Thread: How has this ban on seven countries suddenly become

    How has this ban on seven countries suddenly become

    a muslim ban when muslims from other countries are not banned? The whole thing was obviously not very well thought out in terms of people already holding visas getting caught up in it, but it quickly went from being a ban on people from countries with a high terrorist threat to a muslim ban.

    Oh it's a fine excuse for a certain sort of person to begin bandying the terms fascist and Hitler with gay abandon. And haven't they seize their opportunity with gleeful enthusiasm!

    Apparently the worst part is that it might potentially inconvenience Mo Farah, a man who loves this country soooo much, he lives in the USA.

    It's all very hysterical.

    Sir Mo doesn't love America, Charles, it's just that his drug coach is over there and Sir Mo needs his drug coach and his drugs to compete.

    Can't blame a chap for earning a living, after all.

    Watching lefties act like waving a placard or signing an online petition makes them Dietrich fücking Bonhoeffer is possibly my favourite thing about Donald Trump.

    I guess people might reasonably argue it's a de facto ban on Muslims from those countries listed.

    Anyway, it was Obama's list of countries. Trump has merely taken the list Obama's administration compiled to tighten up visa control and applied a more hard line approach. As he said he would while campaigning during the election he went on to win.

    Perhaps its politicians telling the truth and carrying out what they said during campaigning that people don't like?

    One wonders where Donald's Give-a-fúck-ometer is currently registering

    I keep saying it, but... the brass balls on the man! Quite, quite remarkable.

    Suggestions from the administration that Saudi and Egypt may get added to the list. Now that I would applaud.
