They were talking to this kid waiting for his parents last night on MSNBC. They told him live on TV about the court decision. I went out to dinner. He is still there waiting for his parents.

Well the leadership of the executive branch appears to be currently in contempt of a federal judge's emergency stay, so there's that.

Apparently it's a conservative Facebook meme now to post something on illegal immigration that Bill Clinton said in 1995 or something to show how Democrats are being hypocritical....

Graham and McCain finally make a statement.

Quote:

Our government has a responsibility to defend our borders, but we must do so in a way that makes us safer and upholds all that is decent and exceptional about our nation.

It is clear from the confusion at our airports across the nation that President Trump’s executive order was not properly vetted. We are particularly concerned by reports that this order went into effect with little to no consultation with the Departments of State, Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security.

Such a hasty process risks harmful results. We should not stop green-card holders from returning to the country they call home. We should not stop those who have served as interpreters for our military and diplomats from seeking refuge in the country they risked their lives to help. And we should not turn our backs on those refugees who have been shown through extensive vetting to pose no demonstrable threat to our nation, and who have suffered unspeakable horrors, most of them women and children.

Ultimately, we fear this executive order will become a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism. At this very moment, American troops are fighting side-by-side with our Iraqi partners to defeat ISIL. But this executive order bans Iraqi pilots from coming to military bases in Arizona to fight our common enemies. Our most important allies in the fight against ISIL are the vast majority of Muslims who reject its apocalyptic ideology of hatred. This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into our country. That is why we fear this executive order may do more to help terrorist recruitment than improve our security.

Which country is the shining light on a Hill?

Didn't you guys have that one terror attack in a government building?

Anyway, it seems very likely that ISIS terrorists will try to get in western countries by posing as refugees. It shouldn't matter though, that just means we have a more difficult job. It is not a reason to turn away people who have lost almost everything and have seen horrific things. Turning away those people is exactly what ISIS wants, too. You can be certain that ISIS will have many new recruits because of what has happened in the past 48 hours.

Soros should hire Ukrainian bots to respond to each and every one of those posts with the Mike Pence tweet

I like how the McCain/Graham statement recognizes how many anti-American enemies reside in Arizona.

US boots on the ground in Yemen. 1 US Soldier killed. 30 Yemeni killed including 10 women and children.

Those reports of Reince Priebus resigning look completely false after watching him on meet the press. He seems to have drank the Kool aid: regret nothing, never apologize, twist other's words, lie blatantly. This is a sad state of affairs.

Notably, crimes occasionally occur in Canada.

And here is where Trump endears himself to the military industrial complex and all hope is lost.

That would be a really dumb way to do things. It takes years and there's tons of vetting involved. Seems easier to just find people who can get visas or get visas to Canada and stroll across the border somewhere in North Dakota.

This whole stupid mess won't deter attackers who are willing to kill themselves. It's pretty dumb.

Of course. The sentence was a typo so I riffed a joke.

Joke was reliant upon understanding (from my point of view) that Arizona appears to be chock full of deplorables AKA anti American enemies.

Lo Siento. I sorta thought it was a joke, but wasn't sure.

Arizona is a mix imo. If it weren't for old people being much better at voting it'd probably be a reliably blue state.
