   The intended goal of my comment was not partisan – I believe that Steve Bannon's reckless disregard for objective fact represents a threat to the United States, independent of any party allegiance.

   And it is unacceptable. The US presidency and US intelligence community cannot be wielded as a blunt political instrument.

   When someone casts peaceful protests against immigration policy at airports as "terror tied", I classify that as conspiratorial thinking [1]. I have no doubt a conspiracy is at work here, but IMO it is not of the type that Bannon

   I'm unclear on his exact relationship with "Breitbart News", but I relied on this for the "founder" statement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bannon#Breitbart_News .

   Donald Trump is being powered by conspiracy theorist Steve Bannon, the "Breitbart News" head and board member of Cambridge Analytica, an analytics firm that used psychological profiling to cynically exploit the American electorate

    Doing this on an individual basis with reasonable cause is far different than an indiscriminate ban.

    It is arbitrary. He is engaging in collective punishment – holding those hostage who are lawful residents, including those who have already been thoroughly vetted over multiple years. This will result in loss of life, loss of income, and in

    Which immigration issues specifically? The net migration to Mexico is an outflow, and the US continues to have one of the longest and most extensive refugee/asylum vetting processes in the world. What specifically should change?

    False equivalence. Obama did not ban a country or religion wholesale. This is a substantial and disturbing step in the reckless anti-fact, anti-science, anti-truth administration of Donald John Trump.

    Voter turnout was a record low 55%, and Trump lost the popular vote by between three and five million votes, a fact he still refuses to recognize. Trump is not supported by a majority of the US population, and his constant and willful disre

    From another comment thread: "Refugees are referred to the US by the UNHCR.". You're also comparing the percentage to the total population of the country, rather than those who applied for asylum/refugee status. This is

    Heard from who? This is a major, major problem with political discourse in America right now. We are acting reflexively. We are engaging in collective punishment. We are making unproven assumptions.

    I don't think the United States is in a supply-limited triage situation right now, though. What's effectively been done is to cut off all non-Christians in certain countries – by issuing a blanket prohibition based upon a highly-r

    Glad to see a mention of Cambridge Analytica here. More interesting angles re: tested dark post campaigns: KONY 2012, Jade Helm, and the Columbia Chemical "leak". For KONY 2012, there are allegations that OpenOrd was used to maxim
