Funny the Brazilians I know call this place America and their country Brasil, going back to anti-china I said that because most of the American products are made in china, if people stop buying the "American products" then the Chinese will be the ones suffering and the shareholders which I don't give 2 shits about it.I have no problem with China, and I clearly said US products! Please don't be like your ignorant leader and think you are America. Your country is the USA. America is a vast continent, some class it as two, but it's still way more than the USA. Have you any idea how offensive it is or how many people get upset that so many US citizens think they speak for the entire continent? I have Brazilian Mexican and Argentinian friends who cringe each time they hear someone refer to the USA as America.
Very good.

Nope, got me a passport!
This may well be true FFS he is worse than Chump from what I have read, more like out of the frying pan into the fire, US and the world are stuck with the Chump administration for 4 years.
I think gimp would be more accurate.
The media are cowards. They won't get close to saying anything like that.
Building a "wall" thats not needed? How is physically restricting the movement of race of people not fascism?
This is honestly one of the worst days of my life, I really really hope they lift the ban at least for green card holders at the end of 90 days, I will be deprived of seeing my sister and my nephews for the time being though saddens me to no ends.
Indeed. I remember a Spitting Image sketch with Maggie dressed a as a poodle giving Ronnie a good old rimming. Very apt.
I didn't say I didn't like it...but, he calls it his #FcukingWall
You gotta admit that's childish and petulant
Also the prioritising for people of a minority religion
Mate, you arent white, christian and rich. they dont give a shit. i am sorry for your circumstance but this is how its going to be lad.

Well when dealing with a 70 year old toddler what do you do?
What would Cheeto Jesus do?Feel for you bud...just pray, nothing happens in the next 90 days. Trump, Bannon and Co. are looking for an excuse to make it indefinite!
I think there will be exit and entry points.
I think the further we move away from WW2 the more acceptable these things will become. Hitler they didnt see coming even though he wasnt a million years away from Napoleon.
The entire thread. It is great entertainment.
Grinner lad it wouldnt matter if there was a Taco Bell every 5 miles, the idea of it is fascist within itself. Not to mention a huge fecking waste of money.
If it keeps you away from harpooning whales then thats good.
UPDATE:Green card holders from seven countries in Trump's ban have to be cleared in to U.S. on case-by-case basis - administration official
Assholes are just making it up on the run...ruining lives.

It's really not fascist. I agree it's stupid but the hysteria in here is getting ridiculous now.
"We're banning residents of Israel, not Jews."
"We're banning people from Chicago's South Side, not Blacks."
Thats your point of view, I see the targeting of a race (because its not just Mexicans that cross that border) as fascist.
"We are here to keep the peace in Belfast but not for catholics" is one I remember well.
Means nothing
The majority of his voters, voted for him because they liked his ideas and they will be over the moon with what they have seen so far
He has backed up a lot of his promises so far
They can't win with you can they. Maybe they should've just left it as is so they weren't making it up as they go.
As far as I can tell Muslims and Hispanics en masse haven't been banned from entering the US.
A politician making good on campaign promises, what's this world come to?
The ones from the countries on the list are.
And what happens when that list gets added to?
And what happens when that list gets added to?
That's just hand-wringing at the moment.
No he isn't banning over a billion people. But he is clearly targeting them and basically saying that they are no longer welcome.
I wouldn't be that hopeful. Nothing happens and they say the ban is working, something happens they say they need to expand it, something happens after the 90 days they say another ban is needed.
I didn't think he would at all
For some reason I had I on my head he would pussy out of a lot of what he discussed in his campaign
Sorry, of course they aren't going to win with him. Not with me either. You don't seem to understand it, Green card holders have been vetted, given visas and have been staying in the country for some time, with majority of them having jobs and paying taxes for your country. Trapping them at the airport is a shitty thing to do. Don't get on your fecking high horse right now about technicalities.
Targeting specific countries isn't targeting a religion, in fact 9 of the 10 most populous Muslim nations aren't even on the list.
No they can't win.
All they had to do was take an extra day or two...think this through and then come up with the bans.
Hundreds of thousands of lives are in question here. Forget about the refugees, asylum seekers or your average Iraqi wanting a visa.
Green card holders are folks who've paid their dues and are LEGAL residents, not citizens...but, residents. Off on a vacation and told - look you can't come back for 90 days. What happens to that individual, his family, his job???
Obviously someone has now realized, this was a clusterfcuk, so is amending the policy as we speak. This is not the day after 9/11. There was no need to be hasty to simply score political points.
And I don't think the ban is the worst thing ever, more muslims in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and Indonesia than any of the nations on the list.
There's no technicality. Some people just need to chill out and let the policy get revised before getting their e-pitchforks out.
Just a random thought like I said bro.
Remember that it's the most unpopular new President in modern history doing all this. Keep opposing.
What reason does a person who has worked at the white house have to come out and say this?
Also this guy is not being vague when he mentions "british press" having it. He specifically mentions the BBC. No one would do that knowing the possible legal consequences if it was outright false.
How about they get a proper policy in place before getting their pitchforks out?
