Not surprised, It's going to be a long 4-8 years.

When are we gonna see the wall?

Avatar mixed with post made me chuckle a bit.
 
Pretty amazing that after bitching about Obama circumventing the legislative process they're letting Trump do everything by executive order.

if they start putting people in camps, that's the time for actual resistance right? A peaceful protest isn't going to get people out of camps

If the courts fail and/or the administration refuses to obey their order? I'd say so.
 
This really sucks and is getting scary the closer to home it gets. My sister in law can't leave anyways based on the restrictions she has to follow and we were anning a family trip to Mexico this holiday season, but now I'm not so sure if we should. We will definitely be starting my wife's citizenship application next month to hopefully rule out any risk with her green card.

It's risky to leave the country until they get naturalised. Your sister in law has to be patient unfortunately, and after getting her green card she will will have to wait 5 years before applying for naturalisation. It's good your girlfriend will get her citizenship this year. In that case, they can't do anything not even the president, congress or the supreme court could stop her from entering.
 
I hope the next Dem pres with majorities in Congress works equally fast. Obama spent most of his two years on ACA when he could of done a whole lot more.

Anyway some immigration reform is inevitable, to be pro-illegal immigration is an untenable position electorally, I just hope Trump doesn't take away stuff like DACA that actually has a really important purpose

Banning certain countries is also very silly, will do nothing
 
I feel so so so bad for those refugees waiting to come to a country that has freedoms that they only see in their dreams while they potentially run and flee for their lives. Come to canada I would gladly take a few under my house while they get settled and can get potentially children integrated in school and get jobs etc. heart breaking
 
I really hope people destroy any attempted construction of that moronic wall/fence when he gets to that. Just keep tearing it down/blowing it up.

I really hope Canada doesn't fall to Trump-inspired stupidity as the Conservative party gathers its morons that want to imitate all this.

It'd be laughable if not for the human cost. America was already like rock bottom in acceptance of refugees.

being canadian i fear this however we have the US as a reference to hopefully not have this happen to our country
 
Honestly, if there's any sort of attack in the US, don't be surprised if all airports are closed "until further notice." Everyone's rights will be ripped away.
This is what I'm terrified of. Something big is going to happen eventually. All it'll do is help secure Trump a second term like it did for Bush. But it'll be 10x worse this time.
 
Its all executive orders. Congress hasn't passed a single bill. All this can be reversed in a single day with a new President.

Its going to be a tough few years but you guys gotta take heart and hang in there.
 
Executive Orders are one of the coolest powers a President holds - they can be used for evil and good.

Congress can only be reactive and fixing things takes time.
 
He's moving so fast. Must be the confidence of having the scum of the Earth nodding to your every move.

It's up to us, the American people to take this country back. One week folks. We don't want to know what damage he can do with 223 more weeks. Or how about 447 more?

It is four years until the next election, only way to get rid of him is at the ballot box.

Don't forget about midterms. Stop it with the 4year stuff.


Midterms matter just as much.
 
Honest question: what do we do?

Like, really? What's the most practical thing we can do? Obviously mid-term elections are massively important right now, so fucking voting is a start. Organizing, getting people informed, all that. I get that. But that's two years away.

We're talking less than a week since he's been in office and he's already taken away so much. What can we do so there isn't two years of daily executive orders doing whatever the hell he or his puppet masters feel like?

This is not rhetorical. This is a real question. What do we do?

Vote. Contact your local government officials. Protest. Stay informed.

As someone already said, donate to the ACLU so they can fight this stuff in court.

I'll link you to this thread as well.

You'll have 9 additional actions delivered your way after that one. I'll be keeping that OT updated through the entire campaign.
And, yes, donating to the ACLU is a solid idea as well if you're directly impacted by this specific issue.
 
So, he can't even be bothered to wait for his own congress to vote on things... He's just gonna enact everything through EO.

Can someone tell me what the limitations on executive orders are? They seem limitless in their power.

The US already did shit numbers on refugees. In Canada we were already taking a lot more than them.
 
Honestly he is going to do every one of his campaign promises. Why does this shock anyone?

Some of his promises were impossible. Some he straight up lied about. Social Security will be a prime example of the latter.

Reuters said:
President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders starting on Wednesday that include a temporary ban on most refugees and a suspension of visas for citizens of Syria and six other Middle Eastern and African countries, according to several congressional aides and immigration experts briefed on the matter.

Trump is expected to order a multi-month ban on allowing refugees into the United States except for religious minorities escaping persecution, until more aggressive vetting is in place.

Another order will block visas being issued to anyone from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified.

The sources have said the first of the orders will be signed on Wednesday. But Trump is also considering measures to tighten border security and could turn his attention to the refugee issue later this week.

Did a search for "refugees" and "Muslims" and found nothing.

Burn my passport if old.
 
My original post was just the word "FUCK" 50 times.

If anyone needs an attic to hide in, hit me up.
 
A ban based on nothing but fear. They told people that they should be scared so they voted for this out of that fear.

The United States is completely broken.
 
I've volunteered at refugee points in my city. How can you be so cruel and evil to do this to them... it makes me want to fucking cry.

Fuck. Fuck.
 
I don't understand how a tiny group of terrorist fuckwits is somehow dominating the biggest superpower in the history of the human species.

America, you lost :(
 
I'll allow this on the condition that when the US collapses at the end of the year everybody that voted for this arsehole has to stay in the smouldering rubble and think about what they've done

Humans are on the whole pretty easy to play.
