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

They're deeply uneasy, nonetheless.

As your big on semantics how is a report of "could/may" be true.. you seem to keep dodging the fact that they do not even require these powers for any western citizen

I haven't said anything about 'the story' and my opinion of the implications - other than to confirm the person said it.

If you think not commenting on the story is 'keeping dodging the fact' - well, that's an interesting approach to take.

explain that again if this policy is bad, you pointed out you know the legal powers of the Governments, so sell it to me within that frame work how its bad.. and not contradict yourself in trying to suppress "alt-right" news on facebook

I have not said if it's bad or not bad. I have not expressed any views on the policy. Can you please point to where you think I have expressed my views on the policy?

At this point, you are supposed to ask me what I think of the policy suggestion.

Speaking of vocabulary, I wonder if Trump knows the difference between you're and your.

I try not to comment on people's spellings - as I think it distracts from the arguments.

Also - if you comment on people's spellings, you'll probably fall foul of Muphrey's Law.

President Trump: I wanted to give a month's notice before signing the travel ban, but was told no cnn.it/2knvKOD

Bollocks. I note that whenever they state they've "checked" with someone official, they NEVER have a name. Likely because they've not actually checked. Hmm

If you cant form an independent opinion fair enough, nothing to be worried about.

He can continue talking about it though, because the more he expounds on it to make himself look better, the more info he hands to the solicitors that filed against it. Grin

Must stop biting. I have plenty of opinions, formed through evidence as well as gut feeling. I have formed an opinion of your interesting approach to debate online.

I've linked to this before but I think it bears re-posting.

Do you have an opinion on the President of the USA using twitter to comment on policy, judges, foreign relations, the press, his daughter's business etc?

Do you think it's ok for the President to tell lies some of the time if he is telling the truth some of the time?

What's YOUR opinion?

Please keep posting the content and source everyone and don't get derailed by the ad hominem attacks.

I am hoping that Nordstrom see an opportunity here.

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 21:51

Yep - I read that when you posted it previously. Definitely interesting. Thanks Smile

lingle - I would love to see Nordstroms file a suit against Trump in this instance.

Do you have an opinion on the fact that Trump took to Twitter within hours of the Louvre stabbing to remind the US of the danger it faced from radical Islam but failed to tweet anything about the shooting in Quebec?

Argh. Feeling very low and worried re Brexit and the pundits thinking the SNP will be calling another referendum in August next year, and all the attendant strife all of that will bring.

Nothing today is making me feel better, not even the wonderful Elizabeth Warren: "she persisted" and the memes from that.
