Amusingly enough, Reagan was the one who signed the bill that finally gave Japanese camp survivors reparations (over his and Republican objections, of course, since federal spending :supaburn:), and ol' HW held a nice big ceremony to present the survivors with their checks.

And W singed the 2006 Voting Rights act that passed the seat 96-0, it's a crazy time man.

With the rise in Islamophobic anti-refugee sentiment being parroted by Republican politicians and voters, the part of the election cycle in which I fear the idea of a GOP President so badly that I would vote for literally anybody else has come early. I think I'm almost ready to embrace the inevitability of a Clinton nomination.

Well, considering this was like 1/20th of the casualties of 9/11 and happened in France, let's not congratulate ourselves too much. If another 9/11 happened right now, I'd immediately toxx on the vast majority of Americans supporting internment camps.

Seriously. There is no GOP candidate that I would ever vote for, even if Clinton was (or is) the alternative. I can't see how any sane American with a conscious could either, but hey, America V:smith:V

does the bill actualy just want screen the refugees or is it a complete stop to them forever. because i am ok with screening and vetting if done properly, but thats for all immigrants. I am sure its the latter, but just curious.

More that they're being re-directed into things that aren't funny to laugh about. Trump's beating the anti-refugee/anti-immigrant/anti-Muslim drum harder now, and it's not fun to know that so much of America unironically agrees with him.

So apparently all those governors refusing, and mayors refusing actually amounted to something, and it wasn't enough that there was federal supremacy? I'm disappointed, the most Obama can do is threaten a veto of a racist bill. :smith:

Unfortunately, Trump simply does not do low energy; even Trump as a reanimated zombie would still move faster and have more energy than Jeb!
