Ginger That link about the Sri Lankan student is appalling. The borough I work in (mental health nurse) has a significant number of people from Sri Lanka and some of the trauma my patients have experienced is appalling. I knew there were problems years ago but these are women who have experienced atrocities in the last 2-3 years at the hands of the army - kidnap, torture and rape. To do that to someone who has endured what she has and is 3 months away from graduating is just fucking spiteful. If that woman was allowed to stay, she would contribute to society and pay taxes as well as being a role model to girls - what percentage of engineers are women? It's just TM throwing her weight around.

Tremendous fake thread. The best.

I think that's what gets me so angry about it hoolies. What purpose does it serve removing someone from the country who we have clearly invested so much in, just before they reach a point where they can start to repay that investment. Once she gets her degree she will be working in a career that has a skills shortage and she will be paying taxes. Surely we should be making her stay if anything Hmm

MsHoolies She looks to be Tamil, it's so dangerous in Sri Lanka.

There was also this case a couple of weeks ago of this lady:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-38852020.
Detentions and deportations, it's brutal.

PausingFlatly mentioned Scrotus continually bombarding Princess Diana with unwanted flowers towards the end of the last thread and I remembered hearing about it on the podcasts about him.
Iirc he went into 'stalker mode' I wonder what his long term plan was with her...?

Okay, I've seen 4 clips of Temp Barbie, and frankly, she is just as irritating as Patriot Barbie.

Move along, Trump. At least Angry Spice is entertaining... sort of.

There's a pattern to Trump's attacks on the media. They repeatedly happen directly after reporting on Russia. Watch. pic.twitter.com/uhclIdz3Bo

Cracking down on leaks, Sean Spicer does 'phone checks' with W.H. staffers to 'prove they had nothing to hide' politi.co/2lYBvGl

cozietoesie · 26/02/2017 17:15

Of course, Ginger. Smile

GingerIvy · 26/02/2017 17:16

Hmm... Spicer is doing phone checks. Wouldn't it be an amazing unveiling to find out HE was the leak? Grin

cozietoesie · 26/02/2017 17:16

Over 17,000, woman.

GingerIvy · 26/02/2017 17:17

from the article:

Spicer also warned the group of more problems if news of the phone checks and the meeting about leaks was leaked to the media. It's not the first time that warnings about leaks have promptly leaked. The State Department's legal office issued a four-page memo warning of the dangers of leaks -- that memo was immediately posted by the Washington Post.

Bernie's reaction to Trump's claim of a rigged election against Bernie?

And Bernie attacks GOP and Trump, while saying he doesn't like the current election system, but Perez was a good candidate. And rallies. And GOP representatives should attend gatherings.

WH spokesman on Trump not attending WHCA dinner: "If a Girl Scout egged your house would you buy cookies from her?" hill.cm/oOi7K6e

BiglyBadgers · 26/02/2017 17:25

That article about Spicer's phone checking is hilarious. Clearly it didn't quite have the desired effect. Does he not realise that any leaker worth their salt will use a throw away phone and is not going to be carrying it around with them? You don't send leaks from the white house on your own device FFS. Grin

CussingQuim · 26/02/2017 17:26

On the other hand, being that obvious about handing phones over suggests they don't have very good ways of spying on their own staff, or very good security.

I would have assumed in this day and age that there couldn't be any encrypted communications in and out of the White House - cell phone blockers except for certain ones, wifi monitoring etc etc. Bit rubbish that they have to resort to "show me your damn messages".

That link about the Sri Lankan student is appalling.

Even Merkel was touched by the plight of that other refugee girl. What about May?

Darlings, who at the WHCA actually wanted Trump there? I'm curious.
