I've skimmed the recent executive orders and haven't found the relevant portion. It could be that it's "hidden" in the USC references. They're certainly written by lawyers though. I've been impressed with most of what I've read so far.

That's because he's literally copying from Mitt Romney's documents.

LOL, multiple federal judges issued orders to temporarily halt the detentions to avoid the immediate human tragedy, without which, among other calamities, thousands of Iranian PhD candidates would have been deported or have their visas suspended. You are quite easily impressed by the apparent performance of Trump's lawyers.

If you don't think this is a massive flap, you are living in a ****ing bubble. My neighbour just donated $10,000 to the ACLU. And this is just in the first week, for Christ's sake.

The tepid response to this moral outrage from congressional Republicans is stunning, but frankly I've given up trying to suppress my suspicion that the Republican party probably selects for lack of empathy (I know you guys are suffering out there in West Virginia, but really, two wrongs don't make a "don't care").

We already have the signatures of six Fields Medalists and 37 Nobel Laureates, as well as over 7000 other American academics denouncing the executive order.

In other news, Trump has demoted the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Director of National Intelligence from the National Security Council, to make way for J̶o̶s̶e̶p̶h̶ ̶G̶o̶e̶b̶b̶e̶l̶s̶ former executive chair of alt-Right propaganda house Breitbart Steve Bannon.

When does the war with Iran start?

There’s nothing short of Trump shooting my daughter in the street and my grandchildren — there is nothing and nobody that’s going to dissuade me from voting for Trump

I had to take a little break from the computer and go visit my neighbors after reading that article about radiation poisoning... Also, speaking of human error on top of everything: Why was the same person who's patient was screaming for help and banging on the door working a month later frying another person's brain?

At any rate, the administration is burning its bridges at an astonishing rate, having already unified the media, the CIA, virtually all of academia (plus everybody who has ever been in a PhD program), and now many Jews as well, against him.

I guess that leaves the conservative base, douchebags on /r/The_Donald, old people, and any other of the (unfathomably large, in my mind) 42% of people who approve of him according to Gallop.

Which, of course, I am sure includes "Ms. Butler":

And this is coming from somebody who has said publicly and on multiple occasions that it is good to be unpredictable with respect to nuclear weapons.

And then there's ISIS. I have a simple message for them. Their days are numbered. I won't tell them where and I won't tell them how. We must...
(APPLAUSE)
... we must as a nation be more unpredictable. We are totally predictable. We tell everything. We're sending troops. We tell them. We're sending something else. We have a news conference. We have to be unpredictable. And we have to be unpredictable starting now.
But they're going to be gone. ISIS will be gone if I'm elected president. And they'll be gone quickly. They will be gone very, very quickly.

We’ve been fighting these wars for longer than any wars we’ve ever fought. We have not used the real abilities that we have. We’ve been restrained. We have to get rid of ISIS. Have to get rid of ISIS. We have no choice.

He wouldn't be the first person from that clique to call himself a socialist.

“I’m a Leninist. Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.”

He clearly wants us all to think he will use them against ISIS. It could be bluster. But after the muslim ban, I can say I wouldn't find it surprising (though, of course, to say it would be frightening would be an understatement) if he used them.

Oh, you meant that clique that described themselves as socialist.

Use of nuclear weapons is several orders of magnitude larger a deal than a temporary immigration ban on a few countries.

I guess my tolerance for this experiment (the Trump administration) is based on the fact that we survived the last experiment (the Obama administration) and a general indifference to American politics at this point. I'll perk back up when the Convention of States convenes.

Serious question: Which parts of the Obama administration did you think were uniquely unconventional things that no past president would have considered doing?

Oh probably nothing but he made remarkable progress on so many things that I feel run counter to American principles and security. Obama himself is pretty exotic compared to the average American with his multicultural and communist upbringing. He's relatively unaccomplished with probably the height of his career being a senior lecturer teaching three classes a year before becoming a senator and that was basically product placement and timing. He's been surrounded and mentored by leftists all of his life so unsurprisingly he surrounded himself with and appointed leftists while in office.

Are there parts of the Trump administration that you think are uniquely unconventional things that no other president would have considered? Serious, not sarcastic.

For real for serious? He's pushing back against the commercial media in a way that past presidents would have never considered (for good reason, apparently). That's about it so far. Other than being abnormally obnoxious and exhausting to deal with, that is.

For all of his failings, Trump seems to be the first politician who does exactly what he promised during his campaign.

I genuinly never thought he'd do that.

I can't defend or argue for Trump because I really don't know [...] what reasons he has for anything he does do.

I can actually read the executive orders and avoid the media circus. For your own mental well being, you should probably do something similar.
