Another question:

Nigeria - why isn't that on the list? Boka Harem is terrorist organisation. Surely Nigerian people are a danger.

There are Muslims in Nigeria. 50 - 60% Muslim.

I like to ask people - well IF this is what he believes, then WHY isn't he doing the same to these people?

There was an argument that the countries on the list were chosen because the US couldn't get info/intelligence from those governments ( don't know if that was true or not?)

amispartacus: Shock I hadn't checked the share price, I thought I was making a flippant comment... but that's an interesting jump in share price between November 8th/9th. What happened then?

squishysquirmy · 01/02/2017 11:34

A lot of defence industry shares had a boost in Early November. Must be because Trump is such a dove.

And gold...people hord gold in times of crisis.

Look at the dates

The Petition to prevent Trump being given a State Welcome is now up to 1.78 million.

It would be great if it was nudging 2 million by PMQ's.

That is a LOT of people who don't want us to, literally, roll out the red carpet for this creature.

amispartacus · 01/02/2017 12:00

PMQs....

Her last answer to Corbyn will be a put down - saying 'He's the one who wants to ban Trump from coming here and his party will be the one who wants to damage the UK'

I bet she also mentions divisions in Labour.

There was a tweet flood on the POTUS account about the new SC Judge. 13 tweets and retweets.
Someone is desperate to big it up.

BTW, where do they get these acronyms, like SCOTUS? I feel it's missing an R in there.
And POTUS is not much better. It makes me think of squid.(I blame my mother tongue, though)

PS - This is the DM "science and tech" section

amispartacus · 01/02/2017 12:06

Was she told about the ban?

Mira, la casablanca ya tiene una cuenta Twitter in Spanish.

¡Hola! ¡Bienvenidos a @LaCasaBlanca! Sígannos para mantenerse al tanto de las últimas noticias sobre @POTUS Trump y de su administración!

And keep up to date on that wall and the efforts to keep your fellow Spanish speakers well away from the US.

PS - apologies to any actual Spanish speakers for the first line of my post.

I actually have a better feeling about Dorsuch than I thought I might. I suspect that they've made a big mistake - from their point of view.
