    Ah, and now the dishonesty. That is not what people mean when they say a blanket ban on travel and I’m sure you’re not stupid, so you know that.

    There’s a reason that the AP article linked above doesn’t use that term in this case.

    What is there to address about the blanket ban?

    I don’t know, how about something like, “okay, I didn’t mean ‘blanket ban,’ that was wrong of me.”

    But, of course, this is the internet and admitting your wrong is the worst thing ever, so I won’t be holding my breath.
