Who knew that the majority of people traveling here from stone-age islamic states were scientists? /s

Just breakin’ some eggs and makin’ some omelets.

Fake news and not even very creative or believable. Try again dipshits.

Unless there was some real national security reason to do this immediately, it would have been better to follow the process of proposed rules -> final rules via the Federal Register

Thanks for pointing out the TripAdviser nonsense. I posted a reply to the CEO:

You said: "Refugees who come to the United States are the most vulnerable. These are human beings – families, individuals, people just like you and me."

And some of those human beings could well be terrorists; is that like you and me? Since we cannot adequately vet most of these individuals, it would be professional malpractice on the part of ISIS and its ilk to not try to plant their people in this refugee stream. A 90-day pause is wise so we can figure this out. For TripAdvisor, it would be wise to stick to your business instead of wading into political positions that alienate half of your members.

Bovine excrement.

The Atlantic has about as much to do with real science as did Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch.

“I posted a reply to the CEO:”

Nice job.

I was threatened by anti Trump poster who said she would make sure no one does business with my company.

Liberals are the real fascists.

After the AGW scam, the rotting corpse of scientific credibility is beyond harm.

[tanuki]

Do they mean a ‘scientist’ like this prize?

Iran in the 1960's was far better ...

It’s my understanding that it was proposed and finalized ages ago but never enforced.

Is there a single true statement in this article?

[Rebel2016]

This is the biggest BS I have ever heard

[Wuli]

Science and scientific research in the largest since, in the U.S. and globally, will not suffer.

Some individuals from certain countries may be inconvenienced, but nothing in science here or abroad is missing others of equal stature and importance who will do the many same things, in parallel that the inconvenienced persons would be/would have been doing.

The student visitors of the 7 nations concerned do not make a “gap” in the world’s scientific endeavors.

“The shock wore off yesterday evening. Now there’s just extreme sadness, and a very strong feeling that I’ve been discriminated against,” she says.

She knows all the right buzzwords. We can expect sob story after sob story from the media.

[Mike Darancette]

The story is a rich stew of lies.

He’s another Capo for Communism! It would be a waste of typing. Just boycott his business.

[Gaffer]

Exactly. They try to make it seem like science cannot possibly do without these ‘scientists.’ Several of these examples are of ‘scientists and mathematicians’ who were in no way affected by this temporary ban.

[Right Wing Assault]

We need hundreds of more muzzlem scientists who study tuberculosis brought to us by illegal mexicans. /s

Yes. "Even before Trump, it was already pretty rough..."
