That list of GOPers are against Trump for the Muslim ban, however, they'll still vote in favor of Trump's appointees for Cabinet positions. 

 

While I've never cared for John McCain's politics, I've always had some respect for him. I lost it when he didn't speak out against Trump once Trump dissed him about being captured. Instead, he fell in line with him and will do so going forward. 

Don't know if someone post this article or not but Vox has released a list of all the GOP in Congress & Senate, who have taken a stance on the Muslim ban:

I suggest calling those f-ckers in your state and chewing their ears off. I plan on doing so with those in GA.

^ I don't think much of Republicans on domestic social issues, but this EO goes to the core of American values.  I'm not that surprised that some of them are standing against this. I'm glad, but it's only one of the terrible issues coming our way.  Every day it's some new nightmare. I guess I'll have to call Sasse tomorrow and thank him for doing something decent though.

Yes, when I read about it, I couldn't help but feel demoralized. Just seems too much, that it happens just after the PM of Canada declared the country open and welcome to those turned away by the U.S. The timing is uncanny.

People in their houses of worship are vulnerable as well all saw illustrated in the massacre in the Mother Emmanuel AME Church in SC. Just like in SC, I hope there is justice and comfort for these victims, the survivor and their families.

    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.

    • Lunacy has enough money to buy stylish clothes, hair/make-up, an apartment, a weapon and get custom, glossy posters targets. OK. 
    • For some reason I thought Sly had already passed. A true legend.
