Interesting reading.

Still boggles that Angry Spice is using the Quebec shooting to justify the Muslim ban. Is he aiming for a "less targets, less danger" plan? What a tool.

If you didn't vote for the fecker (& as long as you tried to get Clinton in, even if that meant holding your nose), It Is Not Your Fault And We Do Not Blame You. (Well, ok, I've not been authorised to speak for the world at large, but...)

If you are able, put your energies into bringing the gobshite down. Have you contacted your Senator to ask them not to let Sessions anywhere near that appointment, fr'example?

Good luck. And you are, of course, v welcome on this thread. Even if you just need a bit of weebling space.

Angry Republicans lash out at Trump for not consulting them on travel ban

Yes, for the love of god, phone calls to Senators as it looks like they might be voting for confirmation of Sessions as early as Wednesday.

The U.S. oil and gas industry is feeling the 'Trump effect' on.forbes.com/60138rnMZ

I can't read Washington post links as I've used up my monthly amount of articles!

A plus for the industry, but a big fat neg for the environment and any other forms of energy, as I suspect this will be his focus.

If anyone is interested enough, you can read the transcript of this evening's emergency debate in the Commons here: www.hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2017-01-30/debates/448738C3-927F-481B-8340-809810F30595/ChangesInUSImmigrationPolicy

The earlier debate (if you can stomach Johnson's toadying) is here: www.hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2017-01-30/debates/05CC503D-9918-4C0E-A097-F72595ECAAD5/ChangesInUSImmigrationPolicy

(Yes, I read Hansard debates sometimes. It's what all the cool kids are doing. Yup. Much easier reads now than slogging through stuff from the C19. And the ones where my MP is giving out to Jeremy Hunt are always fun. I think he's actually scared of her. She could definitely take him in a fight if it came to it, as well... not that I have ever imagined this. Noooooooo...)

I'm also really heartened by how many Americans are out on the street demonstrating, lawyers offering their services etc. Apparently the Bernie Sanders movement meant that a protest movement had already been formed and could mobilise quickly.

Making sure even the Trump Library will be a disorganised mess ...

Zebra I could barely stomach watching Johnson. He made me so angry. He should not be in that job.

This explains dissent channels:

www.afsa.org/dissent-channel

They seem like a very good idea - a way to get the benefit of honest feedback.

Apparently they were first used in the 1970's because it was realised that dissenting opinions were suppressed during the Vietnam War.

Of course, Trump does not value dissent.

And this is the man who can instruct armed forces over - what is it - 1900 deployed nuclear missiles ?

Dear Goodness.
