From that article about tourism:

"However, according to the WTTC, bookings to the US are already faltering.

“There have been reports that flight inquiries from Europe to the US have been down 30 per cent since the inauguration of President Trump,” said a spokesperson.

Telegraph Travel this week reported that Trump’s latest hotel venture, the Trump International Hotel Washington DC, recorded losses of more than $1million (£800,000) within two months of opening."

Ha

Trump has even managed to unite Jews and Muslims.
Nobel Prize next year.

Btw, has anyone watched Little Mosque on the Prairie? It's a Canadian series.

Muslims and Anglicans have to share their place of worship.

I was reminded by the offers of the Synagogue for Muslims to pray.
Same god and all. :)

Appalling.

That idiot Spicer saying "a few people were inconvenienced" but it was worth it to ensure the safety of the country. What bollocks as the article shows.

Trump is still making money. The government is paying for Secret Service people to stay in Trump Towers to protect his family. And he'll get paid at his resort when he's "on holiday" there for them to stay there. Every time he "holidays" at one of his hotels, he gets paid by the government for his stay and that of his people with him.

This article points out exactly what Trump supporters have voted for

Let's hope they have a rude awakening. Abby who came on here talking about her huge Obamacare premiums should read this article.

"Iran officially on notice:" Another gift for "woke" leftists who supported Trump or Stein cuz Clinton was going to start a Middle East war

I was so disgusted with the Supreme Court announcement being treated like the Miss Universe pageant and his "Did I surprise you folks?" comment that I had to turn the TV off and pour a stiff drink.

We are being made the laughing stock of the world. I'm not planning any international trips in the near future, but if I were I think I'd be tempted to cancel them, I'm so embarrassed right now. It's like when your child throws a tantrum in public, you know it's really not your fault but you're still embarrassed.

There was some talk - pre-election - that a good many voters didn't actually know that the 'Affordable Care Act' might otherwise be 'Obamacare'.

Oh God pp in Stoke saying" we need a Trump over here...' Shock

It's more of a 'Make America Greet Again', eh? (He's half Scots so should understand that.)

OhYouBadBadKitten · 01/02/2017 19:16

Back to Russia and hacking fears again but this time it's the Dutch who will be counting election votes by hand due to hacking fears.

Lweji · 01/02/2017 19:17

More seriously, Trump will be a serious candidate for the IgNobels. It's a thing. Really.

woman12345 · 01/02/2017 19:20

Destinysdaughter I saw that. Sometimes I wonder, what is the fucking point.

AcrossthePond55 · 01/02/2017 19:21

Abby who came on here talking about her huge Obamacare premiums should read this article.

I didn't want to fan her flames, but I don't believe the 'sky high premiums' are the majority experience. Obamacare saved my son's life, literally. He lost his job and health insurance when he had a PTSD-related breakdown. He then became suicidal. Obamacare got him excellent health insurance (the same as he had at work) for US $78.00 per month after adjustment for the govt subsidy. It allowed him to keep his own doctors and to obtain the excellent MH care that he received. He's now been back to work almost a year and back on employment health care.

My cousin has just gotten Obamacare related health insurance, her premium is going from $500.00 per month to around $300.00 per month. Her annual deductible is going from $6000.00 per year (that's NOT a typo, $6000) to $350.00, and will exclude annual exams and tests.

This is an interesting view point

The good bit about the Handmaid's Tale, was the free land the oppressed and fucked over women escaped to to be free. Any suggestions? Women's march was the safest place I've been since June.

AcrossthePond55 · 01/02/2017 19:24

Meaning that her annual exams and tests are NOT subject to the deductible!

originalmavis · 01/02/2017 19:24

Stoke - well where do I start?

So the fuckers are really spoiling to nuke Iran aren't they? Sweet Jesus that's a worry.
