And now Milo is laughing all the way to the bank:

Berkeley Blowback: Milo Book Sales Soar 12,740% Overnight | Zero Hedge

Hopefully boosting book sales via a few crushed skulls and busted out Starbucks windows doesn't become a "How to be a NYT Bestseller" formula.

 

Did the media do this to Obama? Did they find any little protest and run it nonstop to make it seem as though he was loosing support? It only makes him stronger!

Because NO ONE wants to attend top US business schools, except those on the travel ban list.

Who cares? There are lengthy waiting lists for top schools, and the people next on the list have money that's as green as everyone else's.

Bye, Felicia!

That statement is so beyond the realm of ordinary stupidity, it's mind-boggling. That's not even felony stupidity, that's death penalty stupidity.

Sure, let's let everyone from identified terrorist-supporting nations into the United States. THEN they'll love us and won't try to take down our skyscrapers and shoot up our nightclubs.

EUREKA!!! We just have to be nice to them!!!

 

It's impossible to have a rational conversation with "the crazies." It's also hard to believe that "the crazies" have been with us since the creation of Adam and Eve. There is something in the gene pool.

 

He is implementing his campaign promises one by one going down the list. That is totally amazing. I disagree with all of the campaign promises he has ordered so far. That is totally not amazing. I'm adult enough to shrug and get over it.

All in all he looks a lot like he's going to end up the 5th President in a row I have trouble telling from Carter once he's no longer in office. All of them I predicted would be single term Presidents. Knowing that my batting average on this prediction is 20%, I'm not predicting the outcome in 4 years this time. I'll be doing a small amount of campaigning for Libertarians as usual.

He has managed to draw more hate than Obama. I didn't think that was possible. The funny part is the people spewing hate about Trump say it's about him not about them. Not even the ones who spewed hate about Obama tried that mental trick. It's a new low not just by a President but by a large group opposing a President.

 

Our American graduate schools are dependent on their ability to attract students from Libya, Yemen and Syria, didn't you know? What a potential gold-mine for Canadian universities!

In real life, I doubt whether a significant number of conventional travelers from these 7 countries were going to enter the United States during the 90 days anyway. Certainly Americans aren't flooding in the other direction. (I believe that the State Department has had travel warnings in place for some time advising Americans not to visit those countries and any Americans there to leave.)

It's all a bogus issue in my opinion, largely symbolic. Beyond giving protestors another occasion to bash Trump, it apparently offends the international elites' post-nationalist open-borders ideal and the widespread belief among foreigners that they should have the right to dictate the terms of their own entry into the United States.

 

What "travel ban list"?

You know, that's a non sequitur so big I initially couldn't believe a person with graduate degree can spout it in good faith. Then I remember how naïve people tend to be about these matters. No one who ever sat inside U. S. consulate waiting for a visa interview, breathing the air of anxiety from fellow applicants, can ever take statements that U. S. takes "everyone" from any nation, even ally, let alone "terrorist-supporting", seriously. The first thing the order did was revoking duly-issued, immigrant and non-immigrant, visas. And oh, banned UN- and DHS-screened refugees (most of whom, by U.S. explicit preference criteria, are women and children). In future (and this provision is still in force) - called for government to publish regular "alien crime" bulletins, in best imitation of Völkischer Beobachter.

U.S. visa regulations, unlike most other areas of law, are explicitly "guilty until proven innocent" (subject to non-reviewable final decisions on a consular officer, usually under Sections 214(b) and 221(b) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act, H.R. 2580). I'm not sure it can be any other way, but for applicant this is rather demoralizing. The executive order declared groups of people inadmissible, based on nationality alone, without opportunity to even enter the building to plead one's case (consulates are cancelling already scheduled appointments). These visa applicants include people most sympathetic towards US in these societies. It also disrupts lives of thousands already in US on work and student visas, and scares and confuses green card holders and even naturalized citisens. I might ask my friend, a Syrian-Canadian, how she and her rather lovely extended family feels about it.

(note: the "terrorist-supporting" countries were identified in order to subject people that'd normally avoid scrutiny to normal consular processing. Namely, citizens of wealthy Western countries that enjoy visa-free travel who recently traveled to one of these countries. No one was banned.)

 

You. have. no. clue.

 

10 MBA students at UofT is $1M in tuition over two years. Yeah, we'll take it.

The effect of the ban is that any nationals of these countries already inside can't leave (even in a family emergency), and any long-term visitor who exited country for a vacation or a conference is potentially stranded. You can't possibly believe it'd be only 90 days without pressure. Also, I would refrain from travel if I resembled a Muslim or had a funny name in this climate. Also, it banned people like eg. Ukrainian war refugees.

Ironically, eg., Boston bombers were green card holders with light complexion, fluent English, and a name most would not identify as Muslim (Tsarnayev). They are white dudes originally from a region literally called "Caucasia" (joke due to John Oliver, but factually accurate).

 

Also, you guys missed the point the article is making. If Trump created this much chaos for no reason whatsoever, imagine what happens if something does happen (eg., to one of his Saudi properties). Big success and lasting legacy of bin Laden is not bringing down the Twin Towers (any idiot can demolish a building), it's all the damage to the country and the world resulted from "the War on Terror" (which Trump opposed, or rather so he claims, btw). The main point of terrorism is scaring the bigger power into stupid overreactions; your idol overreacts to Meryl Streep.

The irony in this statement is amusing being that it took al-Qaeda multiple attempts to accomplish this "idiotically easy" task.

 

McWeigh did the same all by himself. Difference is just a matter of degree. No, the great achievement of al Quaida was freaking out the whole Western world.
