Attacking from the middle cedes ground to drooling ******s on the right who don't deserve it. The ban is bigoted. Unless you think there's a number on the right column that could feasibly be big enough to justify a ban, don't highlight the numbers IMO.

Do these dummies ignoring the court order not understand that they will get in trouble and saying I was told to do so isn't a magic elixir.

Maybe. Searching the phone number brings up a few hits. Some folk seem to be complaining because it's actually ringing them up and asking for money:

I suppose you could try giving them a ring.

I tried doing some research and it's just a random PAC Trump has no control over. I find it weird that that this is legal but I guess the answer is MERICA

I want to believe these rogue government twitter accounts are real, but kind of horrified if they are, too.

What happens if Priebus resigns? Is that enough of a shock that Republican congresspeople grow a spine? Or just a chance to fill the COS position with the next horrible person?

There was a supposed White House leaker (twitter account disappeared within hours) earlier in the week, and one of his tweets said Priebus had almost resigned already and Ryan walked him back from the ledge.

God help us all if this article is accurate.

Cliff notes is that the administration reportedly is considering requiring foreign visitors to disclose social media accounts and cell phone contacts.

There were reports of them checking people's Facebook and asking their political party last night.

I was flabbergasted and disgusted, but most people I talked to about it were like whatever, can't be too safe etc. etc.

Trump (and/or his henchman) probably have hotels or businesses in some of those bottom 4 countries. They keep using 9/11 as the prime reason for this horrific ban, yet NONE of the 9/11 hijackers came from countries on their ban list. And to my knowledge NONE of the media has questioned them on that one little fact.

You underestimate bigly how bad the current position is.

If the country does not get its **** together VERY VERY fast, the US will either be in civil war or have a totalitarian, fascist regime before the end of spring.

Even if I were indifferent to the humanity of it all, Trump's policies on immigration are economically short-sighted. People underestimate the extent to which the US benefits from brain drain, especially in STEM industries. People who assume that the US will always be one of the first choices for highly intelligent, high achieving immigrants, no matter how hostile the government is to immigration, are delusional.

That ecosystem is more fragile than it seems.
