Please provide evidence for this claim. Plenty of articles to choose from: https://www.bing.com/search?q=Obama+scrapped+immigrant+vetting+system&form=PRUSEN&mkt=en-us&httpsmsn=1&refig=a953a169fac54c78950bbe1020d9b901&sp=-1&pq=obama+scrapped+imm&sc=0-18&qs=n&sk=&cvid=a953a169fac54c78950bbe1020d9b901 However, I will say that Obama did not use the system the last so and so years, for however long I do not know. But he did scrap it in the last weeks to prevent Trump from using it. The legislation referenced in those links was not a vetting system, it was a registration system for people who are in the US. And it was scrapped because it had already been replaced by a new registration system. If you actually read the articles in that search you will see that the contents do not support the your conclusion, and I hope you will therefore change your mind. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Ok, so 'Extreme Vetting' is the highest degree of careful and critical examinations. Now what, exactly, does 'the highest degree of careful and critical examinations' entail? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Detained, interrogated and released. The horror. And the people who have been detained, interrogated and not released? Any more thoughts on them? What about the confusion around the implementation of this order that was rushed through so hastily that no-one was even sure who was covered by it now, let alone what the long term consequences will be? Any thoughts about that? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You're new here, so you don't know which side of the fence I'm usually found on, so you get a pass on that.... but come on! Are you that bad at recognizing satire when you hear it? I was using direct quotes from Trump in response to a question about how Trump and his staff were going to spin things. Engage brain first, attack second, ok? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Because he criticised Trump, that's how I know. Trump is the greatest, he wins at everything. Bigly! So anyone who criticises such a great man (so great, just incredible, the best!) is obviously a loser. SAD! And any department relying on overrated losers must be in trouble. Failing! Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Blatantly unconstitutional. Presenting it and talking about it as they have done, as being religiously selective, it's almost like they want to pick a fight they can't win. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Of corrupt lobbyists? Ummm, nope. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Wait, so you do believe the shit you've been saying in this thread? Jeez dude, when you can't even decide whether you're trolling or not you've got some serious problems. BTW, I notice that even though you've given up supporting any aspect of your position you're still here responding because you're so desperate for approval you just cannot bear to give out any indication that you know you're wrong. No wonder you're defending Trump. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Two of his big three campaign promises were 'lock her up' and 'drain the swamp' and he's dropped those like hot potatoes. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

FFS, Trump's only been in office for a week. Did you expect him to have his perpetual conflict started already? Give him a month at least. Remember - we have always been allies with Russia, and we've always been at war with South America... Do you want to have an ideagasm?

If you're saying that Trump is such a crap President already that it's better for him to distract the media by looking like a juvenile idiot on this issue than have them spend more time reporting what he's actually doing then I fully agree with you.

No, that bit's actually pretty easy. The problem the republicans have is they promised to take it back, then give away even more for even less. Except they never bothered to figure out how they were going to manage it. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Just like Putin isn't going into Ukraine You really do not have to prove to me that you don't know what you're talking about. I know that already. Rush, you never answered my questions about the photos. Do yo think the CNN megapixel photo you posted shows that the Trump crowd had as many or more people than the Obama crowd? Do you think it shows no empty spaces on the mall? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You said it sucks, you said it's bad for the country, you said it has zero substance, you said it was an effort to de-lagitamize [sic] the presidency. I didn't say you cared about whether the story was right or wrong, I said you cared about the story. And clearly you do, otherwise (applying your own standard) why are you spending your time here moaning? But, yet again (let's see how many time's you'll ignore this and hope no-one notices you don't have an answer) you're angry at the wrong people. Trump is allowing this story to distract him from governing, he's wasting his staff's time and other government officials' time on it, and he's destroying the credibility of the White House press office by pursuing his version of it. But you thought that was the only reason I'd be posting here. So, applying your own standard, it must be the only reason you're still posting here. Especially since your argument is so weak Fixed it for truth. Well duh, that's the whole point of internet forums Are you confused about that too? You're not going to reply to my post, because you know your argument has no substance, is founded on hypocrisy and that you've run out of bluster to distract from that. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Just like Putin isn't going into Ukraine Do you want to have an ideagasm?

