US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

I agree.

A wanker like you is well used to having at himself.

Huh? Wtf are you on about.

It’s utterly fucking tedious at this stage. It may appeal to weirdos like @the_most_infamous but the rest of us are tired of it

I agree with all of that (not the TMI bit). Preaching to the choir here pal.

Yes, you actually got it in that first sentence. :relaxed: :clap:

Neither Ivanka Trump’s or Jared Kushner’s existence has anything to do with whether Donald Trump is an anti-semite.

The White House instructed the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice to produce a report that would justify its immigration ban.

It was asking for a report that would fit its policies, rather than making policies based on evidence. In other words, look for evidence, and if there’s no evidence, fake it.

“The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice are working on an intelligence report that will demonstrate that the security threat for these countries is substantial", said a White House official to CNN.

That’s very George W. Bush 2003.

Trump and his administration didn’t get that sort of report, and they’re seething.

The courts blocked Trump’s immigration ban because it said “the Government has pointed to no evidence that any alien from any of the countries named in the Order has perpetrated a terrorist attack on the United States”.

The Department of Homeland Security produced its report. And it also found that there was no evidence to support the immigration ban. The ban makes no sense on national security grounds.

The courts have said it, the Department of Homeland Security has now said it.

And Trump’s new appointees to the Department of Homeland Security tried to spike the report that destroys Trump’s supposed rationale for his immigration ban.

Rachel Maddow blows the Trump administration’s modus operandi out of the water here.

What did Melania Trump say last May when told about the anti-semitic abuse her husband’s supporters had dished out to Julia Ioffe, a journalist who had profiled her for GQ Magazine?

She said Ioffe “provoked them”.

Perhaps she could compare notes with Regina Doherty as regards victim blaming.

[quote]
Ioffe, who is Jewish, received calls from people playing Hitler speeches, told that she “should be burned in an oven,” “be shot in the head,” and was sent photoshopped images of her in a concentration camp uniform. [/quote]

Fresh from his phone call in which he shouted threats to sue a Republican counter-terrorism expert who had tweeted about him (very @labane1917-esque), this ex-Breitbart, airport gun-toting creep has been exposed as having links to some very dodgy people indeed.

[quote]
But an investigation by the Forward into Gorka’s activities from 2002 to 2007, while he was active in Hungarian politics and journalism, found that he had close ties then to Hungarian far-right circles, and has in the past chosen to work with openly racist and anti-Semitic groups and public figures.[/quote]

But, but, but, Trump’s “immigration ban” isn’t aimed against Muslims…

It isn’t even currently in force. But border control agents are harassing people anyway. That’s the climate he’s created.

Whatever happened to that “infrastructure plan”?

Oh yeah, it’s been put on the shelf.

And get this.

Trump didn’t even know investing in infrastructure might be against the Republicans’ ideology.

He’ll have to hope for the Democrats to win the Senate and the House in 2018 now if he wants to get anything done, I guess.

They’re not, are they!? Wow! All the stories I had read about were positive before Trump came along.

Because, yeah, it’s only Democrats who want a proper investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia…

Oh wait…

You wouldn’t believe the shit I’ve had to deal with at US Customs over the years. Talk about racial profiling. Oh, you’re Irish. Do you have any of that Irish bacon in your suitcase sir? Cunts.

Will Trump insult another Gold Star parent?

Because anybody who questions the events leading up to the operation “is doing a disservice to its success”, remember.

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article135064074.html

“I’m sorry, I don’t want to see him,’’ Owens recalled telling the chaplain who informed him that Trump was on his way from Washington. “I told them I don’t want to meet the President.”


“Why at this time did there have to be this stupid mission when it wasn’t even barely a week into his administration? Why? For two years prior, there were no boots on the ground in Yemen — everything was missiles and drones — because there was not a target worth one American life. Now, all of a sudden we had to make this grand display?’’


According to a timeline provided by the White House, then-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn briefed the president about the operation Jan. 25 over a dinner that included Vice President Mike Pence, Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and top security aides. It was not held in the Situation Room, as had been a practice under previous administrations.

President Trump signed the memo authorizing the action the next day, Jan. 26.

“This was a very, very well thought-out and executed effort,” White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Feb. 2 as questions first arose about the mission. He stressed that it had been thoroughly vetted and planned on Obama’s watch.

Pants on fire again, Spicey…

Colin Kahl, a national security adviser to former Vice President Joe Biden, however, tweeted his contention that Spicer was mistaken.

“Obama made no decisions on this before leaving office, believing it represented escalation of U.S. involvement in Yemen,” he wrote on Twitter.


U.S. forces, targeting a suspected al-Qaida compound, immediately faced armed militants, a sign that their cover had been blown.


“I’d like some answers about all the things that happened in the timeline that led up to it. I know what the timeline is, and it bothers me a lot,” said Owens, who acknowledges he didn’t vote for Donald Trump.

One aspect of the chain of events that nags at him is the fact that the president signed the order suspending the entry of immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Yemen, on Jan. 27 — the day before the mission.

Owens wonders whether that affected friendly forces in Yemen who were assisting with the raid.

“It just doesn’t make any sense to do something to antagonize an ally when you’re going to conduct a mission in that country,” he said. “Did we alienate some of the people working with them, translators or support people. Maybe they decided to release information to jeopardize the mission.”

These are only some of the many questions that Owens believes should be thoroughly examined, including the possibility that the decision to move forward with the mission was motivated by politics.

“I think these are valid questions. I don’t want anybody to think I have an agenda, because I don’t. I just want the truth.”

Trump is making an announcement on his infrastructure spending plan tomorrow.
“We are going to start spending on infrastructure big”.

On immigration “we are getting (rid of) the bad ones, but the press won’t focus on that”.

Trump says he has “a really, really, good solution to Obamacare”.

He is giving “back the power to the states”

He is “going to make taxes between countries more fair”

US has “spent 6 trillion in the middle east and we have potholes all over our roads”

Trump is going to cut the deficit, reduce taxes and increase capital spending. A program for Government that everyone should aspire to :clap:

Its going to be a superb administration
