Whoa DHS says WH denied them input on ban, now scrambling to implement "Nobody has any idea what is going on," source tells @KenDilanianNBC

1. President Trump, that's what is going on.

[Farmgirl1961]

10. You mean Dicktator Trump...

[elehhhhna]

17. Trump doesn't have a clue either. Only Pence, Bannon & Putin are in the loop. . . . nt

[KittyWampus]

22. Um, no. President Bannon. The Bannon wing is winning.

[GP6971]

2. I don't think

this is a surprise to anyone. Trump is laying the groundwork for his dictatorship.

[WheelWalker]

3. Now I know what the ride to the ground feels like after falling off a cliff.

[Squinch]

4. Until the one who ordered it gives some input into how it should be implemented,

they should ignore it.

It is only reasonable to expect that when an executive order is issued, it will be followed by instructions. They should await instructions.

[dalton99a]

5. Of course Bannon kept the wording a secret.

[tenorly]

16. He just never specified of which country.

North Korea, I suppose.

[csziggy]

27. He never indicated in which direction the transparency exceeded

ABSOLUTELY NO transparency exceeds moderate transparency but not in a good direction.

[SticksnStones]

30. Smart. And spot on.

[Docreed2003]

6. Bannon wants nothing more than to demolish the entire system...

He's said as much and says he identifies as a "Leninist". He is the power behind this EO, not Trump. His influence will continue to reap chaos and destruction as long as he's within the inner circle.

[highplainsdem]

11. True.

[Solly Mack]

21. True

[HopeAgain]

7. Time to double down on calling out the Republicans what they are ...RACISTS

Fuck the "economic nationalist" bullshit, they are bigoted pigs.

[malaise]

8. The 'One Don' strikes again

Lock him up!

Remember ReTHUGs are part of this coup

[TubbersUK]

9. One impact of Dual nationality ruling

Theresa May's own MPs affected

Link to tweet

Issue applies to many elected representatives & government ministers around the world.

[Blue_true]

12. That impacted MP is a Tory? If so, didn't he

Help slit his own wrist?

[TubbersUK]

13. He was pro-Brexit

which is possibly more pertinent to his problem.

In that (a) there are links between Brexit and Trump and (b) May is constrained by the need for a quick trade deal with Trump.

[Eyeball_Kid]

20. Thought so. She ran to the US before Trumpy sits on Putin's lap. My guess

is that she cheerfully read Trumpy the riot act. But Trumpy, to her chagrin, may not want to listen to a rational argument when he's got Putin and his blackmail to "negotiate." Oh, I'm the best negotiator! I can make deals! I make the best deals!

Where are the esteemed Fanboys? What's happened to them?

[Eyeball_Kid]

19. Hey! I got a bucket of fascism! You want some?

[Achilleaze]

14. Republicans could f*ck up just about anything they touch

On top of everything else, Republicans are incompetent losers. It's really showing now.

[LudwigPastorius]

15. "Input"?

The DHS needs to get used to the way tyranny works.

It's like this: the despot issues orders, and you implement them...or else.

[Eyeball_Kid]

18. Hmm...something... oh, no!.... I smell a Bannon!

[uponit7771]

23. Sounds like ManFart type thinking

[Rex]

24. Nobody has any idea what is going on? Wonderful.

Do any of those fucking idiots know that Bannon wants to destroy the federal government? That he has a goal and it to sow discord among us all? This is NOT new! He talks about it all the fucking time!

What the hell do they DO for a living?

[riversedge]

25. I so hate being lied to by the WH.

[Rex]

26. I hope the intelligence agencies take this guy to town.

I've never rooted for the CIA before, it feels strange. However, whatever it takes to make sure Dump doesn't blow up the fucking planet.

[Dawson Leery]

28. This is how dictators act.
