Of course.
Have you seen the mummified cat artifact in Civ6?
That's actually Schrodinger's ex-cat.
Again, are you certain of that?
 
Einstein was both white and Swiss-German. He wouldn't have been affected by this order.
 
Well yes, but not St. Augustine of Hippo, both of whom were notable for their desire to visit the United States. :p

He was a Jew. Back when he came to the US that was as bad as being a Muslim now.

How is that any different from Americans loving their military which has created more than its share of refugees in the Middle East?
 
Many of the people who have fled the Middle East in the past ten years (including many who helped destabilize Syria, not intentionally or anything, but these are reasons invading Iraq was a bad idea) were refugees from the Americans. Presumably, in the United States, there is much "sympathy and support" for the American military, not so?
