    Oh yeah. I do remember that from the 2015 campaign. It was a very effective "talking point" at the time when we saw six Terrorist Attacks on U.S. soil, plus a few additional Terrorist plots which were thwarted by FBI during the last year of the Obama Administration.

    Fortunately, after the landslide election, the "talking point" became a more nuanced and detailed restriction on only Muslim countries from where terrorists were coming, those which were deemed a high threat to American safety by our National Security Department

    It was a nice, peaceful four years with no ISIS terrorists killing us here at home.

    Didn't Joe lift the ban on Muslim countries which pose a threat to us on Day One? Pretty sure he did.

    Everything that American citizens were worried about in 2015, went away and by 2020 became concerns over a severe influenza pandemic and Mean Tweets. LOL Politics is fun!

    yes, compared to the Bush years when the twin towers were attacked, it was refreshing - sadly now domestic terrorism seems to be the bigger threat

    if 2016 was a landslide election then the 2020 election was as well, and Biden also won the popular vote, something Trump failed to do

    Bull sh!t.
    Show me a document issued by Trump administration where it states that the ban is based on a race or a religion. Until then, talking points is all you got.

    So you admit that Trump did say he wanted to impose a ban on Muslims, and not the MSM, leftists or whichever boogiemen Trump supporters claim?

    I thought Trump decimated and destroyed ISIS? Soooooooo, what's the issue here with Biden lifting a ban on Muslim Countries now that Trump, all by his lonesome destroyed and wiped ISIS off the face of the Earth, according to him?

    Severe influenza? LOL, ok. Trump seemed awfully proud to pat himself on the back for being the main reason why a vaccine was created in record time for just a sever influenza.

    Of course politics is fun, that's why I joined this site!

    What was said before and after that? As again it was not a Muslim ban as it was not even close to banning from every Muslim nor any Muslim majority country.

    Do you also deny Trump himself, proved by the video I posted, called it a Muslim Ban?

    So if calling the china virus the china virus is racist, then why is it OK to call the So African mutation the "British Variant."

    What that horses mouth said doesn’t matter. What matters is the order that is being executed by the employees of the US department of state.
    Did that order instruct the employees to take into account applicant’s religion or race when denying visa?

    Wait, are you claiming words have no meanings? You and other Trump supporters claimed that Trump never said he wanted to ban Muslims. I provide a video that clearly shows that talking point to be complete horseshit, and your only argument is his words don't matter?

    LMAO, my God! I can't breathe from laughing so damn hard!

    I was always quietly curious - if assigning the geographic origin to the mutation of the virus name, why not give them numbers, like software version? So, the original WuFlu would be 1.0. SA version is 1.1. And so on.
    Covering one geographic identifier with another under the disguise of being “anti-racist” is just dumb.

    Comprehension problems, huh?
    A president can say anything he or she wants. But if that president wants something executed then he or she must issue an order, right? That order is a document outlining when, where, and what.
    I asked for a backup of a claim that Trump banned Muslims from entering the US. Where is the copy of that order that specifically says that Muslims are banned from entering this country.

    You asked for all that horseshit only AFTER I proved you and other Trump supporters to be completely wrong when you stated that Trump never said he wanted to ban Muslims from entering our Country.

    Your moving the goalposts is irrelevant.

    Original post that I quoted:
    Here is my quote:
    So, when and where did Trump ban some members of a race or a religion from entering the US?
    The left twisted and taken things out of context so many of Trump’s statements that you lost track of what was true and what was a lie, a talking point, or a fake outrage.

    Did Trump's ban on those places in the middle east prevent Muslim's from entering the Country? A simple yes or no will do.

    Did my video also show Trump saying that he would ban Muslims? Again, another simple yes or no will suffice.

    No.
    Muslims from any country that is not on the ban list could enter. Members of other religions could not apply from the country on the restrictions list, therefore the ban didn’t apply to just Muslims.

    Irrelevant. Government departments don’t operate on presidential campaign rhetoric - they operate under official rules and regulations, which can change if president issues an order.
    So, where is that Muslim ban document? Have a copy for all of us to examine?

    The document has been destroyed now that Biden's new document took it's place.

    You're welcome.

    Do you even realize how absurd your rhetoric is?
    If a visa ban on a Muslim-majority country is a ban on Muslims, then the EU ban on travel from the US would be interpreted as EU banning Christians from entering countries in the EU.
    The US also bans travel from North Korea. Most of the people there are atheists. Does it mean the US implemented an atheist ban?

    Yep. And I have a bridge to sell.

    Thanks for nothing, I guess.

    I am fine with the travel ban. Trump was an idiot for letting people come in from China to begin with as long as some TSA agent with a CVS thermometer said they weren't over 101°F
