Trump is expected to sign executive orders starting on Wednesday that include a temporary ban on most refugees and a suspension of visas for citizens of Syria and six other Middle Eastern and African countries, say congressional aides and immigration experts briefed on the matter.

Trump, who tweeted that a "big day" was planned on national security on Wednesday, is expected to ban for several months the entry of refugees into the United States, except for religious minorities escaping persecution, until more aggressive vetting is in place.

Another order will block visas being issued to anyone from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified.

Just a reminder that 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were saudis with the remaining four hailing from the UAE (2), Egypt, and Lebanon. I wonder why none of those countries are banned.

Mr. Trump can go for days without breathing in fresh outside air.

That may explain a lot.

Mr. Trump has the television — and his old, unsecured Android phone, to the protests of some of his aides — to keep him company.

Are you fucking kidding me?!?!

The kitchen has been stocked with the same type of snacks that Mr. Trump had on his private plane, including Lay’s potato chips and Doritos.

Mexican food!

Is there a specific twitter handle that I should follow?

Taxpayers will be reimbursed at a later date on the wall which will start construction in a few months.

Yet people still worship this dude.

Wait until they start charging the prisoners for the techniques.

FWIW, President Obama signed 35 executive orders, on average, during his eight years in the WH; Trump has signed 10 in just over four days (maybe not including what he has done today). But Obama was the tyrant, right?

I'm confident AG Sessions will put the kibosh on that

First question today @ the Presser.... Washington Times. Its a total rag that has about 8 pages of printed word information in something that never seems to be more then total 25 pages. On Spicer's side, it dogmatically leans hard right. It is a POS regardless of its leanings, like something someone throws on your lawn that you do not want, and must recycle.

So, again, no AP lead per tradition, and like 'day one, it went to a third rate news outlet.

WaPo is the good one right??

Obama also issued a lot of memoranda, which are essentially the same thing.

EOs and Memos are less about quantity and more about content. You can't judge "overreach" simple by pointing out the number or rate.
