Did Drumpf and Company not Anticipate This Muslim EO Blowback?

I was thinking since they had the Mexican trade/wall chaos last week that they would throw this Muslim ban red meat to their base for some quick "See we are protecting 'Murca." For some reason I can't imagine they thought this blowback would be harsh, fierce, and forceful.

Rinse Penis and Sec Kelly both rolled back the green card part of this. Even Graham and McCain along with some other Pubes came out against them. Letters from Christians/Catholic organizations, the Pope, other world leaders, etc. Trump want to be liked by other leaders. Now they are condemning him.

More people know about that than the fact that Bannon was installed on the National Security Council at the expense of Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

(You had to really WATCH the news to catch That tidbit. . .)

I don't think any of his inner circle has had the guts to tell him.

Either that or he thinks he's allowed to overrule the courts.

He has outlined it and is implementing it and it's playing out exactly as intended.

to think they could pull this off....this is a nation of immigrants...I am only a third generation American...I cannot imagine being pulled put of a plane....or detained at an airport. I hope if any of the nincompoops on the orange ones train travel abroad, they get the same treatment in a foreign country.

It causes little inconvenience to them because the House at least is in their back pockets for the next two years, and throws up a shitstorm to hide the real groundwork they are laying to dispose of that inconvenient Constitution and set up their own little Nationalist oligarchy in its place.

That's the end game. Last time, General Smedly Butler stood up to the American Firsters who wanted to make money off American peasants and natural resources.

This time - the internet and instant personalized media compounds the effects. Will we be able to save ourselves from ourselves this time?
