The American Civil Liberties Union has broken its fundraising records after receiving millions in donations in response to backlash over President Trump’s executive order banning people from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the US, according to reports.

The nonprofit organization raked in a total of $24 million from more than 350,000 donations since Saturday, USA Today reported.

“It’s really clear that this is a different type of moment,” ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero told the newspaper. “People want to know what they can do. They want to be deployed as protagonists in this fight. It’s not a spectator sport.”

The Lying Leftist NYPost. They are presumed to be lying and we should assume that what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the NYPost providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

Great! As long as the ACLU, PP, NPR, etc. doesn’t receive any taxpayer money I don’t care how much money they raise from the easily fleeced.

Well there are 6 million Muslims in the U.S. and billions in foreign countries. Simply ban the lawsuits for non U.S. Citizens and move on.

Mostly from Muslims I’ll bet now that the Muzzie have taken over the ACLU. The good news is, the snowflakes have to be going bankrupt donating to all of these anti-American causes and organizations. Those not already on welfare will be needing it in the near future if this keeps up.

Looks like the same Soros bots that funded Stein’s “recount” have once again been called into action.

The ACLU and millions of MARXIST SOROS-paid RAT protesters are not going to stop Trump. DJT’s real obstacle is the GOPee in Congress. They are so weak kneed, so spine less, such jelly fish there only concern is what the cameras are going to do to their reelection chances; IMHO nothing is going to be passed by Congress that is opposed by their mortal enemy the RAT party. Where are the Tax Cut proposals? Where is the SCOTUSCARE repeal legislation, which the GOP has had 6 years to work on?

These Soros demonstrators are scaring the he$$ out of the GOPee and they will resort to under their desk couching position!!!! I see Juan McStain, his girfriend Linda, and his AZ junior FLAKE are already decided DJT must be stopped.

The ACLU should be considered an anti-government group and listed on the SPLC as a terrorist group... but then again SPLC would have to include themselves.

I wonder if the ACLU is planning on getting involved with the Trump supporter who was knocked unconscious in Portland?
Actually, I'm not wondering - it's a rhetorical question.

The best way to cut the power of corrupt elites is do away with tax deductible donations to non-profits.

That ‘deduction’ is how global elites do their damage. If Soros and friends want to destroy the power of everyday people let them do it on their own dime.

Money isn’t a problem for the left. Understandable since money is the root of all evil. Evil people have been collecting it for a long time. Christians have God and He is better than money any day. We if Christian are told to stand. That is what we did by electing Donald Trump and what we should continue to do.
