Meanwhile, leftists that just a year ago that were whining that H1B visas were a corporate scam to drive down wages are now talking about how we're going to lose highly-skilled people with any kind of immigration crackdown.
I don't see the "Because terrorist only come from" part in the article.
Yeah…that would be my part outside the quotes (hint: part of your job as a reader is to be skeptical and read between the lines)
Again…as I mentioned during the campaign, I can understand the desire to have a stoppage in muslim immigration while we figure shit out. It's been beaten in to me by the likes of Chizzang. Don't trust those fuckers…religion of peace…etc. But to cite dangers from some countries while ignoring the obvious track record of others is dumb.
Hollywood elite are marching with foreign countries that, stifle womens rights, kill gays and kill others in the name of religion.
This is why the left lost the election to Trump
Then actors and actresses suddenly switch from denouncing religion, wanting the separation of church and state and all the name calling of "fundies" "bible thumpers" et and now these ACTORS are finding god and acting all Christina "and stuff".
This is why the left lost the election.
Now the Hollywood elite are crying, protesting and "speaking for the USA" they just dont get it, they dont speak for the people that elected Donald J Trump, in fact they dont speak for 35% of the country. They are idiots we make fun of and laugh at. The rest of the world is laughing at them as well
This is why the left lost the election.

No it's not. The "left" lost the election to Trump because it picked a really bad candidate. They picked a candidate that did something so stupid as to set up a private e mail server to handle her State Department e mails then spent most of the election under FBI investigation as a result. And she made the problem worse by the way she responded to it. Obama, if he could've run again, would've beaten Trump by double digits in the popular vote and also had an electoral college landslide. Sanders would've cleaned Trump's clock as well.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth

I've greatly enjoyed your rants on the hypocrisy of the left regarding foreign policy. Entertaining, bitingly satirical, and full of truths. It's sad to see you stumbling here...
What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
What do you call a travel ban for 7 Muslin majority countries (which just happen to be lawless shytholes)?

Obama would have been crushed by Trump, this country is over that idiot he had 8 years, made America everyones bitch, embarrassed us, made races relation worse than they have been in 80 years.
You are wrong

I'm sure you can...stumble...onto the answers.
Cute.
Desperate...but cute.
Do terrorists only come from lawless shit holes?
On September 11th, 2001 the homeland was attacked by the forces of radical Islamic terrorism. We have been at war with radical Islamic terrorism ever since and their home base is Saudi Arabia. On that day in 2011, Saudi nationals were escorted to planes and allowed to go back to the enemy's territory. We are at war and they should have been rounded up, detained, and eventually sent to Guantanamo where they should still reside.
Yet you and Trump evidently need more evidence before they are considered a threat....

No, it is you who are cute and desperate.
Sorry kalm, your silly analogies are similar to the ones that equate Trump with Hitler. Have fun wallowing in the shallow end.

What analogy? Just facts plus one opinion on what we should have done with the agents of terrorism.

I think, fundamentally, you think they should be banned as well. But, can't handle the thought of criticizing your Man God.
I understand the argument about Saudi Arabia, but could Trump include them in an Executive Order? Obama cleared the way for those 7 countries. Maybe more work would be necessary to include others.

I do think the Saudis should have been included.
However, the strategy was sound...use Obama's list, so that when the inevitable backlash from the Libs came, he was STARTING on solid ground.
Trump said, although no one is listening (imagine that) that the list was flexible and would be adapted over time.
If you folks would be patient, instead acting like a bunch of schoolgirls with limited frontal lobe development, this might be a good thing for our country. But you don't really want to find out, do you?
I don't think there's any argument against the fact that Trump stumbled when he issued this order - way too much uncertainty, way too much lack of understanding of what exactly was being ordered. Unfortunately, that's a hallmark of Trump - he says a lot, but somehow makes it confusing enough that people spend way too long figuring out what he meant. In addition, not including Saudi Arabia on this list is just inexcusable - given their history of extremist Wahhibism there shouldn't have been a reason why they weren't on the same 90 day pause list. And finally, at the point of signing this Executive Order, there shouldn't have been any uncertainty over how people with green cards would be handled, how dual citizens would be handled, and there shouldn't have been any concern over what happens to legal aliens in the US from these countries if they travelled overseas after this and tried to get back in. And add to that that people already in the air shouldn't have been turned around and flown back. Heck, it was only 100 some people, no reason to raise the specter of deportation when it was manageable to deal with 100 people.
With that said, the left continues to flounder in impotent rage and hyperbole that makes it hard to trust them as well. Enough with the tears coming from the Statue of Liberty - for at least the past century we've greatly restricted the flow of immigrants into this country, and we've been particular about which ones they come from (and indirectly which ones we don't want them to come from). They are more than 100 years late in protesting the loss of the motto that is ascribed to the Statue of Liberty so CNN's headline of "Trump...fundamentally changes American history" is just inflammatory journalism. Frankly, I knew nothing of Obama's order back in 2011 to pause immigration into the US from these countries, at least similar to what Trump is doing now, precisely because no one was protesting Obama when he did it and people like CNN were apparently asleep at the wheel and didn't see what was happening. Calling this thing a Muslim ban is partly irresponsible, just as is the idea that this thing is permanent. Probably 75% of the Muslims in the world aren't impacted by this decree, and the only thing that could read as really long term in this is the restriction on Syrian refugees, and that probably is the one area that we should be more careful about in terms of who to admit.
End of the day, Trump is still Trump, mostly a blowhard and mostly a buffoon, and he does need to be kept a watch on by GOP and Dems and independents alike. But at the same time, the left has almost exhausted themselves on protest and indignation and we're not even two weeks into this thing and this recent executive order is probably the most tangible thing he's done so far in this Presidency. The administration owes a lot more answers on this decree, and in 90 days they better have a real good story of what they are doing and what can start to be lifted, and if not why. One weekend of airport protests and award show call to arms is not really holding the admin to task. Let's start talking and getting answers.
