I don't think one was created by the Obama administration. They just flagged the seven nations as "high risk" or something along those lines. Everything else is thanks to the Trump administration. And again, Obama's "ban" wasn't even a ban (unless you can show me otherwise).

Read what I quoted. It's not the same thing.

This comparison to Obama is ridiculous http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/01/30/sorry-mr-president-the-obama-administration-did-nothing-similar-to-your-immigration-ban/

Thank you for a well thought out reply after I called you a prick You're more knowledgeable of the ins and outs of ISIS in these countries. But I'm still convinced this was done in an effort to start the war on Islam. Rudy Giuliani himself said Trump wanted a way to legally ban MUSLIMS (not people from countries that could pose a danger) but he wanted to legally ban MUSLIMS. When he was advised that this is religious bigotry, they shifted to "danger".

I'm not thick. Maybe try not being a prick next time. I misunderstood it because it was written poorly. I've read that short paragraph multiple times and I still can't fully figure out what the hell it is you're trying to say. And I still can't figure out your reasoning. If he's able to ban these seven countries, why isn't he just putting a blanket ban on all the countries in the Middle East? Why has he conveniently left out the countries that he is doing business with?

You say both Saudi Arabia and Sudan have problems with terrorism, but you have no problem with the executive order leaving Saudi Arabia out? What?

Me personally, I couldn't give a damn. I don't do anything that would be of interest to them, and as long as I don't see someone standing outside my window watching me, I'm fine with it. I understand how others wouldn't want that though. But, like I said earlier, I think the government is monitoring us far more than we're lead to believe anyway. Mosques were monitored after 9/11 and that was found to be constitutional and only ended when a new police chief took over. I don't believe the muslims who were being monitored were even aware of it until an AP article outed the monitoring. You don't have to set up intrusive things like CCTV to monitor people. We're far more technologically advanced than that. I know that, while I don't have a problem with it personally, I don't agree with it. It may be the Muslims this time around, but what if it were something that I were considered a part of? What if years down the road, Christians are the target of this kind of "crackdown"? US law always looks to the past for precedent and this could set a startling precedent.

American citizens have to have American sounding names? I don't know how you can convince me the government isn't already monitoring anyone they can possibly monitor. Maybe it's just me being paranoid (though since I don't really care, I don't know if you'd call it paranoia) but I'm pretty firmly planted in the camp that the government, in its numerous agencies, are monitoring more of the US population than we're aware of. If they want to monitor me constantly checking out the same 5 sites, let them

It's a fictional TV show man.

Obama's ban was on just refugees, not all of the citizens of the countries. That's a big difference to me.

Iran is banning US citizens in response to the executive order. Ive seen posts from people saying they or a family member are overseas and are afraid they won't be let back in the states because they either hold citizenship in one of the banned countries or a family member visited family overseas and may not get back in. Seriously, how is this possible? The countries named on the list have not had a US terrorist come from those countries. Of course, countries in which DT have business relationships with aren't included. @Sir Mikel OBE I remember you posting about a family member earlier in this thread. Have they worked out a plan in case they are targeted? I was hoping Trump's schtick would change once he was elected; but it looks like the power has solidified it all.

I would say the German fans are better than Italian fans. The Italian stadiums haven't really been updated in years and (if I remember a comment correctly) the fans have been priced out of going (while having a pretty crappy experience paying that price). Germany, on the other hand, keeps their prices waaaay down, actually have a rule where supporters must have the majority stake in ownership, and try to promote a family-friendly AND loud atmosphere. The rest of the European leagues should take their cues from the Bundesliga when it comes to keeping supporters as a core part of the club's culture.

I'm pretty conflicted. If it weren't for the increase in popularity around the world, I wouldn't know anything of Chelsea aside from I went to school with a girl named Chelsea. It's also meant that we get to watch better players every weekend. But at the same time, one of the things that drew me to football is the atmosphere and feeling closer to the club than you do with American sports.

I think Liverpool fan TV would be just as funny as ArsenalFanTV if you could actually understand anything they're saying

I'd personally like to stay on the safe side of design and have a boring, traditional looking shirt over a new-styled shirt with print on it. I think last season's shirt was the best one we've had. I would buy that in a heartbeat. It may be the same template the other major Nike clubs are given, but I think it looks absolutely class.

TBH, I'd take lazy over what some of Adidas' non-boring kits in recent years.

The Secret Service is investigating an agent who said she wouldn't protect Trump from an assassination attempt. Trump is keeps threatening sanctuary cities. Reportedly, he's going to repeatedly post crimes that illegal immigrants commit in order to (I don't know) shame? Gain support? Pretty soon he'll want to round them all up and send them to "deportation camps" He also thinks he knows how to stop the violence in Chicago's South Side. He's probably building up his own form of the SS behind the scenes.

Yeah, their sponsors really kill their kits. For how much hate Yokohama gets, I still think it's one of the better looking sponsors out there.

Well nevermind then Unless Trump becomes a Tyrant (in which he won't need executive orders)
