Trump 2017: Year Zero

[Disassociative]

It's working out nicely? ITS WORKING OUT NICELY? ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND?

[Baphomette]

DHS just released a statement.

[Disassociative]

They can shoved that statement up their arse.

[allegro]

Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump wore a really fugly dress that appears to be made of aluminum foil.

Meanwhile, our Government detained a 5-yr-old at Dulles pretty much all day:

Iranian green card holders, age 88 and 83 and both disabled, were detained for hours:

Meanwhile, I didn't know that Obama had done this to Cubans (who aren't even terrorists):

Why the fuck are we detaining CUBANS?

Well, honestly, Hillary would have been much more Year Zero than Trump: Syria would be a sandlot. We're seeing a fight between two well-off factions: establishment war-expansionism vs. tourist, construction, etc. monopoly.

[cynicmuse]

Because THEY'RE MORONS. We're talking about where and how they get "the list." People who already have green cards have been fully vetted.

This is all fear-mongering based on the San Bernadino "terrorist" who was here on a K1 visa, and Trump wants to specifically protect Christian refugees from Syria, ALTHOUGH ALL SYRIAN REFUGEES ARE BANNED INDEFINITELY per the EO.

whatever.

Two families of Orthodox Christian refugees from Syria were put on a flight to Qatar from Philadelphia today, so the EO has kicked out Christians as well as Muslims now.

[telee.kom]

I wonder why Saudi Arabia is not the list duh

[Disassociative]

I wonder why Saudi Arabia is not the list duh

Funny that. How long is the US Government just going to give Saudi Arabia a free pass for what they've done?

Oh I know until it's not profitable in any way.

[Louie_Cypher]

religous test, wtf, you want trump not to do an executive order hide it under the constitution

Yeah, well, just wait. It's only been the first week.

Hillary wanted a no-fly zone over Syria, and to continue the "lead from behind" initiative of the Obama administration relative to Syria.

Trump is teaming up with Putin and is expanding the military on an emergency basis.

[allegro]

I wonder why Saudi Arabia is not the list duh

Because the "protocol" that they use since this was implemented after Sept 11 is "gives us stuff, including intelligence" = "not on list."

[allegro]

Two families of Orthodox Christian refugees from Syria were put on a flight to Qatar from Philadelphia today, so the EO has kicked out Christians as well as Muslims now.

Right, because, as I said, all Syrian refugees are banned indefinitely per the EO. So he makes zero fucking sense.

But, well, consider the source of the EO. He ain't writing this shit, but he for sure is editing the fuck out of the EOs to make sure it's El Jefe's way.

Meanwhile:

Under Boston Federal Court ruling, people lawfully entitled to enter U.S. cannot be detained or removed for the next 7 days:

Looks like Bannon is the architect behind this mess. Priebus and him are also allegedly behind the omission of the Jews in his holocaust remembrance speech.

The fact that Bannon is being handed so much influence is quite troubling.

Edit: Giuliani admitting Trump asked how to do a legal muslim ban. 3:00 mark.

They are both sucked. This was the worst election in history as no one, no one had what it takes to run this country/world.

Angry rednecks wanted trump because of his hate speech and liberals wanted Clinton because she was woman and cared more about a woman being president than anything else. Clinton was the lesser of two evils, but it would have been a better choice than this shit that is going on right now.

Confusing and scary times indeed and I hope something is done. As a country, now is the time to see how much power lies in the voices of the American people. Honestly, I think we cry to deaf ears as this government doesn't care of our needs, just their gains.

[playwithfire]

Hillary, though hawkish, would have probably been a slightly less progressive continuance of the last 8 years. Conflating them is silly. As is saying her appeal was based on her being a woman. I'm sure it was a selling point to some but I have approximately 0 conservatives in my life and the vast majority of folks I know didn't give 2 shits about her gender vs her policies. We were also mostly Bernie supporters who came around out of necessity post-primary.

[playwithfire]

Oh, re: Trump, though.

Valerie Aurora has been doing good shit.

[Conan The Barbarian]

By the way, as a liberal that believes in gun rights. The second amendment is probably gonna come in handy now that we might have a fascist government now. So don't be afraid of guns or anything. I'm looking into buying some incase our rights start being taken away.

[GulDukat]

President Trump, a Sinatra fan, should watch this. It's as relivant today as it was in 1945. Real content starts about 2:50 minutes in.



ETA, for the life of me, I cannot seem to inbed videos.

When the stormtroopers show up at your door, they'll laugh at your guns.

Lol since my name is Conan, I hope they laugh at my four winds.

[Louie_Cypher]

you've got an administration complaining about fake news when the king of fake news is sitting in the west wing
-louie

[Wretchedest]

Hilary Clinton was not a fascist. fucking wow. keep sucking down that Russian propaganda though

[GulDukat]

Do any of you ever actually read Trump's tweets? Sweet Jesus.

[Wretchedest]

It's entirely fucking scary. and again. No one to save us.

Trump appointed the Uber CEO as part of Cabinet, now people are deleting their Uber accounts and signing up for Lyft since Lyft pledged a $1,000,000 donation to the ACLU over the next four years.

Is this the DHS saying they don't plan on following the the Boston Federal Court ruling? https://www.dhs.gov/news/2017/01/29/...ent-litigation or am I misreading it?

"The Department of Homeland Security will comply with judicial orders;"

[allegro]
