This is nothing but a Democrat ploy because there are being sore losers. The President has the Constitutional authority to restrict immigration if he feels this impact national security.
Right.. Constitution, discrimination against people of a certain religion aside and whatnot..
Why is he banning people from countries that have not attacked the US?
President Carter had an Iranian travel ban in the late 1970's. The Democrats did not complain about that since one of their own did this.
Have you actually ever read about the Iranian travel ban at that time?
It was not against the whole country, or religion. It was against Iranian students, while Iranian students held Americans hostage in Iran. When the travel ban was broadened, it was in compliance with and part of the sanctions that the US was placing in Iran, due to the hostage crisis.
Do you understand the difference between that and what Trump is trying to do?
The bottom line is, the Democrats have no real power, so all they can do is interfere and delay, using fake news arguments via their propaganda wing.
And yet, Trump cannot get his travel ban to stick and even his own party is turning against him for his false and slanderous accusations against the previous President, not to mention his batshit crazy policies and healthcare plan...
I mean, at this rate, the Democrats don't have to do anything, because it is Trump who's taking his whole administration and party down. The Democrats may not hold the balance of power in Congress, they don't need to. Trump's policies are so unpopular, that they only need to sit back and watch it all crumble around him. And it is.
Their world is changing and Trump is setting the democrat agenda back decades.
He's also setting human rights, scientific research, health care, etc, back decades as well! Yay Trump if you like to get easily preventable communicable diseases like measles spreading through the population (he is anti-vaccination), for example, or if you don't like clean water to drink (he's removing regulations about clean water), if you like smog from cars (he's removing regulations placed on car makers to reduce the emission rates). He's taking you back to the dark ages.
The hope of a world government is gone.
World government?
Let me guess, you are one of those people who thought the UN was taking over the US in "operation jade helm"?
They are hoping to slow Trump down, but he is doing so many things, they can only watch their world collapses.
Watching the US be taken back decades in a bad way, with the risk to health and safety of people being paramount, not to mention going back decades when it comes to human rights, clean air, clean drinking water, etc, is not something to celebrate, wellwisher. I think you'd have to be a moron to find that a good thing.
I agree with this, because there is a better way to do this.
Let's see..
President Donald Trump is proposing to shift oversight of the U.S. air traffic control from the federal government to an independent group, according to budget documents released on Thursday.
Trump, who called the U.S. air traffic control system “obsolete” in a meeting with airline executives last month, is proposing $16.2 billion for the Department of Transportation’s discretionary budget for fiscal year 2018, a reduction of 13 percent.
Yay Trump. Making air travel more expensive and less safe again!
Let me guess, you agree with this too?
The status quo is very inefficient and wasteful. How long have they been working on cancer?
And his proposal is to cut everything and #yolo...
The main problem is the overuse of statistical studies.
Wow..
If you had a rational theory, such as Einstein's relativity, one bad data point is enough to require the theory be revised. So far no such data has been found. With statistical studies, half your data can be bad, and the theory will be allowed to stand. This is a watered down standard of science, which is wasteful.
Again.. wow..
And not in a good way "wow". More in the 'what fresh hell is this?' "wow"..
To put this into perspective, say I came up with a logical theory of weather, where half my data does not correlate. The theory would be called wrong and I would be considered dumb for insisting on this. If I did the same things with statistics, now I can get published. This is shakedown will increase the standard, since less means more for sure things, which are heavily favored by rational arguments.
In a statistical studies, one can find that coffee is good for you based on one set of data. Another study can find the opposite. If I did a logical study and claimed that coffee can be both good and bad for you, depending on the day, I would be called a moron. But with statistical science this is means two published studies. We have too much science that would be called, moron science, in a rational world of science. We need to raise the bar by limiting resources to only the best; rational arguments will finally win.
You do realise that is not how it actually works, yes?
It is not a Muslim ban, Muslims can still come from any Muslim countries, who can screen travel to the USA.
And yet, it is a Muslim ban..
Places like Libya and Syria are in chaos and can't control travel. Once again your arguments are all about distraction, using the con artist skills that are the basis for liberal policies.
Tell me something, if this was about national security, why not place a ban on
Russia? Or Saudi Arabia?
The travel ban will also impact women from Syria, children from Syria, gays from Syria, short people from Syria, obese people from Syria, cross dressing people from Syria, people with handicaps from Syria, etc. Why is this not a female ban since most countries have more women than men? It is all about lawyer tricks, with freedom of religion a possible tactic. Religion is only important to liberals if it can be used a weapon. Liberals never care about religious freedom, useless they can use it like a prop or weapon. The liberal base is so early fooled by dual standards.
He's not banning them because of their sex, sexuality, age. He's banning them because of their religion.
Do you understand how this is unconstitutional?
The Democrats are dinosaurs about to go extinct. They are fighting the dying of the light. But one can smell the death fart.
Meanwhile your President's spokeswoman declared that microwave ovens can be used to "wiretap" Trump, and you have a President who cannot even spell the word "tap". As I said, Democrats can merely sit back and munch on popcorn as they watch the reality show unfold from the White House and Congress.
In a month, Republicans are turning on each other like a pack of wild animals, they have a President who is tweeting wild and insane conspiracies and false accusations in the dead of night and demanding Congress deal with it all, not to mention the fact that he's breaking the law by using his position to make money from his business interests.
