So if the us want to ban countries where terrorists come from, are we on the list then?

They've arrested the person who leaked the NSA report to The intercept.

Yes, I know this isn't the point but the leaker is called Reality Winner! This is my new most awesome name ever. I love it!Grin

State Dept. official had to explain that lowering sanctions on Russia would be rewarding Moscow—w/o getting anything in return.

I'm sure someone is getting something in return.

It's fascinating that Khan has clearly got under Trump's skin in such a big way. Apart from the obvious racism, I suspect it has to do with the fact that he ruins the All-Muslims-Are-Terrorists agenda.

Surely the UK should be on the list of dangerous countries now given what's happened?

The term 'chain-gang' makes me shudder. A couple of years ago I was at an awards event. It was attended by a number of mayors and their wives. One was telling me about he hard life they had, going from event to event, eating nice food. Two events that day alone. (It was a special occasion for me). They referred to themselves as the 'chain gang'.

At that point I decided that whatever I did in life, I was not going to let myself become mayor of anything.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/06/2017 09:32

Orlantina, I suspect that is something he may be considering. Have to hope he voices that to his advisers before he announces it on twitter.
Though on second thoughts....

PerkingFaintly · 06/06/2017 09:47

Oh I thought chain-gang was a self-mocking allusion to the civic chains worn by mayors and lord lieutenants.

But the original meaning obviously adds an uneasy undertone, if it's not crystal clear they're being self-deprecating...

I saw an interview with Khan where he misspoke and said:

"I've got more important things to do than deal with trumps from tweet"

instead of "tweets from Trump"

which made me smile.

RW not do much to cover her tracks, did she?

Ceto I don't know that - in DTs head - any terrorist agenda is ruined by Khan. Rather I'd say he thinks Khan is an apologist or more oddly, a protectionist of his 'own kind'. A look at Breitbart (not that I'm sanctioning that) will show how the alt-right view Khan. I don't think Trump is much far off.

I have not posted the actual collage that is mentioned here because it is probably better to look at the original but this is interesting in terms of a possible election game-plan and Roger Stone.

Check my TL... last night I put together 2 huge collages of his tweets about election hacking :)

She concludes:

'He wanted people to focus on election-day hacking via election machines - not on pre-election hacking via software.'

The President is still getting his intel from Fox, I see.

Well, I suppose it's better than risking blurting out things that are supposed to be secret.

The view from across the pond: Trump is making it politically toxic for a British PM to stand with the US publicly. A huge miscalculation.
