Ok trump, now it's personal

Trump, you are a dirty bastard. This travel ban for immigrants hits home with me. See, I am married to a wonderful immigrant woman and she has a great immigrant daughter. Neither of them are U.S. citizens but they both love this land more than you ever will. My (step) daughter put her hand over her heart the other night when we went to a hockey game and the anthem was performed. My wife works hard and understands that taxes are supposed to be for schools, roads, etc. But neither of them understands what's going on now. They, and I, am afraid that if and when we travel to their homeland, the Philippines, that they may not be allowed to come back to this home which we have put a lot of work and more importantly, love into.
So trump, you sonofabitch, it is on now. Now it's personal. You mess with them, you mess with me. Resist! Fight! Now, we teach the child non violence, but we will do what we have to do to protect this family. Just sayin'.

This is my country being dismantled. I find it personal.

Of course I know it's not the same as what you are describing. But by the time you're as old as I am, this kind of assault on your county seems personal.

Myself and my Spouse are done with these people. My Spouse like many,has never been or wanted to be a political,after yesterday and Donnie Dingle Berry's so called Executive Muslim Ban. That did it. Our Son has warned us of this happening and he says there is more to come. He is with HLS,and things are hot to say the least.

Most Concerning is the possible Privatizing of several Agencies with replacement personnel being one step below door shakers.

Citizenship and now he wants to play to his hateful base by "banning" certain people. He needs lessons in civics and governing. I wonder how many republicans will be on the talk shows defending him tomorrow.

I feel for you. I'm with you on these issues. dRump is working against everything I've been raised with.

dRump and the GOP will take the country's economy down the drain.

We will be out there in the protest marches and letters to the politicians.

I am a member of the loyal American opposition. dRump, bannon, and flynn have to go. The Russians are not our friends. Likewise, bannon is not a patriot. Flynn is a loose cannon. Put the DOD Secretary and the DNI back on the NSC.

getting her here to the states was going to be a long process as of last year. It's scary what might transpire, since it is a majority muslim state.

I think he has a plan B in which he goes there, which under the circumstances might not be such a bad idea.

Best wishes for your family.

And Obama was PotUS then. Now that twitler has taken over, it may take infinity. Good luck to your nephew. If he has any trouble or simply wants to talk, pm me.
