Try cheap baseball hats with meaningless sound-bites on them, seems to be an easy boozle.

And stop having double standards. You were perfectly okay with Obama bypassing congress and dictating amnesty (of sorts) and work permits for so-called "DREAMers". Meanwhile, law-abiding foreign students were expected to obey the law if they wanted to go to college here.

If in your fevered imagination, you think Trump is a fascist, you are free to move to another country that's more to your liking.
When the talk is regarding a national registry for Muslims, yes, fascism is exactly what we're talking about. And no, I am not moving because an authoritarian/fascist has been elected president of my country. I intend to stay right here along with all the rest of Americans who don't want to see this country fall to fascism. We will be fighting back with all the tools at our disposal, including the ACLU. Sorry, princess, but we're here to stay.

Yes. Here's one instance. There have been others.

I agree with most of the complaints but whether or not Planned Parenthood is funded or not is not their concern.

You seem to forget NSEERS:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation...tration_System

and this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern...nese_Americans


The former was done by a republican. The latter was done by a democrat.

When the former was enacted, many Muslims who were here illegally, left the country. No one was rounded up and taken to internment camps. No one had their financial assets taken from them.

When the latter was enacted, many Japanese-Americans were determined to show their loyalty to this country and volunteered to serve during WWII---and they served with dignity and bravery. What was done to them by this country was wrong on so many levels.

So, how do you propose that Islamic terrorists are weeded out of the general population? And are you in favor of letting in Muslims without proper vetting? What is YOUR solution?

Again, stop being such a drama queen, "princess".

Cry harder if it helps, snowflake.

P.S., I made a donation for you, and used your C-D ID as the donor name. Hope you don't mind.

There you go.

I don't want Trump to operate above the law like the Clintons.
He already is operating above the law, but do continue with the hypocrisy. It's what right wingers are best at.

They are preparing to fight attempts made by Donald Trump to ban Muslims, to track Amercian Muslims, to do mass deportations, to reinstitute “stop and frisk,” defund Planned Parenthood, etc. It’s a long list.
Let's see how they do with the soon to be new and improved Supreme Court. I hope Trump picks the youngest judges on his list.
