Seems like we now have the worst of both worlds now. A ruthless drone program, botched operations, and unnecessarily misguided bans.

- oh_sigh 10y agoSure, but the question remains why bombing and killing thousands is not protest worthy, but preventing people from a few countries from temporarily entering the US is protest worthy. Call me cynical, but I bet if Obama issued Trumps EO, and Trump expanded the drone program, we would be having the exact same protests against Trump.
- nyxtom 10y agoI think part of it is the fact that Trump is an all around jerk that inherently garners more attention. Bush did plenty of egregious things that didn't get nearly the amount of attention they deserved either. That being said when the WH issued orders (even the Visa waiver issue) that were deemed unconstitutional, ACLU took it to court.
