There are a dozen or more predominantly Muslim countries that aren't on the list. Why?
That's hardly an answer. I think we can eliminate a couple of the unnamed countries because of business interests that Trump has there.
Why do I think the others aren't named though? I'll answer your question. Very easily it's public relations. We've seen the outpouring of protests against this with "just" 7 countries. Right now, you start with these countries and then if it succeeds, you expand it to more. It's all just a strategy. With how horribly they rolled this out, can you imagine how bad it would have been if every Muslim country were included?
We've ruled out a history of threats from these countries...what other common denominator is there aside from that?
Ok. Just answer this one, true or false. The executive order signed by the President states that Christians be given preference in regards to admission to the United States.
Ok. The 9th Circus Court has spoken. Non of this was aimed at a religion. It was aimed where most of the terrorists originate from. Federal judge James Robart's ruling putting a nation wide stay on those actions didn't bother to reference this statute; in part It would seem because the statue is crystal clear. 8 U.S. Code-1182-Inadmissible Aliens. (f) Suspension or entry or imposition of restrictions by President. Whenever the President finds that the entity of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States, would be detrimental to the interests of the United States: he may by proclamation and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or class of aliens as immigrants, or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. This of course includes a class of aliens from a specific countries. (I.e. any one of the 7 named in the executive order.) Could not be possibly clearer: So, Like it or lump it. President Trump has the absolute authority to issue the actions that he did. Of course some old liberal activist judge will shoot it down, until further appeal.
Care to point out which terrorists and their attacks have originated from the seven countries on the ban? Care to expound on why "christians" from these countries aren't banned?
Very good. Not 1. There were a few failed attempts. But you are right, since 9/11 no casualties from terrorists from thosee 7. But those same 7 countries were on Obama's watchlist 7 most (terrist friendly/harbouring places in the world.). That list came from Obama's white house. Most attacks in the U.S. are homegrown jihadists correct? I don't have all the answers. & I'm tired. Good night.

Here's a fair analysis of why the 7 countries were chosen in case you didn't see that they were the same ones with restrictions from obamas tenure:
Seeing how we've now learned that trump makes his decisions without reading what he's signing, I'm guessing they took the same ones and just signed on the line.
Actually he said, I'll have more flexibility and either way, how is this even comparable? You're right, that doesn't bother me. I can't even imagine what fucked up nonsense is being said in the white house these days that we don't hear because what does come out isn't fit for a high school student council meeting.

Those crazy liberal activist judges who think discrimination based on religion is unconstitutional? Thomas Jefferson would approve.
Trump and his supporters and those who voted for him own this. Stop making excuses and defend this nightmare. C'mon, convince me he's competent. Convince me that he was the best choice amongst evil. Convince me it's still the best. What really frightens me? Is that you can't other than to say, " but Obama." When do you own your stupidity?

They can't/won't the supporters will never admit they voted for a total Bafoon !!
Trump is damn arrogant I agree and it annoys the hell out of me. But I think most presidents have a level of arrogance. To run in the first place you have to have a pretty big ego.
i agree, you gotta have an ego and a certain arrogance to run for office. but i don't see how Clinton calling 50% Trump supporters deplorables is considered arrogant. it's more like a comment out of frustration. she's not saying that she was born smarter then them. she's calling them a name, but really how can you disagree when you see/hear the racism/bigotry spewed from these people? The Obama speech is totally off base. no arrogance there. just a man reminding people that government is made up of people and it does do some good. how is that arrogant?
again, i take issue with people who think they are born smart and have nothing else to learn. go to a library. walk into the nonfiction section. open any book. i am almost willing to guarantee you the first page will blow your mind. now consider how many books and how many pages are left to read.
LAWFARE: "Remarkably, in the entire opinion, the panel did not bother even to cite this (the) statute." A disgraceful decision! The failing @nytimes does major FAKE NEWS China story saying "Mr.Xi has not spoken to Mr. Trump since Nov.14." We spoke at length yesterday!
There are a dozen or more predominantly Muslim countries that aren't on the list. Why?
this was only the beginning. they knew there would be backlash from it, so they started with the ones that they knew they could put the blame on Obama to try to sway the liberals into thinking "oh, well then it must have been ok". if they had gotten away with that, more bans would have come.
except the ones with Trump financial interest, of course.
but they, again, underestimated the intelligence of the electorate and other politicians. they think they are as dumb as Trump is.
This is more fun than the W years... hopefully several hundred thousand people don't get killed and an entire region set ablaze this time around
can you imagine the world right now if we just went into Afghanistan and never went into Iraq??? I don't think Americans really understand how much of the worlds chaos right now was caused by invading Iraq
elections have real world consequences folks... this has been child's play so far
Being president is harder than Donald Trump thought, according to aides and allies who say that he’s growing increasingly frustrated with the challenges of running the massive federal bureaucracy.
In interviews, nearly two dozen people who’ve spent time with Trump in the three weeks since his inauguration said that his mood has careened between surprise and anger as he’s faced the predictable realities of governing, from congressional delays over his cabinet nominations and legal fights holding up his aggressive initiatives to staff in-fighting and leaks.
The administration’s rocky opening days have been a setback for a president who, as a billionaire businessman, sold himself to voters as being uniquely qualified to fix what ailed the nation. Yet it has become apparent, say those close to the president, most of whom requested anonymity to describe the inner workings of the White House, that the transition from overseeing a family business to running the country has been tough on him.

Starting to think they will keep Spicer around....kinda like you need a dog to kick when you're frustrated. Conway fucks up but it's Spicer who is the bad guy.
Report: Trump upset at Spicer for saying Conway was 'counseled'
Wouldn't be surprised if he strokes out. Clearly he doesn't handle stress well and from what I've seen, he doesn't exercise except for golfing. But even then he rides in a cart. Anyone who thought he could run the country like his business and thus was uniquely qualified for the job was bamboozled.

Article the other day says he eats Big Macs or KFC for dinner...wtf.

it is showing more and more what I've been saying....he clearly didn't understand going in that he is not king. he cannot just tell everyone what to do and expect them to do it.

I think he is miserable. I heard what Howard Stern said, and I agree. Trump loves celebrities, rubbing elbows with elite, and being liked. This current existence, where the reality show of the campaign is over and everyone hates him... and celebrities, movie stars, athletes, SNL skits, etc are continually tearing him down. It is going to kill him. He never really intended for this to get this far, and is probably extremely overwhelmed.
Within the next 4 years... I wouldn't be shocked to see a health issue present itself, or for him to have to 'step aside' and give the keys to Pence for a period of time.
I predict, a major terrible event will happen and he will tweet or say something very insensitive and ingenuous. The shit-storm and calls for resignation, even from his 'own side' will be too much to bear.
