...that they don't lift a finger to help any other day of the year.

Fuck them, they are being mean and would have done the same thing back in 1939 when we sent back shiploads of Jews to Europe and their death at the hand of the Nazis. And when they claim to be christians on top of it all, they are doing what the guy they claim to follow would've never done.

The president has no choice but get on tv and discuss this when he gets back. He did it with ACA and other things. I am sure his advisors are getting the planning started as we speak.
