Trump "administration official" calls travel ban "a massive success story on every single level"



A senior administration official said the executive orders signed by Trump on Friday, which bars the admission of Syrian refugees and suspends travel to the United States from Syria, Iraq, Iran and four other countries on national security grounds, was being fully enforced by relevant agencies.

"Nothing has changed," said the official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity as rallies against the move erupted across the United States.

U.S. judges in at least five states blocked federal authorities from enforcing the order. Lawyers representing people covered by the order said, however, that some authorities were unwilling to follow the court rulings.

The administration official rejected criticism of the way Trump's plan had been implemented, saying: "So it really is a massive success story in terms of implementation on every single level."

The world these guys live in doesn't even tangentially intersect with our real world, does it?

One thing that gets my goat, is when President Obama made EO's that were the most tepid, non-confrontational, milk-toast nods towards gun control, or immigration, or anything progressive, the right got all up in arms about "Emperor Obama." Now? Trump EO's straight up imperial decrees, with immediate actions taken, immediately ruining lives, and the right is loving it.

I don't believe I could hate right wingers more. I just can't even imagine detesting them more than I already do. But I'm sure they'll give it a good effort to get me to!
