We’re too busy “protecting freedom” around the world to do it here.

I had a crazy dream over 10 years ago that W was going to be the last ‘real’ president America would ever have. I’m starting to think now that maybe it wasn’t such a crazy dream after all...

(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section apply except to the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the effective date of this order.

Yep, they're exempt...

"WWIII starts when Hildebeast is inaugurated."

Possibly the last election that will ever be held in this country.
