Maybe we should start thinking about plan B….

Anyone interested in pooling financial resources together? Worst comes to worst, we can turn it into a really cool man cave….

just kidding… sort of.

A better plan: join the ACLU. They are going to need some help!

You know, maybe one good thing to come out of this is demonstration that our government, though far from perfect, may actually work….

Spineless jellyfish of a judge didn’t go far enough — she still allowed detention of green-card holders, just not actual deportation.

I also note that Fox News put out an opinion piece that did not agree with him. It pointed out that this is another in a long line of bad decisions by presidents along this line.

On the same front page was a link describing how Republicans should act in this new environment. I think they know full well there will be po-lenty of things done by this President that they, who voted for him and gave him a platform, don’t support.

Which flows into my last point: I think this flurry of executive orders shows that he knows he won’t be getting the support of even his own party on many issues in Congress.

it’s interesting how much power the prez has with executive orders….

Trump is recycling the Democrats’ protectionism of the 1970s and mixing in populist right wing xenophobia. Small minded views of people who are afraid of the future.

Not a conservative free market approach. Not the values of liberal democracies.

Canada is looking pretty good. Justin Trudeau is my kind of leader. Young, smart, dynamic, open minded with an international outlook.

Oh come on, do tell 🙂 I won’t get mad. I’m, say, indifferent at this point.

Looks like acting AG just weighed in saying travel ban is unlawful…

We’re going to have a gridlock government over the next 4 years. This means it should be great for all of us that want government to leave us alone 🙂

In this past weekend, the ACLU took in SIX TIMES as much as it does in a typical year!!

In a year, it typically gets $4M online.

Last weekend, over $24M was given.

Awesome!

yeah, i found it funny that some of of the folks on twitter were saying things like “defund the ACLU”……lol…

And there there were a bunch of folks spreading the FAKE NEWS that the Quebec City mosque shooting was done by two refugees yesterday too…

I just think this entire thing is so surreal, it’s almost comical if it weren’t for the fact that real people are being impacted by this…..

I certainly agree. I want to laugh but I just can’t…what is happening is too painful.

I’ll be okay, but that’s not the point at all. There are people who have made long term plans, toiled for countless hours, who are going to see that effort marginalized if not destroyed completely. And splitting families up – it just crushes me.
