It would be interesting if the U.S. and all the arab leaders got together and said "Enough is enough!" Cut off all travel to and from the entire country and cut off all financial aid, tell the Israelis and the Palestinians that they will stay isolated from the rest of the world until THEY reach an agreement or 1 side kills off the other side. This same BS has been going on for most of the nearly 6 decades of my life and I can't be the only 1 in the world getting sick of hearing about who can and can't live where. It's a freaking rock surrounded by sand for christ's sake.
Either that or some arab country should offer to carve the Israelis out a nice chunk of sand and relocate them. The country originally belonged to the Palestinians so just let them have it.

So, there are 116 positions unfilled from the previous administration's staff - and we all KNOW what a bang-up job they did. Botched, war ending pull-outs, mislaid communications costing lives, ceasefire deals brokered by halfwits, trade agreements brokered by apologists, security teams that didn't know what each other were doing. Quite the efficient machine there.
Somebody finally comes along to fix and smooth rough edges, cut waste, quit kissing world ass and you lot get your panties all in a bunch. More of the same old crap is exactly WHY the DNC lost over 1,000 government seats since 2009 and they STILL haven't figured out that the asshat to blame is looking back at them in the mirror every morning.

Dreams don't always come true - especially since the asskissing Obama is out and the asskicking Trump is in. :)
I'd love someone to please explain just what kind of argument can be made by someone who is breaking the law and wishes to continue to do so with the court's blessing. Mexicans as well as South Americans have no war to flee.
@Penicillin - if you finish and not paraphrase: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. you will see that the use of "citizen" was never used but the intent was clear that it did NOT cover any "people" from any/every other country.

I'll stick with the bottom line from Politifact. That is just an opinion piece from a contributor to Forbes. With this annotation:
look up the quoted facts. hardly 100% opinion.

Those who publicly oppose Putin tend to end up dead. It's a looooong list....
nearly as long as the Clinton list?

the problem is that everything has to be Politically Correct.
Donald expects everything to be Politically Correct. "PC" is what we call it.
PC means I Love Trump.
so never say anything bad about Trump. it's not PC.
and you gotta be PC nowadays. or else.
You DO understand we're talking about the same man that called Rosie O'Donnell a pig, called Mexican immigrants r#@*ist and drug runners and made a claim to the size of his wiener on national TV, right? I don't think "PC" is of much concern to him.
Selective journalism is the issue here.

I've spent months in various Muslim countries, and never been invited to a mosque. I've been in many though. Non-Muslims are not allowed in mosques during prayer time.
Who mentioned anything about specific times?

Interested parties in this thread would do well to consider the German viewpoint being made here... if any nation has experience of what walls can do to a country it's the Germans.
Was about to ask if they also included the Berlin Wall, The Great Wall of China, The new Israeli Wall along the West Bank, etc.

There would be protests supporting President Trump but all those people have jobs. If the MSM really wanted to do some unbiased reporting they'd be asking these asshats just how many times they have ever been invited to a mosque and just exactly who they are there supporting at the protests.
I saw on 1 news channel where they actually asked 1 woman why she was there and she rattled off her support for the poor immigrants, woman's rights, jobs, security, etc. and they finally just cut away from her. She was basically there as a fellow sheep.

Should be an interesting conversation. Trump; "So, why haven't any of you lived up to your end of the deal since it's inception?" NATO Leaders: "Uuh, Umm, *cough* Umm, Uuh." Trump: "Why shouldn't I scrap the whole deal, make a new pact with Russia and just start dividing up Europe since we were the controlling powers at the end of WWII anyway?" NATO Leaders: "Oh Crap!"

This is as about as sorry a looking bunch of posts as I've seen in a while. Seriously? Do you people honestly think there are NO other countries in THE WORLD?
The Vatican has taken several Syrian refugees in over the last few months. In April of 2016, Pope Francis took 12 Muslim Syrians from three different families into the Vatican as refugees. In June, he welcomed nine more Syrians as Vatican City refugees, seeming very symbolic to many individuals throughout Europe and the rest of the world. The refugees that were brought into the Vatican were very grateful for the Pope’s “gesture of hope” and some even went on to call him a savior.
Excuse me? Where does he get off telling any other country what to do? And the very country he lives in:
TERROR attacks across Europe have sparked a new push to see illegal immigrants sent home from Italy as the police are told to toughen up on refugees in 2017.
The UN and the rest of the world can cry foul all they want but they DON'T make American policy.
Canada says they welcome ALL, so let them build a nice, safe refugee city on 1 or 2 of their many large islands in the north and give 'em all a free ride on their taxpayer's shoulders.

Seems all the smart people are getting on board and the rest were hoping for President Hillary Obama Clinton.

Suited them just fine when they were Trump bashing while riding the Hillery train. Guess it doesn't feel quite as good when the shoe is on the other foot and being shoved up your own ass.

