Spicer claims imminent threat prevented WH from informing anyone in advance of immigration executive order.

There's actually video out there of Patriot Barbie trashing Trump quite happily before he hired her. Within the last 9 months.

Spicer claims imminent threat prevented WH from informing anyone in advance of immigration executive order.

Yes, imminent threat of being declared inconstitutional and overturned before it even got signed.

Apologies to anyone following Adam Khan on twitter but this just says it all... his take on Trump's top advisers' intentions in first 180 days. I'm afraid to say I think he is right.

Now what? If Judge grants contempt order & sends Federal Marshals against CBP & WH sides w/CBP in defiance—who/what defends Constitution?

BigBadgers · 29/01/2017 18:12

Hmm.... I'm not sure what your point is cream. Just because someone else is also horrible didn't mean we shouldn't fcall out trump. In fact it makes it even more important when he has such a position of power.

Fadel Soliman is not president of the United States of America and the petition isn't to ban Trump, it is against a state visit.

Formerpigwrestler9 · 29/01/2017 18:13

it's not looking good for world peace then is it

GingerIvy · 29/01/2017 18:13

We are on the edge of a serious serious confrontation here. If federal judge grants contempt order and Federal Marshalls go against CBP and WH backs them up, we have an acting government openly defying federal judges.

GrouchyKiwi · 29/01/2017 18:14

I have found a Trump silver lining: surely now the rest of the world will stop pretending that the US president is the leader of the free world.

The world has gone mad! Everything is at extremes. For years it's been the politically correct rheatoris that insists we should all be accepting of globalisation, how we are all one and if you don't agree with something you a horrible [insert] phobic person who is too ignorant to understand we are all the same and we need to accept other cultures taking precedence over our own so we don't offend others. Now people have revolted through democracy as they have became fed up with their views being ignored and they think they now have a voice and things have swung to the other extreme. Neither position is right and one has led to the other I'm afraid, when people are forced to extremes it seems to create a void where the other extreme builds to counteract it. We need to get back to some middle ground. I'd be surprised if trump made it to the end of his term without someone taking a shot
