Someone else had a clarification but I have no idea.
So what the fuck does that mean in practical terms?
It’s definitely Bannon. One of the other orders signed today added Bannon to the National Security Counsel while removing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Dir. of National Intelligence.

yes.
I have. they’re fucking stupid.
I do. they’re all fucking stupid.
the next person from the midwest who tries to bring up 9/11 to justify this to me is getting hit with a ClueX4.
Good. This is asinine. Even if you hate Muslims this executive order is a poorly written piece of garbage that affects people you don’t hate.
yeah, but unless the current supreme court is going to stick with precedent from the 1800s (which I doubt they would), it will eventually get overturned.
I grew up in DC, live in NYC now (and my whole family is from NYC... since before Ellis Island was a thing). We’ve put up with such fucking bullshit from “Real Americans” for too long. Coastal bubble my ass, at least we *try* to give a shit about the rest of the country.
From what I’ve seen, there’s a lot of lawyers volunteering - https://refugeerights.org/urgent-call-protect-refugees-arriving-at-airports/
So that’s something at least.
What’s really depressing is the thing that surprised me *the most* of everything that happened this week was finding out Gorbachev is still alive.
The wording is explicitly designed to ban muslims while not actually saying so, which makes it tricky. My guess is it’s probably not constitutional but it has to get challenged through the courts first unless he rescinds it or congress passes legislation over-ruling it.
Ashamed of my country, but proud of my congressman right now. As someone else I saw put it, the people who upset about Trump’s EOs are people who live, work and ride the subway with muslims and immigrants every day. The ones excited about them almost never do.
Someone was talking earlier on something (helpful I know but I have a cold and DayQuil fucks me up) and reminded me that most republican officials (excluding the dickheads like Pence) aren’t actually true believers. And just like with the ACA, they won’t know what to do with the car now that they’ve caught it.
Wrong
right? It’s like protecting the economic interests of his state should be vilified.
maybe focus on DeVos being a crazy evangelical nutjob who will brainwash their children away from the true Mormon Path.
