I wouldn't be surprised.

At least until there's a terror attack in the States and the perpetrator(s) are found to have come from countries not under the Muslim Ban or have family that came from countries not under the ban.

More like though Trump would just start adding countries to the list.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Some Republicans are saying that unless Trump provides evidence of Obama wiretapping him, he should retract his claim I don't expect him to listen.
In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now.

If the road is easy, the destination is worthless.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

I highly doubt my soul mate is living in Thailand and only a click away.

Neither do I. He's gone to far down the rabbit hole for that.

Normally, you would think retracting such a claim would only make him look foolish, but what with Trump and his twitter outbursts I really doubt the public opinion would change at all. And I would doubt that even if he did retract his claim it would stop certain people from sticking to it as gospel truth. He gains nothing from retracting his claims and so has no incentive to do so. SADly that is the state of politics today.

And let us not forget, this is a temporary travel ban, so that the administration can figure out what the hell is going on. What does that even mean? What are they gonna do when the ban expires? One suspects that not even Trump knows.

of course he doesn't know. he isn't going to do anything different than what we do now. there is no "extreme vetting" that can predict who might be radicalized a decade from now.

if they might be bad guys now, they don't get in. what might happen in the future turns out to be so rare that it is impossible to predict.

With repeated threats of "see you in [The Supreme] Court!"

Nitpick: The proper plural of "attorney general" is "attorneys general." They aren't military.

Without ever actually taking it that far. It's all just a giant game of Bluff.

An Iowa congressmen tweeted that we can't restore American civilization and culture with foreign (specifically Muslim) babies mixing with ours. I'm somewhat worried what he meant by "restore"

State residency isn't clearly defined. He would be a fool for paying California's extortionate rates. I don't see anything illegal here. I read the Washington Post article on it. For tax reasons, IL residents become WI residents all the time. Seems to be the same sort of thing here.

It's cheap, but it's not illegal. You couldn't lock up Bannon for that.

I forgot we live in a world where tax evasion is considered to be genius.

Also TIL taxation is extortion.

Extortionate rates is different from extortion. TIL one can misconstrue anything if they try hard enough.

Why would you pay more tax than you have to? Its not evasion, he has done nothing illegal, merely taken advantage of the system. Is that a crime?
