His latest is that the major civil rights issue facing our country today is "transgender rights," specifically as it relates to biological men being able to compete against women in athletic competitions.

Trump travel ban: What does this ruling mean?

The only people that nickname it the "Muslim Travel Ban" are those trying to manipulate the public-or that are too ignorant to know that it only impacts a handful of countries known to support terrorism-and applies to all citizens from those countries, not just Islamists. But heck-ignorant or lying-either describes Bernie.

The real question is just why does he want to put the lives of American citizens at risk?

It was never a Muslim ban. It was a ban on a handful of countries where the identity of people was hard to determine and thus had more potential security risks. There are approximately 49 to 50 Muslim majority countries and most of them do not show up on the "Muslim Ban" list. It was a term coined by the hair on fire crowd that hates Trump and will use any excuse to make him look bad.

Nah. Trump doesn't need any help to "make him look bad" - he does a fine job of doing that all on his own with his undisciplined propensity to shoot off his mouth and addiction to Twitter.

This is what happens when a right-winger tries to reason. Right-wing logic: If a team wins 4 out of 7 games in the World Series, they are not champion because they didn't win every single game.

.
So you are saying it is not a Muslim ban?

Both statements can be true at the same time. I've never defended Trump on his how he runs his mouth off and how he seems like he's got OCD with the Twitter postings.

It is nicknamed that to portray it as something it is not. To make it easier to call the president a bigot.

Well, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's a pretty good chance it is a duck.
