Missed that. Now it makes sense. He has to protect his financial interests. Thanks for answering when others were too scared to cite that little factoid.

Google is your friend. Try it and you will learn how and when the list of countries was developed.

Most American voters support limited travel ban: poll | Reuters
I thought polls were fake? I also thought we did not trust online polls? It is confusing.


Anyway, I also 'support' the present travel ban, as it is now interpreted. I was not one of those that argued that the President had 'no authority' to impose such travel restrictions, but I did think 'Ban No. 1' was ill-advised and poorly implemented. I doubt the current version will do much good, but it does make some feel warm and fuzzy inside.


Anyway, it is, by its own terms, temporary, until Trump implements 'severe' vetting (although he had already done so, May 5th, as I noted in another thread).

Polls can be twisted anyway the pollster wants it to be. This is another example.

It's part of the show. It makes people THINK they are safer.

Meanwhile, the real problem, is radicalizing over the internet, people who are here already.

But if it makes some people think or believe they are safer...that new visas not being issued to those six countries is keeping us safe....have at it.

- If you guys post it twice do you think a Trump Hotel will magically appear in Saudi?

- lol (Do people post lol now when they forget to transition from a Teen Chat room to the CD political forum?)

- Do people use the word Factoid (instead of the word Fact) when they're pulling information out of their *ss (and have no idea if it's accurate....an actual fact.....or not)?

It'll be nice when high school gets back in session.
