    Hate begets hate. It's that simple. BTW, YF, six Syrian refugees with visas were sent back from Philadelphia International today. They were Christians.

    I've found myself referencing 1 Timothy 3 a lot.

    But Saudis and Engyptians and Turks who wear burkas ... you guys are cool. Trump says so.

    That's another one of my fears. That's it's not gonna expire in four months. Drumpf will find a way to extend the order, much like "temporary" taxes are extended. And what about those who want to visit the U.S. after the deadline? Do they just get rubber-stamped in?

    Well, they can afford to stay at Trump properties.

    The first lawsuit filed is in Eastern District of New York. Then it goes to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, the Tom Brady court, and then to the Supremes. Since plaintiffs have a most reasonable case they are suffering direct harm, I expect that the process will be faster than normal. If Trump loses, I genuinely wonder what would come next.

    ISIS, by every credible account, is dwindling. Now this a new motivation and a recruiting tool. They want a holy war. And going against our values, Trump provides one.

    And save your breath. I know you hate Muslims. Members of ISIS are just terrorists, even though you'll try to lump them in with all Muslims. You're wrong.

    They're terrorists, just like all the white American terrorists who have killled in this country. Just. Fucking. Terrorists. If they didn't pervert a religion to justify their actions, they'd use something else.

    Still, I'm sure you'll ignore what I just wrote and loudly whine "MUSLIM!!!!"

    It is our duty to take in refugees, especially from wars we started. And they are vetted. It's part of the American ideal.

    Also, this is clearly a "good for busines" move by Trump, as has been said before. No ban on Saudis (9/11 anyone) or Turkey, where he has biz ties.

    But go ahead and spin you ass off YF Spicer.

    Credit where it's due. Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.) becomes the first Congressperson from his party to criticize the order.

    So, why didn't it get a fraction of the reaction that Trump's temporary ban is getting?
