    I'm desperately trying to find some alt right fake media (or alt left...i'm not picky) to refute this.

    (yes, I'm joking)

    “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in February. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.”

    I completely agree with Mitch McConnell. I look forward to this vacancy being filled in 2021.

    Thanks for the link. I will watch though it won't be until after the Rockets game tonight. But I will definitely watch it.

    Excellent post Tex!!!! The naivety of the rank and file liberals is mind boggling. You would think common sense would kick in at some time but then again if they had any common sense they wouldn't be liberals in the first place.

    Were you equally mad when Obama used executive order for amnesty?

    Naivete is thinking that this is the end for Trump. He clearly stated other countries can be added to this list. Given that we're dealing with a man-child here, what's to stop Trump from extending this ban to any country he sees fit- whether there is a threat or not? Heck, going by recent incidents, why doesn't he ban French citizens? Or better yet, going by past history, why isn't Saudi Arabia on there?

    The point is that this "rollout" was done very poorly in a haphazard fashion which, according to Spicer, was done to catch the bad guys off-guard. Unless you're someone basing foreign policy on Saturday morning cartoons, this is embarrassingly sophomoric and does not bode well for the next few months, much less the next few years.

    Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer held a rally at the steps of The Supreme Court and mic did not work (a mess)-just like Dem party!

    5:21 AM - 31 Jan 2017

    You want to talk about unhinged? This is utterly embarrassing. Fake Tears Chuck Schumer?? What is this, recess in middle school? If you think this is cool or acceptable, maybe you need to grow up a bit.

    Actually I was pretty pro-wall for awhile but now I am starting to agree that the money should be spent elsewhere. It happens.

    No but I can understand the arguments both for and against that action, amnesty was even heavily debated within Republican ranks. But I don't understand the rationale for Trump's action at all, his administration and people defending this EO are acting like people are being massacred on a weekly basis in this country when that couldn't be further from the truth. Statistics show that you're much more likely to be shot up by some white idiot than a radicalized Muslim idiot. I fully understand and would support reviewing the vetting process and making any changes necessary to ensure that people coming in to this country are properly vetted but this ban is an executive overreach that does nothing but harm to the US and its interests.

    Protesting policies is fine. Although there have been incidents of protesting gone amok, while they get the press there haven't been that many. What is leading to the 'unhinged' issue is all the commentary outside of the protests. Several of the media were comparing Trump's inauguration speech to Hitler. Seriously? He hasn't even been in office and godwinning already? There have been comments everywhere about the utter disaster and calamity that has befallen us--All before he'd even had a chance to take any actions. The selective outrage in the media, and elsewhere such as celebrity comments, while it has always been there, has reached new levels: whereas it was subtle before, it is glaringly obvious now.

    Personally, I hope it continues (and I doubt I'll be disappointed). The media always hid behind this veil of objectivity, denying the bias that was already there. There isn't any denying it anymore. This will hurt them in the long run. Trump is playing the media well, and they seem willing partners in their own demise. The more the press vilifies him, the more his base supports him, and the more the middle gets tired of the vilifying. The media is helping make Trump stronger, the very thing they don't want.

    What happens to things when they become unhinged? They fall off, and are replaced.

    Not liking the policy or the way it was rolled out is one thing but calling it a "Muslin Ban" like the media is doing and the sheep are parroting on this forum is outright disingenuous. It is in no way a Muslim ban.

    Trump did originally campaign on a Muslim ban though. He modified his position after getting called out on it.

    FB, we could argue the semantics of it but it will not get us anywhere. No it was not outright immediate amnesty.

    Does it matter what he campaigned on now? The election is over. What he has done is being completely mislabeled by the mainstream media and rank and file liberals as a "Muslim ban". It is not a Muslim ban.

    It's not a complete Muslim band. That is true. It doesn't make what he's done acceptable.

    I can't stand either of those guys. I do find it funny when liberals selectively use what guys like this say giving them credibility. Do you also blindly support their war-hawk talk they always spout wanting to invade every country?

    I think it does matter what he campaigned on because it gives you insight to what he will do as president. Some people in his own camp said he wouldn't build a wall, but he is doing it.

    Concern is fine, and some of it clearly warranted. Yes, this was poorly implemented, even commentators on the right will say that. Hopefully Trump learns from that (we shall see). But jumping the shark and drawing comparisons with Hitler? That's pretty over the top, especially when what Trump is doing isn't THAT markedly different from what Obama did, all with little or no fuss or fanfare from the very groups making the Hitler comparisons now. It is hugely selective, and over the top.

    Neil Cavuto had an excellent piece on this a few days ago. While he is clearly conservative, he's always been pretty fair in his comments, being more business oriented that political (which is how he treats this piece).
