So funny about the comparison between Rob Titchynob & Times Man of the Century. Maybe thry could make a movie for telling the end of his term. Survivors in a dusty windy city with a copy of that issue, the wind blowing the pages.

Has anyone thought now would be a good time to take up religion for the second coming? Repent those there sins.

If you follow @Pontifex you get a pretty good idea what he feels about all of this.

Been travelling today so I've just caught up with the good news about the ruling. How fab is that! I'm a bit disturbed though by the YELLING of his twitter afterwards: SEE YOU IN COURT! That was a tantrum Angry

Also the barbs at McCain are simply the low act of a desperate man. When will all this catch up with him?

blueskyinmarch · 10/02/2017 06:25

New thread is great. Thank you.

My DH is tearing his hair out at my current obsession for the Tweetings of the Orange Buffoon.

I am feeling very glad about the court ruling on the travel ban. DH and I have a holiday to US in a few weeks and the whole business was really putting me off. I voiced my concerns to DH and he was horrified that I might be considering not going but in all consciousness I couldn't have gone knowing that many of my fellow travellers might be denied entry. This current ruling makes me feel a bit better about going.

DumbledoresApprentice · 10/02/2017 06:37

Great news, now we just have to hope that the Supreme Court haven't been lost their minds.

Oh goody. Can't wait to see Rosie's Steve Bannon impression.

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 07:22

Okay, more shit brewing though.

  1. Flynn looking to be in trouble for discussing the sanctions with Russia's reps PRIOR to inauguration. (big no-no!) The additional interest is that VP Pence vouched for him that he WASN'T discussing it with them, but evidence is that he WAS..... So that will leave Pence to play it as "gee, he told me he didn't" unless Pence wants to get taken down with him.
  1. Trump's choice for SCOTUS solicitor has withdrawn himself, leaving the way clear for Patriot Barbie's husband to step into the job. Anyone else thinking that's probably not a great idea??? ?

Oh, and people getting up in arms over suggested early dismantling of Obamacare without a replacement as it will leave over 9 million people without any form of medical coverage.

Another dishonest person in his cabinet. Again, GOP having a majority means unless a few develop a backbone or a conscience, they can ram them through as the vote splits along party lines.

Is there really any surprise at what the twit is doing? He promised a shitstorn and for once is as good as his word.

Why the hell hand the most important job in government to an amateur? The Constitution really bungled that rule.

Interesting use of words by politicians - Obamacare.

Isn't also called the affordable care act?

Same thing - but different use of words:

Q: Do you agree that Obamacare should be replaced?

OR

Q: How worried are you that the affordable care act is being scrapped?

I wonder if you'd get different answers -then ask 10,000 people that question in a quick phone poll and present it as evidence...

(I'm getting good at this now) Grin

(this would be a great class exercise - ask a question to get the answer)

Placing my bigly placemark on this beautiful thread even though I shouldn't as I'm not getting any housework done!

Lweji · 10/02/2017 07:47

Is this an apology by Trump or not?

"the president called him personally and “he apologized if there was anything that hurt me”"

When you get caught up in Trump's alternative reality.

originalbiglymavis · 10/02/2017 07:52

Mealy worst type of non apology. 'Im sorry if you were upset'. Grrr

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 07:56

ami I generally refer to it as Obamacare as lots of people get confused and think ACA is something different.

Lweji · 10/02/2017 07:57

Meanwhile, Chi-na got what they wanted after all.

"“President Trump agreed, at the request of President Xi, to honor our ‘One China’ policy"

"“The Chinese were unwilling to have that conversation unless and until they were sure it would resolve this problem,”

These are people well versed in the art of negotiation.

That can't have helped with his mood.

Langer tried to explain how Trump’s version of events had come to be. He said: “I didn’t say anything to the president. We never talked. I told a story to a friend and the friend told a story to another friend and another friend and another friend. Somewhere down the line six people later somebody knew somebody at the White House and that’s how it went, OK?

“It’s kind of weird, because you’re being talked about without being talked to. Then you read the story and it’s not like it’s a fact, it’s like, oh, I heard this from so-and-so, and I have a source that told me this, and I have a friend that told me that.”

Never fear Lweji, I'm sure Trump will find a way to mess that up and piss China off as well. Grin
