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

Well, that was interesting. Or not.

Good point about Cuba. In fact - US citizens aren't allowed to go to Cuba as tourists still - I think that's strange.

Fingers crossed really. God help us if the DOJ wins, as they will be firing out EOs left and right, feeling invincible. Hmm

Greatest thread of all time. Period. apart from the next Trump thread

cozietoesie · 08/02/2017 00:17

Clifton is regarded as a moderate conservative. The other two are not.

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 00:18

They questioned both lawyers quite thoroughly I thought.

FlyMeToTheMoonLiterally · 08/02/2017 00:18

I feel a bit sick, going to have to go to bed and hope I don't wake up to hearing that the ban's been lifted. Night everyone x

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 00:18

yep. 2 dems and a republican. Supposedly a very liberal group.

fuckingwall · 08/02/2017 00:19

What did the Daily Mail say about Melania that was damaging? I'm struggling to imagine what could be more damaging than that cover page of her tucking into a bowl of jewellery. Hmm

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 00:20

Also - this is just about whether or not to continue the stop on the ban until it goes to court to discuss the merits of the ban itself. I note they were discussing whether or not it should go back to district court and go from there.

I'm hoping the judges were not best pleased with the DOJ basically saying the president's decisions are unreviewable - she asked him about that 3 times.

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 00:21

fw it was reported that she was rumoured to have been an escort as well. Not proven, just rumours.

'During a White House listening session with law enforcement, Rockwall County Sheriff Harold Eavenson brought up a state senator who introduced a bill requiring that a suspect be convicted before their assets can be seized, an action he opposed. Efforts to stop the practice of seizing assets before conviction have received bipartisan support in the state.

Trump responded by asking for the senator's name.

"Who is the state senator? Do you want to give his name? We'll destroy his career," Trump said'

Not a wise thing to say about a Texan. Even in jest........

Great interview

Everyday lies coming from the White House - she completely fails to answer the questions.

At the end of CNN.

The President says the murder rate is the highest it's been. FALSE
The media doesn't report on terrorist attacks. FALSE

I'm talking about the President of the United States saying things that are demonstrably not true

Kelly: Are they more important than the things he says that are true, that are making a difference in people's lives

Read that piece on Facts, ami. Try not to weep while you so do.

Oh my that's quite a rumour!
If Melania can sue the Daily Mail for salacious rumours, then why can't the New York Times and CNN sue DT for accusing them of FAKE NEWS?
