Cable news might be dominated by scenes of angry liberals chanting cult-like mantras in airports, but Rasmussen Polls reveals the silent majority of Americans approve of President Trump’s immigration ban by nearly two-to-one.  The vast majority of likely voters (57%) approve of President Trump’s temporary halt to refugees and visitors from several Middle Eastern and African countries until the government can do a better job of keeping out individuals who are terrorist threats. Only 33% oppose and 10% are undecided.

Having backtracked on its proposal to ban green card holders from 7 mostly Muslim countries from entering the US, it now appears that the Trump admin has softened its stance regarding the admission of refugees, and according to Reuters, citing an internal DHS document, the U.S. government has granted waivers to let 872 refugees into the country this week, despite Trump's executive order on Friday temporarily banning entry of refugees from any country.

In protest of President Trump's Executive Order on immigration, Starbucks - the emplo?yee abusing, non-organic M?ilk using, GMO Ped?dling, former TP?P Negotiating, Ethiopian farmer scr?ewing coffee company has decided to try it's hand at "Conscious Capitalism" by announcing a plan to hire 10,000 refugees worldwide over the next 5 years - depriving jobs to 10,000 citizens of each country.

This isn't the first time Starbucks and Trump supporters have been at odds;

The mindlessness is unbearable.

Amnesty International tells us that we must “fight the Muslim ban” because Trump’s bigotry is wrecking lives.

 

Anthony Dimaggio at CounterPunch says Trump should be impeached because his Islamophobia is a threat to the Constitution.

This is not to single out these two as the mindlessness is everywhere among those whose worldview is defined by Identity Politics.
