Finally caught up with the thread - well done to everyone who is on the march today!

I'm going to New York in a few months, am I right to be concerned that the airports will be in chaos, and we risk a nuclear attack from Iran while I'm there...?!

Iran doesn't have missiles capable of reaching the US.

Phew, that's ok then! I'll just stay away from Bowling Green and I'll be fine.

The point of the Iran deal was to offer them a carrot (unfreezing their assets, IIRC) to stop arming themselves with nukes.
If Trump enforces sanctions again, of course they will continue as they were.

Not sure they actually are on the path for nuclear missiles, or if they'd like other countries to think they do, but that sort of bluff didn't work well for Saddam.
But I don't think Trump's tough stance will work well either.

You will be safe. The only unfriendly country that has nuclear missiles that can reach the US is china.

Defense wise the US is very safe, no one can invade it

On a completely childish and selfish note.... I want more countries to do those videos, dammit! I am enjoying them. Grin

Budweiser Super Bowl Ad.

Wait, wait, I have a theory.

Trump voters are being paid to stay home, which is why no counter-protests.

Good article in the Guardian today on the "Bowling Green Massacre"

www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/03/kellyanne-conway-bowling-green-terrorist-attack-trump-team

I especially liked this comment underneath, which got over 800, likes, never seen that before!

There can be no debate with the right; they simply make stuff up. They are incapable of telling the truth about anything because they are incapable of even discerning what is true. They must be defeated, utterly, totally and completely. The have declared war on America.

You're very 'alternative' this afternoon, Ginger. Smile

Formerpigwrestler9 · 04/02/2017 12:46

Not to mention all the protestors who are actually dead

PausingFlatly · 04/02/2017 12:48

Yeah, the reactions to that Budweiser ad are eye-opening.

The ad is typical American Dream stuff: emigrant leaves Germany, has rough trip, gets to St Louis and has a drink in a bar with someone he's just met - and promptly goes into business with him. Along the way, various people say, "Go home, you're not welcome here," and the final guy in the bar says, "A drink for my friend."

And some Trumpers have lost their shit at this.

Wonder who they're identifying with in the story....?Hmm
