Refugees, dipshit. Go derp somewhere else.

Ok. So take in 20m refugees then? A bit radical, but (more or less proportionally) sweden could manage it without any problems, or at least not specifically last night. But what about the next generation?

Anyway, seems like aid restriction is more relevant. How does the travel ban affect access to foreign aid? How many would-be refugees from those countries won't be able to make it in during its small window?

You're just ridiculous. You actually gave starving africans as a motive behind the travel ban, instead of just the sensibly suggesting that it won't be helpful to the situation. Shameful to use them like that.

Yes, there are only two possible responses when faced with a lot of refugees: All or nothing. /s

Keep on derping. You can't even admit that you didn't think your previous dipshit comment through.

There are tonnes of people on this forum alone, and half this thread exists because such people think that America shouldn't take in refugees. Such people don't care that they're fleeing for their lives from war, why would they care if it's a different reason like starvation. I'm pretty sure you know this already, but you troll nonetheless.

No, there aren't "tonnes of people" on this forum who want Trump to intentionally starve africans. You aren't stupid enough to believe that, so how is it not the case that actually you're the troll here? There are many who don't give a shit about incidental harm it could cause, but you had to go full person with disability and ruin what could have been a valid point.

They wouldn't word it like that of course (and of course Syria isn't in Africa, but hey ho), they just continue to harp on about potential terrorists, rapists etc and ignore anything that challenges their perception. The same shit happened after WW2 with refugees from the concentration camps, and the solution was to force the natives out of another country and dump many of the refugees there. That's how fucking stupid, insensitive, selfish and ignorant many people are. Imagine how much conflict could have been avoided back then.

So where are all the Trump supporters who oppose this ban on the grounds that affected people are starving? Are you even aware that in Aleppo (Syria, in case you're not aware), the civilian population was pinned by government forces and aid vehicles were being kept out and attacked by the same forces? What the fuck do you suppose happens to cities under siege in times of war? You can't honestly be this ignorant, can you?

So, now that you've apparently clued in on the topic to such a tiny degree, what do you think about this ban now?

Rather rhetorical questions for the brown genocide crowd.

Being xenophobic and an extreme-NIMBYist is not the same as advocating brown genocide.

Bordering on this though:

He's certainly not against killing them, so if it comes down to that or some perceived disadvantage to the master race.

I sure miss the days when race baiting wasn't tolerated around here. You take the cake, in that department.

Are you arguing what's said is untrue or just unkind?

These ideologies are nothing new, and certainly nobody would accuse that lot of novel thinking. For example, a story making the rounds with the intl brotherhood of right wingers yesterday was some Roma squatting in a vacated residence in Denmark or something. Their response was basically the same as anything involving refugees, and same as their predecessors in the reich which led to categorizing gypsies with the other less desirable peoples.

ah, this canard again. Don't you ever get tired of re-using the same defeated defense of your puppet?

This is a muslim ban.

List of majority muslim countries excluded from the travel ban:

Afghanistan
Albania
Algeria
Azerbaijan
Bahrain
Bangladesh
Bosnia-Herzegovina
Brunei
Burkina Faso
Chad
Comoros
Dijbouti
Egypt
Gambia
Guinea
Indonesia
Iraq
Jordan
Kazakhstan
Kosovo
Kuwait
Krygyzstan
Lebanon
Maldives
Mali
Mauritania
Mayotte
Morocco
Niger
Oman
Pakistan
Qatar
Saudi Arabia
Senegal
Sierra Leone
Tajikistan
Tunisia
Turkey
Turkmenistan
Uzbekistan
Western Sahara
and I believe even the Palestinian territories.

No, the countries on the list were countries that were screwed up by the obama administration... with the exception of Iran (which benefitted greatly from the obama white house) which has been called the largest exporter of terrorism. But yeh.... it is a ban on Muslims.

It's really too bad Giuliani spilled the beans that the EO was formulated just so that dumbshits can pretend with some righteous indignation + plausible deniability it's not a muslim ban.

I mean, it's real obvious your sorts are rather happy with this, which is a pretty big first clue.

It is real obvious your sorts were rather happy with the way obama toppled governments. Look at libya as a prime example. It is now a failed state.... one that it's citizens once enjoyed FREE medical care. Now we have to deal with refugees... a lot of whom probably are pretty pissed at the U.S.

So yes I am very pleased that the current administration has decided to temporarily halt immigration from that failed state until it is determined how to vet people who want to leave the destruction. We simply cannot rely on a barely functioning government in Libya to provide an meaningful data on people.

It's almost like when the person who effectively wrote the order comes out and says 'This is how we figured out we could implement a ban on Muslims' people take him at his word.

So yeah, it's a ban on Muslims. This isn't exactly rocket science.

This is an interesting bit of logic. Is this something you would do, if you had to take refuge: you'd go to one of the furthest countries from your home as well as a country that you are pissed off with?

Yeah it's real sad that centrists are half conservative. It really is an ideology that ruins everything when it's not busy blaming all its woes on lower status browns.
