Actually I'm pretty sure I just read something that said that Obama let in something like 32K Christian refugees each year, compared to Bush that let in 22K

Well, I;m sure Trump believes it and that's all he needs to do. Believe it. Facts are for wimps.

I'm confused though, as I know for a fact I read that Putin had been advising Trump that safe zones in Syria were not a good idea. I'm a bit shaky on it all though.

Trump chief of staff: defense officials not off NSC after Bannon move

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/29/trump-priebus-nsc-steve-bannon?CMP=twt_a-world_b-gdnworld

They think Bannon's qualified for this because he was in the Navy for 7 years?!?! FFS. I absolutely despair.

GingerIvy · 29/01/2017 22:18

And no, I'm not dissing the USN, my dad was in the Navy, career, and an officer. Seven years so he can run the NSC? Crying.

Why would you target legal permanent residents unless your goal was to change the US ethnic makeup? There is a phrase for that.

Trump can snipe at senate GOP all he wants but here's the deal: 2-3 GOP senators can shut down entire Trump agenda. Until they do, all talk.

If they go back to the judiciary, the judge can send in the Federal Marshalls, and that's when it gets ugly.

'send in Federal Marshalls, and that's when it gets ugly'
which is what he or Bannon have been planning from the start.
