Trump thread continued

[amispartacus]

Follow on from before.

It's not funny anymore. It' serious

"it was only a small number - a 109 I think - people that were inconvenienced"

Barely in a day.

It must fall under the "small loan of 1 million dollars" category.

sorry there was a pic (hence the from a 10th floor office), but couldn't get it to load.

Google cofounder Sergey Brin at SFO protest: "I'm here because I'm a refugee."

Mostly, it starts at the us Embassy at 11am and the march goes to Downing Street.

2017: Where you don't have to go back in time to fight Nazis. You just have to get off your ass.

Where's Claig gone? He/She used to be all over the threads on Trump before the election, have I missed something?

I'm just worried that all these protests will be counter productive. It just reiterates the message over and over and over again that's Trump is you know willing to act / the only one doing something / tough on Islamic terrorism ... that somehow all this opposition plays into his hands. How many people appalled by what is happening voted for this man? I am assuming none or very few. Whereas the people who did and want the wall and the Muslim ban etc will be thrilled both with it all happening as well as the outcry.

That's not to say do nothing.... but I'm just feeling like it's all a bit futile at the moment. It's all about the spin isn't it? And he's getting what he wants.

Agree with OP that this is no longer funny.

These threads still have all the best posters though.

Thank you all. Bigly.

And the shit is starting to fly....

President Trump doesn't get to ignore a Federal judge's order. He is not above the law. The Constitution makes that clear.

Placemarking. You amazing people are doing a better job than the msm at keeping us up to date.

Spicer:"The safety of the American citizen is paramount'

So how will he react to the next gun shooting massacre carried out by white American who is non Muslim?

The Normalization Trap, NYT

"The consequences can be serious. Our research suggests, for example, that as President Trump continues to do things that once would have been regarded as outlandish, these actions are not simply coming to be regarded as more typical; they are coming to be seen as more normal. As a result, they will come to be seen as less bad and hence less worthy of outrage."

passingthrough the point is that the EO was unconstitutional. Discriminatory based on religion. And it's affecting people's lives. It can't happen. It's against everything the Constitution is based on.

If we can't follow our own laws, what's the point in having a government?

Irene I always think Paul Ryan looks faintly robotic. What an about turn.

Here's some of what he has said...
I do not think a muslim ban is in our country's interests
Muslims are our partners
Muslims are among our best allies
And so on....

I can only presume he not only wees on prostitutes but poos too and the orange one has photos

Even if this ban is reversed, how long before anyone trusts American promises again? Will devastate our fight against terrorism.

You can't eradicate terror with nukes. You need people's trust on the ground. Trump destroyed that trust. Will take a decade to get it back.

Patriot Barbie wants all reporters that talked smack about Trump to be fired.

Here's an editor's reaction.... I don't think he's worried.

Kellyanne thinks people who said untrue things should be fired. The irony here is breathtaking.

NYT

Senator Rob Portman, Republican of Ohio, likewise conceded problems with the order’s rollout and called for a re-evaluation of the White House’s unilateral effort.

“You have an extreme vetting proposal that did not get the vetting it should have had,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” adding that Congress should be part of finding a solution that “makes sense for our national security and, again, for this notion that America has always been a welcoming home for refugees and immigrants.”

I do hope GOP representatives act where their mouth is.
Starting with McCain.

Protest at the white house.

Half hour in and Lafayette Square is almost full.

That's her gone then ginger as she perpetuated the myth of the yuge crowds at inauguration.

Just incidentally... totally shallow here... but my god did anyone see her interviewed today ... she had so much make up on her eyes she could barely open them and TBH it looked like someone had given her two black eyes. She looked like it was all getting too much for her TBH.

Thanks Kitten - so, meets Saturday 11.00am outside US Embassy!

Fmr. Defense Sec. Gates: "Big mistake" to push key intelligence, military leaders out of security council meetings abcn.ws/2jFVec2

passing, the question to ask yourself is which side of history do you want to be on? do you want to be asked in 40 years time 'why did no one stop him?'

People are getting tired and a little snarky.

No guts to go after President Fubar among Reps in Congress, but can they at least consider impeaching shadow president Bannon?
