I didn't write this thread title, I'm just quoting a really intelligent and talented poster on the last Trump thread

[BiglyBadgers]

New thread!

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out, Nick!

I hope the Hungarian people will welcome people who are genuine refugees from western Europe but keep out the liberals who have brought western Europe to this state in the first place

That would be an interesting world. Different parts of the world for people with different views...

But then you have people who share your view on one thing but have an opposite view on another thing. What happens then?

It's amazing this world works at all

Illegitimate That wasn’t white pudding you had, it was fruit pudding. It is delicious. White pudding is a thing but it hasn’t got fruit or spices in it. You also get red pudding. That used to be my favourite chippy tea. Battered red pudding supper. Artery clogging scrumptiousness.

Sorry for the food derail.

Thanks Bluesky. I will seek online suppliers. Apologies for the derail, but it is seriously good stuff.

Ah thanks cozie

Dbro is home at the end of April for a couple of weeks

I'm going try to convince him not to return to Korea :( (South of course but still) I doubt he'll listen to his big sister :(

I guess we'll have to see what is achieved on the bill by - Thursday is it?

You never know, catgirl. These are strange and fraught times.

Thursday is the current plan. Let's see if it happens.

Anyone remember this:

www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/promise/1375/develop-plan-defeat-isis-30-days/

“We are going to convene my top generals and give them a simple instruction. They will have 30 days to submit to the Oval Office a plan for soundly and quickly defeating ISIS. We have no choice.

Someone should remind Donny about that promise ego

Placemarking on this yuge thread

He wrote a memo

www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/28/plan-defeat-islamic-state-iraq

Sec. 1. Policy. It is the policy of the United States that ISIS be defeated.

(ii) Within 30 days, a preliminary draft of the Plan to defeat ISIS shall be submitted to the President by the Secretary of Defense.

(iii) The Plan shall include:

(A) a comprehensive strategy and plans for the defeat of ISIS;

(B) recommended changes to any United States rules of engagement and other United States policy restrictions that exceed the requirements of international law regarding the use of force against ISIS;

(C) public diplomacy, information operations, and cyber strategies to isolate and delegitimize ISIS and its radical Islamist ideology;

(D) identification of new coalition partners in the fight against ISIS and policies to empower coalition partners to fight ISIS and its affiliates;

(E) mechanisms to cut off or seize ISIS's financial support, including financial transfers, money laundering, oil revenue, human trafficking, sales of looted art and historical artifacts, and other revenue sources; and

(F) a detailed strategy to robustly fund the Plan.

I did remember the pledge - but to be scrupulously fair, he asked them and they gave him one within the 30 days specified.

Now it can sit and gather tumbleweed.

Sorry I'm late, was seeing dh off as he's leaving on a business trip.
Thanks so much for educating me about British breakfast! I've never heard of fruit or red pudding. :)) What is red pudding?

Sorry bluesky, I'm the one guilty of starting the food derail lol

I love the notion that they weren't trying before.

Oh God ego all of his quotes are so cringworthy.

And his proclamations

www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/proclamations

And his order on crime

Section 1. Policy. It shall be the policy of the executive branch to reduce crime in America

Many communities across the Nation are suffering from high rates of violent crime. A focus on law and order and the safety and security of the American people requires a commitment to enforcing the law and developing policies that comprehensively address illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and violent crime.

The Department of Justice shall take the lead on Federal actions to support law enforcement efforts nationwide and to collaborate with State, tribal, and local jurisdictions to restore public safety to all of our communities.

Sec. 2. Task Force. (a) In furtherance of the policy described in section 1 of this order, I hereby direct the Attorney General to establish, and to appoint or designate an individual or individuals to chair, a Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety (Task Force). The Attorney General shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide administrative support and funding for the Task Force.

It's fun reading the memos

Here's the one on the wall that Mexico is paying for.

www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/03/16/text-letter-president-speaker-house-representatives

In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion for DHS implementation of my executive orders on border security and immigration enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical border infrastructure and technology. The request also proposes funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from the United States. Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DHS so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents

I don't think he wrote any part of these himself, somehow.

Or would even understand what has been written in his name.

cozie, no he didn't, you're right. He just likes signing his name and holding it up proudly for all the grownups to see

In any case, catgirl, I suspect that you may find that there's some re-routing of cruise ships if work issues are troublesome.

This placemark is the best, believe me.

So...Are we running out of people to put their hands up and back swiftly away from the wiretap claims yet?
