Trump Fires Acting Attorney General

a reply to: Reverbs

what a weird world you find yourself in.

What's weird that many Republicans actually believe he did anything except to make it worse. Even Pence is against him on his EO.

So the new norm now is to answer a post with "Obama did it"? I guess it's our fault since we've been saying that Bush did it (even though it's true).

You asked why those countries were chosen.

I just offered an explanation.

I understand. I already knew that. Not relevant as the point of the ban is to keep terrorists from coming here.

what is "it" that is worse?

I'm a democrat.

But I defend truth first so I know it can get confusing.

Fine line between insubordination and insurrection when a government agency head goes against a Presidential EO.

This acting AG made a "determination" without a precedent.

Very Very dangerous.

Sally Yates stood up to the unconstitutionality of the EO. Bravo to her for being on the right side of history and doing the right thing.

Also importantly, I love reading the right wingers' comments regarding this topic and all of you are cheering the fact that Gates was fired.

What you don't consider is how she reinforced the fact that Trump is a dictator. The global community and the US corporations have come out to denounce the muslim ban. The federal courts have already come out to say that the EO is unconstitutional.

Right wingers may rejoice of this, but the reality is that this is a huge black eye for Comrade Trump as he continues to dig his own political grave as the headlines of this will be plastered around the world.

Care to point out to me where in the constitution that it specifies that the POTUS cannot make an executive order? Care to point out in the constitution where the rights for non-citizens are? Can you PLEASE point out where the Commander-In-Chief cannot restrict ANYONE not a citizen from entering the country? Liberals using the term "unconstitutional" is a big red flag in any debate, since most have never read it.

I mean, I realize that you got your Counterfeit News Network briefing when you woke up and are just running with what you've been spoon-fed, but you have an internet connection and a brain. Can you please try to use both at once?

He isn't digging a political grave, btw. The majority of Americans support him. (See... 2016 election.)

The only grave being dug is the Progressive mass grave, cheered on by screaming snowflakes virtue posturing and protesting something that is entirely legal.

Please keep going. I'ma go get some popcorn.

Resentment I suppose. And a Christian family have already been turned away. It doesn't look good for us to the rest of the world.

She refused to do her job, so she was fired, what's the big deal? That's how it works in the real world. I guess people just aren't used to government being run efficiently like a business.

Not true.

Mike Pence has said in the recent past that a Muslim ban would be unconstitutional in his opinion.

President Trump's EO is not a ban on muslims and Mike Pence has praised it, clapping beside Trump as it was signed.

who cares if someone is christian?

We don't discriminate by race religion or Sex..

And the rest of the world.. Maybe they would resent us less if we stopped defending them all and giving everyone billions of dollars? Would that help?

Bush and Obama destroyed our good name across the world. We don't yet know how we will look in four years.

The law says the President has the right to do this, so thus it is the law.

(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

8 U.S. Code § 1182

Remember Nixon and the Saturday Night Massacre.

Trump is applying Alinsky rules upon those who thought they could use them - amatuers on overload and heads figuratively exploding.

Do things unexpected - yup
Overload system -yup
Denigrate them - yup
Use their rules against - yup

Gosh that just leaves take away their money, their healthcare system and educational system.

Say he's well on his way to destruction of progressives, uniparty, globalist cabal just as promised.

Press can't keep up, uniparty left in dust, libs flailing about while most of America cheers "about time"

Standard operating procedures under Obama's administration.

The acting AG probably assumed there would be no consequences.

This is not in the right spot but rumors that Assad is dead or in serious condition from a possible stroke or something else.I guess someone else can start a thread and move this to it.

Mike Pence has said in the recent past that a Muslim ban would be unconstitutional.

Giving Christians a preference over Muslims IS a Muslim ban.

Governor Mike Pence ✔ @GovPenceIN
Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.

What?
It's entirely relevant when the terrorists are coming from those countries.
And wrong again about Pence being against him.
Pence might have tweeted out something about it 1 year ago but now he is onboard 100%.
Gee it might be something to do with what they call daily intelligence briefings....they have more info about things than you or I do.
