Oh FFS!

This is pure insanity. Sending more American kids to die in another quagmire of a clusterfuck will only make matters worse. Not only will we see a massive surge in ISIS recruiting due to the outrage it will cause, but it will just further radicalize the nutjobs both at home and abroad. The fucking travel ban won't stop the psycho motherfucker born and raised in Anytown USA from carrying out his own act of terrorism... which in turn will just bolster the anti-muslim rhetoric and push the already giant snowball further down the hill.

Having thought about what I just wrote... that's exactly what Trump and his band of lunatics want. Just wait until some 23 year old kid named Trevor from Kenosha blows up a dozen kids in the name of Allah. These fuckers are counting on it as a means to justify their lunacy.
 
Not good. They would likely wind up underneath some Russian bombs. But even if they don't and are successful Trump would be trading Ukraine for Syria. Not a good deal Donald.

Let's be 100% clear. This place was founded by Christian fundamentalists and will always be a haven for them. The ruling is a mere blip.

let's be clear....this country was founded by Deists, not christians. the first WHITE people walking on the shores may have been pilgrims and christians. but the folks who wrote the declaration and the constitution were not fundamentalist christians. hence separation....and the fact that the word 'god' does not appear in any of the founding papers.

I've seen both sides of the argument. After insisting "the founding fathers" were deists myself, I'm not longer convinced. They were all descendents of religious zealots and that zealotry is baked into this country's history and culture. It's only a matter of time before there are pogroms here.
