Conway's husband is being mooted as Trump's pick for Solicitor General Hmm She knows which side her alternative bread is alternatively buttered.

Israel is an illegal country actually... stolen from the whites just like many other none European countries

Seriously.

Acrossthepond when you say retired bureaucrat do you mean spy? Grin

Roussette · 22/01/2017 18:45

Alternative facts. Piffle. What the f**k does that mean? Why not just call it a lie because that's what it is!

I can't stand that Kellyanne woman, there's something about her that worries me.

Yeah, lie is so much quicker and to the point. Can any of us imagine asking our kids: "when you said you didn't eat the last slice of cheesecake, you weren't alternative facting me were you?"

I am looking forward to the next press conference. I wonder how the press corps will tackle the statement of #spicerfacts and #alternativefacts.

ginger as far as I understand it Jerusalem doesn't actually belong to Israel and is a subject of current peace negotiations with the Palestinians. If America moved their embassy for Israel to Jerusalem they are saying they support Israel's claim to the city. This would understandably rather upset the Palestinians not to mention break international law.

mummytime · 22/01/2017 19:10

Significance of moving the Embassy is huge. It is a) a big insult to the Palestinians, and b) an insult to most Arabs.
Jerusalem should not belong to "Israel", it was supposed to be a shared city, and was at one point partitioned.
By moving the embassy there the US would be legitimising the Israeli occupation of the whole of Jerusalem, it is a bit like if they put a Israel consulate in one of the Settler communities on the West Bank. (Or put one in Kurdistan.)

Here is an explanation of the embassy business:

GingerIvy · 22/01/2017 19:13

Okay. I had a fairly tenuous grasp on it, but was at least in the right neighbourhood. Thank you so much for that.

Lweji · 22/01/2017 19:14

The significance of moving the Embassy, Ginger, is alienating the Palestine and most Muslim nations around Israel.
There's a reason for it being in Tel-a-viv.
Jerusalem is claimed by both sides and it's neutral not to associate it with the Israeli government.
I wonder who Trump wants to wipe out from the face of the Earth.

Had a great meeting at CIA Headquarters yesterday, packed house, paid great respect to Wall, long standing ovations, amazing people. WIN!

'Packed house'
'Long standing ovations'
'WIN'

It's all about popularity and ego for him. Is he so insecure that he has to constantly provide evidence that he is popular and people like him. So nothing much so far about the important stuff like running the country it's just mostly about how popular he is. Confused

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 22/01/2017 19:22

And sometimes leadership is about making unpopular decisions & seeing them through.

Posted this elsewhere but thought I'd add it to this thread, is a v funny monologue by the comedian Aziz Ansari about the Donald, certainly made me laugh!

Wow, just wow!

Pictures from all over the world of the Marches. absolutely millions of women... and men and children too. I know it is Womens Marches but I have looked at all of the pictures and it is all about Trump and his hateful words and actions. He needs to look at this. He might dismiss Washington but this is really global.

Gingerivy That is absolutely gobsmacking, he repeats repeats repeats, rambles, adds the beautiful and wonderful and amazing words again and again. It is nearly incoherent to be honest. How on earth do people buy into this buffoon?

amispartacus · 22/01/2017 19:46

His tactic is to take 1 thing that is false and use that to blame the entire media.

Just because 1 channel says something does not mean you can attack the entire media.
