"Yes we will see liberal and media meltdowns every time Trump says or does anything."

Yesterday on MSN's rolling list of highlighted news items, about seven of the ten or twelve were anti-Trump.

Trump's actions should not have come as a surprise to anyone who was paying even the slightest attention to the presidential campaign.

Indeed this is true and why most (namely Shumer) should shut up about this and wait to see the outcome of the reform of the vetting process.

With that said I still maintain it wasn't implemented well. And indeed Trump's own words prove this. He said he would "suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur."

Suspending immigration is vastly different than prohibiting all from entering including green card holders. A green card holder is not some "undocumented immigrant" or to put it more accurately an illegal immigrant. Such a person is here legally and thus has already been "vetted". Anyone who knows anyone else who has a green card knows how detailed and costly a process it is to get one.

The idea is right the implementation was screwed up. Not good, for a president and administration who must know every action will be scrutinized with vicious impunity. Now because of that screw up the entire policy looks bad.

What would have been so difficult about saying "All from these countries are banned with the exception of green card holders and those who aided our war efforts in the region"? It wouldn't have been hard at all and no critic would have had a leg to stand on at that point.

“We” who?
The airport rioters are the same lowlifes who riot on demand wherever and whenever the masters of the hard left choose to deploy them.”

This ^^^^^. I bet most of the protestors are paid by a George Soros organization. They probably get an email on where to go and what to say.

I really want to freak out about lifting the Russian import ban and removing “sporting purposes” from BATFE’s bailiwick.

We are all entitled to due process of law under the Eighth Amendment, all ~310 million of us.

This means extreme vetting to protect us from “Muslim” madmen and crazy chicks.

My mother’s mother came to this country from a Muslim domain. She was a refugee seeking safety. I should enjoy the same safety from crazies that she got to enjoy.

The USA is our refuge.

I went to the Dr. just last Friday. He diagnosed me with a chronic case of TrumpGrin and basically told me that there was nothing that could be done but set back and enjoy it.

And they’re not used to an elected official doing what they say.

“The reason is to give relevant agencies the breathing room to review their procedures and make sure that ‘adequate standards are established to prevent infiltration by foreign terrorists or criminals.’”

President Zero had eight years to do that.

If President Zero had done his job properly, Trump’s order would not have been needed.

I hope to find a pick of the same “protester” at two different events. Would be the best way to affirm the “astro-turf” and paid nature of these events.

The libs, illegals and Muslims in America will flip out!

Forget the hysterical mainstream media — America likes Trump’s agenda, including his immigration pivot
In its hysteria-driven coverage of President Trump’s immigration order, the mainstream media forgot to mention this: most of the country supports it.

A recent Quinnipiac poll indicated that 48 percent of the nation approves of “suspending immigration from terror prone regions, even if it means turning away refugees,” while 42 percent oppose such a measure.

In contrast, Americans did not agree with Obama’s decision to open the door to more Syrian refugees; at the end of 2015, a Quinnipiac poll revealed that 51 percent of the country stood against the move, while only 43 percent supported it.

There is the problem for Democrats — even as they rant and rave over Donald Trump’s assault on the progressive values of the elite establishment, consumer confidence has soared to 12-year highs.

I must say I'm impressed with the effectiveness of the media's brainwashing/psy-ops on their victims. Everyday and sometimes several times a day, the consumers of mass media have an emotional outburst to the latest Trump "outrage."

I'm waiting and hoping to watch them rundown like windup toys as their amygdalas burn out.

Excellent advice and summary for all of us!

Yes, and it seems that some of “us” here seem anxious to freak out whenever there is a ripple in the waters, hearking back to the “Oh no Trump is finished now for sure!” mentality.

Just settle down, relax, and let the man do his job his way. That approach has worked out pretty darn well so far.

And believe it or not, the President and his staff actually do have more information than posters on internet discussion boards.

As long as the Bobbsey Twins, McCain & Graham and their ilk, demand Trump play by the old do-nothing-rules and keep whining, I believe that will only serve to strengthen POTUS Trumps resolve to get things done.

Directors of airports, hospitals, schools, all incoming and out going ports of call, should have had all ready in place rules to maintain mobocracy and other outside elements that take hold of the rules to exploit their agendas.....no one should be in airports etc. other than passengers going and coming. Marxist/progressive protesters will face jail time for trespassing.