And you are defending a man who is taking his time and his staff's time away from real governance in order to perpetuate this story. Can't you see that? Fortunately for the country, the amount of time I spend discussing this topic has zero effect on it, good or bad. Unfortunately for the country, the amount of time Trump and his staff spend on it does have an effect. The extent to which Trump and his staff demonstrate that they are willing to brazenly lie to the American people does have an effect. Once again I ask, why are you criticizing the wrong people? Ummmm, ok. If you're saying those are the criteria for posting here now, let's apply the standard to you first. What are you gaining by wasting your time telling me I'm wrong? Again, it's relevant for two reasons. One, you're angry at the time being wasted on the story, so you should be angry at Trump. Two, you wrongly claimed that Trump didn't start or perpetuate the story, a direct response to that is justified. Unless you're desperate for me to tell you that you're right... but what would that gain you? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The purpose of the story was to respond to Trumps own statements. Weeks before the Inauguration Trump was wasting his time boasting to the media that there would be "an unbelievable, perhaps record-setting turnout". As you rightly say, he's trying to do a shitload of big, important things in a short space of time, supported by cabinet appointments with zero experience in their relevant fields and he was and is chronically distracting himself by trying to persuade everyone that reality isn't real. He doesn't need any prompting from the media to get bogged down in trying to prove that everything he's ever done is the best that anyone's ever done it. He can't help himself. So why aren't you angry at him? If you think that no-one is talking about the other crazy shit that Trump is doing, it really just goes to show that you aren't paying attention to what's going on outside this story. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Eh? How could it be otherwise? Once again, I am left questioning your understanding of the linear flow of time Everyone agrees that the initial story was of trivial importance (although it was warranted as a response to Trump's own insistence upon the importance of the yuuuge crowds he claimed to draw at every stage of the campaign, and that he would draw at his Inauguration). If Trump hadn't flipped his lid like the spoiled toddler he is, the story would have remained a brief and trivial side note. But he did, so it didn't. That's not the media's fault, that's Trump's fault. The media has done absolutely nothing wrong here. Every single part of this story is an entirely justifiable response to Trump's own statements and stated priorities. There is nothing of substance to your moaning, and no reason for it than to defend a guy with an R next to his name. Sorry, but that is the truth. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Donald Trump made crowd size relevant. Donald Trump claims crowd size is important. He constantly boasted about the size of his crowds during the primaries, he constantly boasted about the size of his crowds during the presidential campaign, and he constantly boasted about the size of the crowd he was going to get in the run up to the Inauguration. So what you are essentially moaning about is "How dare the media hold the President's own statements and priorities up to scrutiny!" This is, quite obviously, an absurd argument. Do you understand the concept of time? The inauguration happened first. Do you think the media should have a 48 hour cooling off period on reporting stories just in case something more interesting comes out later? And thanks to the chronic insecurities of the Narcissist-in-Chief it is succeeding beyond their wildest dreams. Speaking truth to power is what they're doing. The crowd size story is true. The story about the Trump campaign's brazen lies in response to the crowd size story is true. The stories weren't created by the media, they really exist. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The precise concept of a hiring freeze continues to elude you, eh? It could be either...if she's even an average RN she'll have no problem finding a job. The fact that she's no longer in the process of getting a job at the VA might have nothing to do with a hiring freeze at the VA? This conversation is very confusing. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

TJ Lunardi, one of the most overrated supervisory special agents in diplomatic security doesn't know me, but attacked me last night on facebook! He should spend more time fixing his service which is in horrible shape and falling apart. All talk no action! Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The one that still shows massive empty spaces in the crowd? The one that illustrates Trump is too stupid to understand perspective, and that's why he thought the whole mall was full? Yeah, we've seen it. LOL Yep Losing it! Could you please be absolutely clear about this - you can't see any empty white spaces in the Gigapixel image? Is that correct? You think the Gigapixel image shows just as many people at Trump's inauguration as at Obama's? Is that correct? If you could either confirm or deny those positions, that would be much appreciated. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The precise concept of a hiring freeze continues to elude you, eh? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Did YOU actually LOOK at it? Did you see all the big white empty spaces in it? Did you use your spatial awareness to consider the difference in perspective? Y'know, talking of intellect and all Do you want to have an ideagasm?
