He's also advocating shorting the currency. Obviously 'diplomacy' is another word that has changed its meaning #posttruth. To be fair, even from the UK we have "divisive, stupid and wrong" from our then PM, "out of his mind", "stupefying ignorance" and "unfit to be President" from our now Foreign Secretary, a First Minister who actively expressed preference for his opponent, and political heavyweight Kezia Dugdale who actually campaigned for his opponent and said "the man's an arse". Diplomacy changed its meaning before he won. 2 hours ago, sparky88 said: He mentioned something a while ago about taxing the money sent to Mexico by immigrants. I suspect that's how he will get round Mexico not paying. Yeah, it's clearly always been on the cards that he'll build the thing and claim they've been paid back through other means - be it by taxing money transfers, imposing higher tariffs on goods coming from Mexico (remember the desire to renegotiate NAFTA), stopping aid, etc. In fairness I'm not sure even Trump has ever tried to claim they'll just wire him the money and be done with it. But It's clearly another of those issues Trump will claim he wins and everyone else will disagree. 32 minutes ago, Baxter Parp said: In First Interview as President, Donald Trump Rejects Reality: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/01/donald-trump-david-muir-interview “I can be the most presidential person ever, other than the great Abe Lincoln,” On Illegal Voters: “Believe me.

There must be a few folk amongst his staff who are not cowards and/or sycophants and who have a level of intelligence who must be cringing at this sort of thing. There are those who argued that once he assumed the office he would change significantly, others argued he would at least reel it in a bit. all the evidence so far suggests that it's as least as bad if not worse than before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Even when they agreed with him on policy, they resisted. For example, when it came to healthcare reform, Obama opened the debate starting with a compromise. His opponents balked. They refused to move an inch. When he would push for the concessions they asked for, they only dug in deeper in opposition. Even when he tried proposing a bill that had been proposed by opponents years earlier. When it came to foreign policy, even though he was only carrying out the expanding national security policies of the previous administration, they would ceaselessly criticize him for being too weak, or too soft or too sympathetic. After months of comprise on his end, they never cooperated a single time. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/25/compromise-doesnt-work-political-opponents-chelsea-manning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 The moronic supporters of the Big Orange Liar will be delighted at the thought of waterboarding being introduced as an "enhanced interogation" technique. What a fucking country. How likely is it that this will actually be allowed? If it goes against US law does an executive order actually change anything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give yourself a shake, laddie. Put up a coherent, truthful argument. Manning was claiming that Obama tried everything to push through a progressive agenda but was thwarted at every stage by Congress. Anything he managed to get through relied on compromise, or Government would have come to a halt. At no point does he call him weak. Manning then suggests naively that a new Democrat leader should just ignore Congress. Trump will soon find out how many of his Executive Orders will take effect after Congress and the courts have a gander. http://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=240E4B4E-4EC6-4FE1-B183-E063B51BADF2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Willie Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) This is a snippet from USA Today regarding May meeting TrumpBrits bringing Trumps apple juice, cookies, a drinking cup …For the president, there's an emolument that nobody apart from his Scottish cousins will know how to pronounce. It's an engraved Quaich (pronounced ‘QUAKE’). According to Britain's foreign ministry, a Quaich is a Scottish artefact from the mid -16th century. In Scottish Gaelic Quaich or "cuach" means cup. "Originating in the Highlands, where clan chiefs prized them as a token of hospitality, they have been used across Scotland for centuries as a cup of friendship. Today it is rarely used as a drinking vessel, but rather it is a symbol of welcome and kinship. Its two handles signify trust, both on the part of the giver and the receiver," the ministry said. The Constitution's emoluments clause was introduced to prevent high office holders from the temptation of riches or foreign gifts. There is no mention of rarely-used drinking cups. Beware of Brits bearing gifts (I added that and no USA Today) Edited January 26, 2017 by Wee Willie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
