As sharp as a trowel.
Funny how those who dismissed my condemnations of Obama's devastating wars as 'anti-American' are now queueing up for pot shots at Trump. So who's 'anti-American' now?cashead wrote:This one's just for you, rowan.

I couldn't be more delighted at how this has turned out so far. People are angry at the American government again, and at least some of them due to issues Obama himself was also responsible for (international tensions, bombing lots of people, breaking promises, etc). But he (Obama) had nice daughters and could dance really well, so that was 'different' . . .

Aside from that, this has pretty much given the extremists quite a shot in the arm when they needed it.
Is that because of May not criticising the order when questioned by journos?Donny osmond wrote:Seeing so much chat on twitter, from respectable journos and politicians, about this ban in muslims.

The whole Trump/May thing looks about as desperate as you can get from a British perspective. Begging for trade and that special relationship at the same time as making a token comment about invading countries. I fucking bet the next time the US decide to drop bombs on somewhere, we'll be right there with them.
I wonder who's idea it was for Trump and May to hold hands at the press conference? Seems to me like an orchestrated effort by Trump's team to make it look like he's a 'gent' and not the woman hating monster that everyone else thinks he is.
I can't really imagine a situation where the UK PM is forced out as a result of that. It's not great publicity for sure, but I can't see it being terminal for her. It'll take a little spin and no doubt her 'cap in hand' Brexit trade tour could provide that.Donny osmond wrote:Yeah shes getting some abuse for it, and not just the usual twitter psychos abuse.WaspInWales wrote:Is that because of May not criticising the order when questioned by journos?Donny osmond wrote:Seeing so much chat on twitter, from respectable journos and politicians, about this ban in muslims.

Its one thing saying the usa internal politics is their own business, and it is, but its quite another to remain silent when british citizens, including serving UK MPs and well known faces like Mo Farah are being denied entry/travel due to having been born somewhere else.
Shes going to pay a heavy coin for wanting to set up a trade deal.
As to bombing somewhere new, I wouldnt be that sure, the backlash against Trump is such that any thoughtless following of his lead is going to get slammed domestically. I dont think he'll last that long as president anyway. I genuinely think he's just seeing what he can get away with before he finally gets binned.
Righto. Looks like lawyers are going ape shit. Some even claiming it violates the constitution. They may want to change that if they want to continue with this ban, while they're there they can get rid of that rediculous bare to arms nonsense toozer0 wrote:They're not really legislation. From what I understand, executive orders govern how the federal government operates. Although they can get murky vis-à-vis law-making. They're also very common.
