I happen to know a few Trump voters personally, they're definitely not bad people, but seem to display a disturbing lack of empathy.

Sean Spicer said it. Even 5-year-olds and 4-month-olds might be a threat.
But seriously, this precisely shows why a blanket ban is dumb and unfair. His stupid supporters should realize getting a US visa is very hard for Iranians. I was trying to make an appointment for my parents last year. I started the process in September and there was no appointment available. I used every tool that I could. I used bots to refresh the page and let me know when a appointment opens up. I even wrote a bot myself because I thought the other one is broken. Finally in November I could make an appointment for July! That got cancelled on Monday after Trump signed the order.

Yeah. I recall that. Really is a shame that all this is happening because a two year old is in the white house.

I was reading that the US wrestling team that competed in Iran in 1998 was the first US sports team in Iran since the 1979 revolution. They have competed in Iran 20 times since then. Sad to see that politics are trashing this now.
I do remember that. It was a big big deal. I think Iran is the only country in which 12000 people go and watch wrestling matches :D

It would have been a great opportunity for Iran to do the right thing for once ffs :(

Btw, don't know about you but I have found myself defending Islamic Republic like never before in the past few days lol, bizarre days :D
Yeah they should've kept the moral high ground. But I think they may overturn it after an "order" of some sort.
I truly mean it that Islamic Republic has the moral ground vs. this clown. They have done and are doing so many horrible things, but at least they always try to save face. Just take a look at Khamenei twitter for comparison.

That is really frustrating. I bet the Donald and his acolytes don't even know the difference between Sunni and Shia and that Iran is one of ISIS's biggest enemies on ideology alone.

But but but... Hillary is the corporate shill for Wall Street and Banks.

:rofl:
Mnuchin said they'll strip it back in the end of November. It's not new news. But like all things Trump, his supporters refused to see it.

The clown is saying if we had made an announcement that say in a week from now no visa will be issued for Iranians, all "bad dudes" would have gotten to the US during that period. As if bad dudes or even good ones for that matter can make an appointment and finish the background check process in a few days. Just goes to show how unaware he is of literally everything he's dealing with.

@Enron can link you to a radio interview he posted here last year early in the campaign, where Trump was being interviewed by fairly friendly and neutral journalist. Questions were light ones about foreign relations knowledge, specifically about middle East, if Trump knows the players there. Syria, Iran, Gulf, the players, Shia submit Muslim and their differences. He litterally had no clue, was flustered and kept saying I have the best people I will delegate to. The best people...


I'm too lazy to search for that interview. But remember Andy defending his complete ignorance about this at the time.

Yesterday morning. Trump is looking like an idiot now.
Just when you think he can't look more like an idiot, he tweets about the judge calling him "so-called judge" and whines that he "takes away the law enforcement from our country".
