    Ford on Trump travel ban: 'We do not support this policy'
    http://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2017/01/30/ford-trump-travel-ban-we-do-not-support-policy/97242440/

    "Respect for all people is a core value of Ford Motor Company, and we are proud of the rich diversity of our company here at home and around the world," Fields and Bill Ford said in the joint statement Monday morning. "That is why we do not support this policy or any other that goes against our values as a company."

    Everything is going exactly according to plan, nothing has changed since the order was signed, and the news media need to calm down their “false, misleading, inaccurate, hyperventilating” coverage of the “fractional, marginal, minuscule percentage” of international travellers who have been simply “set aside for further questioning” for a couple hours on their way into the greatest country in the world.
    “It really is a massive success story in terms of implementation on every single level,” the administration official said at one point.

    I know the acting AG. He's from my little town here in Illinois. Just got a bump by Obama not too long ago.

    Here's to hoping for the best.

    They threw democrats a bone while sessions awaits confirmation. It is transparent and stupid.
    The guy is kind of a wiener. Shocking, right? A guy named Dana is a wiener.
    It is kind of funny. In Germany, Dana is a girl's name. Only.
    Party on Garth!

    “Our nation has a long and rich history of welcoming those fleeing persecution. We also have a long and rich history of liberating those suffering under oppression. We are the most welcoming and generous country in the world, and we are a country of immigrants.

    The world we find ourselves in is dangerous and becoming increasingly so. Since national security and public safety are the preeminent functions of government, there is a fundamental duty to ensure the necessary background investigations can be done to stop anyone intent on doing harm from exploiting Americans’ generosity and taking more innocent lives.

    American people deserve border and interior security. They deserve to know who is coming to our country, for what purpose, and for how long. They deserve to be assured those seeking entry into the country – regardless of the length of stay – have been vetted thoroughly and do not represent a security risk.

    I am committed to doing everything we can to keep Americans safe just as I am committed to defending religious liberty and providing refuge to those fleeing persecution.”

    pretty much. we had a nice little run here in america. people haven't changed, but the world has. we've always had the undereducated. however, the US no longer can provide good paying factory jobs to those people. and now we have a large segment of society that's grown angry and resentful of those who have taken those jobs. Trump/Bannon saw an opportunity, took advantage and scored big.

    Except our intelligence and law enforcement agencies disagree as to whether it makes us safer. Call it what it is, a 12% Muslim ban.

    If true.....holy shit.

    Need more heroes like her to take a stand and fall on the sword if need be
    Fucking unreal.....unreal.
    It took Nixon an entire term plus a year before he sacked his AG in the Saturday Night Massacre. It takes Trump a week.. what an overachiever.
    Interesting point..
    The Saturday Night Massacre was the term used by political commentators to refer to U.S. President Richard Nixon's dismissal of independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, and as a result the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus on October 20, 1973, during the Watergate scandal.

    The difference between then and now Richardson and Yates, is that Richardson resigned in protest to Nixons request to fire the Watergate special prosecutor, whereas Yates defied the EO and instructed the Justice Department to not enforce it.

    check out the NYT version of events!

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/30/us/politics/trump-immigration-ban-memo.html?_r=0

    What I find interesting is that Yates as AG takes no position on the EO, read it for yourself and ask, on what grounds did she take the position to not enforce the EO?
    Althou she lays out her responsibilities clearly, "Im not convinced" Yates stood up in "principle", stood for the law or the constitution (say vs politics) by defying President Trumps EO.

    Yeah, the circumstances were totally different and to be honest, I'm not sure Trump had any choice but to fire her. But of course the ridiculous press statement that went out with it just reinforces my opinion of him.

    Cristela Alonzo. She wasn't great, but wasn't bad either. Laughs at her own jokes a little too much.

    Pretty typical right wing manipulation of the ignorant in statements like these. I've seen more than one, where how they speak about the refugee program suggests there's minimal to no vetting currently, which is the opposite of reality, but you'd have to be informed about what the vetting currently is. If you're ignorant, you see this and say "go Gowdy".
