I don't think he put much thought into his (iirc) tweet(?)

YOU DON'T SAY

But here is the thing: now he can't just take it back without losing face, and unfortunately an egomaniac like him is quite aware of that.

I do wonder what will be left of your country after 4 years of forced enactment of haphazard, destructive, 3AM sitting-on-the-shitter Twitter idiocies.

Quote from: Valmy on January 26, 2017, 11:45:25 AMWhat does that even mean? So if Columbus is a sanctuary city Ohio State would have all its research grants pulled?

appears that way from trump's language. who's to say whether he actually means that and didn't use overly broad language. I don't think he put much thought into his (iirc) tweet(?)

It's a 7 page executive order, not a tweet.  Someone put some thought into it.  Admittedly probably not Trump.  One guess would be Bannon, which makes it more worrisome not less.

Correct, depending on how the Trump administration defines sanctuary city and interprets the law.

I strongly suspect it won't go anywhere.  Way, way, way too much friendly fire.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

ah, well, either way as you said it depends on interpretation. if it's overly broad and encompasses too much, it'll be defeated in the courts

I am getting really pissed at all this shit.

He has not been in power for a week and the retardation and fascism shit is stronger than during the campaign, already.

With all the shit going down in the UK and over the world in general: what the fuck, people?!

Yeah, the pincer move of releasing the weekly lists while putting pressure on sanctuary cities is way too astute. "Your city is giving up money that could help good Americans in order to protect all those criminals".

I guess he wants to make his 'mark' in his first 100 days?

I'm not sure how well that will play in sanctuary cities. Are LA and SF citizens going to get confused? Probs not.

This sounds like the kind of good government I can support. :)

My last passport took two days. Go to the registry office section of the town hall, fill out form and attach previously taken biometric photo, sign & pay. Pick up passport two days later after getting a text message that it is done.

Cool. Not sure what that has to do with Meri noting difficulties in the US.
Shows that a poorer, less advanced country than America can do it. Comparison is a common technique in arguments.

That was just an example, I seriously doubt Columbus is actually a Sanctuary City :console:
