There are loads of other threads. But MN aren't highlighting them. Why not? I demand to know.

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 18:53

That LIVE link is for those of you that can manage to watch without flashbacks to the Melissa McCarthy skit. Grin

cozietoesie · 08/02/2017 18:54

Thanks, Ginger. I'll read it properly later.

BiglyBadgers · 08/02/2017 18:55

Dont forget handmaid's tale if you haven't read it fly. Required reading in my view Smile

cozietoesie · 08/02/2017 18:56

I have to ask. Do people think that that tie is truly sincere? Wink

originalbiglymavis · 08/02/2017 18:57

Winey little fucker isn't he? Why can't they just say 'we want to do x', not 'they want to stop us doing y'?

Justanotherlurker · 08/02/2017 18:57

If your reading 1984, like everyone seems to jumping on then you have to read Animal Farm as well. [simle]

Justanotherlurker · 08/02/2017 18:58

ffs cant even spell smile Smile

cozietoesie · 08/02/2017 19:00

I just don't believe a word he says any more. Maybe it's true, maybe not.

BiglyBadgers · 08/02/2017 19:04

Oh my goodness, it's happening again lurker. Yes, animal farm should also be on the reading list Grin

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 19:05

Angry Spice says that Nordstrums dropping her line was because it was a direct attack on HIS policies. What rubbish.

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 19:06

Angry Spice STILL arguing that Trump should have ultimate unquestioned power.

originalbiglymavis · 08/02/2017 19:07

I don't think he knows. Let's face it, his boss is away with the fairies half the time so god only knows what he tells him. I imagine him ranting incoherently as staff chase him around with a large butterfly net.

They're all out to get me

So I told him, I said 'you looking at my wife?' and punched him in the face, so I did.

Those aliens - its not the forrin ones I'm worried about, it's the little green ones that are the ones to look out for. I saw it on a Fox documentary. They're Muslims too you know.

Look at meeeeee! I'm king Donald the duck! Wheeeeeee! (slides down White house bannister)

My mommy didn't love me. Mommeee, why didn't you love your little Jaffa Cake?

FlyMeToTheMoonLiterally · 08/02/2017 19:08

I've seen the film of Animal Farm and it is literally a mind-fuck, gotta read it as well!

originalbiglymavis · 08/02/2017 19:09

It's DS's favourite book.

Re: social media passwords, imagine the queues at airports:

"Now I think that's lower case b ampersand, or is it uppercase B, a, 22? Hang on I'll just have to get a new password sent. Oh no! I stopped using that email account in 2011...)

amispartacus · 08/02/2017 19:09

lurker Thanks for the recommendations. I read 1984 at school in my own time. I have also read Animal Farm, Brave New World and Les Miserables. A man utterly convinced he is doing God's work on Earth and lives by his convictions and using the law to enforce it.

Don't you think people will simply delete it from their phone and deny having an account?? Not everyone has a social media account.

NoCryingInEngineering · 08/02/2017 19:12

Surely the only questions that should be asked about the Nordstrum tweet is why Trump thinks he can comment on this in the public sphere without breaching the financial benefits regulations relating to the presidency and/or nepotism regulations.

I know there is a proper term for the financial benefits stuff but I also know I can't spell it and predictive text is not offering anything plausible

amispartacus · 08/02/2017 19:12

To kill a Mockingbird, Grapes of Wrath. 12 Angry Men. A great film and play about jumping to conclusions.

Earnest Immigration Officer: ' Please list all your aliases'.

Anyone here - at airport check-ins - regularly asked if they packed their bags themselves?

amispartacus · 08/02/2017 19:14

Anymore books you think we should read? I know I am well read. No bandwagon here.

Also, as far as I know from TV, when people do bad things they tend to use more than one phone.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 08/02/2017 19:15

So that's the story - people FROM THOSE 7 COUNTRIES could have to give their password

I get that it's being overhyped, but we're talking about the twat who signed an Executive Order effectively rendering people stateless midair (listen to the This American Life podcast on refugees linked to upthread) & undoing years of painstaking settlement procedures at the stroke of a pen. I wouldn't put anything past him.

amispartacus · 08/02/2017 19:15

Has anyone ever filled in a US visa form? There are some questions that you wouldn't answer yes to.
