Trump's Muslim immigration ban includes green card holders

There's just been a multiple shooting at a Quebec City mosque.  It's unclear how many fatalities.  http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/shooting-at-a...-1.3262477

The Canadian PM had just rolled out the red carpet, and now it's red with blood.

Hmmm...

(Not saying people from those 4 other countries should be banned, just interesting)

Wyrd,

With all due respect you didn't address my main point, which was that this affected people who are already permanent residents of the USA. They live in the U.S. already, have jobs, pay taxes. They went on vacation and when they returned they were refused entry back to their home. That's unfair.

I used myself as a hypothetical example, because you yourself suggested that maybe England could be added to the list.

However the DHS announced earlier today that green card holders are exempt, something which should have been in the original executive order in the first place!

Tiberius,

Thanks for the update.  There is a provision in the EO, Section 5(e), that allows entry for people who were already in transit and denying them admission would cause undue hardship.  That gave the Judge an out for ruling the way she did.

The problem is that Trump's writers wrote the thing like the Second Amendment (in mud) without specifying all of the fine points.  And he was in such a hurry that he didn't have the people charged with carrying it out proofread it and correct the flaws.  

If Trump doesn't have some honest critics to review his actions his yes men & women will get his ass burned off.  It's like the dummy who misspelled the British PM's name twice on official correspondence.  Details matter.

Jesus fucking Christ. I was holding out hope that this cunt was all bluster, and was saying a bunch of dumb shit to win the ignorant votes.

I can't believe this, seriously. The man is a maniac.

Downing Street has rejected calls to cancel President Donald Trump's proposed state visit to the UK after a US clampdown on immigration.

A source said a rejection would be a "populist gesture", adding that the invitation had been accepted and scrapping it would "undo everything".

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said PM Theresa May would be failing the people if she failed to postpone the visit.

A petition to stop it has gathered more than 900,000 signatures since Saturday.

Only 100,000 signatures are needed for Parliament to consider debating a petition.

Is May going to continue to lick his arse following all this BS? It's about time we criticized his actions. Emma tells me many countries already have.

May has promised to call Trump out on some of his more controversial policies, but the truth is she can't really do much about it. We may have a 'special relationship' with the US but we certainly don't have any influence over them like our PM wants us to believe.

Trump's officials have already said he will not be lectured on environmental issues by Prince Charles, so I very much doubt he will allow any other foreign official to lecture him.

I wonder if all lives still do actually matter.
