President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

How do you feel about yarmulkes and bow ties?

 

How do you feel about wifebeaters and jorts?

 

Training? Not this century.

 

So according to YF, people who insist on following their cultural or religious traditions are not going to assimilate enough so they must be kept out of the United States. Really? This is what he thinks we are now? This is what he wants us to be?

 

Spare me the condescension.

It's a fact that the U.S. takes refugee referrals from UN refugee camps, that are unsafe for Christians:

“This is de facto discrimination and a gross injustice,” Nina Shea, who is director of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom, told Fox News. Fox notes another theory: that the United States takes refugee referrals from the UN refugee camps in Jordan and there are no Christians there. Here’s the Fox excerpt:

Experts say another reason for the lack of Christians in the make-up of the refugees is the make-up of the camps. Christians in the main United Nations refugee camp in Jordan are subject to persecution, they say, and so flee the camps, meaning they are not included in the refugees referred to the U.S. by the U.N.

“The Christians don’t reside in those camps because it is too dangerous,” Shea said. “They are preyed upon by other residents from the Sunni community and there is infiltration by ISIS and criminal gangs.”

“They are raped, abducted into slavery and they are abducted for ransom. It is extremely dangerous, there is not a single Christian in the Jordanian camps for Syrian refugees,” Shea said.​

I'm gonna need a ruling on cutoffs.

 

We're building a wall and making north Florida pay for it.

 

Funny how you passed that off as fact and yet glossed over this key phrase in your own source.

 

He keeps making that point so I'm going to say yes.

An optimist who thinks this actually is and should be a free country might think the refugees and their children would find wonderful people and opportunities here and would want to be more like that.

 

Natives who worked with the US army in places like Iraq and Afghanistan are now finding themselves screwed by this EO. Meaning there will be extreme reluctance to help in the future.

Congrats Trump, you just endangered American lives for your racist bullshit (well, Bannon's racist bullshit that you will gladly glom onto).

 

If you were purposefully ignorant of religion, history and current events, you certainly would think that. #bliss

 

Is the title of this blog an overstatement, suggesting that the United States “bars” Christian refugees from Syria? Sure, in that we do not and could not legally ban Christian refugees any more than we could or should bar Muslim refugees.
