I could not possibly agree more with Keith here. Donald Trump’s executive order barring Muslim refugees from entering the United States is an un-American abomination. Donald Trump is disgracing the office of the presidency.
And it took 4 years and a successful reelection bid for people to get to the point of apologizing for Dubya.
If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the “bad” would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad “dudes” out there!

Anyone think anything like Olbermann making these vidoes means anything to an arrogant ignoramus like Trump?
He probably thinks he is getting over on the likes of a Keith Olbermann. He gets to show all those “cool” kids who’s large and in charge now. He gets to put all those New Yorkers and Hollywood types in place.
“Laugh at me now” he is most likely saying to himself. You know he thinks he is getting over on Obama for that takedown at the Press Club Dinner. “I’ll show you!”
And you know a whole lot of conservatives probably love to hear Olbermann and others complain.
They live for petty put down, they live to hurt anyone and anything liberal and progressives.
