    • haha...this guy will justify anything with his convoluted pseudo intellectual theories.yuekit
    • A court has already blocked part of Trump's order and the Trump administration itself just reversed another part.yuekit
    • https://www.nytimes.…yuekit
    • which is consistent with this article since he says it's possible the executive order was a negotiation strategyIRNlun6
    • Reversing part of the order a day later sounds more like a fuck up than a strategy.yuekit
    • Also Adams' premise is that Trump is "negotiating" with the far right. But Steve Bannon, who apparently is the one writing these executive orders for Trump,yuekit
    • is part of the far right.yuekit
    • he's right about Trump doing politics in the same way he does deals for tacky real estateFax_Benson
    • less convincing on how that's not a terrible way to do politicsFax_Benson
    • We'll see. So far temporary bans, marches, and heated conversations are much better tradeoff to terror attacks and endless drone strikes.IRNlun6
    • terror attacks? sorry, did I miss something?fadein11
    • What terror attack?monospaced
    • This immigration issue has been heated, but forces tough conversation because of policy and not an act of terror.IRNlun6
    • That's if this is part of a larger strategy as the article claims.IRNlun6
    • Trump is winging it - there is no strategy - the fact he is already getting blocked 1 week in proves that.fadein11
    • Begining is good, end is not. "the peaceful Muslims will either have to do a lot more to help law enforcement find the terrorists" is not a caseBeeswax
    • I'm a peaceful muslim and I don't know one muslim who is an extremist around me to turn him to law enforcement. Except Tayyip.Beeswax
    • @beeswax - don't worry, some of us here get it... must be difficult hearing some of the vitriol spewed by the idiots on here.fadein11
    • These marches against the ban are great against extremists. It shows different people coming together to protest for common values.IRNlun6
    • If a goal of these extremists is to divide, this show of solidarity runs contrary to that goal.IRNlun6
