Yes, but then we'd all be children of Ishmael, so.... not sure that's a solution. Let's get rid of monotheism once and for all.

How about "Donald Trump's 'extreme vetting' sees five-year-old boy detained for hours at airport"?

Sorry it's the best I could do. I know what you mean though, we're a little spoiled in the current climate. Makes me wonder how we put up with Obama for so many years. Smiley: oyvey

Clearly the child was part of a terrorist cell determined to leave legos on the floor.

When you're eating caviar out of a rat's anus in the bombed out shell of an old Harrod's, it really puts in perspective quite how little phrasing matters.

No, he actually called out Christians as having been treated "very terribly" or some such, even though they have in fact enjoyed some protection under Assad, and said that allowing them in would be prioritized. Over whom else but Muslims?


I think this is a case where political correctness makes real world decision making more difficult than it should be. We're left in the astounding situation where we know that the terrorists coming from the set of nations in question are all operating under a radical version of Islam, yet we're not allowed to make the most obvious first pass selection based on "are you a Muslim from <country on list>" when making vetting decisions for visas, immigration, or refugee status. Because.... well... it's just "wrong". Or something.

I know it's horribly un-PC, but one of the defining characteristics of being a radical Islamic terrorist is being a follower of Islam. It's not like anyone's proposing loading everyone who's Muslim into cargo cars and shipping them off to detention centers or anything. Focusing your vetting attention on people who are Islamic when looking for radical members of that religion isn't exactly a silly way to go about this. What's silly is wasting vetting efforts on people who can't possibly be members of said terrorist organizations, but we feel like we have to anyway so as not to appear to be profiling or whatever.

And so we use some silly linguistic tap dance to pretend we're not actually doing exactly what we are doing. Just like always.


Um.. the issue stems from the broad language used and lack of, apparently, any input from stakeholders. Customs officers can already do a lot if they are so inclined. ****, they held my sibling at Ohare and she had a green card ( and that was under Obama's reign of terror btw ). The order seems to be giving them a practical carte blanche to a host of enforcement agencies, which is, for ANY enforcement unit, close to full blown retarded ( absolute power and all that ). That is why it is being opposed. No sane individual opposes it, because it hurts someone's feelings.

The fact that you seem to want to portray it as such worries me a little.

Everything else appears to be an amusing attempt at distraction. This is not a ban! Don't call it that. It is merely a temporary travel restriction. Look here! We got you a new supreme court nominee.

As for vetting, it is yet another distraction, as many a legal alien will tell you, since actual vetting process is a *****. I know, because I remember the hoops I had to jump through -- and that was before 9/11.

tldr - this eo is bs and a simple love letter to base; i am not sure why u even try to defend it

Because despite lying about it earlier in the campaign, gbaji supports Trump. He is his dream candidate, and he loves him.

Man he gets a script? WTF? That's just plain unfair to us who have to ad lib all our content. Or is this why people go join political parties? It does seem much simpler.

For a real talking point though, people in Berkley need to calm the **** down. I'm all for protests and marches and whatnot but let's try and keep the looting and burning things to a minimum please? Trying to have a civilization over here.

Well if the people of Berkley start starving to death too then they're more than welcome to transition to more desperate measures. Until then though can we please stick to things like voting, making donations, writing congressmen, and signing petitions? It would be much appreciated.

To be fair, the looters and burners were masked. Hard to know whose they were.

Therefore, until I'm proven wrong, I'm calling it a false flag. Because Jade Helm, that's why.

I really liked the part where a guy pepper sprayed a woman for wearing a Trump hat, then ran away. That'll sure convince the voting populace to tilt your way!

'S right. Gotta make it convincing, I mean, who would believe a fellow Trumpster would throw somebody under the bus like that?
