Discussion: Trump Pivots: Only Muslims From ‘Terrorist Countries’ Would Be Banned

…or a second generation American of Muslim descent who actually committed the worst mass murder in U.S. history. He reminds me of GWB/Cheney’s idiotic rationale for attacking Iraq that National Security expert Richard Clarke compared to deterring further terrorist attacks as follows: “Attacking secular Hussein who abhorred Al Qaida and had nothing to do with 9/11 would be like attacking Mexico for what Bin Laden did.”

All Trump is doing here is following the NRA playbook of drawing attention away from the automatic weapons and 30 round clip “WMD’s” used in many a mass killing to a straw man piñata.

“I want people that have bad thoughts out,” he said.

If all the people who have bad thoughts about him were made to leave the US the population would be reduced to about 30 million overnight.

Better not let any Saudis into the country then. I’m sure they’re going to love that!

There was a petition to ban him from the UK…

Strangely Tyson’s name (he’s a Trump supporter) is still on the list.

And they used flip-flop sandals as a representative icon. I’m thinking the equivalent icon for Drumpf would have to be a neck brace.

It would be safer to round them all up and put them in a supervised location where we can keep an eye on them 24-7, and make them work for their keep. Though I suppose the identifying mark on their clothes would be a good intermediate step!

Too bad those FEMA work camps are already booked. Maybe they could just secretly close some Wal-marts and use those?

People who worked as translators for US forces in ‘terrorist countries?’

We’re already getting ahistorical about this. It’s not the worst mass murder in U.S. history, just the worst mass shooting. The Oklahoma City bombing caused 168 deaths!

“I want terrorists out. I want people that have bad thoughts out. I would limit specific terrorist countries and we know who those terrorist countries are,” Trump also said.

It’s tough but fair. The goodthinkful proles of Oceania have nothing to fear from Miniluv. Room 101 is only dangerous for agents of Goldstein.

The thing is, keep them all out - unless Trump personally approves them, then it’s ok. See, he’s not racist!

Trump: This is how I act Presidential.
ISIL: We will move our operations to countries, not on the terror list.
GOP: ISIL should come to the US as they can buy Assault Rifles in the open market without any background check.

Trump: All countries are “Terrorist Countries”. That means all Muslims are still banned. I am just being Presidential and getting some free media time.

Hillary and Elizabeth are going to have sooooo much to talk about on Monday. The Donald has delivered the goods; brought home the bacon. How much time do they have at their joint appearance? They should double it.

Wow, you are so on it. Remember Gore or Kerry who flip flopped and the absolute refusal to appreciate an actual change of opinion.

Perhaps this can be expanded to the media. Josh’s tweets?
