Travel Ban Question. "Until we figure out what the hell is going on"....Couldn't the

governmental entities involved start figuring out what the hell is going on now - or since the first ban was issued? Or, does all travel have to stop for them to start figuring out what the hell is going on? Strikes me that if you are trying to figure out what the hell is going on, it would be easier to do it while people from these countries were actually traveling here so you could observe procedure and identify what the hell is going on

1. Trump and the republicans know what's going on. It's about their agenda. Not security.

2. Of course it is - it's blatant. It is a good question to ask though. "Has anyone started figuring

out what is going on?" I worked in DC for a while. Trust me, there are policies and procedures for EVERYTHING you do. They should already know exactly what the process is. So, obviously you are right about the agenda. But, from our point of view, we should act like this is not true and try and pin them down. How long will it take? Have you started the analysis? Why not?

6. well, it's about the security of white racists

but the whole ban was an obvious crock of shit from the beginning

3. Security theater for Trumpanzees, but not entertaining for the Victims Of ICE. . . . nt

4. They already released their report.

To paraphrase, Country or origin is not a good indicator of radicalization potential because most often it is the children that eventually fall victim to the online propaganda.

5. When he was campaigning and promising his racist, anti-Muslim base...

that he would ban Muslims from coming to this country, we would have thought someone could have told him America has bedrock religious freedom principles, and religious tests are essentially un-American.

That shit might get you elected in some kind of a fluke, but it doesn't mean you get to reshape our country's fundamental values!

We damn sure know "what the hell is going on." You got caught, jackass!

7. When it happened, when he first mentioned it, it struck me as incredibly

ignorant. Like, you were sitting in the living room with the low information voter and they made a casual comment "well, Muslims attacked us, let's stop them from coming here" without thinking ANYTHING further (Trump's MO). Intellectual laziness. Remember thinking this guy has no clue. Trump may not have realized then and now doesn't care that he unleashed all the true hate and bigotry with it all.

8. Yeah... we wait until that dude figures out "what the hell is going on"

Why do I think it's gonna be a long wait?

9. Trump should be asked what they are basing a travel ban on.

Then when Spicer bullshits an answer, say, "So, you've figured out what the hell is going on"?"

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. I know. It's like our approach is not working to get info - why not try another. Start acting

like everything they say makes perfect sense and on board. "Think it is SO great that we are trying to understand the problems with our travel requirements. President Trump said a ban until we figure out what the hell is going on. Has that "figuring out" started yet? And when will it be complete?"

10. Trump and His Supporters Are the Ones Who Don't Know What the Hell Is Going on

And they have no interest in finding out. All they want to do is lash out.
