Trump's Muslim Ban

[SpontaneousOrder]

In the context of the thread your implication is that it was some sort of blanket ban. It wasn't.

No, there was no such implication. In fact it was explicitly the opposite - for anyone who care to read what is written and not what they want to see. I even provided the link to the FAQ on the activist website.

The point that was made several times, which people chose to ignore, was that the list was formulated by Barak Obama in relation to terror threats, and that if one chooses to see it as a list of Muslims rather than a list of terror threats, then that person must also ascribe that prejudice to Barak Obama as well as Trump, and must also ascribe any 'arbitrary' or inconsistent nature of the list to Obama, rather than Trump, as it was Obama's list.

I take it you didn't also read the post which had a comment...

Anyway, I leave everyone with this:

Thus proving, once and for all, that immigration often leads to a bad outcome...

Spontaneous Spicer, your memory seems to be suffering. You say that he is only implementing campaign promises.
On the campaign trail he also stated that Obama was the founder of ISIS. Earlier he spent years claiming Obama was a Muslim.
...but stick with your alternative facts.

And he was a prominent "Birther"

I don't understand anything you've written there. Are we talking about his campaign promises? Or his historical observations? (ISIS as we know it is, of course, a product of Obama policy in Syria). And what does either have to do with my memory?

That aside, are you suggesting that he did not make this moratorium a central part of his winning election campaign?

Same question. Also, do you know what a straw-man is?

If you want to argue against Trump the man, then good for you - but I'm not interested.

I'm pointing out that one could find it surprising that so many people are 'shocked' that this happened, when it was a core part of Trump's platform which > 60 million people voted for, and the same number again failed to vote against.

That's because you can't handle the truth.


...crawl back under your bridge.

That's because you can't handle the truth.

And there was me thinking he doesn't understand because he's thicker than mince.

Nice statemanship from Trump there - blaming everyone else for his incompetence. I wonder if his republican handlers are letting him make a hash of things (or even encouraging him?).
