Support NeoGAF

[Hatty]

Man, it just keeps coming. I am not complacent but I am a little heartened that the Trump administration is just rolling right into these Ls.

Nothing is going to happen

 

[LiK]

Trump is gonna fire everyone now.

 

[BatDan]

Nothing is going to happen

CUT THAT DEFEATIST SHIT OUT! MAKE IT HAPPEN!

 

[SerTapTap]

Hahaha. Do you think they'll be too embarrassed to re-issue the EO? It's going to be extra easy to cut down in court now even without the visa revoking.

 

[Goro Majima]

Crazy since I always considered the DHS to be, by far, the most right winged department and they're the ones telling Trump "nah we don't see it".

Like I don't know who would support any kind of ban if they don't.

 

[PJV3]

No evidence for policy based on the ignorant fantasies of a fucking idiot. A shocking revelation.

 

[onadesertedisland]

But muslims are bad dudes?

 

[Shadybiz]

Wow, what a yuge, bigly surprise.

Fuck off, Trump. Never have I hated someone more.

[the_firewithin]

They will still be stupid enough to try the same countries. Gotta protect those business interests

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

One of the first responses I saw on twitter to this article is "You gotta remember that this report was written under the Obama Administration!!!!!"

sigh

 

[Garlador]

Don't forget, in addition to the media, apparently the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and now DHS are all fake news too, apparently.

sigh

But it's obama's list, meaning it's valid!! Damn Obama for ruining this travel ban, started by Obama. It's the Bush Recovery all over again

So they will use "These countries were identified by OBAMA!!!!" but also "This report that they're not that big a threat is from OBAMA!!!" at the same time.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug.

 

[Got]

Ever seen the Postal Police? I used to live near a major USPS hub and did a double take the first time I saw one of these.



I knew they had people who worked fraud and other crime, but I wasn't prepared for cruisers with lights.

lol, I wonder if they wear shorts in the summer?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

It took them that long to realize this?

I think the statistics on this were shown on my local news immediately when this bullshit happened

 

[obijkenobi]

Liberal commies over at the Department of Homeland Security are gonna get it from President Trump soon.

 

[parrotbeak]

Ya but this report released by DHS yesterday shows where the real threat is:

The link says Onion already but it's the Onion.

 

[MIMIC]

WH: These seven countries pose an imminent threat to the United States
DHS: That is fake news
WH: You're fake news

 

[DOWN]

Damn... That is something else

 

[commedieu]

Oh ok.

Whew.

 

[rokkerkory]

Price fired?

 

[SerTapTap]

The media seriously needs to step their shit up. There's no reason this shouldn't hit front pages with "Trump rejects objective facts"

“The president asked for an intelligence assessment. This is not the intelligence assessment the president asked for,” a senior administration official told the Journal. However, Homeland Security spokesperson Gillian M. Christensen also criticized the report, calling it "an incomplete product that fails to find evidence of terrorism by simply refusing to look at all the available evidence."

 

[Acinixys]

Haven't more people in the US been murdered by US citizens than by foreigners (from any place) in the last few years?

Yes

But 90% of the people on earth are retarded

Literally 2 seconds of google

Im pretty sure you are more likely to get killed by a toilet or a hippo than by terrorists

 

[daviyoung]

That's fine. They're going after alternative terrorists.

 

[dankir]

More like Department of Homeland Fake News Security right? Lol this will be great for his reactions

 

[StoOgE]

It's almost as if this was about scoring cheap political points with the xenophobic republican base, and not about helping to make us safer at all.

The president wants an intelligence assessment that supports his unfounded claims, and if you can't find any supporting evidence then you aren't planting it hard enough.

 

[nintendoman58]

I wonder if they can use this in the courts.

Nothing is going to happen

why do people keep saying this at this point.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Trump: They don't pose a threat because I banned them all.

 

[mAcOdIn]

I was under the impressions that the reason these countries were on the list in the first place had nothing to do with it's citizens and more to do with how their governments worked with ours regarding vetting, intelligence sharing and stuff like that. So this is really just saying things that we already knew worded differently.

If this is the case I'd love to know more, got any links?

It was always a forgone conclusion that Trump was going to deny this, but to be so blatantly dismissively biased about it...we're so fucked
