This ban didn't but it did affect plenty of people. And the precedent it sets (that Trump can and will ban green card carriers from certain countries entering the country - without warning or consultation) certainly could affect me.

Trump does have a responsibility to keep Americans safe, but the actions he took have very little impact on our national security. We have taken in almost 1 million refugees since 2001 and not one of them has committed a terrorist attack. 2 were arrested for planning to travel to Syria and 1 was arrested for having a semblance of a plan, but there's nothing to suggest the 90 day ban makes America safer.

All his ban does is inconvenience honest people. Why do you value security over liberty?

Anyone that has had a debate about guns should recognize the above 2 sentences, and I would hope they would also recognize any hypocrisy they might be showing.



Of course, Trump won. That was the goal and he did it.

But that said, the fact that he didn't win the popular vote means that there are a ginormous block of American voters who don't want Trump as president (more than who did). As much as we have to come to terms with the fact that Trump became President, you're going to have to come to terms with the fact that Trump is going to meet unparalleled resistance. Call us losers if you want, but that's certainly not going to discourage us.

Someone that doesn't vote is de facto voting for the winner. Every citizen should know this. It is elementary math of decision making in groups. No excuses. The same is true of citizens that did not succeed in motivating enough people to vote.

I didn't call anyone a "loser". What I did say was that they were "bad losers". That is less a question of incidental loss. It is a matter of character. And you are right. Bad losers do tend to go on and on kvetching and bad mouthing. So you might be right on there.

Calling someone a bad loser kinda implies they're a loser.

And as for being a question of character, and bad mouthing? Boo hoo. Find a safe space. People are expressing their right to freedom of speech and expression. Get over it. Your opinion that people's concerns are baseless doesn't invalidate them.

Sean Spicer invents Atlanta terror attack to defend travel ban - NY Daily News



Incredibly insensitive at a time when we're all still grieving over the Bowling Green massacre.

Not sure why this administration can't call this what it is. Radical imaginary terrorism. What a bunch of PC cowards.

In all seriousness, what happened to the days to when we held administrations to standards. These aren't slips of the tongue, they're blatant lies meant to deceive and mislead the American public, and they're coming at a faster and faster rate.

This is laughable. The guy waltzes into office, signs a whole bunch of awful and legally ... dubious EOs, and it's all the fault of those mean liberals who just won't give the guy a chance.
 
Re: Sean Spicer references imaginary Atlanta terror attack to defend Trump's travel b

Little off topic but as a conservative I don't think Spencer is the right guy for this job. Trump needs someone much better, maybe Bush's former press secretary, that hot blond babe.. :)

Con and his alternate facts again. Why do you continue to believe that 911 occurred on Clinton's watch. If you look at a calendar con...you will see that your hero had been President for almost a year. But hey....don't let the truth get in the way of your alternate facts.

911 cost the US Taxpayers over 1 TRILLION dollars according to the GAO and 3000 lives. The training was done in 2000 and we were warned by the 12/98 PDB to Clinton

So how long should people wait before objecting to concrete actions taken by a president? How long did you wait before objecting to actions taken by Obama?

How many of the 9/11 hijackers were from countries listed on Trump's travel ban?

How many were on the list prior to 9/11? There wasn't a travel ban and should have been. Did you read the 12/98 PDB? Pretty clear to me and also pretty clear what Clinton did about it

Did you know that the EOs people are objecting to are different from the EOs Obama issued? It is true!! See, EOs have words on them, that form sentences, and those sentences have meaning. When Trump signs Eos that do good things, I will compliment him on it, and when he signs stupid EOs I will criticize him for it. That is how things work for people not blinded by partisanship...

The EO's Obama issued used USC 1182 as their authority. How were they different? Oh, wait, Obama did it...yeah, ok.
