Just more alternative facts from the guy who flat out lied about the attendance at the inauguration.

What else is he willing to lie about...

Its a great fight for the Trump admin to engage in. I don't know if the opposition realizes it or not, but they have just taken full responsibility for any potential attack that might come from 7 hotbeds of terrorism. If one of these visa holders who are now flooding into our country against Trumps wish becomes the next Marwan Al Shehhi or Mohammad Atta then the left have hands dripping with blood and will be in big trouble. Trump just has some minor opposition to a travel ban. The scales have Trump with a heavy thumb on his end.

A ban that doesn't include Saudi Arabia is a joke.
Would have liked to have seen Pakistan included in the ban as well, but to dismiss the others included in the ban is a misunderstanding of our problems. Just because Saudi Arabia is a terror hot bed which produced some of the most infamous attackers, doesn't mean that they won't emerge from other places all over the Middle East and North Africa as well. Its the job to foresee where threats may come from in the future and stop them, and they have to be right 100% of the time, while the terrorists only have top be right once. The problem today is far more severe than it was on 911. We now have a much more vicious organizations like ISIS, which is a group that was dismissed by Al Qaeda as being "too extreme". Think about that for a second. They have more resources and territory than any terror organization in history and they have vowed to strike us here in the US. I think Trump has more support on this issue than crazy people who use terms like "Muslim ban" which is a total lie.

If I had half a brain I would have excluded the origins of 9/11 first....whether I had mates/business buddies there or not.

Sadly Trump doesn't have half a brain...;p

I guess the same criticism can be leveled towards Obama and his lawyers who created and implemented the frameworks of the ban in the past.

The 9/11 hijackers came into this country legally. They had documented history. Certainly one cannot compare pre-9/11 security to post 9/11 security. Have the hijackers arrive today, they most likely would have been identified. The countries on the ban list have no way to vett at todays standards. 

 

At least Trump is doing something. Obama took all comers. Using Jafo's logic, that must be no brain. No liberal tears for Obama's ban on Cuban "immigrants" the day before he left office? Of course not, hypocrisy can't work that way.

The devil is in the details.

"Effective immediately, Cuban nationals who attempt to enter the United States illegally and do not qualify for humanitarian relief will be subject to removal," Obama said. "By taking this step, we are treating Cuban migrants the same way we treat migrants from other countries."


Also, it's well known that Saudi Arabia teaches anti-American sentiment in it's schools and is a state sponsor of terrorism

Unless you've been here for a little while, otherwise the same treatment.
