I mean could anyone tell me why non citizens wouldn't vote?

Do you ever stop and think about how that plays out? To live here illegally and show up to a polling place and risk being detained when you don't check out? Or if you're using a stolen identity the person you're impersonating already voted according to the rolls? Or have the same situation occur on a mail in situation?

Why risk it?

Illegals don't vote because it draws unwanted attention from the authorities.

The pipelines EO was last page. Besides, his comments are part of what he does. His words aren't legally binding but he's the president now so people are listening intently, especially his detractors.

Fair enough, but I still had to chuckle at that last sentence. Him being the president hasn't changed a thing, this has been going on for a long time.

Trump with another whopper, reintroducing his baseless claims on the success of waterboarding. Good thing Congress banned it.

How upset are libs gonna be if massive voter fraud turns out to be 100% legitimate and they never win another presidential election again because of it?

Define "massive". The only place it would happen would be sanctuary cities, especially in CA. They would be safe from detection there but those places are so super liberal that it wouldn't impact the outcome. The worst it would of done is pad Hillarys numbers in places she already won.

Trump is doing an "investigation" because immigration was one of the issues he got his support from. He knows it's bunk but gotta be seen following through.

I mean, sure, there's Wisconsin for the cheese, but only in California do they make the best whine.

Au contraire!

That's a false perception. What's actually happening is that they hold their noses so high that they can't tell who's sneaking in.

Measures still being finalized and subject to change include:
A four-month freeze on admission of all refugees

Grant exceptions to Christians and other minorities fleeing Muslim persecution

Halt visas to people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen because the Muslim-majority countries are 'terror prone'

The visa bans would last at least 30 days while vetting processes are reviewed

Stop protecting illegal immigrants who arrived in the US as children from deportation

Someone should tell Trump that he doesn't have to fulfill all of his campaign promises in the first week. Standard procedure is to say you're working on it until year 8 and then blame Those Other Guys™ for preventing you from doing it.

He's new at the politician gig.

Give him a few more years, he will get it.

“Demoralized” is how one government source described the feeling shared by 15,000 EPA coworkers after President Donald Trump today banned them from using Twitter.

The sudden prohibition was part of a larger media blackout and a freeze on any new contracts or grants. “There are news outlets that cover EPA,” the source said, predicting defiance to the gag order. “They are getting their fill of leaks.”

The order effectively defenestrates the EPA’s public affairs office. Effective immediately they’re being instructed to forward all media inquiries to the Office of Administration and Resources Management for review, according to the Associated Press. The Twitter ban came on the same day that Trump issued an executive order to allow the controversial Keystone pipeline to move forward.

“The actions over the last two days have shown a real misunderstanding of the actual work of the agency, incompetence, and a disconnect between the Trump team on the ground now and the incoming Pruitt team,” said the employee who requested anonymity out of fear of reprisal. “EPA staff who have dedicated their lives to protecting human health, clean air, and water are feeling demoralized.”

The Trump team’s communication to the agency bypassed the EPA’s top brass and sends a not too subtle message to the agency’s leadership. “The freeze on funding was not conveyed directly to staff. Most learned from press reports. The communications embargo was communicated poorly. Some got the full rundown. Some did not,” the employee said.

Trump’s ban on Twitter usage is ill-conceived. The EPA’s Twitter handle is used mainly to promote the good work underway and to issue public safety information. “The idea of bad stuff being tweeted from EPA was not likely,” the source said.

Twitter has a lot of very important uses. For example, you can accurately track the number of idiots on the internet by looking at Kim Kardashian's number of followers.

Just reading the front page of the political section of MSN is pretty damn funny

Never in my life have I seen so many "fact checks" on one page.

Is this the "alternative facts" we all have been hearing about?
