    Can someone please explain how the travel ban is useful if it's only going to be in place for a mere 90 days? That seems like a temporary fix for what they consider a global crisis. I feel like I'm missing how this would fix a problem long-term, if it's only for 3 months.

    • useful distractionBonSeff
    • i understand the plan was to, plug the holes/adjust the vetting process, during the 90 daysGnash
    • mono - it won't achieve anything - it's just a big bold statement to make his daft supporters think he's going to change anything and as bonseff said a usefulfadein11
    • distraction. @gnash - the vetting process could be changed just as easily without the ridiculous ban, if naything the ban will make it harder no?fadein11
    • The U.S. already has extremely strict vetting...I was reading that it takes as much as two years to get in and they mostly only let in women and children.yuekit
    • So yeah, the idea that there was something broken with the vetting process seems to be something Trump pretty much made up to further his narrative.yuekit
    • I believe they felt that the vetting process would take some time to implement and he didn't want all the "bad dudes" to rush in during the transitionGnash
    • not saying it was the right thing, just their reasoning.Gnash
    • Oh, c'mon, Gnash ... there would be no gap left during your hypothesized "transition."monospaced
    • Right but like I said there is already a very strict vetting process, why would it take time to implement?yuekit
    • Fact is, they had no problem implementing it immediately the first day he pulled this mindless, fear-mongering stunt. Why would it be different this time?monospaced
    • ya, I'm no expert in policy implementation. I defer to those who know how it works. I'd just be guessing.Gnash
    • Maybe after 90 days he can tell us 'what the hell is going on'?BonSeff
    • As a general rule though, does Trump strike you as someone who looks seriously at the details for policies?yuekit
    • It's a mystery to me why anyone would take Trump seriously when he spews bullshit and lies on a nonstop basis.yuekit
    • People who standby the current vetting process as secure, cannot guarantee that it even works. Grumbling over change that doesn't affect them possibly.

    • yeah we know you love it omg, we kind of get that, feel free to enforce your point with another simplistic meme/cartoon.fadein11
    • Or maybe worries that interrupted service could affect new features of the iPhone 8 or 9.
      ********
    • Due to the overbearing need for muslim immigrants. Specifically those from Syria, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Yemen or Somalia.
      ********
    • Gotta make that choice, between yr iPhone and your health careyuekit
    • It would be nice if healthcare only costed $50-$75 per month with a 2-yr contract instead of $6-8k per year.
      ********
    • The travel ban isn't meant to do shit. It's a distraction and something for the stupid Trump supporters to latch onto.kona
    • If the current vetting process isn't secure, why implement a temporary, 90-day travel ban? Why would there be an interruption of service the second time around?monospaced
    • it just seems that a reconnaissance effort to survey the issue before allowing a viral threat of terrorism to spread seems sensible.
      ********
    • I think the new provisions to the travel ban will probably please the corporations, by allowing Apple to hire without interruption of any new features.
      ********
    • that makes no sense ... a 90-day, temporary travel ban is not a "reconnaissance effort"monospaced
    • And, if there is a "viral threat of terrorism" spreading, how the FUCK is banning travel for 90 days an actual solution?monospaced
    • Your note about Apple and corporations is absolute rubbish though, and is irrelevant to the question at hand. Troll hard you dumb motherfucker, troll hard.monospaced
    • My original question stands unanswered, even by the house fucktard and alt-right poster boy, omfg, god help his lost ass.monospaced
