Now because of some facebook post and blogs here I know of some band called Soviet Soviet and still have zero interest of listening to them.
Not once in the article the band mentions anything about President Trump.
Only some on AMT made a fake connection to their ordeal.

I actually asked the question in the title if the Trump ban was to blame and I'll stand behind that question.

Let's see how the rest plays out, no?

No!

I agree with you. See my previous comments.

I did. Right now there is no Trump Ban. The old one is still tied up in the courts, until the 16th, when the new one goes into effect, then the old EO is gone. Now, the new EO might be tied up in court and not go into effect on the 16th also.

Sec. 13. Revocation. Executive Order 13769 of January 27, 2017, is revoked as of the effective date of this order.

Sec. 14. Effective Date. This order is effective at 12:01 a.m., eastern daylight time on March 16, 2017.

You are 100% correct.

Now I'm really curious what people will say and my thread title is egregious...

and now it's on NPR.

NPR is related to KEXP as they are both Public Radio.

I know. My point was that it was starting to circulate a bit more.

What do you want to play out? People saying and proving that this story is true because of President Trump?
It is getting silly around these parts where everything is or possibly Trumps fault and we must have a discussion forthwith!

Read my above quote...

Now I'd like to see if they rescind any of their story.
Will any major media pick up on this?
Can someone investigate if their paperwork was really legit?

Those are a few things I'd like to see play out.

Completely agree. Let's wait & see what happens. We'll know if it has legs soon enough.

Everything is his fault. I got a papercut earlier today. (his fault) Our dog took too long to take a piss outside earlier. (his fault) I just sneezed. (his fault)
