Watching the Celebrity Apprentice (shut up) and Steven Baldwin is on it. He wins a cheque for 50 grand for his mother's charity and presents it to her, and she smiles and says "It's all because of you." He nods, points up and says, "and him." And she says "Donald." He frowns, says, "Yeah, and, you know, God?" She kind of shrugs.
I nearly pissed myself laughing.

Just watched a surreal segment on the news. A reporter went to a breakfast joint in a Pennsylvania county that voted 60% for Trump to ask the patrons about the Muslim ban - and let's cut the BS - it's a Muslim ban at the end of the day. Wrap it in any pretty bow you want. Every single one of the people interviewed came across as ridiculously paranoid and afraid. The words THEY and THEM were used over and over again in a very degenerative way. The reporter asked each of them if they believed that the Orlando, San Bernardino, and Boston terrorist attacks were perpetrated by citizens from one of the 7 banned countries and they all replied with a resounding YES. When told that they were actually US citizens or from other countries that are not on the ban list they all responded like a 3 year old child being told that Santa Claus wasn't real. Surreal. BREAKING NEWS: Trump just fired the acting Attorney General because she came forward to oppose Trump's Muslim ban. Three decades in public office working under both Republican and Democratic administrations and who was approved by over 80% of congress when nominated. First time something like this has happened since Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre which help lead to his impeachment. ****ing scary ****.

If you're referring to Obama telling the DoHS to focus on the travel to and from one country in an attempt to catch two fugitives then I guess you could say that both instances are the same if you remove 100% of the context.

Wait, if Trump did the same thing as Obama, what caused it to be effective this time around and why didn't it work before? Or are we deluding ourselves with partisan politics again?

Please list all of the terrorist acts committed or planned by a citizen of those 7 countries that took place in the United States.
Now do the same for the 4 Muslim countries that Trump excluded from the ban, and just by chance, were part of 9/11 AND, he has lucrative business connections with. And also, Trump is president. Not Obama. Stop looking backwards and deal with the present. Isn't that what all of you conservatives were preaching very loudly after Obama took office? Stop being a hypocrite. I'll be waiting on your lists.
