John McCain - Drumpf's Muslim ban Will help recruit terrorists

[DemocratSinceBirth]

McCain has gone the furthest of any Republican in condemning Trump's #MuslimBan, openly saying it WILL HELP ISIS RECRUIT TERRORISTS

Senator McCain, you are an eighty year old man who spent five years in the Hanoi Hilton with broken bones that were never properly set and now you can't raise your arms to comb your own hair. There is nothing the DEPLORABLES can do that is worse.

We disagree with you on so many things but we ask you to stand with us against Deplorabilism.

1. Rare agreement

Sad when McAnus becomes a voice of reason. Remains to be seen whether there's any follow-through.

2. I used to call him John McInsane and Mitt Romney Mitt Rmoney.

I am willing to let bygones be bygones if they ally with me against Drumpf.

3. Big 'if' there

Past performance doesn't inspire me.

4. Thats their plan, McCain

Reichstag fire.

Get it John?

5. So what's he going to do about it?

The Democrats have no power. If McCain feels strongly about it, words aren't enough. He needs to step up.

8. The Senate Democrats DO HAVE POWER

Senate Democrats have a powerful tool at their disposal, if they choose to use it, for resisting a president who has no mandate and cannot claim to embody the popular will. That tool lies in the simple but fitting act of withholding consent. An organized effort to do so on the Senate floor can bring the body to its knees and block or severely slow down the agenda of a president who does not represent the majority of Americans.

The procedure for withholding consent is straightforward, but deploying it is tricky. For the Senate to move in a timely fashion on any order of business, it must obtain unanimous support from its members. But if a single senator objects to a consent agreement, McConnell, now majority leader, will be forced to resort to time-consuming procedural steps through the cloture process, which takes four days to confirm nominees and seven days to advance any piece of legislation — and that’s without amendment votes, each of which can be subjected to a several-day cloture process as well.

6. Plus it's not hard to claim you're a Christian. Find a Bible-carrying missionary and get dunked.

Sheer idiocy.

7. When Mitch McConnell says sit, McCain will sit.

Senators McCain, Graham, and Collins like to pose as moderates, but every Senate vote deemed essential by McConnell will be supported by all three.

9. Yup.

10. On NPR, a British official said essentially the same thing. If anybody

remembers his name, please help me out here.

11. No Doubt

This is a perfect recruitment angle for terrorists. But head Nazi Bannon and Orange Guy will never understand that.

[NightWatcher]

12. They want an attack here to green light Uber Fascism

And they way they're going, it will happen soon. If it doesn't, I'm sure Bannon will make it happen.
