WTF is Extreme Vetting??
BBC wrote:Donald Trump calls for 'extreme vetting' of immigrants to US
16 August 2016
US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said that he would enact "extreme vetting" of immigrants.
In a speech in Ohio, the candidate outlined his plans to combat Islamic extremism, including a new screening test for arrivals to the US.
Applicants will be tested to determine if they share Western liberal values like LGBT and religious tolerance.
Democratic rival Hillary Clinton poured scorn on his plan, labelling it a "cynical ploy".
"This so-called 'policy' cannot be taken seriously," said her spokesman.
"How can Trump put this forward with a straight face when he opposes marriage equality and selected as his running mate the man [Mike Pence] who signed an anti-LGBT law in Indiana?"
Under Mr Trump's plan, citizens from countries with a history of terror will be banned but it is not clear which nations.
In the speech, he did not lay out his own military strategy for defeating the so-called Islamic State.
But he did repeat his claim he was opposed to the Iraq War before it began, which fact-checkers say is untrue.
And he said that the oil in Iraq should have been seized by the US government to prevent it from becoming the property of IS.
In his speech, Mr Trump promised to:
Ban immigration from countries where terrorism is widespread and vetting is poor
Make alliances with all countries fighting against terrorism
Introduce an ideology test for new immigrants arriving to the US
Keep Guantanamo Bay prison open
Establish a presidential commission to investigate Islamic terror
Work with Nato, despite previously calling it "obsolete"
The billionaire initially proposed a blanket ban on all Muslims but has changed it to one that is based on an unspecified list of countries that export terror.
The latest proposal includes creating an ideological test for immigrants entering the country, with questions addressing how each applicant views American values such as religious freedom, gender equality and gay rights.
"Those who do not believe in our Constitution, or who support bigotry and hatred, will not be admitted for immigration into the country," he said.
I'm stuck on this phrase "Extreme Vetting". I mean, what is extreme about it? Harsh language? Pounding the table? Bringing in your mother-in-law to interrogate? I don't get the adjective.
Ok, so moving on, wouldn't the ersatz terrorists simply develop a strategy of 'extreme answering'? I have in mind a really extreme interview that would go like this...
Q. Do you believe in the fuckin' US Constitution, you scum-bag, muzzie arsehole?!
A. You're fuckin-A, Sir! Hoo-ra!
See, easy-peasy.
And what's with "extreme vetting" for immigration? The immigrants are not the problem. The 19-terrorists that brought down the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9.11.01, were not immigrants. They were visa-holders who went off the reservation.
If someone wants to commit a terrorist act in the US, does he apply for citizenship and wait two years for a response? Or does he get for a tourist visa and leave the grid in two days. Tough question.
Even when he gives a measured, Repuglican policy speech, he shows all the ignorance of a monkey in a cage.

I think, as usual, Trump is just throwing 21st century phrases around.

Don't thinks that's a phrase anyone but Trump would use in his desperation to impress his followers.

And I think that's an important point. It doesn't do anything except excite the already committed.
So, Trump is again preaching to the choir. How is that going to build his numbers?

Re: WTF is Extreme Vetting??
But you've got to say it with the same emphasis and repeat it 3 times for effect:
"Extreme Vetting" - "Extreme Vetting" - "Extreme Vetting"
Something his current wife wouldn't have been able to pass
But frankly ...given that 'Cheeto-Jesus' assumes that he's the 'walk on water' answer to all Americans; he'd not comprehend that a tricky-terrorist would just stand there and agree with all of his "EXTREME VETTING" questions like a stupid nodding dog?
Cheeto-Jesus:"Do You Believe In the USA's Constitution {even though I don't have a clue what it says" ...Terrorist = "but of course all mighty orange dude, whatever makes you happy!"
And all of the questions roll out as 'Cheeto-Jesus' has planned and his vision of "EXTREME VETTING" has magically solved all of the 'plausible terrorist' have been rooted out and there'll be no problems in America from that day forward!
And then 'Cheeto-Jesus' will provide us all with his other illusions of parting the Gulf of Mexico so "all of the illegals can just go home" and if he's in the right mood, 'Cheeto-Jesus' might do a little break dancing upon the waters!
"Extreme Vetting" - "Extreme Vetting" - "Extreme Vetting"
