You all know the routine. Old thread too long, split was arbitrary, etc. etc.
Old thread is here.

A guide to Trump's Russian connections:
He has partnered with Russian financiers on major projects elsewhere around the world. Russian investors have been instrumental in helping him cope with all the credit problems he has thanks to his serial bankruptcies. And a number of Trump’s former and current advisers have had financial ties to Russia.

Including their own.
 
I'm having vBulletin dumbs. I can't figure out how to do a real embedded quote from a closed thread... so I apologize in advance for the cumbersome nature of this reply.

Sez Me:
See the first paragraph of this post. Based on that behavior, can I correctly infer that you believe the Reps also never want to see the inside of the White House again?

Based on their recent behavior, I don't want them to continue to stay in power. The problem is that if democrats continue going down the exact same path the republicans have trod, the path of "I'm rubber you're glue" and "tit for tat", I don't think the democrats have a chance in hell of taking it back.

uke2se:
You are misunderstanding us. When Democrats take back power, there won't be any reaching across the aisle. The people who voted Trump are never going to be taken seriously, ever again.

This is an excellent way to alienate the extremely large volume of independent voters and ensure that democrats don't get taken seriously either. At this point, both of these idiot houses are so engaged in pissing contests and penis comparisons with each other than they're breaking the system and neither of them are doing their jobs. I was already frustrated with both parties. I'm rapidly approaching full-fledged disgust. I am also not alone in this. ALL of the political ideologues need to stop acting like children.

phiwum:
Sure as hell hope you're wrong, because it would be nice to have grownups willing to compromise in charge again.

Agreed. Some degree of rational and adult collaboration for the good of the nation would be nice. What the country does NOT need is a kindergarten class in charge of the nation.

Your suggestion is that the democrats should make sure they are just as bad as the republicans, thus guaranteeing that "everyone's wellbeing" is something we can never accomplish. Kudos.
 
Muslim teacher Juhel Miah denied entry to US 'not given reason'
A Muslim teacher denied entry to the United States while on a school trip said he has still not been told why. Mr Miah had flown to Reykjavik, Iceland, with the party from Llangatwg Community School in Aberdulais, Neath, before boarding an onward flight to New York on 16 February.

But before the plane took off he was escorted off by security staff.
The teacher, from Swansea, who says he has a visa which is valid until 2019 and does not have a criminal record Mr Miah said he has a British passport and does not have dual nationality. His family's ethnic background is Bangladeshi.

"I can't think why they wouldn't want me on the plane, apart from maybe because I'm a Muslim," he said.

He added that he had never been to any of the seven Muslim-majority countries included in an executive order signed by US President Donald Trump, temporarily barring people from those places.

Something similar happened to a student-athlete from Canada as well. Born there, but had a funny name.
 
Boris was given Trumps assurance that UK passport holders were unaffected by his new rules and were welcome. So much for Trumps assurance. Boris made to look like a dick again. So much for the 'Special Relationship' May is a twat as well for falling for it.
 
Folks (and especially Skeptic Ginger and Emily's Cat), lets stay on topic and keep the discussion civil, polite and on topic.

Too bad that's not how US Presidential elections are decided.

As an aside, since everyone here knows how the popular vote went, it's kinda tiresome to keep bringing it up ad nauseam.

Is Trump a Democrat? No, so people weren't gullible - they picked the best available candidate.

Who's bringing it up ad nauseam?

It seems that if your name is Mohamed Alonso or Yassine Castro your chances to enter in the US are currently not very good.

No worries, I'm taking appropriate action.
