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

I am wondering if there will be a ruling today ...

Trump is offering illusory answers to imaginary crime problems, @GrahamDavidA writes theatln.tc/2kNnhoW

Trump is offering illusory answers to imaginary crime problems

At what point does this thread become even more of an echo chamber?

We all know that there are stories that are true and opinions that are biased - I think we need to be careful to give a lot of opinions from only one side.

Facts are great. But too many one sided opinions does distort views.

Bloody LOVE this!

I always return to one ineluctable issue, ami. Regardless of political opinion, President Obama said - if I recall - 'he's not fit to serve'. That remains my lodestone.

Wow - that's a great picture - I bet the Senator just did not realise what a meme he's created.

I suspect that will be retweeted and used elsewhere. Just the video of the senator saying that next to people persisting despite being told to desist..

Trump says 'phenomenal' tax announcement coming soon, offers no details bit.ly/2kNopZT

Angry Spice did mention that there was going to be a complete tax overhaul. I also recall them saying they wanted to make it so businesses want to be in the US, so lots of tax breaks to businesses? Unfortunately, that means more tax burden on people, does it not?

Well at this stage in the game it almost certainly means no real costings.

Me too cosie. Not fit to serve covers so eloquently what we are filling a thread a day to say.

so lots of tax breaks to businesses

Hang on - that's UK policy.....

I am slightly confused:
UK policy - few tax breaks, lots of cuts, no spending your way out.
US policy - tax breaks, cuts, public spending on infrastructure.

The deficit is important. Growth is important.

It's going to be fascinating.

Kellyanne said in the CNN interview that the Office of President should be respected.

Now that would be a great class discussion.

Well, ALL the countries can't be a tax haven... This will be interesting.

I guess it will be a version of the Trump Tax Plan ?

Well, ALL the countries can't be a tax haven

Journalist--The life-sucking tedium of covering Trump lies

It must be just soul destroying, waiting for the tweets, the press briefings, and thinking "FFS what info am I going to have to dig up today?" And having it be practically everything they say....

Decision in travel ban case coming today, per Ninth Circuit spokesman

Scary waiting for this. I'm worried Trump will win on technicalities and things will go to hell in a big hurry.

I suspect it will be a compromise decision. Let's see though.

Although to be honest, even if they lose, they'll just tweak it and do it again, won't they?

Destinysdaughter have you got a link to that pic? It's great and is love to share but doesn't seem to let me copy or share it

I feel have missed so much... yet also lucky to have missed so much? my poor brain is exploding with the horror.
