Interesting that a few signs of the protesters say "Where are the pro-lifers?"

Nicola Sturgeon calls for Trump's UK visit to be cancelled over travel ban

Safe bet he won't be invited up to Scotland to visit then?

This is by far the most worrying.... he clearly has specific things in mind, and it's not likely to be good for anyone but him.

#UPDATE Trump has said he wants a candidate who is against abortion and pro guns u.afp.com/4cni

Destinysdaughter · 30/01/2017 16:06

"Pro life" means something very odd in America!

amispartacus · 30/01/2017 16:11

Trump has said he wants a candidate who is against abortion and pro guns

I don't get that logic. Guns kill. I did hear a Republican this morning say that guns prevent deaths but Orlando,Sandy Hook, Columbine show that guns kill. Orlando targeted the LGBT community.

But they are pro life at the same time

Strange to suddenly turn a population against you when you are supporting local troops.

This sets out very clearly what the ulterior motives for all of this are.

For instance, the purge of the State Department (not resignations) was timed before the Muslim ban took place because if all those people were still in office, it would not have happened. Look at the article. There is barely anyone left and an unfilled Secretary of State position (most likely Tillerson, another puppet of Trumps)

Filing for candidacy on inauguration day means he can be bribed. He can accept money from anywhere, in the US.. Russia, anywhere.

The administration is testing how far they can push the Department of Homeland Security. So far it's working. This is happening at the airports. Justice Courts will be bypassed. So he can carry on totally unchecked.

The reorganisation of the National Security Council is a huge huge thing. Bannon has been put at the top. The position he has taken is normally for Generals. He served in the Navy for 6 years in the eighties. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Director of National Intelligence have been totally sidelined.

Trump is creating his own intelligence community,

There is a lot about money in this report too. I am furious that those in the US have allowed this to happen as far as no blind trusts for his companies. Why, oh why. They've never allowed it for previous Presidents so why...

This...
The regime’s main organizational goal right now is to transfer all effective power to a tight inner circle, eliminating any possible checks from either the Federal bureaucracy, Congress, or the Courts. Departments are being reorganized or purged to effect this.
And this
The aims of crushing various groups — Muslims, Latinos, the black and trans communities, academics, the press — are very much primary aims of the regime, and are likely to be acted on with much greater speed than was earlier suspected. The secondary aim of personal enrichment is also very much in play, and clever people will find ways to play these two goals off each other.

How can this have happened? I just don't understand how one person can have so much power. When I thought DT would get in, I stupidly also thought that he could be opposed by in the Administration and he wouldn't be able to create this. Unfortunately, I was very wrong.

Did he really file on inauguration day, or is that false news? If true, how can he have been so organised so quickly, unless there is a master plan behind him. Sad

merrymouse · 30/01/2017 16:25

No strong politician has to send out a loyal spokesperson everyday to winge about the 'MSM'.

Diane Abbott hasn't been able to help Jeremy Corbyn and Conway won't be able to help Trump. The more she complains the weaker he looks.

We happened amispartacus

We allowed ourselves as a Nation to treat Farage and Trump as comic book villains when they actually are real life horrible people.
