Apparently, Trump has managed to piss off the world and crushed the dreams of Syrian refugees.

Should we give a shit? I vote: Hell no.

Iran quickly responded by signing an order to not allow American travelers into Iran...immediate thought -- who the F ever wants to go to Iran? They get a nice ole GFY on that one.

So now the terrorists will come out of Saudi Arabia and get here. He's just making things worse by pissing the real assholes off and hurting others. This should go over real well.

Another monument we can kick into the water.

I think it is silly. It could just make them want to kill us more I guess (if that is possible). I don't think it will actually stop any terrorists from doing awful things. Don't really care much about it overall though.

We have too many of our own citizens who fit this description to worry about at the moment.

We had "too many" of them when that statue was erected, too, relative to that time. It's always like that. In fact, at the time it was erected, the influx of immigrants was FAR more than it is now.

Tear it down and throw it away if you can't honor what it stands for.

No, we didn't, because back then, everyone fended for themselves so it was no burden.

Just shut the fuk up if you are going to be a self righteous prick

I thought you wanted us to stay out of other countries affairs and let them handle things themselves.

He is banning people who live here already but had the misfortune of visiting family prior to his signing the order. You people have no idea what this is doing to people who love this country but fall into his little category of a possible threat. smdh

Here's an example from a very kind, beautiful woman who now cannot come back.

I normally don't write long posts or any kind of political or religious comments.
I apologize in advance and I don't expect my friends to read this long long past!!
But today I just couldn't hold it any longer. Friday 1/20/17 started like any other normal day. I was excited about my trip to Tehran. After all I only get to visit them once a year. I was excited and anxious at the same time. I was worried about my little puppy but I couldn't wait to see my mom...
It was an uneventful trip. I made him home on Monday 1/22/17, after around 28 hours, exhausted but so so happy. We were all happy. I was going to eat lots of delicious Persian food and make tons of great memories and go back to my life in the US. But the happiness didn't last that long. On Wednesday, we started hearing rumors about new executive orders that will change immigration rules for some countries including Iran. Soon we started reading drafts like everyone else. I might be banned from going back?!?! No that can't be true. I'm not gonna let that ruin my trip. But then it got serious so fast. Before I knew it, it was actually happening. Even though I didn't want to leave my family, I quickly booked a ticket to get on the next flight back. Only a few hours after the order was signed, I got to the airport, got on a plane and made it to Dubai. After waiting in the line to get my documents checked and after 40 minutes of questions and answers, I boarded the plane to Washington, only to have two TSA officers getting in and ask me to disembark the plane!!! Yes after almost 7 years of living the the United States, I got deported!!!
No one warned me when I was leaving, no one cared what will happen to my dog or my job or my life there. No one told me what I should do with my car that is still parked at the airport parking. Or what to do with my house and all my belongings.
They didn't say it with words but with their actions, that my life doesn't matter. Everything I worked for all these years doesn't matter.
I just had to say it...

Awww, do you need a kiss?

Everyone fended for themselves? You mean less "government assistance?" So what? You still had more people than the system could support... allegedly. Just like now...allegedly.

I'm not being self-righteous at all. I'm just calling-you-out on your fvcked-up attitude because you're chained to a piece-of-shit human being for a president. Own it. It's interesting how he has no issue with people from the countries that have citizens who have harmed us to continue with the door being wide open.

And furthermore, I was talking about taking military out of those countries and leaving them alone.

If you guys think we need to be there then you go!!

You can leave anytime. Start with this board and see where it takes you.

Sure did. When a liberal loses a debate they always resort to name calling because they have no depth. Thanks for playing.

Name-calling? I said you are choosing to be ignorant... which you openly displayed. "No way I'm reading that..." ... that's choosing to be ignorant. Now, if I wanted to resort to name-calling, I would have said "So, remain an ignorant fool. You're a moron for choosing to remain ignorant." All I said was you were choosing to be ignorant... because you are. I wasn't name-calling. Ignorant is not a pejorative in the context I used it.

Okay... I can handle being obtuse. If I'd called you "obtuse", you'd claim I was name-calling.

It's not really any of your business, but I have multiple medical conditions that prevents me from joining the military. Once again, you make a stupid assumption about someone on this board and it backfires on you. Are you ever going to learn your lesson?

Well, it's the truth.

Choosing to be ignorant is your choice. Me pointing-it-out isn't name-calling at all.
Click to expand...
He's probably one of those people that thinks ignorant means stupid, thus calling him a wittle name :( boohoo.

I knew they'd react this way and I knew exactly which ones would. They don't want to face who they really are.

And to the one that called me racist....seriously??? Are YOU stupid??

No I didn't make any assumptions. I made a suggestion. Learn the difference. I do believe that even if you didn't have a medical condition you still wouldn't go. ( that is an assumption btw).

You really are something else. When @UNC71-00 laid into you a few months ago I actually felt bad for you, but I'm starting to think he may have been right.
