Why has Obama said nothing about this? There's been no tweets from him for 6 days...

Just had someone comment on one of my FB posts. that Trump would not keep "legitimate Muslims" out, so that was ok then. Hmm I LOVE how you don't hear from some people for years, until they crawl out to argue their far-right viewpoint.

IMPORTANT: 4 different judges in New York, Virginia, Boston, & Seattle have now deemed Trump's Executive order unlawful & unconstitutional.

amispartacus · 29/01/2017 17:27

We live in interesting times.

Our PM going to the courts to fight a challenge that said Parliament has ultimate say.

Our press villifying the judges

In America, the press being villified by the President and the judges being ignored.

Seems as if the law requires NSC members to have been confirmed to other posts by the Senate. So this is illegal, no? & incredibly reckless

Am now arguing on Twitter about that convenient erasing of the Jews from White House statement.

I was unable to let "whether or not you agree with what the Germans did" go.

Unfortunately, he is mansplaining History to me. Despite my attempting to forestall this by doing the frankly embarrassing & ridiculous thing of ending a tweet with (MA Cantab, History). Though he probably didn't understand what that meant. He's too busy Making America Gormless Again. That's what MAGA means, right?

Brokenbiscuit · 29/01/2017 17:36

I agree with you, OP. In the beginning, it was fascinating - I watched with incredulity as he lied about the crowds at his inauguration. The "alternative facts" were sinister, in terms of what they represented - a man unwilling to let the truth get in the way of his ego - but his obsession with the number of people who turned up was ultimately ridiculous. It didn't really matter.

Now, it's serious. And I can't believe it's happening so fast.

Above all, I think I'm afraid of how he will react if he is told that he can't do what he wants to do. I don't think he is used to not getting his own way.
