I expect they are Trump supporters, because if it had been my child I'd be telling the whole press where he could go.

BTW, Pence on what's his name

Vice President Pence ‏*@VP* 20 h

Tonight, @POTUS nominated a Supreme Court Justice who will uphold the God-given liberties enshrined in our constitution — Judge Gorsuch.

Next, he'll be saying the US Constitution is the Word of the Lord.

Ok, the implications of this disgust me. They are detaining a 7yo child with cancer?

Poor child, and parents. Sad

Do they really want to confront Iran in a war? Shock It wouldn't be as easy as Iraq (and that went really well!).

Iran - a new Vietnam? But this time the UK won't keep out, it will run in behind Trump.
But then Harold Wilson was much smarter than Cameron or May - he knew what answer he would get before he held his Referendum.

So scared right now, what the fuck does 'on notice' mean?

GingerIvy · 01/02/2017 21:26

Oh, sorry - meant to add - it's a fake account - but many will think it's real. Things are shitty enough without that.

GingerIvy · 01/02/2017 21:27

"On notice" officially means diddly squat. It's not an "official" thing. It's basically Trump and Bannon getting out the tape measure and spraying down the white house with testosterone so that the US thinks they're talking tough.

Oh dear god. Read this. Angry Spice and Flynn are going to piss off Iran to the point where they just hit the button, aren't they?

"instead of being grateful...." FFS.

GingerIvy · 01/02/2017 21:31

Across No, it's a fake account. Pretty sure. Actual Exxon wouldn't be so stupid. They actually have an intelligent PR guy - it's why you don't hear of them much.
