chris_gerribSo Donald Trump, the billionaire version of the cranky old man who pontificates from his bar-stool, has announced that we shouldn't let any Muslims into America, apparently including US citizens. I wish I was surprised, but I'm not. It's exactly what that cranky old man who sits at the end of the bar would say.
It is, in short, stupid, at least partially un-Constitutional, wildly out of proportion to the threat, and cowardly. Oh, and since we've got plenty of home-grown non-Muslim nuts with guns, it does less than zero to "keep Americans safe." Less than zero, because it will undoubtedly piss of Americans in-country who can't get their loved ones brought over.
Other than that, it's a great idea, brought to you by a man who bankrupted four casinos.
