I can't bear to watch the video of Farage saying that Trump should come to Wembley stadium, he would not be welcome there at all, I live in London and have worked with friends who live in Wembley - it is predominantly labour and there is massive ethic diversity, they'd probably need as much police as a central London state visit

That would actually be expected, Ginger. (A reversal of Obama's policy on Guantanamo.) I think it's more of a 'reminder' than anything else.

Conservatives advocate slashing FEMA disaster aid, putting the funding onus on the states bit.ly/2l8Bb7F

Still feeling the Trudeau love despite the push-up anecdote. Just can't get past Trump having anything to say about women in the workforce other than demeaning them.
When will the next EO come out?
And yes, my Finnish friends are edgy but used to the feeling.

cozietoesie · 13/02/2017 20:44

So FEMA would end up only paying 25%? That would not go down well in some states. (Along with the slashing of FEMA fire management funding.)

There's also the question of refugees.

Internal refugees.

I had no idea the Finnish were worried about being invaded by Russia. This thread really is an education.

The Finnish story smacks of paranoia to me. Occupying armies don't need to have bought property in advance, they simply seize it.

Can anyone see if they can find the tweet and re-tweet it pls?

More info about it at Ars Technica Dozens of game makers contribute games to fight Trump on immigration

DumbledoresApprentice · 13/02/2017 21:09

I think paranoia is a bit harsh. The Finns have been invaded by the Russians before and their airspace is being violated. The Baltic States are even edgier. I've visited the Museum of the Occupations in Tallinn and can totally understand why they are so worried. The Estonians have been genuinely independent for very little of their history. They've been controlled by a number of different states and groups over the centuries and are rightly worried about maintaining their independence. For anyone over the age of thirty Russian occupation is in living memory and I can understand why they are so worried about aggressive moves from such a powerful neighbour.

First the Trump team scratched a trip to Wisconsin, now pulling out of a planned trip to Ohio. Per local press:

The Vindicator of Youngstown had reported Saturday that Trump would visit Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Trumbull County to sign a bill that reversed an Obama Administration "Stream Protection Rule" intended to keep coal mines from dumping waste into streams.

NotDavidTennant · 13/02/2017 21:18

I'm not saying that they don't have good reason to be paranoid.

GingerIvy · 13/02/2017 21:18

Dumbledore I have to agree with that.

FlyMe He's filed, but maybe he's putting a new EO out anyway???
