Trump’s travel ban derails dreams of Bay Area bride-to-be
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | February 11, 2017 | Sarah Ravani

When Afsaneh got a call from her local bridal shop in San Jose letting her know that the simple, ruffled, elegant gown she had carefully chosen weeks ago was ready for pickup, she was excited that the final pieces of her spring wedding were falling into place.

Within a week of the call, President Trump signed an executive order temporarily banning travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries, including one where she emigrated from in her early 20s and where her fiance, Sepehr, lives: Iran.

What the hell is that? Too me that looks like a KKK wedding of some sort.

I bet Obama destroyed a lot of TaxPayer’s vacations, weddings, food budgets and of course their healthcare when his Obamacare caused their perfectly fine health insurance to predictably get cancelled and then reinstated with a new policy because the cancelled one didn’t exist anymore AND that caused their deductibles to go from maybe $1000 (or less) to astronomical amounts like $4000 per person, or $10,000 for a couple.

So screw this poor bride- no one has a “RIGHT” to even VISIT America, wedding or not. Go get married someplace else; unlike Obama we don’t care about “Islam’s great contributions to America” -’helping us to become the greatest country in the world’- or some such BS.

What’s she crying about? There is no ban. They knew the ban was coming but didn’t bother getting their act together before it was written. Now that it’s been shot down, again, why isn’t he here? Maybe he doesn’t want to marry her. And why is she calling Turkey if he’s in Iran? Or is this more fake news.

Awwwww ... poor Ass-a-ninny. Now she’ll have to go back to Goathumpastan to get married. And beaten. And circumcised. And stoned to death for something or other.

The political right needs to be pumping out the personal narratives, too, to challenge stories like this. The family who lost a child to Islamic terrorism, the people threatened by Muslim refugees (Edmonton mall indoor water park assaults by a Syrian refugee last week), etc.

Not even fake news. Just a reporter's wet dream posing as news.

Oh, stop! I can’t bear the tears!

Tell her to put on her burka and go back to Iran to marry her fiance.

Or perhaps the woman described here does not even exist. Doesn’t matter to the MSM. Whatever advances their narrative is fair game.
