(2,189 posts)They should be worried about us expelling their violent and parasitic asses, not us worrying about them seceding.
They can install Trump as their emperor if they like, too. We'll take the sane refugees.

or a friend?) ... I love that it's self-inflicted! What an idiot!
Also, this is simple to understand and those citizens/constituents to a person will see the mistake clearly. Who's going to defend him? It's not partisan! Most everyone will be offended, disgusted and pissed!

because a pre-planned trip to Cancun was cancelled by the weather. But they're aged 10 and 13 -- it's not as though he and his wife would have been helping to chaperone a handful of high-schoolers.
He's finally gotten around to admitting he made a mistake -- we ALL make mistakes. But there are mistakes (such a dropping a baseball when the bases are loaded), and then there are mistakes (such as trying to steal a base when the bases are loaded).
