Wow! Ginger that woman has some front:

'Haley said, "This administration is prepared and ready to have me go in and look at the UN and everything that's working. We're going to make it better. Anything not working, we'll fix, and anything that seems obsolete and not necessary, we're going to do away with."'

I'm sure the rest of the UN is just thrilled to hear that Hmm

Do you think they planned it for maximum effect? Signing today about extreme vetting for people from 7 countries on today of all days?? Surely they had to realise it was a very stupid move.

"This administration is prepared and ready to have me go in and look at the UN and everything that's working. We're going to make it better. Anything not working, we'll fix, and anything that seems obsolete and not necessary, we're going to do away with."

Hayley.

I understand my compatriot Guterres (claig, are you reading? Grin) needs to keep the US on side, as it's an important player, and he is a great diplomat and humanist, but I hope he's telling him to "ir ao bilhar grande" (that's the polite(ish) version) lots of times.

Bit confused why there would be a war between America and Russia if Trump is in Putin's pocket?

Feel like there's so much going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. Is v scary and worrying, so much potential for conflict right now.

AND WTF HAPPENED TO CLAIG? Was she/he/it some kind of plant...?

"‘It’s countries that have tremendous terror,’ "
"“It’s countries that people are going to come in and cause us tremendous problems. Our country has enough problems without allowing people to come in who, in many cases or in some cases, are looking to do tremendous destruction.”"

He should know. He's creating those problems. He can't allow others to create more bigly tremendous destruction than him.

( sorry there is a discussion above that happened whilst I was writing my above post!)

Wars mean big money. Bigger money than anything else.

GingerIvy · 27/01/2017 17:23

Trump hasn't banned migration from a single one of the countries the 9/11 hijackers came from. Shows what a farce his order is.

GingerIvy · 27/01/2017 17:24

(sorry - lifted that from someone else's tweet, but the info is there)

Lweji · 27/01/2017 17:24

No! Surely not!
Plants have roots and leaves. I'm thinking (always did) either electronic circuits, or paid underbridge dweller.

Lweji · 27/01/2017 17:26

So... No Saudi Arabia, but Yemen yes.

Destinysdaughter · 27/01/2017 17:26

Yes I agree, wars do mean big money.

Fuckers! We're just bloody pawns aren't we?

I so wish we weren't leaving the EU right now. ...q

Lweji · 27/01/2017 17:29

Yes, wars are big money. Particularly proxy wars, like those "fought" between the US and Russia before.

Anyone's guess where the next proxies will be.

Oh good lord, those analyses of interviews with Michael D’Antonio, Formerpig!

Back in the days of VCRs, Donald used to keep copies of videos of himself by his bed, to watch when his ego flagged.

woman12345 · 27/01/2017 17:39

Destinysdaughter email campaign to write to MPs and MEPs , if you can bear to, www.writetothem.com
watch out for the ukips though, I accidentally sent one to UKIP MEP asking him to help in campaign to stay in EU and now we're pen pals. Confused

GingerIvy · 27/01/2017 17:41

There's someone on twitter that is digging up and posting a huge amount of dirt on Trump and Pence.
Like this:

VP Mike Pence "there's no link medically identifying smoking as causing lung cancer"
(after Pence took a donation from a cigarette company)

MycatsaPirate · 27/01/2017 17:42

Can't believe he's still tweeting about the crowd size at his inauguration.

For The Donald:

SanFranBear · 27/01/2017 17:43

Our country has enough problems without allowing people to come in who, in many cases or in some cases, are looking to do tremendous destruction ... well, which is it - many or some as it can't be both?! Argh....

And I'm not defending her but Claig had been around for a very long time, spouting the same shit that I personally wasn't surprised to see her pushing Trump so forcefully. I don't believe she is a troll or a plant - but then again, who knows in this tremendous new world we're living in?

GingerIvy · 27/01/2017 17:44

Are you implying that Claig was Patriot/Propaganda Barbie?? Grin

SanFranBear · 27/01/2017 17:47

Now that would be beautiful, tremendous, and very bigly not SAD!

Destinysdaughter · 27/01/2017 17:47

It's just so odd, considering how vociferous she was, how conspicuously absent she is now...

Formerpigwrestler9 · 27/01/2017 17:55

ah yes Claig, she was such a professional wasnt she, must be in a state of euphoria so extreme that she is incapacitated?
