Remember those people who said Hillary was a warmonger

Yes.

Stupid, stupid people.

Who said the US was led by very stupid people?

Where is Misswatch?

Thanks Zebra - that's a very clear way of explaining it and you make some valid points, particularly about them being the 'good guys'. It's awful they were the good guys It's also sad that the guilt seeps down through the ages - makes me glad that Angela Merkel is standing strong for the German people.

JFK

I have to say it's good to see the American people protesting.

I hope everything Trump is boycotted,

I hope everything Trump is boycotted

Which golf course in Scotland does he own? I will boycott it.

But yes - he has pissed off a lot of people. Countries can hit him where it hurts. Economically.

The problem is that NYC aren't representative of the Us population.

I still fear there are millions who agree with him.

Detained travelers at LAX not allowed access to attorneys, including Iranian who was to become citizen in two weeks - she's held a green card for 5 years and her swearing in ceremony is in two weeks. She has her baby (who has american citizenship) with her.

There are, Chipped. Sadly, I just had to unfriend someone tonight that does. I posted earlier what she put. You just can't reason with someone that buys into his bullshit.

There are actually immigration lawyers holding placards so they can be located to help people at the airports.

When will the Foreign Office issue travel advice?

New York State Governor has issued a statement - very damning towards the government and pledging to deploy help in any way they can.

I still fear there are millions who agree with him

And I bet there are loads of people in the UK who agree with him too...

There's a protest at 6pm at LAX.

3 GOPs have come out publicly against the ban.

It's unbelievable what is happening.

I feel totally helpless as all this unfolds. It's like watching someone do something in slow motion you know will end in disaster but despite yelling you can't stop it. Like a bad dream!

(I have emailed my (Labour) MP to ask to vote against Articke 50, thanks to this thread for raising that. )

This refugee ban is clearly poorly thought out - green cards / dual citizenship etc it seems to be made up as they go along.

Well done Canada.

Shame on you May.

The scary thing is, is that during the election he actually said he was going to do these things and the American people voted for him!

Claire McCaskill 's statement:

As a ranking member of Homeland Security I have serious questions to ask about the decree from President Trump that certain children from certain countries, based on certain religion, are no longer welcome in our country. And the notion that our government would then prioritize one religion for admittance to our nation flies in the face of our sacred value of liberty and freedom of religion.

god, the last time I looked at this was the old thread at about this time last night. and it is getting worser and worser and even BIGLY worser. I guess I can write to my MP (who btw is apparently one of the most expensive in the country...) but last time I did that, in relation to Dignity in Dying, I got a v polite fuck off.

yes agree shame on Teresa May. but worst of all is the situation in which it seems Mr Orange can just DO this shit?

What's the rationale for excluding Saudi Arabia, where the majority of the 9/11 hijackers were from, from being on the ban list?

I'm guessing his business interests.

People were saying he might do some of these things over his period but his main focus would be the economy......

And don't forget - he lost the popular vote. Except he said a few days ago that there was millions of illegal votes and every single illegal vote was a Clinton vote so he won the popular vote as well.

I know - that was a few days ago. Things have moved on since then

LITERALLY on the ground. Volunteer lawyers are working pro-bono on a Saturday preparing habeus corpus petitions for detainees at JFK.

Tom Watson is calling for Britons to 'keep an open mind' over Trump

You know the dead cat strategy.

Has anything else happened today that is important?

He signed those 3 EOs, but I'm not really up on the specifics other than what I posted previously. I did laugh at the one that said he would have a full plan on how to defeat ISIS within the next 30 days. He said it would be fantastic. Wonderful. And "we'll win."
