I don’t think this is going to win the hearts and minds of the Millennials and with our current “healthcare” system, Boomers/Silents are rapidly shrinking voting blocks.
Remember when Trump promised the Muslim ban was only a temporary six-month ban until we “find out what’s going on?” That was a year and a half ago, so according to Trump, this should all be over by now. Why isn’t it?
This needs to be Donnie’s Formal Portrait in the Congressional Gallery of Presidential Portraits, since it’s the single most accurate painting I have EVER SEEN of him.
Pathetic. If Trump wanted to ban all Muslims he would have banned all Muslims. Instead, he chose the same hotspot nations called out by the O administration as being virtually impossible to get vetting data from on immigrants.
The nations chosen for the “ban” comprise less than 10% of the Muslims in Muslim majority nations. There are more than 40 nations with a Muslim Majority, comprising 90% of the world population, that were NOT on the travel ban list.
The entire premise that these executive orders were “Muslim Bans” is a pathetic dog whistle.
Further, the SCOTUS decision should have been 9-0. The question brought to the court was about the scope of authority allowed to the POTUS by the Constitution and written law. There is absolutely no question that the POTUS can implement travel bans.
The liberal wing dissents are absurd distractions into alleged motive. They have absolutely nothing to do with the Constitutional question brought before the court. They are ideological opinions masquerading as an excuse for the Justices to rule against the Constitution and rule of law.
Well, that’s the Trifecta; the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch, and the Judiciary. To paraphrase Otto Frank (Anne Frank’s father), “For years, we lived in hope. Now, we can live in fear.”
“Obnoxious” is in the eye of the beholder. If I drew and or reflected every idea in this forum the way you wished me to, I’d be Rembrandt and Einstein all rolled into one."*
Nah. Obnoxious is separate from politics. Obnoxious is intentionally getting a name wrong, just like DJT. Obnoxious is acting like people have to agree with you or they are beneath contempt. Obnoxious is simply being intentionally rude.
I don’t agree with President Trump on much of anything. He would be obnoxious even if I agreed.
You might give Rembrandt a run for his money. You are a good political cartoonist. You will probably never match Einstein, though.
The so-called “right” is now going to legalize beating women, killing gays and minorities and forcing their daughters and nieces to carry the victims of their incestuous crimes to term. So much for the “moral majority”.

Adding non-Muslim countries was the trick that got this to pass since it blurred the intended discrimination against Muslims.
“We express no view on the soundness of the policy,” – nice disclaimer from cowardly Roberts.
From Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent:
“History will not look kindly on the court’s misguided decision today, nor should it.”
“a reasonable observer would conclude that the Proclamation was motivated by anti-Muslim animus.”

Not enough lipstick in the world, maybe a cloth sack like they put over the heads of prisoners at Guantanamo, for isolation, and well, water boarding.

It seems if you put lipstick on a pig, that it looks amazingly like our beloved president.
