Hey, I know you once vehemently claimed you'd run 5:00 pace for the marathon (for those of you that weren't here in the early/mid 2000s, this is 100% true), so you're a bit out there and will believe damn near anything, but.....
Saying "sh1thole countries" was not racist. The countries are viewed in that manner because the governments are corrupt and their people are not taken care of. They let their people live in dirty, resource-deprived villages and provide very little aide, so they have zero chance to prosper. That's the definition of a sh1thole country. You know it, I know it. It's incredibly disingenuous to act like he was saying that because of their race.
He said "go back to where you came from" after that particular individual went on several unfounded attacks (including outright threats toward a particular RACE) on Americans that have done nothing wrong, continuously attacked the President purely for political points, and generally b1tches about the American way of life. So you have to kind of ask yourself, "if you hate it so much, GTFO! Why are you still here if it's so bad?"
Calling Warren Pocahontas was racist?! Are you mad?! He was joking about her BLATANT LIE about being Native American. He was mocking her in front of the world. The tribe themselves flat out told her to "just stop" after the DNA test debacle.
"Muslim" is not a race, moran.
Nice try though, DB.
Xenophobic, racist, sexist, etc...same, same.
We can agree to disagree and move on.
Most normal people would find his comments unbecoming of a president if not outright racist or Xenophobic.

Right. I didn't think you'd have a reasonable retort to me displaying your disingenuous, emotional garbage thought process.
The first step to getting past one's TDS is to accept reality. You are still refusing to do so.

The questions you ask do have answers. But we can't work toward the answers as long as the right is just spewing hatred toward poor, helpless refugees.
Will you also stop calling it an "invasion"?
I will try to quit calling it an invasion. What is the opposite of exodus?

The actual ban was only structured that way in order to pass muster with the courts.
Tiny wanted a full Muslim ban. That's what he said he wanted and there is no room for doubt.
Tiny hates people based on both race AND religion. He's an equal opportunity slime ball.
Please elaborate how it's structuring excluded Indonesia. Why did Indonesia's exclusion help it pass muster with the courts?
Read up on the ban. Both bans were structured in a way that attempted to slide past the courts. The first one was struck down, in part, because it was clearly based on religion instead of national security. The second one was upheld because they changed the way they decided which countries were banned.
Again, Tiny wanted a full Muslim ban. He wanted it to be based on religion and hatred. The courts wouldn't let him do that, so he settled for what he could get.

Do. Or do not. There is no try.

As we have seen, calling it an invasion leads to violence. Remember the words of Patrick Crusius:
If you see immigrants as invaders instead of seeing them as refugees then you stand with Patrick Crusius.
If your response to poor migrants from Central America is to greet them with walls and armies instead of kindness and hospitality then you stand with Patrick Crusius.
Look inside yourself. If you are filled with hate instead of love then you stand with Patrick Crusius. You need to make a change.

We don't accept everyone; about 25% are approved. What Trump wants to do is to significantly decrease the number of asylum seekers and make the process as unpleasant as possible for those that do apply.

Let me get this straight. Texas is shifting to the left because many Texans want to follow rules and the Constitution and secure the effing border? They want immigration to be done methodically and not by having a million people cross the border each year? Alan, are you a law and order person? I know you were military. Do you not respect laws? Should we not adhere to laws? Or should we ignore them like all the sanctuary cities do? Please do tell.
Are you new to Texas? Texas has been democratic several times. Texas is shifting left no because of the drivel you posted. (You do NOT speak for ALL Texans, you idiot.) Texas is shifting left because of the sweetheart deals made to companies to relocate there. The companies Texas has been pursuing are companies from blue areas of blue states (hang 'em high tax states) which bring their employees, and those employees tend to vote blue.

The "pardon" comes at the urging of Jared Kushner who "believes" that would swing some democratic voters over to Trump. But other Trump staffers have warned that any gains would be undone by Trump supporters who would be disgusted by Trump pardoning a democrat.

the more basic reason tx is turning blue is that it is an urban state - urban states tend to be blue. Because city people dont' mind immigrants and new things, and want government to have a role in their lives.
The tx cities are already blue...the key for 2020 and 2022 will be to start turning the suburbs purple. Those women of texas will be wooed out their minds by the Dems the next few years.
