have any sense on when Jackson became the preferred historical antecedent for Trump?
Meacham: This is pure Stephen K. Bannon, who drew the analogy in November. Others had made the point, of course, but Jackson as the official go-to came then. I talked to Trump in May about history and role models, and Jackson never came up.
FIX: Where are Trump and Jackson similar? And are the similarities on big things or small ones? Differences?
Meacham: The biggest distinction is experience. Jackson came to the presidency as a former judge, general, senator and presidential candidate. Despite his rabble-rousing image — opponents worried Jackson would become an “American Bonaparte” — Jackson was in fact at home in the precincts of power because he’d been around the capital a good deal before becoming president. The other key difference is that Jackson knew how to manage his own weaknesses. He wasn’t always successful at it, but a Jacksonian temper tantrum or threat was often calculated, not unhinged. We don’t yet know whether Trump can pull off the same feat of compensating for — and even leveraging — his hypersensitivity, for instance, and his weakness for hyperbole and chaos. I hope he can do what Jackson did and turn these vices into means for virtuous ends. To me, that’s perhaps the greatest question about Trump and temperament…
So, no. Trump is not comparable to Andrew Jackson, who, it appears was an experienced grown-up when he became President.
Had to guess, I’d put that number at right about ten. Is that “many”?
Why do you ask? Do the opinions of other posters on this board matter so much to you? (Serious question.)
FTR, the *opinions *of deranged morons, here or anywhere, do not matter at all to me. I am interested in facts if and when I come across them. But opinions? No.

I politely demure. And the horse upon in which he rode.

Trump is going full speed ahead to make it so.
You seem to be taking this personally. Maybe it hits a little close to home?
MindsEye_Watering:
Perhaps some other countries could protest and retaliate by banning Americans traveling to their countries for a period of time. Germany, France, England, Brazil?
I wonder what could happen…
Germany kicked Trump grandfather out the country according to this link ,so let not allowed anymore people with the name ‘Trump’ in !
