"SNIP.............


While many Republican politicians are trying to distance themselves from Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. (or returning when they travel abroad), right wing talk show hosts are taking a different approach, by minimizing, making excuses, or arguing that Trump has a point that we should be seriously considering. On “The Sean Hannity Show” Tuesday, Hannity advanced a Trump-supportive argument that was breathtaking in its hypocrisy: That Muslims should be barred from the country unless they can prove they are liberal enough

That being said, as someone who was waterboarded as part of my military BUAF (behind enemy lines, evade, attack, escape) (different language)...i'm ok with doing this to Sean should he still be interested, i even guarantee no safe words and a minimum of 10 minutes of 'treatment' i believe the word our instructors used since he's a civilian i figure less than half of a furriner wimpy army demand he can do.
