"Extreme vetting" is slight of hand

[cleveramerican]

"Extreme vetting" is the end of the Muslim ban.
With this the don slyly threw the Muslim ban into the grave
A few months ago the ban was the cornerstone of his campaign.
It's shocking to me that republicans all (All!!)seemed to miss that

1. I still have no idea how the hell that's supposed to work. What are they gonna do, give folks

who want to enter the U.S. sodium pentathol or something? All somebody has to do is lie. Don the Con's surrogate didn't know what to say or how this "extreme vetting" was gonna work. First he said it was only for people planning to stay a long time. When the interviewer pointed out that people with short visas are potentially dangerous too, he said, "Oh,we're going to extreme vet those people too." But, he just said they wouldn't...never mind...

None of them have any brains.

3. with Trump, I am thinking rubber hoses and water boarding

2. Who is telling Trump voters he is reneging on that call, by one

Donald J. Trump, to ban all Muslims. Seriously how would this be made clear to Fox news viewers?

4. Extreme vetting is meaningless

It just bit of distraction to divert your attention away from the don dropping the ban like a hot rock!
It appears to have worked pretty well.
Just add it to the list of shit he said he didn't mean
Was it sarcasm?

7. No. I literally meant how can we make sure Trump's GOP base find

out he is reneging on major promises.

9. How do you beak through with the truth to right wing true believers?

Boy oh boy, isn't that a question for the ages.

If I knew that I'd be on the plane with HRC

5. To me it was funny

Watching his surrogates saying they supported it. But didn't know what he meant. Pretty much the same thing with all that dipshit says. He says something stupid. They aren't real sure what he means, but they support it, and try to explain what he meant.

6. It would get him out of the First Amendment problem

of directly discriminating against a religion. He never would have been able to do it, and if he'd kept stating it as his proposal, he'd have had more and more "Trump doesn't care about the constitution" attacks on him.

Trump is never consistent about anything, so it's no surprise he's saying something else. He's said enough to convince the Islamophobes he hates Muslims as much as they do; this is just a general "I'd tell immigration officials to bar anyone they feel like" promise of random discrimination.

8. so you set up a process that george washington couldn't pass and then say See...no ban
