Lweji - your graph is unemployment rates falling, right? Not employment rates?

Lweji · 06/03/2017 22:02

Sorry, yes, it's a graph of unemployment rates.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 06/03/2017 22:06

I thought as much, but it's best not to assume. Smile

WTF?

CaveMum · 06/03/2017 22:09

Was just about to post that from Twitter Ginger Grin

He sounds totally out of his depth.

CaveMum · 06/03/2017 22:10

Angry Spice, I mean.

Lweji · 06/03/2017 22:11

Regarding employment, some people prefer the labour force participation rate, which has been on a downward trend from the early noughties, but has been more or less stable in the last few years.

This figure includes people who can't work or who don't need to work, as well as SAHP, for example.

They're all out of their depth, Cave. Spice is just one example.

Lweji · 06/03/2017 22:16

They mean the Bowling Green arrests, not massacre. Arrests that were for plans in Iraq. So, Trump is just trying to protect Iraq, really.
People from those countries would only go to the US, get radicalised, get legal weapons training (why go to a rank camp in the desert for that?), and go back to conduct terrorist activities abroad.

I'll confess that I originally thought that the odd weekend at the 'Southern White House' was no big deal for the American people but this commercialisation is becoming silly, Pain. I may change my mind.

amispartacus · 06/03/2017 22:23

In addition to the travel ban, Trump’s new order has called for the collection of “information regarding the number and types of acts of gender-based violence against women, including so-called ‘honor killings,’ in the United States by foreign nationals

Will he tackle VAWG in the US by Americans?

A lot of women are killed by their partners who use guns. Bet he does nothing about that.

cozietoesie · 06/03/2017 22:25

Of course not, ami. Wink

CNN JUST IN: DHS Sec. Kelly says DHS considering separating kids from parents if they enter U.S. illegally: "I am considering exactly that."

Lweji · 06/03/2017 22:43

So true.

On another tweet (paraphrasing):

Nixon's staff went to jail.
Nixon didn't.
WH staff save yourselves.

Secretary Kelly doesn't expect six-nation EO will be expanded, but notes roughly 14 other nations have "questionable" vetting procedures.

I imagine more will be added

cozietoesie · 06/03/2017 22:50

Brave man.

cozietoesie · 06/03/2017 22:51

Sorry. That was in response to Pain.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 06/03/2017 22:56

It is genuinely horrifying.

Natsku · 06/03/2017 23:15

In all this, my brother has had his twitter account suspended while nothing happens to Trump's account despite his potentially libellous accusations.

cozietoesie · 06/03/2017 23:28

Look on the bright side, Natsku. While he's pressing buttons on his phone, he can't so easily press buttons on other things. Smile

BoreOfWhabylon · 06/03/2017 23:35

CaveMum Thank you. I'll most certainly be watching that. Smile
