    We really have become two countries. You have the heartland working class Americans that elected Trump being content with what he's done and the media along with the snowflakes and the sore loser coastal cities throwing constant temper tantrums. It's kind of fun to watch these spoiled children writhing in agony as we roll over them daily. We are in a civil war of sorts and the good guys are winning as the Democrats are whinning and the snowflakes are melting.

    "Many of President Donald Trump’s core political supporters had a simple message on Sunday for the fiercest opponents of his immigration ban: Calm down.

    The relaxed reaction among the kind of voters who drove Trump’s historic upset victory - working- and middle-class residents of Midwest and the South - provided a striking contrast to the uproar that has gripped major coastal cities, where thousands of protesters flocked to airports where immigrants had been detained."

    In the electoral strongholds for Trump, residents seemed nonplussed about the uproar flashing across their television screens. They shrugged off concerns about botched execution, damage to foreign relations and legal challenges across the country.

    In New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other cities, Trump's action set off an outpouring of anger.

    House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, evoked an image of the Statue of Liberty weeping. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York teared up himself on camera as he seethed over the “mean-spirited and un-American” immigration ban."

    If Donald Trump campaigned on a promise of a Muslim Ban, and Donald Trump delivers, why should his voters be up-and-arms about it.

    If fact, if Trump supporters were really the racist everyone believes them to be, they would be outraged over the fact that this ban is LESS extreme than originally proposed. Because, honestly, I thought he was just going to institute just a blanket Muslim ban.

    The uproar is nothing more than well-funded and well-organized leftist opposition. We'll be watching their silly antics for years. It'll all be doomsday for them. Wait until the Supreme Court pick.

    This may be the point in time when they learn "solidarity" is a stupid buzz word and doesn't govern anything. Elections, separation of powers, checks and balances...it's about time these moons learn how things actually work.

    Of course they shrug off. He is doing Americans a favour. Learn from our idiotic mistakes in the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland etc...You nip them in the bud before they reach few millions and start demanding more and more. You really don't want to see Americans beheaded in the USA like it happened to British soldier in London. And our idiots on the left are sort of trying to justify beheading of a British soldier in London. Good grief.

    Trump's heartland voters also shrug off global warming and predictions we're all going to burst into flames or drown from melting glaciers. Some of us just need a little more convincing.


    Edit: The polar bears are fine by the way those photos of them standing on tiny ice islands that's completely normal. Ask any marine biologist.

    The absolute lunacy, and anti-American fanaticism of today's Democrat Party sickens me. Makes me wish Joe McCarthy was still around.

    You're not going to get this from the news, but Schumer & Warren voted for a "Muslim Ban" on December 18, 2015 for the Visa Waiver Program in the Senate. Pelosi voted to single out exactly the same countries for her "Muslim Ban". Obama signed the "Muslim Ban" into law and Soros didn't pay anyone to demonstrate.

    What are the additional questions being added to the ESTA application in June 2016?

    The additional/modified questions are:

    Have you traveled to, or been present in, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, or Yemen on or after March 1, 2011?
    CBP Global Entry program number, if applicable.

    It was the first thing that crossed my mind when they came out with the Russians did Hillary in story. It's like they'd been studying up on McCarthyism and how to play the media game.

    TWO supreme court picks, not just the Scalia replacement but also Ginzberg is retiring. So we'll have a 6-3 advantage and probably another pick very soon, too, cause Stevens is the walking dead. Bryer is a distinctly older guy, too. If We can jam the court with Pirro, Napolitano, Coulter and Gowdy, maybe with Chavetz, too, we'll be safe for at least 30 years.

    I remember that. The body was still bleeding from the neck when the Euro islamoapologist left wing was arguing that the attack had nothing to do with Islam, and was due to Britain's involvement in the US war on terror.

    The fact is that democratic administrations weren't subjected to the same level of acrimonious assault, and sardonic hyperbole at the hands of MSM ... Democratic lawmakers simply weren't publicly demonized for enacting the very same policies. At this point, I don't know if the DNC controls the MSM, or vice-versa ...

    This whole Muslim ban is a shinny penny distraction for the Trump FanBoys. If you take all th people killed by Muslim Terrorist in this country for the last 15 years, it adds up to less than a month of those killed by drunk Christian drivers. In fact, you're more likely to die getting hit by a train.

    We have some serious problems to deal with in this country. The cost of health care. The lack of savings for retirement. Poor nutrition. Unfilled tech jobs. Water resource problems. Yet all the air is sucked out of the room by a problem that affects less than .0000001 percent of the population.

    Our problem is that every politician ( and Trump is now a politician) pretend victory when all they are doing is distracting the voters with shinny pennies and kicking the big problems down the road for the next generation.

    I believe trump has addressed all of your concerns (directly or indirectly), give him another week.
    Obamacare negatively affects more people than this travel ban does.

    Exactly.

    The "heartland" voters (substitute for small town rural), dictate to the whole country what to do, through the insane electoral college.

    Now, those same voters mostly have a zero chance to even have any Muslims in their community, let alone suffering a terror attack:

    Many of them may never see a Muslim, except when they travel by airplane (which doesn't happen very often).

    Yet, they inflict chaos by having Trump make policy based on their irrational fear.

    That's the upside. That's what we're hoping for. Thank you President Trump.

    Alone your wording with terms as "heartland working class Americans that elected Trump " against "media along with the snowflakes and the sore loser coastal cities" as well terms of "spoiled children" or "Democrats are whining and the snowflakes are melting" show clearly that you have lost realities of a divided nation.
    Never ever had an elected President divided a country so much as this actual one ... and instead re-thinking if the critics contain maybe some serious arguments ... not to say truth, the political enemy earns a political disparaging by the Trump followers if not being quite and being same sort of happy as they.

    They just shrug their shoulders over the protests, a shrug how Trump's destroys international relations, and they shut their eyes when Trump shoots a total owner even with the cancellation of TTP (no wondering why China against TTP was thought to make is celebrating the end of TTP?). Why?



    Because the followers of Trump still live in this idiotic arrogance, and believe the fairy tale of an unbeatable America, which is the best, the militarily strongest, the economical most powerful in the world around where the rest of the world has to turn around and to follow the US will!

    The truth, however, is unfortunately a different and very uncomfortable to accept ...

    Yet millions of people with pre-existing conditions have health insurance - a positive - thanks to the legislation.
    The Trump FanBoys seem to forget that health care cost was the number one or two issue for the 40 years BEFORE Obamacare as well. Just repealing it doesn't solve the problem of rising healthcare costs and it certainly won't help with availability of insurance.

    Now, I'm going to give Trump a chance to address these problems - but I'm not impressed so far.
    We have American Citizens who can't drink their tap water ( given that clean drinking water is the the number one priority for life) yet all he wants to do is talk about the size of his inauguration crowd and building damn wall. His priorities are screwed up.

    - - - Updated - - -

    That's like thanking Trump for stopping Shark attacks in Iowa. Shinny penny time for the Trump FanBoys.

    Begs the question why Obama signed a Muslim Visa Waiver Ban into law in December 2015, a law targeting the very same countries of concern identified by Trump, and a law that was supported by Pelosi and 165 other Democrats in the House and Weepy Schumer, Fauxcahontas and over 30 other Democrats in the Senate.

    So in your mind, TWO Presidents wasting time and money on inconsequential issues makes it OK? "He did it first," is an asinine, 5th grade argument.
