Oooo, I didn’t even of the implications for Palestinians.

I’m stealing this.

All of those countries have been failed states for years, and yet terrorists from said countries have killed a grand total of 0 people in the United States. And don’t give me that “failed state” bullshit, when Lebanon isn’t on the ban list. And the EO revoked rights for people who already have green cards, i.e.,…

Right, I’m just trying to illustrate that if the intention is “protecting our national security”, this list is bullshit. Which it is, because it’s never been about “national security”.

Or if nothing else, way smarter. I guess the closest isn’t Red Skull (Orange Skull?), but he is way, way smarter. His plans had layers inside layers. Like Trump’s hair, I guess.

Shit, that was the other one I forgot! Lebanon?! Fucking Lebanon, which has more or less been in a state of war with Israel for the last 30 years isn’t on the ban list. Also, Pakistan, aka, the country bin Laden was actually fucking hiding in.

But seriously, the ones we need to watch out for are the Syrians. The whole…

And if I pull a brain muscle doing mental gymnastics, I could ALMOST see lettings the Saudis in. Totally fucked up for all the reasons you listed, but hey we’re buddies or something (with friends like these, AMARITE?)

But Egypt?! Egypt has had, what, 2? 3? revolutions this decade? A real fucking model of stability…

Dude, stop. Comparing Lex Luthor to Donald Trump is completely inappropriate.

Not surprising taxi workers are protesting this, I imagine they have lots of representation from the list of countries on the EO. Good on them.

If I squint hard enough I can almost see the justification for this...then I remember none of the countries that the 9/11 hijackers were from are part of the ban. And Dear…

I’m starting to think ‘murica’s next great military boondoggle is going to be an invasion of Mexico.

Oh calm down! Mexico is getting nuked first, THEN Canada.

That’s why the morons like him; he speaks their language.

Yea Jalopnik has been hilarious recently. Since all this shit DIRECTLY affects the price and availability of cars, and is absolutely newsworthy for an automotive blog. But every time something is written about the business ramifications of Trump’s trade ideas, people come out of the woodwork to say “BUT JALOP USED TO…

QED

Or was so awful in the sack that its Ciara that’s coming out.

Added: getting into a tariff pissing match would be awful for us. We sell a lot of castings to Mexico, and margins on cast iron are tiny. Plus, a lot of the castings we send to BMW in South Carolina goes all over the world. Between that and the tooling and raw materials we get from overseas, yea. If the numbers being…

I work in Appalachia for an automotive supplier. We are insanely busy right now, but that’s more related to the fact that a lot of the companies that do what we do (ductile cast iron castings) went out of business during the financial collapse. For the time being, things are good; we have castings on a lot of very…

A person costs $40-$50k a year just in salary; that’s not including benefits or any workers comp issues. Cutting out employees is the easiest way to save money; adding a quarter million dollar capital automation project to cut out 2-3 people pays for itself in 2 years or less. Not that I have direct experience looking…

Wait so does it only limit RPM or is it supposed to limit top speed? Because I don’t think there’d be anything funnier than seeing the guys who rode around in an old beetle and said “Ho boy, we need to make sure the top speed is governed on this monster!”

That’s just alternative air and alternative water you commie. (/s)
ETA: I feel so stupid that I have to specify that statement was sarcasm.
