Everyone other than Trump supporters? The problem is what happens while he tries and what tools he will have when he tries. How is that cabinet looking? A dozen executive orders in 7 days? That's a pace to result in Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama combined... and we still have his nominee to Supreme court to go... good times...

Again and just to put everyone up to date:
This is not a temporary stop on the ban. This is to allow migrants with legal US visa to still enter the US, which Trump's decreet didn't allow.
So, again, the title is misleading. The court order says that already legal migrants can still move in. People from the blocked country who do not have a visa and apply, for instance, will be refused.

[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
I love it how you instantly assume that the person I mentioned is a kid of the ME immigrant descendants. Nope, he is actually a white guy who read too much dank Internet and came to the ideas of violent Jihad.
So, ban Americans from America! Or, even better, build a wall between America and America! Come on, Trump, we count on you!

The fact that he even tries is mind-boggling.
Did anyone actually read the article OP linked to? It clearly stated that this affects those who already have legal authority to be in the US. It doesn't however mean the ban has been denied. It just means we cant deport those currently here legally or those in legal transit(aka 2-3 days).
Just one of many challenges I would imagine. People aren't just going to sit by as he throws EO after EO proclaiming nonsense.

It will be pretty funny and ironic, if his EOs and rhetoric eventually makes the US open its doors for refugees more than before. Perhaps the optimists were right, and Trump is the bitter pill that the nation needs right now, to remember what all these Western values were about and get back on the right track?
Its amazing that in the last 8 years we have seen the extra judicial killings of thousands of civilians, and there was never a protest like this over a few people being detained and denied access. How many people did Obama just outright murder without evidence who were no different from the handful of people who were denied entry to the US so far because of this executive order?
Of course, there is no way to reason logically with the type of people who mindlessly oppose Trump and chant slogans like 'no country no border', these are people purely driven by emotion.

Yeah, we need Trump to turn the left into pro-intervention/world policing, we gotta help these immigrants so lets go set more of the planet on fire. We better arm some more terrorists and start some more civil wars because we really need to help these people out.
You do realize that the only point of all this refugee nonsense is to push for intervention and more wars right?

There is the sad paradox of a world which is more and more sensitive about being politically correct, almost to the point of ridicule, yet does not wish to acknowledge or to respect believers’ faith in God
You are delusional if you think Trump will be stopped by by some judges. The US president's powers were based on Europe's kings of old, and remained virtually unchanged since US creation. There is nearly nothing they can do to overturn his decisions if he remains motivated enough to enforce them.
the court didn't overrule the ban they fixed the wording to allow Green Card Citizens legal entry which probably would have happened anyways in the next day.. If trump is guilty of anything its wording the law badly... No new Visa's will be issued for 90 days to people from these 7 countries the judge did not overrule that.

Trump signed 14. in his first 7 days
Obama signed 12 in his first 7 days
and if you actually look into what he passed 6-7 were the usual (dem/rep back and forth that every president does).
One was the Keystone XL pipeline which Obama had veto'ed after passing the house/senate.
"which passed the House by a vote of 270 to 152. Twenty-nine Democrats voted with Republicans in favor of the measure.
While it drew bipartisan support, it is not expected to draw the two-thirds majority necessary to override a veto."
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/12/u...bill.html?_r=0
One was a order helping to restore increased Border Patrol which was scaled back under Obama.. Hiring 15,000 new officers for patrol/Enforcement of deportations which the democrats kept claiming were not happening due to lack of manpower.....
The one today might be the only "radical" executive order..

No one seemed to care about presidential over reach when Obama did it.....
No one seemed to care when Obama droned innocent families to get at the terrorists...
No one seemed to care when Obama put a travel Ban on Iraq in 2011...
And its funny because the Obama admin already had very strict/tight control over travel from those very same area's, Trump just took it one step further.

Assuming that "when Obama did it" is even equivalent, you can't just go around saying "B-b-b-b-but Obama!!!!!"
Just because Obama did it, suddenly it's justified? This isn't playground recess anymore, you can't go around saying "but Billy did it too!"
