Election is over, time for a new thread.

US-bound Muslim Travelers Are Stopped From Boarding Flights

Hopefully what this eventually does is
prod the peaceful Muslims to getting
radical Muslims out of their mosques.
Things can't continue as they have been,
modern society won't tolerate it much
longer. With Trump, we aren't tolerating
it now.

Strange I remember the republicans being highly critical of Obama for using executive orders to carry out his agenda.

Executive Orders go back to George Washington.
Obama was actually kind of a piker when it came
to EO's. Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush jr, Eisenhower,
Truman, Nixon, Johnson all issued more EO's than
Obama. Roosevelt was the grandaddy of OE's, issuing
over 3500. Obama only had a paltry 275. So don't worry,
Trump will be setting no records. Even Teddy Roosevelt
had over 1000.

Right, I'm not partially opposed to them. It's just the GOP was vehemently opposed to their use when it was Obama. They are more than they're trumped up to be (heh), as they still have to work within the bounds of existing laws. The Executive branch can't create or edit laws.

Donald's first 100 days:

Week 1 - "Alternative facts" is the only thing that anyone remembers.

Week 2 - The poorly executed "Muslim ban" that forgets to ban Muslims from countries where Donald has business interests will be what we all remember.

Actually, I may be wrong. Some people may end up remembering this more from week 1:

Governing by EO's is always bad when it's
the other party doing it. This has been the
case since Grant went hog wild with it in
the 1870's and issued over 200. Ever since
then it's whoever is in power that thinks
it's wonderful. Are you new to this? I
remember the Left went nuts when Nixon
issued 346. Then came Carter a couple years
later and issued 320 in 4 years. It's an old
old game.

I think that we should give Mr. Trump something special, unique. Let's set the record for shortest time in Presidential position prior to impeachment.
DO NOT blindly accept what has been spoken. DO NOT blindly accept what has been written. Think. Assess. Lead. DO NOT blindly follow.

And we could have had this. We avoided the
bullet on this one. This would be Hillary boarding

I love how much that picture of Donald's big butt getting on Marine One bugs you.

You've seen it twice now, and your knee jerk reaction was to post a pic of Hillary in response both times.

Priceless.
