"The blessed ban"


"The terrorist group ISIS has reportedly branded President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration "the Blessed Ban" as it seemingly proves that the West is at war with Islam."

Congrats President Dumbass, you just gave ISIS a recruiting boondoggle like they never thought possible.

He gets to show his supporters what a strong, principled man he is while he increases the hardship and suffering of families who are fleeing war torn countries.

You goad someone into attacking you, which they do, then you get to ignore any law protecting the excited public's civil rights, and your backers and chums get filthy rich, richer than they already were, even. You could see it shaping up for some time now.

....for exactly this reason, and for a way to further threaten people not to attack his policies. You know, we all have to get behind the president in times of national emergency...blah, blah, blah.

His whole process seems perfectly designed to foster attack on us (if not create one) and have a convenient scapegoat to blame.
