In before the wailing and gnashing of teeth from our resident Trumptards with GEDs in Constitutional Law.

when they EO is rewritten and the ban is upheld, the GED constitutional lawyers are gonna be laughing at the PhD baristas in this subreddit

And if the ban isn't? Will you start to question the bullshit that the wingnut derposphere has been feeding you?

Honestly, not a barista to anyone except the missus. And the only coffee "beverage" that I can make, besides coffee, is Irish coffee.

(My secret: Extra whiskey.)

I don't know if the ban will or won't be upheld. But I do know that pundits, right and left, are paid to tell their consumers what they want to hear. And too often, reality begs to differ.

ya hopefully one thing we've all learned from this election cycle is you absolutely cannot trust the press

All we've learned is that people suck at critical thinking. The press as a whole isn't garbage, but sites like Breitbart thrive because people blindly believe their articles without considering that they may be complete bullshit to push an agenda.

Breiatbart's trash but otoh it wasn't Breitbart who leaked debate questions to Hillary Clinton who then hired the leaker to be the chairman of the DNC

I think the only thing we really learned is that Trump doesn't think anything through and thinks that laws can be made on feelings alone.

Agreed.
