    stupidity and obliviousness is all on your end. as per typical.

    read posts more carefully, contribute something useful but better yet actually contribute some $$$ to a website for once. freeloaders are the worst

    EDIT: Unverified Twitter post.

    Interesting some Trump supporters are getting buyers remorse when it begins to personally affect them.

    There is buyer's remorse with every President-- thus their approval ratings tend to be highest early in their terms. It's probably a bit unusual for the remorse to start this early, though.

    Yea I'm honestly tempted to just delete so as not to risk fake news. From what I read the account was legitimate and the lady started acting nuts so her account got suspended. Could have been she was hacked or she just decided to go out with a bang on Twitter. Either way it's unverified. Plenty of legit reasons already to upset with Trump. No need to add more with fake news stories.

    This ban is to create some fear and test water. There will be more like this.

    The goal is to eliminate all immigrants, all dissidents and all lefts who are labeled mental illness already by mimicking Nazi, or in his word, making America great again.

    Looking forward to something new for next week. cheers

    Number of terrorist acts from those countries post 9/11 - 0

    Countries training and harboring Al-Qaeda -
    Afghanistan & Pakistan
    Countries involved in the worst Terrorist attack in our Soil - Saudi Arabia, Egypt, EAU

    We can go back and forth with this but to place an executive order like this and clearly leave off countries who have the closest ties to these terrorists makes 0 sense no matter what side of the fence you are.

    Hell, one of the countries on the list, Iran, is actually fighting ISIS.

    The terrorists communities that we are trying to save our country from are probably laughing at us at this moment. I can't understand how a lot of the people in the White House and even Trump bring up examples of how we have to stop 9/11 or what happened in San Bernadino and none of the countries from 9/11 are on the list and San Bernadino was from Pakistan if I recall correctly.

    If we can realize that Trump et al. do not want the anti-Muslim war ever to end, then this move makes total sense.

    War is an awesome business to be in, and Trump is Business Dude #1.

    Saudi Arabia doesn't have travel bans in place because they are going to help set up safe zones in syria

    Trump is about to annihilate ISIS guys

    This travel ban is a necessary precautionary step. Everything is being formulated and prepped, such as this travel ban in war zone countries/terrorist harbor Iran and deals with Saudi Arabia for help with safe zones etc..

    it's funny, Trump has done everything he has said he would do so far.

    He is setting the board to have a quick destruction of ISIS.

    Maybe you missed the memo but..
    Trump gives Pentagon 30 days to develop strategy to defeat ISIS in Iraq & Syria

    Trump then instituted a travel ban for 90 days in warzone or terrorist harboring countries, because as ISIS gasps it's last breath and goes for one last 'hoorah' moment these countries pose a risk

    The countries like Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries not in the ban, its because Trump has been negotiating with them to set up 'Safe Zones' in Syria and other warzone countries in anticipation of the upcoming destruction of ISIS
    Saudi king agrees in call with Trump to support Syria, Yemen safe zones: White House
    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-saudi-idUSKBN15D14L


    But yes continue on with your Fake news and Fake outrage while Trump continues to set the board to follow through on yet another campaign promise

    Lol at 'setting the board' for destroying ISIS after they were just overun from their number one stronghold, Mosul, which had NOTHING to do with the Trump administration.

    We don't have an open border policy. We do have a policy of allowing people in, through a lawful process, where at time we make some exceptions for political or humanitarian reasons.

    Do we ban Cubans from coming in? No. Do we ban Muslim from coming in? Yes, we do now.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/13/cuba-immigration-wet-foot-dry-foot-policy. For most Cubans, there is no lawful process to get to the US. that's why we had the policy. They are screwed now.

    No we don't. show me that piece of legislation.

    No im not. where did I say that? I am saying where is your concern over all the Cubans who would be in this country legally if not for the repeal by Obama just 2 weeks ago. These people are now stranded in Central America mostly. No protests for them? You only rally when you're told to?

    Im also not sure you understand why we had wet foot dry foot. Cuba does not usually allow it citizens to leave. They have no legal way to get here, that's why we treated them differently. Now they are screwed
