Random Politics & Religion #19

On another note, Google recently added an "Executive Orders" section as a part of their news feed. I'm sure it was purely a business decision with absolutely no agenda.

Hold on, still listening in for the part about visas.

Customers at an Italian restaurant near one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in San Antonio allegedly left a racist message for the restaurant’s owner Friday, vowing not to return because he is Mexican.

“The food was tasty and the service was attentive,” the customers reportedly wrote on a receipt left at Di Frabo Ristorante Italiano near the Dominion development on Friday. “However, the owner is ‘Mexican.’ We will not return.

“America First,” the note concluded. The customers racked up a $53 tab before leaving the racist message.

The phrase “America First” has risen to prominence under President Donald Trump, who repeatedly used the phrase since he first launched his presidential bid in 2015.

Owner Fernando Franco is from Mexico City but now lives in San Antonio. Franco said he and his wife were dining in the restaurant Friday afternoon, but he was also speaking to his manager in Spanish. Once the lunch crowd cleared out, the manager approached him with the receipt, Franco said.

“I hope this is not going to get worse, that my family’s not going to be at risk in any way,” Franco said.

The restaurant took to Facebook to address an outpouring of support after a photo of the receipt circulated on social media over the weekend. One tweet has received almost 12,000 retweets as of Monday morning.

“Thank you to everyone who has been showing us so much love and support today,” the restaurant wrote in a Facebook post Saturday, using the hashtag #strongertogether.

One commenter wrote, “God bless you, sir. Keep up the good work. You are employing people that otherwise would not have a job. And you are contributing to this state and nation’s economy by paying your taxes. That customer was an idiot and is setting a terrible example to his children.”

I got Vic blocked but it's funny seeing how clueless he is there. The absolute worst thing Trump can do right now is to admit he might be wrong, it would only embolden the liberals and encourage them to continue their antics. If anything they would just protest harder, this time for automatic amnesty and citizen to all illegals or something similar. Also it would make him the fall guy should anything *bad* happen, which something will. No he's going to let this play out and if any changes need to made, they will be done at a later date and in a fashion that doesn't lose credibility or make him the fall guy for when the next crazy dude from the middle east decides to blow something up.

It wouldn't even have to be related to this EO, just the mere appearance and the resulting shaming tactics used by the left would be enough.

Awww my feelings are so hurt. Trump was wrong the second he issued that EO and everyone knows it, he has already had to walk back several provisions and now DHS is trying to take the fall for him.
As far as "shaming tactics" Trump is doing it all by himself by attacking the American judge. Keep believing that this was all part of Trump's "plan." Its cute.

Trump was wrong the second he issued that EO and everyone knows it,

he has already had to walk back several provisions

now DHS is trying to take the fall for him.

What, by doing what Obama has done in the past, which is to block visa issuance from several countries deemed high risk (btw, in case you haven't realized it, Trump never named the countries, he used already named countries that your hero made before he left office).

No he hasn't.

They were the ones that *** up.

Uh, yes he has had to make alterations to the original EO.

And no, Obama never tried to block current visa holders from entering the country.

...

As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News – even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets. One Iraqi who had aided American troops was assassinated before his refugee application could be processed, because of the immigration delays, two U.S. officials said. In 2011, fewer than 10,000 Iraqis were resettled as refugees in the U.S., half the number from the year before, State Department statistics show.

...

This isn't hard.

Yeah so, refugee applicants don't have visas...

Yeah so, refugee applicants don't have visas...

Either way:

A) You still haven't proven any "alterations" to Trump's EO.
B) The list of countries on Trump's EO was provided by the Obama Administration.
C) You still haven't countered that this wasn't the *** of the DHS.

The funniest part is that suadi arabia isn't on the list.

The funniest part is that suadi arabia isn't on the list.

I pointed that out the day the EO was issued. Omits the 4 countries that the 9/11 terrorists came from. I mean I get that Trump copied Obama, but nothing was stopping him from actually doing something on his own.

The funniest part is that suadi arabia isn't on the list.

Kelly argued, as he did last week, that the ban was imposed in larger part because official records in the seven countries are too inadequate to prove that travelers “are who they say they are.” And he appeared to try to emphasize how little the United States knows about such countries and their people by pointing out the U.S. has no embassy in four of the seven countries.

Fair enough get them a Discover card then ?
