So when will the first major terrorist incident on US citizens be? It's going to happen - and Trump's reaction will say so much...

The way he is going with no provocation can you imagine what he will do when there is actually a terrorist incident? I no longer think it is conspiracy talk to believe he would use it as an excuse to declare marshall law and start seriously clearing out immigrants and Muslims from the country. I am terrified of an attack not simply for the horrible loss of life, but because of what it would lead to when trump responds. The worst thing is the terrorists know this and it is exactly what they want! Angry

I used to have a lovely job in a library opposite Friern Barnet Hospital in Norf London. The patients suffered from mental illness and were some of our lovely readers. One in particular had to check Nostrodamus every day.

It is so difficult to keep from succumbing to feeling like that patient, in present circumstances, but thanks again Rousette posters threaders for keeping it at bay.

Bigly not mad.

woman He's not a highly well known one - but there will be more that will hopefully stand up. Fingers crossed.

My DH was born from one of the banned countries...he will ever go back, classes himself as an athetist and sees the UK as his home.

He flies many times a year to the US and works for a US company, so in essence is contributing to their economy.

He's now had to cancel a trip and is very worried in deed.

Someone upthread said he was a nazi....I totally agree!

I'm not seeing that news on bbc or CNN.

Zeeman was criticised for applying this theory to social situations.
But it probably gives a useful insight.

The Telegraph reports the death as well

I'm not in the least surprised.

Dual too? Fuuuck. So my US born cousin can be refused re-entry? Madness, utter madness.

GingerIvy · 28/01/2017 19:31

Convenient. My hope is that someone else has all the info, so Trump can still be prosecuted. It's too much of a coincidence - how can people be so naive??

Or rather, the man died a while ago. It's how he died that is the subject of speculation.

Apparently Malia Obama joined protests against the Dakota access pipeline. So that's nice and I will take any bit of niceness where I can get it right now Smile
