maybe because the terrorists are coming from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan?
Afghanistan isn't on the list.

Iran is, when is the last time an Iranian terrorist attacked America?

the same way in UK (2005) the terrorists were born in England but with parents from Pakistan, did UK close the borders to Pakistan?
:rolleyes:

But the governments aren't involved and so far their countries aren't involved in a civil war or occupied by terrorists, a bit different.
Even if this were true, so what? What has that got to do with the ban's ostensible aim which is to prevent jihadi infiltration until Trump "figures out what's going on." You know how many ISIS recruits come from Morocco and Tunisia for example? Tsarnaev brothers were Russian citizens, San Bernardino shooter was Pakistani, yet neither makes the list.

Anytime an American is killed in Israel because terrorism some how Iran is involved, anyway I think Iran should change and stop the no sense hate they have for Israel, they could be a powerful nation in the region but religion + hate = terrorism, I know a Persian girl who married a friends son, good people.

This torture line he's taken, so what it's okay to torture now then? I mean we know that they do it but there is a solid line of thought that it doesn't work and as far as I know nobody openly condoned it. But now, standard procedure?

Lost any moral high ground in that argument, but more so... What does it say?

I mean by Trump's standards it's a tiny lie, but he just claimed he predicted Brexit the day before the referendum when he visited Turnberry. He arrived the day after.

"You and your paper can feck off."
So the UK's unelected PM has announced that the unelected head of state has invited the guy who got the second amount of votes in the US election for a state visit.

Taking back control motherfeckers!

So basically he has bitten off more than he can chew and stuck his foot in his mouth in the process.
"Whether you believe it or not, doesn't mean it's not true". He actually said that.

Yup. All that was needed to be said was "You say you can prove it, but won't give me the facts yet. I say you can't prove it, and I don't have to give you any facts either in order to say that. Whether you believe it or not does not make it true"

Thought Trump did well at the May presser. Nothing bombastic, pro-Nato, Mattis overrides him on torture etc.

Or maybe the Left's view on the Trump Presidency.
You believe that what is going on in this thread is a product of political bias and not astonishment at the jaw dropping circus of this US incumbent government? Even a fecking Nazi would find the behaviours of this shower of fecktards worthy of ridicule. People may agree with isolationist, racist, religious exceptionalist and sexist policies but probably would like them not to be delivered by a bunch of thin skinned, amateurish, self serving idiots who would be out manoeuvred by a sixth form debating society if it wasn't for the fact they'd shout over them, deport the ones with funny accents and fondle the female ones. Competence, integrity and decorum are not bi-partizan political positions.

This kind of rant actually proves my point. Do you honestly believe there is much unbiased, neutral, or objective opinion in this thread?

A signifucant proportion of this thread is absolutely not predicated by poltical position (for a start "left" in US politics is barely left at all in may other countries) but is focusing on the objectively bizarre behaviours of the POTUS and his team. All opinions are subject to bias but do you honestly believe that the current actions of the POTUS in interviews and on Twitter (never mind anything else) are precedented or appropriate for the leader of a significant country?

Don't hold your breath... They never answer that question, brace for a dose of whataboutism....
