He thinks he's right. He's not. Though I agree misguided is probably the wrong word. I think people with severe confidence deficits are often fueled to belittle those who are bigger than they are, and who display more promise and integrity.

Those who possess a greencard can no longer come back.
It also means those who are in the country already, are potentially illegal now.
Some dem reps are on twitter right now blasting this shit.
Right but that's not how he keeps getting away with this awful shit, that's how did he even get to be in this position in the first place.
Which while entwined is a separate issue, whether people will learn to swallow their pride in the midterms will be interesting (read depressing) to see though

Yes, if you have a green card and are from the 9 countries currently listed. It is worth noting its for 3 months, but god knows what happens after those 3 months.
correct.

They no longer have any say in how this government is run.
They have been prostrated by Trump and Bannon.
That's right. Democrats AND Republicans both.
They no longer run the US government. The right-wing media runs the US authoritarian regime.
And that's why they consider the mainstream media to be the opposition party.

I wonder if this how it felt for republicans every second obama was in the White House. The obama hate was so passionate even when he wasn't doing anything.
Obama speech on hope: republican rage
Trump stops muslims from entering US legally: democrat rage

Just listened to this podcast episode (from January 10th)
From Princeton to Prison: The Rise and Fall of My American Dream
From Princeton to Prison: The Rise and Fall of My American Dream
And then you reach the end, hear the hope in his voice about the United States despite his life being ruined, and it really hits you how much we fucked up
Undoubtedly it gets extended. Trump the fuckface will just claim he made the US safer (with no real proof, of course), and extends the ban. And his fascism loving supporters will lap it up.
Dutch news is reporting that KLM has refused to take on 7 passengers since the announcement, since they are responsible for the cost of the return journey.

Are they on 9 o'clock news?
Right, but aren't they tied to the text of the Executive Order in question? Either we have customs officials taking it too far on their own accord by stopping anybody with a passport from one of the seven counties, or the White House gave explicit orders to do so despite the more limited text of the executive order.

His statement about the press being the enemy was pretty telling.
He said things like 'quote this' and then really laid into them over the defeat, the embarrassment, etc. He bundled the Dems, press and all 'others' into one ball, which he had now kicked into the gutter. It was 'FUCK YES I HAVE HAD YEARS OF PAIN AND NOW I GET MY OWN BACK'.
Small problem is insecure immature irrational douchebags hurt a lot of people in their impossible quest for having their own inadequacies and failings erased from history.
Yep
If something bad happens on US soil, he gets to double down and go even more hardline because obviously this ban wait sorry 'suspension' doesn't go far enough.
If nothing bad happens he gets to take credit for it.

Putting fuel on the fire that is dividing the nation. It's getting scary, fast. I am legitimately worried.
And millions more voted against it.

But lost.
I can already see where this is going. This law isn't even going to stop ISIS related terrorist in the U.S., consider most of them were caused by American born Muslim citizens. What he just did added fuel to the fire and gave ISIS more recruiting power. When another ISIS terrorist attack happens in the U.S., it will be from an American Muslim citizen, and Trump is going to use that to likely start tossing every Muslim citizen into camps as he declares a national crisis, just like FDR did.

That sounds like a pretty good reason for another terrorist attack.

It will be expanded both in length and countries, i'm sure.
Things are going to escalate, and its going to get bad, and fast.
I truly believe America needs to revolt, protest and demand the administration step down. Their political system has failed them and their interests.
True, but shit like this is why Trump will face opposition from the people every step of the way. In some form or another.
And many millions didn't vote at all and were cool with this possibility
People like to pull the popular vote card but reality is most of America voted for this or didn't care

Theres going to be alot of people that will get satisfaction for seeing these poor souls suffer. Appalling display of humanity from America, this is the lowest I've seen your nation reach, I never thought there would be a day where this would take place from a 1st world nation. Deeply upsetting. Imagine your belief of this great nation giving you a new beginning, then to have it snatched for no reason. No reason other then being associated to a small part of the world.

f someone already posted this I apologize, but here's the lawsuit filed on behalf of 2 Iraqi citizens and is asking to be applied to everyone in their "class" (people from the banned countries)

We're gonna have to rely on the judiciary to provide some relief from all this bullshit, the fact that Schumer or Warren isn't at one of these airports with cameras raising hell is sickening.

Of course.
It's amazing that Iraqis. People who have helped us in the fight against a terror. A consummate Ally against ISIS. Are being denied. It's embarrassing. We're creating our own enemies now.
Our allies can't trust us anymore. Back away. Don't look to us to be any sort of moral compass in the world. Operate on your own.
A transgender Iraqi woman being denied entry to the US is like best case scenario for a huge chunk of his base. The story is heartbreaking but I don't think anyone who recognizes the human cost here will have supported donald.Expect to see more of this

Wait, so if you already have a house/job/life in america, you still would be send back to a country where you have nothing? With no real warning beforehand? How the fuck is that legal?
B-but how? What they could do that would have negative effect on US or US citizens? Meaningful US citizen presence in Iran?

Hope the federal courts can act quickly to issue a stay. At what point does this go to an emergency appeal to SCOTUS?

Can I run as a democrat in 2020 with the promise of deporting anyone who voted for Donald Trump?
We're already there. Anyone who is from anyone of these countries being detained (now lawfully I might add) may get put into a detention center or camp while being processed. Seriously, every American right now has got to feel a little like the Nazi's right now.

Many tech companies have Iranian employees.
I would assume they could prevent business activities from US companies.

Man those tax breaks are going to be delicious!
I just don't think they'd be allowed back in. Last night a read that google sent out something telling their employees not to leave the country.

I will call my local MP and request they see about Canada reaching out to the refugees effected by America turning their back on them. I urge other people living in Canada to do the sam.

A not so insignificant portion of hard-line Trump supporters will likely be ok with this, if not gleeful.
This kind of stuff only adds fuel to the fire of people becoming radicalized, especially people who were so close to coming only to be told "fuck off" by fear mongering.
But what if you went on holiday/business trip etc at the exact wrong time? Tough luck, your life is over, get a new one? There was like no official warning about when this would go into effect.
