    Classic! After the right wing sensationalist reporting let's now cut to the facts. Trump has just issued a blanket ban on individuals from seven countries, even if they had been working in the US. Now let's look at the facts of Obamas executive orders..................

    As you can see there is not one blanket ban on all citizens from a certain country or number of countries. They are all perfectly routine exclusion orders as used by governments around the world in the course of modern diplomacy.

    And the source? A right wing Trump supporting "newsfeed"...................
    NEW STUDY : Obama Used Immigration Restrictions More Than the Past 5 Presidents!

    Again, Obama did identify the countries that needed to be banned prior to him leaving. Trump just continued.

    So are you saying that Obama is still in charge? I thought there was a law in the US that prevented any one person from holding power for more than two consecutive terms? Is Trump answering to Obama?

    I am really surprised at all of the stupid people going toprotest. Particularly the idiots from my country. What on earth do they think their whining is going to accomplish and with my countrymen, who the heck made it any of their business!

    Really. The media manipulation and mindless masses who believe their propaganda.

    We share a very long border and a nicely trimmed hedge would be about the only fence appropriate here because Canada does not have cheap labour stealing manufacturing jobs like the U.S.'s neighbour to their south.

    I think Trump is going to help bring those jobs back. And I applaud him. Not that my opinion means anything:heehee:

      I'm certain that redstar is more than capable of holding her own and expressing her beliefs and opinion. But, again, there comes a level/amount of counter argument from members where we have to realise that redstar is the only one "at the wicket batting" while a lot more members are "bowling". So I think we are putting our American friends under too much pressure by too many opinions and questions coming from too many directions:dunno:. Let's take a break and grab a cup of coffee.:coffee::snorky:

          Clueless, longk. When it comes down to it, it is not up to us to dictate the politics of another country and you are both out of order haranguing redstar.

            I don't think it is a case of "haranguing", dai, it's just a case of too many members trying to get their point across over too long a period of time...........I, for one, can be guilty of that.:wallbanging::doh::dunno::heehee:

              Nobody is 'haranguing' redstar or anyone else, and as far as I can tell, nobody is trying to dictate another country's politics.

              We are discussing a situation. Some of us are trying to understand it. That's not the same as trying to change it.

                  ARMANDII. Isn`t it about time this thread was closed, to save our American friends from having to keep defending their country, and a man who is the LEGALLY elected president?

                    I dont think the thread should be closed but as Armandii stated.
                    Every day some new revelation comes out in the media about Trump and it gets pounced upon, give it up for god sake.;):smile:

                      I don't think so, dai, but I can see your point. Admin try to be neutral and respect Free Speech and try not to step into Threads where ever possible. Such possibly controversial threads as this, and those in the past, usually only need for members to step back and take a breath while recognising that there is only one person in the "Blue Corner" while there may be four or five members in the "Red Corner".:dunno: I don't think any member posting in this thread is so unreasonable that they wouldn't recognise a point in the thread where perhaps a halt in a line of discussion is needed.
