If having a favorable view of Shitler is required to stay in the U.S., only 36% of us would be allowed to stay. Also , this jibes with this Guardian article of people trying to cross the Canadian border to attend the Women's March.

After an attempted crossing late Thursday, Montreal resident Joseph Decunha said he was also turned away. He and the two Americans he was with told the border agent that they were planning to attend the inauguration and the women’s march.


The group was brought in for secondary processing, where the border agent asked about their political views, Decunha told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. “The first thing he asked us point blank is, ‘Are you anti- or pro-Trump?’”

After being fingerprinted and photographed he was told that his two friends could enter the US, but that he could not. “They told me I was being denied entry for administrative reasons. According to the agent, my travelling to the United States for the purpose of protesting didn’t constitute a valid reason to cross,” Decunha said.

He described the experience – particularly the questions he fielded about his political beliefs – as concerning. “It felt like, if we had been pro-Trump, we would have absolutely been allowed entry.”

4. This question was also asked of Canadians coming across the border to attend

the Women's March according to the Guardian. They were denied entry, too.

7. Presumably "President Trump is the greatest thing since sliced bread" was the

answer authorities are looking for.

8. "He's the greatest , best President in the whole world and I admire him bigly"

Seriously, this is Nazi bs.

5. Were they asked in German?

Seems like a question by the 4th Reich.

9. Yes, it does. Bannon probably wrote up the order.

Germany could become the default leader of the Free World, with us in sick bed for 4 years from eating shit.

10. If this is about keeping America safe, shouldn't the question be

What are your views on America?

It's pretty obvious what their views on trump would be after this.

12. the sickest part of this- did the eo really have this much detail? did this come from

the top, or the bottom?

17. Bannon is my guess.

13. Omg

14. This story is referring to Canadians trying to come for the women's march, not Muslims detained at a

Not that this is not still fucking deplorable.

16. Yes, I clarified that in my sentence above the article. It shows that questioning people's

support of Trump has happened before if they want to gain entry to this country.

[smirkymonkey]

15. I just really fucking can't believe this is happening.

He's been in office just over ONE week and we have already turned into a nightmarish dystopia.

How bad can it get?
