Please RT: Lawyers at JFK Terminal 4 URGENTLY need Farsi and Arabic interpreters. Anyone capable of helping should contact the @ACLU.

cozietoesie, it's a strong message for sure. I only spotted it in my sidebar as I was browsing to something else.

Rousette Sorry, MN and the whole world seem to be moving so fast I can barely keep up with one thread. I suspect three days of no sleep have an effect too lol. I'm glad you posted it too. It's so easy to miss things.

Thank you to everyone keeping the info flowing.

Is he confused or are you?

Nice to see at least some journalists asking hard questions...

Sean Spicer getting very angry

Does everybody understand how big it is that the U.S. Marshal service has been ordered to ignore judicial orders & answer to the executive?

No, can you say some more about that?

Oh well, they are all screwed then :o

Just got this email, it could be interesting as long as the MPs turn up.

Taking my evening meds while catching up & the image of Kenny & Trump holding hands made me laugh formoterol down my nose. Am just glad I wasn't trying to swallow my tablets as that would've been disastrous, even on now-drastically-reduced-number of them - a mere 12, it was 20 before last rejig... In my head they were going full Céilí...

Badger - I suspect that if he was a recent immigrant, that would have been in the title. Sensationalist, you know.

destinys it wasn't my comment, that was the tweet. But it really just highlights that the courts are no longer independent, as Trump controls the outcome. Which is highly scary.

Rep. Joe Crowley: "We were told during the campaign not to take President Bannon — I'm sorry, I meant President Trump — literally."

I think it's true that he didn't mean it literally.
But in the same way he said he loved babies and then asked people if they believed him and kicked the baby out.

It's the "I like the Mexicans/ the Blacks/ the gays/ the women/ the whatever" that people should have doubted.

And our media will fall all over themselves doing exactly what the Trump people want them to do.

Humor aside, it's frightening that the White House Press Secretary of the USA lies about what he himself has said.
The entire world watches those briefings. If you can't trust the White House spokesman, it makes the world a very dangerous place.
You can support Trump's agenda and still be alarmed at the Administration's chaos, mixed messages, and the global instability it causes.

Great question

Is Trump bringing people together?

Ancient history--Republicans once thought executive orders were presidential overreach. Good for a laugh. www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-106hhrg62209/html/CHRG-106hhrg62209.htm …

Ouch.

I do wonder how this week has gone down in mainly Muslim countries? What is being said? What reactions will there be?

I saw an Iranian and an Iraqi on BBC News last night and they both said that on national media, it wasn't really discussed. However, on social media it was all that was being discussed.

He's going to lose the South. Alaska also, perhaps.

Re Trump's "game show" style announcement of who he chooses for Supreme Court Judge (although obviously they still go through a vetting).

But will there be parting gifts?

Trump is SO bringing pp together in ways that were almost unimaginable before!

Sean Spicer asked about Trump's comments on Fox about targetting the families of terrorists.

In the U.S., you're more likely to be killed by a vending machine than by a refugee-turned-terrorist. #justsaying
