Con artist to courts: I didn't mean what I said

[someoneyouknow]

On a day which saw the firing of FBI directory James Comey, a reporter at the daily alternative facts briefing asked a seemingly innocent question: "Why does the president's website still explicitly call for 'preventing Muslim immigration?'"

The Reich's propaganda minister replied, in his best astonished voice, he was "not aware of what's on the campaign website."

Miraculously, immediately following the question, the page in question disappeared from the web site. However, thanks to the marvels of technology, the statement in question has been preserved for all eternity:

So what does this have to do with the courts? The con artist has twice lost in his attempts to ban people from six Middle Eastern countries from entering this country, claiming they pose a threat to this country despite not a single terrorist attack in this country being carried out by anyone from those countries.

On Monday, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals referenced that very page and asked why the con artist had never repudiated said statements. To which the Acting Solicitor General replied in his best attorney voice:

"This is not a Muslim ban. Its text doesn't have to anything to do with religion. Its operation doesn't have anything to do with religion."

On top of which, the con artist has argued any statement he made while on the campaign trail should not be considered in determining the legality of his attempted ban. In other words, the con artist, in true con artist fashion, is saying he should be free to lie his fat, orange ass off just so he can elected.

Which seems par for the course since he has not fulfilled a single "promise" he made while on the campaign trail.

It seems only Nixon can rival his paranoia.

I'm still all for banning muslim immigration. It's not a right to get into our country, it's a privilege. If you want to appease your sense of fairness, stop all immigration. Now everyone can be offended and no group is shown more offense than another.

There used to be talk years and years ago about banning or limiting Asian immigrants. Not too long ago they even put them in detention camps.

Trump just finally came to see the light. He realized that America is a country which is accepting of... well.... everybody!

I think we should be tolerant of all Muslims and allow them to come to America. They'll teach women here what a real misogynistic, rape culture is. Oh, and statutory rape will be wiped off the books because we're tolerant of their prophet.

And the most dangerous gangsters in Baltimore will seem like a pure angel in comparison. Besides, cops will be too busy playing clean-up crew for all the normal Muslim traditions.

But don't worry, guys. You can still ban guns. They use small blades to behead you. No gun needed!

Oh, and you will never see a white supremacist again! Also, I would even shut up! I would never say a word. I'd be too scared of getting... punched in the face... or getting decapitated. Because, you know, free speech is speech that comes with consequences.

We are America. We are tolerant. The only thing we're not tolerant of is intolerance. We accept everybody, no matter what they believe, into our country. That's what makes us the greatest country on Earth.

(Ironically, all the black people would fly to Africa and the Mexicans will run back to Mexico and build a wall to prevent Americans from crossing the boarder.)

If Asians were a national security threat, then the safety of our country overrides hurt feelings. Have you seen Paris recently? Most of them are not terrorists but they are taking over. I am against that happening in our country. You can point out several examples of unfair treatment, but we are talking about people who want to kill us.

I'm so glad the memory of Daniel Pearl is as lost as his head.

Iggied for being an ignorant bigot.

You seem confused. Terrorists are the people who want to kill us, and you just said most of them are not terrorists.
