Agree it's not funny any more. This is only a week in to the job, these are the things they decided to do first.

Ginger: "Fuck knows why. Unless it's actually Bannon making the decisions. (which many suspect)"

Suspect? I'm pretty close to being certain.

Keep up the good work - your posts are great.

Remember when Theresa May’s predecessor accused Sadiq Khan of sharing a platform with an extremist? That was ironic wasn’t it?

This reminds me of my last job when in the first week I managed to bugger up the entire company database by pressing one little button. And I thought that was a monumental early days pickup.

amispartacus · 29/01/2017 19:39

All I've seen elsewhere is 'whataboutery' - what about Jews not being allowed to various Middle Eastern countries? Where's the protest?

That's wrong - places should not discriminate against other people.

But 2 wrongs don't make a right. America is just better than this. We are better than this.

This is really fucking scary. You're right OP, its not funny anymore, Trump is actually having an effect on things. I don't know whether he is being used be someone else or if its actually him but in either case this is terrifying.

GingerIvy · 29/01/2017 19:41

Michael Flynn Jr's twitter account has possibly disappeared. He was leaking info and making them all look foolish, so I'm not surprised. Apparently only Trump is allowed to do that.

I do enjoy some of the sarcasm, I have to admit. Grin

Just getting on the new thread. Thankyou to you all, this thread is hugely informative.

amispartacus · 29/01/2017 19:42

I find it rather scary that 1 man can have so much power without debate by elected representatives and a vote.

It makes you question what power the PM has...

Wow. White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus' mother was BORN IN SUDAN. The same country Trump's trying to block immigrants from. Stunning

Ginger I think you're fucking brilliant! I really admire your dedication to this. You're like the anti Claig ❤️❤️

Yes yes yes to this!

I also get concerned about what some of the commentators aren't talking about - it's been one amazing week and so much has happened.

Wouldn't surprise me. Only a few days ago, Trump was saying about illegal votes all being cast for Clinton - yet his own daughter was registered in 2 states.

I know, it was a few days ago. Things have moved on.
