It might seem like a daft 1uestion, but that is exactly how Donald Trump is portrayed in the media. As permanently banning all one point six billions Muslims in the world. They leave out the fact that it was 1. a temporary ban, 2. in was for national security reasons. 3. regardless if it seen as necessary by everyone it was still Constitutional.

The ire over the ban beauce it might affect Muslims is disportionate to the lack of any sympathy that 2016 was one of the worst years ever for the persecution of Christians. It is reported that 90,000 Christians were killed for their faith. That is one every six minutes.

Well for those who are unhappy with Trump, you can at least look forward to Kanye West in 2020.

He isn't running in 2020 anymore. 2024 he claims after having a sit down with Trump.

Convenient Neo. You must have skipped over this part from your own link.

We’ve allocated to the president the ability on short notice to suspend visas if it’s an emergency,” Stock added, referring to the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, which grants the president the authority to suspend visas from immigrants of certain countries when the U.S. is at war with those countries.

“On the other hand,” Stock added, “we have a First Amendment principle, which says that Congress and the president cannot favor one religion over another. Those two constitutional principles are colliding with each other at the moment.”

Trump jumps on Twitter and refers to the guy as a "This so called judge".

How'd ya like to be one of Trump's lawyers right now? My guess is that Federal judges are a pretty tight knit group and Trump's zing is not going to sit very well with any of them.

It's absolutely mind blowing how quickly this dude and his advisers are crashing and burning.

President Trump's older sister is a former federal judge. I wonder what her thoughts are on her brother's comment?

She's great in pretty much everything. Last movie that made me LOL over and over again was SPY. Before that was BRIDESMAIDS. Chick is flat out hilarious.

Bringing up "small business" in regards to Dod-Frank is the kind of stuff that makes my day

You've made it very clear since I started posting on this thread months ago that don't know anything (or care much in general) about the problems small businesses face, much less why Dodd-Frank doesn't help them. Therefore, why have such a smug and dismissive attitude?

Small businesses are the bedrock of pretty much any major city in the U.S., including New York City and L.A. Hell, when I was developing my business years ago I never got a letter from the state nor federal government offering one iota of anything. They just hold their hand out waiting for tax season.

I don't know, I didn't think Trump would pull us out of TPP for the same reasons, but he did. I was shocked. Trump loves buying foreign made goods for his business.

Sorry Nostradamus, but everything is assumption until X actually happens and you can observe factors in real time you likely never considered. If politics and business were that simple, everyone would come to the same conclusion when presented with all available information...and yet that never happens. For example, people "assumed" Trump would lose just because the media "assumed" there was no possible way he would win states like Pennsylvania. There were countless articles backed by historical data and poll data that deemed a Trump win impossible...and yet it happened nevertheless.

The intended reason is the same reason anybody opposed TPP, according to what he had to say in the debates. I just didn't think he'd go through with it because it implied he gave a **** about anything other than himself and his business. I'm still not fully convinced he won't use his position to corrupt politics in favor of larger businesses but it's a step in the right direction.

Though, I have been reading some shady **** about them trying to get rid of a few areas of government dedicated to investigating corruption.

And I heard he wants to reverse the gay marriage laws. Don't know if it's really true or not because people take the slightest inkling of anything that could imply that and run with it.

And I think the Muslim ban is both dumb and extremely cowardly.

And I think him signing that deal to build that pipeline is absolutely the horrible corrupt decision making I was expecting. It will create a few temporary jobs that will vanish quickly and is moving in the opposite direction the we need to go in order to start preventing catastrophic climate change.

And I absolutely think him putting a hiring freeze on government jobs is completely detrimental to actually creating jobs and is really him trying to push jobs towards different companies that will probably pay you less, give you less benefits, follow less safety regulations and work you harder.

But I could be wrong again, we have to wait and see. I mean there's not much else we can do except wait, see, complain and I guess start voting Democrat on a local level. Perhaps now Democrats will stop being little pussies and realize that the time of playing fair with Republicans is over if they want to get anything actually done.

I was just reading an article about this. They made it seem like it was Trump's idea but he would have probably tried to reverse them with an executive order if it wasn't for Ivanka and her husband.

That's not what I meant, I meant as in how Obama bent over backwards trying to make the Republicans happy even though he had a Democrat majority in house. He should have just done what they hell he wanted. The same way Republicans always do. With out giving a damn.

I really don't think enough people appreciate Obama, looking back. We can sit here and pretend America has become a ruined waste land of poverty as we luxuriously sit back at our computers and yell at each other over simple misunderstandings and light opinion differences, but I mean, we could have been jobless and starving if Obama really did **** up. That's the path we were heading down. He prevented that and slowly turned it back on the right path. We are still one of the richest countries in the world. Cherish that. Because Trump might ruin it.

You think he didn't? :laughing:

Obama has issued 195 executive orders as of Tuesday. Published alongside them in the Federal Register are 198 presidential memoranda — all of which carry the same legal force as executive orders. He's already signed 33% more presidential memoranda in less than six years than Bush did in eight.
