TRUMP’S NEW TRAVEL ORDER LOOKS BULLETPROOF

 

President Trump rescinded his original travel order today, and replaced it it with a new one that is tailored to meet the legal objections that the first order encountered.

 

The order is generally similar to the first one, but Iraq is now treated differently from the other six countries of concern. The order retains the 50,000 refugee ceiling for the current year. It adds language that explains the logic of the order, cites constitutional and statutory authority, and negates the criticism that it is directed at Muslims.

WaPo’s Ignatius: 300 Possible Terrorists Travel Ban Would Have Stopped is a ‘Tiny Number’

 

How many terrorists and terrorist attacks in the US are acceptable to David Ignatius?

 

For David Ignatius, what is an acceptable number of terrorists and terrorist attacks in the United States? The question arises because on today’s Morning Joe, Ignatius, of the Washington Post, was discussing the Trump admin statement that since 9/11, 300 people admitted from countries on the reissued executive order have been subject to “criminal, counter-terrorism investigations.”

 

Sniffed Ignatius: that’s a “tiny number.” Really? If those 300 had not been caught up in counter-terrorism investigations, how many would have carried out terrorist attacks?

 

If only 1-in-20 had, that would be 15 terrorist attacks. Fifteen San Bernadinos, Pulses. Even one. Tiny?

May I say, as a 10-year army vet who was deployed to Iraq in 03-04 and 05-06, and as a man with a degree in the history of western civilizations....I in no way desire to take in any refugees.

We took you in.

So Muslim travel ban 2.0 didn't get the big televised Trump roll out like 1.0. So when he has to admit he was wrong he leaves it to his minions to make the presentation. A Rex Tillerson sighting, after breaking precedent and being a no-show last week for the State Dept. annual human rights report. Muslim travel ban 2.0 won't take effect until March 16 (assuming it's now constitutional), and now doesn't include Iraq. So based on Trump's previous statements on the urgency of the issue, we should expect some bad dudes coming into the country this week.

Get off the computer and go riot you poser

Um...I have no idea what you're talking about. However, I just found out there was a political board here.

 

I read what y'all wrote but I never posted much because I knew the people at BBMB better.

 

But now that I found out there's a section for politics...I love this place!

There's definitely an acclamation period before you get used to things here, but once you get the flow it's pretty cool.
