I went immediately to Last Tango in Paris, then had to work my way back to no-so-current events.

I've yet to hear any good Muslim bands, so I think this should be allowed to stand.

Well, Jeff, I'm totally amazed that red-neck, Klan-sympathizing, named-after-Confederate-heroes, punk-ass little troll like you, from a state that still proudly flies the traitor flag and sings Dixie as their own national anthem, whose state car is a rusty, 20-year-old Ford pickup, has been appointed to enforce laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Totally amazed. I'm also totally amazed that a former judge and US Senator seems to have no notion of the role of the courts in the federal system. Or that Hawaii is actually now a state--just like Alabama. And since you seem to have no idea of either your role or that of the courts, why don't you just resign, and let a grown-up have the job. Not that the tweeting orangutan--and your soul-mate--in the White House has the first idea of the qualifications for the office you now hold. Much less his own.

OK, now I feel better.

Just ...

go do something about the Rethuglican ones in Congress.

(And, you know, Racist Sessions. Because, yeah - that's not anybody else's job.)

And give the Democrats a spine between them.

The rest of us will take it from there.

The original ban was only for 90 days to 'figure things out'. So I'm assuming Trump figured it out in just 30. Why do we need this? Just to appeal to Trumps racist base.

That's because

You can’t just stand by when others are being trampled by the same systemic privilege you’re benefiting from and point at Nazis and say “Butbutbut I’m a good guy THEY’RE DOING IT WORSE”.

That’s how systemic bias perpetuates itself – by “good people” doing nothing.

Yup, though I'm sure a native French speaker can find a blooper or two in it. (I made a small adjustment, already.)
