Yes when they started making it it started as a ban on Muslims but the end result isn't a ban on loving Muslims. That article takes you through the history of the whole thing. Did you even read the article?

i mean if you're strictly arguing on the explicit, black and white contents of the ban saying it's as simple as that, then i can bring up the obvious examples of historical discriminatory laws that were just clever workarounds to legally create de jure discrimination (literacy tests+grandfather clause, poll tax, etc.)

The backlash to the blanket immigration ban was absolutely massive, and Donald Annoying Orange has managed to accumulate majority disapproval from American citizens in the fastest amount of time - ever.
The thing that worries me is that he's essentially ousting the joint chiefs of staff and putting members of his own private circle in those positions of power, which shouldn't really happen in a government with checks and balances...

yeah i meant to communicate through the title that it was only beginning to show the warning signs of unchallenged power in the future, but i can't really fit all of that in there.

i took it to mean that giuliani had to convince Annoying Orange to not make it about religion, in which case would imply he still wanted to ban muslims.

Doesn't matter what he wanted, he didn't get what he wanted and the end result is that we don't have a ban on Muslims.
For forgets sake I want a ban on Muslims Kimon. Calling this a ban on Muslims is a disgrace.
