New Improved Travel Ban

An example of the Trump stupidity and distraction in action.  This obsession with annoying huge business, universities, states, liberals and moderates etc over the minimal threat (MSN WP New Travel Ban) even as they roll back a logical safety measure.  I will never understand the far Right, let's stop the people without guns from coming here and ensure the mentally impaired can have guns.  Really?

I thought we were through with trying to be France?

Thankfully we will never be like France. We have Oceans for borders that make it very hard for unvetted European and Asian people to wander into our country. Though it seems Trump is incapable of understanding this simple geographical fact. Given how much he tries to scare naive American citizens by using their terrible European issues as ours.

Now do you really think he is that much of a chicken? Or do you think he is trying to use fear to manipulate other people who are easily scared? I am always fascinated that those brave strong Conservative gun owners can be so SCARED of families who have been displaced and tormented by our common enemies.

Apparently they are "Bad Samaritans" who would walk by the beaten and injured out of fear...

Let's see now: We have ISIS stating clearly that they intend to "infiltrate the refugee population" and wreak havoc in "the West." If the enemy says they will attack you at such-and-so a point, do you ignore the warning, or do you beef up defenses a bit?

Ask the folks at the Orlando gay nightclub if they were afraid of terrorists because they all had guns, or not. Would it have been better if the killer had NOT been in the country at all?

The Orlando killer was born in the U.S.

(I guess nothing does change.)

John said...

Pretty much makes the Orlando killer not much different than our other home grown psychopaths...

Just another mentally disabled person who could legally buy or get their hand on a semi-automatic gun or five...

I knew you would say that. So since we already have more than enough Muslim-inspired terrorists here, why should we import more of them?

John said...

But the reality is that the current vetting is working... We haven't been importing terrorists.

That is unless you really mean to say "why are we importing more Muslims?" Which is of course so against the FIRST amendment...

Actually, it's not against the first amendment, but that's not what anybody including Trump is even attempting. And the "current vetting" is very much like our current "absence of voter fraud." We cannot say there are no terrorists coming in because we don't look for them. And by the way, there have been some 70 arrests of people that HAVE come through, from those 7 countries, convicted of terrorist plots or acts. It is NOT working.
