Discussion: Priebus Says Travel Ban Will Not Affect Green Card Holders 'Going Forward'

When does Malaria get drunk late at night and channel Martha Mitchell?

It does affect green card holders going backwards. So I would advise those going backwards to wear their hats backwards to appear as if they are going forward.
I hope this clears up any misunderstanding, the Press may have caused

Judging from Priebus’s quotes this morning (can’t bear to actually watch him): “apologize for nothing”, berating Chuck Todd rather aggressively for his own mistake, certainly seems like someone’s sowing his oats.

He better enjoy while he can. Not really sure how long Bannon puts up with him. After all, Bannon suspects anything remotely associated with the “establishment”.

Yes. And a quote from the interview.

“I would suspect that if you’re an American citizen traveling back and forth to Libya, you’re likely to be subjected to further questioning when you come into an airport,” Priebus replied.

“It’s one step slightly below torture."

The whole thing is procedural when it comes to how those with green cards will processed, and in what order, by those put in charge. Therefore, the implementation becomes arbitrarily decided, which is why this initial EO becomes so dangerous, and so prone to the procedural abuse. There are no guidelines outlined in Trump’s EO since the motherfucker never coordinated with agencies that have to carry this out, or made any serious effort to get guidance from those who have to implement this mess.

You, as in the entire administration, have NO credibility. You lie more often than most people blink, and you’re not even ashamed enough to try to make your lies believable. The future truth and reconciliation commission will be merciless with you bastards.

“I understand that, but you’ve twice confused me, so I’m trying to understand the clarity,” Todd said.

In all fairness to Priebus, Todd is usually confused.

Priebus is in a tough spot – can’t admit banning Green Card holders was a major fuck-up, so he just says it won’t affect Green Card holders “going forward” and says nothing about what happened to them yesterday, and what his own administration was saying about it then. Because to discuss that, he would either have to admit they screwed up by including Green Card holders, or he would have to try to argue that they totally meant to cause a one-day ban on Green Card holders but had planned all along to lift that ban by today – which is not even remotely plausible. It was a huge overreach, and he knows it. But I guess he has to try to spin it as best he can.

Meanwhile, the text of the Executive Order does cover Green Card holders, so unless they issue a new one that doesn’t, all he’s really saying is that they won’t be enforcing that part of the order…unless, of course, they change their minds again.

Complete, utter bullshit. I hope the courts hand them a yuuuuuuuuuuge, embarrassing defeat on this. And then I just hope they actually follow the court rulings – because if they don’t, then we’re really on the fast-track to dictatorship.

He’s trying to understand the clarity? Lately I’m prone to speaking this kind of gibberish, but that’s because of my PTSD. He has no such reason.

Doubt it lasts that long. I posted a few days ago - “It’s going to be a long six months until the impeachment” but I’m now willing to give odds that it’s going to be less than that. A couple of months of this chaos and old school Republicans are going to have to bail and merge with some Dixiecrats for a reboot…

Sidebar observation: Notice the new in your face feminizing the Press appearing now? Today it’s talking too fast, slow down, don’t be so well emotional. Last week it was Ms Alternative Facts Conway’s don’t be so “dramatic” Chuck slur. The Press: just a bunch of “cucks” to these fascist pigs and their goon squad will love it. .

With Malleable Mike to save the day, Paul and Mitch might settle for impeachment.
