Only to be filibustered in the Senate by 41 Donkeys.

You think congressional laws will stop a rogue president with a pen and a cellphone? They had better do more than that!

B...b...but The Won has a pen and a phone! He doesn’t have to listen to Congress (especially when they say mean stuff he doesn’t like)! I’m actually only partly joking. They better be ready to make this stick.

I wish I knew more about how your system operated. I just read on Breitbart that Obama is claiming victory, and the refugee immigration may proceed.

Paul Ryan already said he won’t stop the refugees, so he knows this is going nowhere.

Or if it does pass the Senate, the king will veto it, after which congress will crawl back under its rock.

Problem is it only refers to Iraq and Syria...can they just waltz over to Turkey and then start their grand entrance from there?

Although, it’s a positive start....I hope.

This is so bizarre...they have totally ruined their own countries so we’re supposed to let in the people who have totally ruined their own countries. Like the rats escaping to red states and then voting in blue state policies. Makes no sense.

Yes. And we should thank Donald Trump.
Win or lose he's knocked the pins out from under the GOPe leviathan and it's beginning to wobble.

This is not something the know RINO’s are going to back the rats on. No way, no how. You add Manchin and the others who are up for reelection and you will get 60.

In discussing this, every Republican needs to get up in the Senate Chamber and say, “if you want to vote this down, commit right now to relocating these refugees to your state and districts. The signup sheet is at the door.”

"Yes. And we should thank Donald Trump. "

I agree.

I haven't felt so hopeful in decades.

Go Trump Go!

The House needs to step it up and write a bill blocking visas from people belonging to organizations with standing declarations of war against us. They also need to revoke visas and citizenship and deport these same peoples already here.

Even Dems voted to swat down Skippy because they are up in 2016, and were afraid not to. All Dems, especially Senators up in 2016, need to be encouraged in this fear—by Capitol switchboard melt-down.

Congress is afraid of what the folks at home are thinking as they watch the news, as 0bama's world spins out of control. This is the time for the folks at home to answer that question, with prejudice.