The fact is, should S, Korea (and Japan) be denied missile defense, it'll only tend to bring them together in the first place, despite their lingering WWII grievances, and encourage development by them of their own nuclear capability. The Japanese PM has already mentioned it supportively, and both countries are capable of developing the weapons as well as the delivery systems should they so choose.
Not sure where you get your information from but when Trump mentioned on the campaign trail that he wouldn't be against pulling America's Protection Umbrella away from Japan and S. Korea and letting them arm themselves with nuclear weapons, both leaders nearly pissed themselves with fear.
Also, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), formerly Theater High Altitude Area Defense, is a United States Army anti-ballistic missile system designed to shoot down short, medium, and intermediate range ballistic missiles in their terminal phase using a hit-to-kill approach.
We have better stuff on our carriers, submarines and allied land bases that can neutralize anything China has. A deal can be made with Russia to cut missile supply lines to areas on the M.E. IF they have somewhere else to get money to take care of their people.
Again, people looking at the little picture. This is a whole new world, made so by antiquated thought and radicals. It's about time some new moves were made to reshape global thinking. You can see where "more of the same" has taken us in the last 50 years.

Merkel said on Monday the global fight against terrorism does not warrant putting groups of people under suspicion, adding Trump's order to restrict people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States violates the spirit of international cooperation.
So, these countries in question slaughtering Christians PURELY for religious reasons AND traveling to other countries PURELY for the sake of slaughtering inocent men, women and children PURELY based on their religion IS in (her version) the spirit of international cooperation??
You know what Merkel, YOU run YOUR country YOUR way and we'll let our elected President run our country OUR way.

" China has objected to THAAD, saying it will destabilise the regional security balance, leading to calls from some South Korean opposition leaders to delay or cancel it. "
WOW, does China not think North Korea with a capable Nuclear Weapon doesn't 'destabilise' the regional security balance ? You can't make this up folks.
China's objection is founded in the fact that that missile defense system can also take out their missiles thus reducing their threat in defending their claim on the south china seas.
Once Trump and Mattis have S. Korea well armed with deterrents and have Russia all lined up with trade agreements, China will cease to be a threat to anyone, thus destabilizing N. Korea.
Why do so many people focus on the little picture? Good thing you're not in the White House.

Do tell: who at the Department of Justice approved the executive order?
Let me help you out with that:
"
A Justice Department spokesman told The Huffington Post on Monday that that Office of Legal Counsel has traditionally answered the “narrow question” of whether executive orders are lawful on their face and properly drafted. The spokesman said that continues to be the case in the first 10 days of the Trump administration.
“OLC has continued to serve this traditional role in the present administration, and to date has approved the signed orders with respect to form and legality,” the spokesman said."

Or it might have been a reference to Trump's inner circle of Advisors.
That's a good idea but without the Russians, Syria and Turkey such plans Trump cannot succeed unilaterally by a joint US and Saudi Arabia effort. Maybe Trump can get Russia's support if the US gives up the Eastern European countries to Russia.
Would you please supply a list of the Eastern European countries presently under US control.

All four states went for Hillary. New York, Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington State. That says it all.
They may also be looking for a new job while their replacements overturn the rulings.
What I find TRULY AMAZING is, for the 1st time for as far back as I can remember, we have a president that made campaign promises, got elected and then MADE GOOD ON THOSE PROMISES and people are freaking out!

Many Great Teachers here in the land of smiles! Too bad only the really bad ones get the press. Great job Khun Kru! Love positive stories with positive endings. :)

The order of the judge is correct and protects the rights of people to enter who already have Green Cars; Immigrant and Non Immigrant Visas. Donald Trump's order violates the US Constitution and the judge's order upholds our Constitution. This has nothing to do with labels; political correctness or political affiliation. Trump is finding out he cannot do whatever he wants. He also has to obey the law and we will see more of these cases because Trump and his cabinet/advisors appear to be quite ignorant of the US Constitution.
If you care to read the constitution and the law - it clearly states that the POTUS has complete power and authority to block any non-citizen from entering the USA.
ETA: The Constitution of the United States does NOT cover people who are NOT citizens of the United States.

On Topic of Words on the SoL - That was from 180 yrs ago when only men in bright colored uniforms, standing in straight lines, firing 1 shot at a time were involved in wars while all the women and children were left safely behind.
It's a brand new world today. That statue is nothing more than a photo-op for tourists now.
President Trump is doing the right things AND he's NOT kissing anybody's ass or asking permission 1st.
Labeling America as a country of immigrants without labeling MOST countries the same is just narrow minded and stupid. By that definition, most of Europe is Muslim and Roman and everybody else is an immigrant.
Where's the world uproar at Australia for keeping all those "refugees" on that island until they could ship them off?
Where's the world uproar at all the Jewish/Israelis that fled Europe during WWII and are now trying to claim the country of Palestine as their own because the Palestinians allowed them to settle to avoid the Nazi death camps?
President Trump said flat out that he doesn't want people coming to America for the sole purpose of causing trouble. With new rules comes new adjustments and tweaking of the system.
He's 100% correct to tell Europe they screwed up and the US will NOT be doing the same thing.
Suck it up cupcake.
Hungary builds new high-tech border fence - with few migrants in sight

So, it seems completely alright with the world if every country EXCEPT the U.S. puts up walls and fences to protect their borders. Too many hypocrites in the world today.
