    Not to forget that his children running his business is laughable in terms of his being detached from the business...
    I have seen this as well, though my experience of it was tempered by the inclusion of this nugget of information; the nations listed were identified by the Department of Homeland Security as risk nations during the last few years and had resulted in the same seven being targeted with travel restrictions in a bill signed by the previous administration.

    One story told is that Trump is simply using the restrictions Obama laid down as a template to ratchet up restrictions quickly before he can compose a better plan, another is that those nations exempted are allies and or strategically vital to the fight against ISIS and pissing them off would be a bad idea.

    With this level of information available whichever explanation you believe that is likely predicated on your willingness to give trump the benefit of the doubt.

    Immigration is not a right but a privledge that any sovereign nation is entirely justified in restricting as they wish, So yes too bad for you.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Thanks. Your sympathy is heartwarming.

    I am not even talking about immigration. I am talking about personally being denied entry into an entire country. The reason for which is that I am suddenly tainted somehow. Nevermind how I live my life or who I am – my birthplace condemns me.

    I can only speculate that your callous disregard in this matter is because you assume such discriminatory measures will never affect you.

    On the contrary, he voted for it last June. I was against it, but I'll have to live with it anyway because the likes of GB voted for it.

    I am sorry. Contrary to what? I am not sure how this relates to my post.

    What discriminatory measures has he (Greyblades?) voted for, that you have to live with?

    Brexit presumably.

    You make strong posts btw.

    DAPL should not really be getting this much opposition, and opposition on the basis of pipeline vs. other transport modes is a red herring. If the procedures are complete and the property is secured, go ahead with the damn thing.

    On the other hand, abortion and regulations are pretty much the best things ever.
