Lesson for DJT : The State Will Let You Down

EOs don't come with a magic wand. Unless you are talking about a magic wand for chaos, injury, and waste.

Will he learn this lesson?

Does he care? Is he aware?

Discuss.

Executive Order Separates Badly Burned Iraqi Boy From Family

After preliminary surgery, his dad returned to their war-ravaged country to be with his wife as she gave birth to Dilbreen’s little brother. It was November 8th an hour before Donald Trump won the election. They named the baby ‘Trump.’

Dilbreen was set for a second surgery this month. His family was set to stay at the Peace House in Ipswich. Then they got the news their visas were suddenly revoked.

“So they are stranded in Iraq,” Schuchardt said. “The child is here. The need for surgery is pressing.”

5-Year-Old Iranian-American Boy Handcuffed, Held at Dulles Airport for Hours

This happened at Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C. The poor kid was separated from his own mom because he was "identified as a possible threat." That's insane enough in itself (what's he going to do, blow up his Captain America figurine?), but what makes this even worse is that he is an American citizen. Note: not a tourist with a visa and not even a green-card holder, but a citizen; someone who enjoys the same rights as every other American citizen, but who just so happens to be of Iranian descent.

FP:The Cable - SitRep: January 30, 2017

Defense officials working at the Pentagon and U.S. Central Command told SitRep on Sunday they were studying the executive order, and were unsure about how to handle several imminent issues. Chief among them are servicemembers born in the targeted countries.

There was no guidance handed down on how to move forward for those servicemembers, and one defense official emailed that the Pentagon “recruits about 5,000 Legal Permanent Residents per year,” and “the average number of non-citizens serving on active duty from 2010-2015 was about 18,700.” There was no breakdown for specific countries available. Another official at Centcom — which directs U.S. military policy in the Middle East — is working through what the order means for the Iraqi pilots and officers who are in the U.S. for training, and how to bring in other Iraqi officials for meetings and training sessions.

Pathos.

The state is violence. Violence is its only stock in trade. It should be handled with care like a nuclear reactor is handled with care to get what good we can get from it without burning us all up.

There's your Pathos.

Pathos is presenting some sad stories in an attempt to sway a rational decision. It's effective. I use it from time-to-time myself against marxists because that's pretty much the only thing that sways them since they are not generally rational people. But remember your audience. As sad as these stories are, they don't negate the necessity of this policy. In fact, I think the policy doesn't go nearly as far enough.

I have no issue with the content of the EO, but the execution is needlessly sloppy, and possibly grossly incompetent.

Preparing for someone to explain that Trump is playing 3-D chess, the sloppy roll out intentional to distract from X.

I agree with that much.

He's playing 6d water polo by rolling out executive orders and getting the cucks to expose themselves before the serious work begins on how to set up the deep state to MAGA well after 2024.

[Speaker to Animals]

It does seem like he is firing birdshot into the bushes to flush out the cuckolds. Doesn't he know those are an endangered species now? There ought to be a law.

Drumpf is crazy. He will never win like that!
