Were you not saying Paris, Brussels, Manchester, Nice, San Bernandino, Orlando were citizens who attacked because they hated their own government?
sounds like they hated their mosques too but tsa is going to keep ignoring that just like he ignores white gun nuts who commit mass murderer.
is there any doubt this asshole would be fully on board with full scale muslim concentration camps? assuming russia supported it first of course
Pootin has huge problem with Muslims along his southern border. eg, see how Russia destroyed Muslim Chechnya.
it's all good until the US is asked to pay reparations 30 years from now... then they're welfare queens!
Which SCOTUS justices will support the ban? I figure 5-4 against the ban, with the usual 4 being reliably for it.
BS. If they strike it down he'll take it. You don't win every fight. [They'll] tote up the ciphers & make notes. Trump is making people {vote} on issues and questions. That way EVERYBODY knows where EVERYBODY stands and the electorate can effect at election time. That's his business a en in action. Like the "Godfather"---"It's not personal, it's business."
Trump President. Not Clinton.
WH fixed the wording after being struck down. I don't see how it doesn't hold up in the Supreme Court.
yeah, i also thought the 2nd version (while a ty policy) would hold up, but i guess they're still trying to cling to the intent behind it. the burden on the govt is pretty high when a fundamental right like religion is at play, though. there is a standing issue if they go the religion route, though, since the alleged discrimination would be for people not in the US.
curious to see how the court works through it (assuming SCOTUS decides to take it)
It will be interesting indeed
Yes, or they were crazy. My theory holds up just fine.
Most people think these terrorists are monsters. But you get the occasional Dale who thinks the likes of McVeigh are heroes, right Thread?
Absolutely.
Trump tweeted give us our rights back
LOL thinking this travel ban is about protecting Americans when it doesn't apply to Saudi Arabia.
good thing we just made a new deal to sell them a load of weapons
i wonder if Chris is following the money yet
Two scoops, two terms brah.
6-3 against the ban.
The ban is stupid, not because of the original idea but because of the sorriness of the details.
If Trump wants to be REALLY effective in cutting down on potential terrorist refugees/immigrants, he needs to include other countries in the ban, especially Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the like. Those nations harbor the worst Sunni jihadis because of the endemic nature of all-powerful Sharia law in such nations, particularly Saudi Arabia, which was home to nearly all of the 9/11 perpetrators including Bin Laden himself.
This, times a million.
Saudistan is the birthplace of Al-Qaeda and is the motherland of a large chunk of ISIS members as well.
Meanwhile, when is the last time an Iranian "terrorist" has ever done a suicide bomb, or shot up a venue in the name of Allah? They don't. The Persians are reasonable, even the more conservative ones, but the vast majority of the millennial generation in Iran is very liberal and open-minded if not agnostic. Unfortunately the laws are still controlled by the old revolutionary generation that hated the Shah as young adults and brought back Islamic law to Iran in the form of Ayatollah reign, but that generation is (fortunately) slowly but surely dying out. On the positive side, these religious nutjobs aren't likely candidates for jihad (the Sunnis, and terrorist masterminds in general always use the young ones as militants), and you don't see much jihad in Shia Islam to begin with.
But why risk damaging our relationship with Saudi-Wahhabi-Salafistan and all the Sunni Islamic nutjobs there when they supply us ****OMG TEH CHEAP OILZ!!!!11!1!!one!!!****
100 billion dollar weapons deal with saudi arabia and then acting like we need to take drastic measures to stop islamist soldiers
even saint reagan was perfectly willing to work with iran as long as they were willing to pay for weapons
Why do you think ISIS has $2-3 billion?
1/3 of ISIS and Al-Qaeda militants come out of Saudistan, the homeland of original terrorist cult engineer Muhammad himself.
Think about that next time you put that $50 worth of gas into your SUV at 7-Eleven.
Trump's greatest feat would be to renounce our alliance with Saudi Arabia and designate them pariah status for their open and large-scale support of regional and global jihad. I'd rather trade with Iran at this point, dead serious.
I do blame whoever it was who got the original brilliant idea to trade money for oil with Saudi-terrorstan in the first place. Who was that... Jimmy Carter? Lyndon Johnson? Let me find out.
I just want .25 cent a gallon gasoline again. I still recall it at .17 in the late 60's.
Weren't you supposed to be in Nam in the late 60s?
No, I was in the bush in the early '70's.

Saudi Prince Declares Trump a ‘True Friend of Muslims,’ Expresses Support for Travel Ban
Following a successful meeting between Donald Trump and his senior advisor, the Saudi Arabian Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman described Trump as a “true friend of Muslims,” adding that he respects and supports Trump’s travel ban for people from seven terror prone Muslim majority countries.
The Prince’s senior advisor, who attended the White House on his behalf, said in a statement that the meeting was a “huge success” that marked a historic turning point in the bilateral relations [between the] two countries.”
On the subject of Trump’s proposed travel ban, which a federal judge in Hawaii blocked yesterday, the Prince argued that “the measure is a sovereign decision aimed at preventing terrorists from entering the United States of America.”
The statement added that Trump had expressed his “deep respect for the Religion of Islam”:
Prince Mohammed considers his Excellency [Trump] as a true friend of Muslims who will serve the Muslim World in an unimaginable manner, opposite to the negative portrait of his Excellency [Trump] that some have tried to promote whether through publishing unjust statements that are taken out of their context or by means of unrealistic media commentaries and analyses about his Excellency.
In addition to clarifying Trump’s at udes towards Islam, the pair also discussed Saudi investment in America, with the Prince crediting Trump for improving America’s economic climate.
“Many of the economic files between the two countries have been discussed. They included huge Saudi investments in the United States of America in addition to exceptionally and largely providing American companies with the opportunities to enter the Saudi market. This would not have been achieved without President Trump’s efforts to improve the climate for investments inside the United States of America,” the statement read.
Trump and the Prince’s advisor also discussed the efficacy of border walls, with the Prince outlining the successfulness of building a wall on the Saudi-Iraqi border, adding his only regret was that he did construct a wall on the Yemenis border as well:
Both sides discussed the Saudi successful experience in building a fence on the Saudi-Iraqi border, which led to preventing illegal entrance of individuals, as well as preventing smuggling operations. Prince Mohammed expressed his regrets that Saudi Arabia did not apply this experience earlier on the Saudi-Yemeni border, noting that the success of the northern border experience will accelerate applying it on the Saudi southern border.
In the run-up to last year’s Presidential election, Trump repeatedly criticized Hillary Clinton’s close relations with Saudi Arabia, advising her to return the money her foundation received from Saudi donors.
“So Hillary thinks they are funding ISIS, but still takes their money. And you know their views on gays. And you know their views on women. I think she should give back the $25 to $35 million she’s taken from Saudi Arabia. And she should give it back fast,” he said at the time.
However, Trump equally supported retaining Saudi Arabia as an ally and even suggested the country should develop nuclear weapons to fend off any potential threat from Iran.
