ewerk 30629 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Mr Trump [who said waterboarding works] also said he would consult Defence Secretary James Mattis and CIA director Mike Pompeo and "if they don't want to do it that's fine". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38753000 Not very presidential Weak leader!

Ayatollah Hermione 13881 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 At least this means the US have no ground to stand on when it next comes out that their soldiers have been lashing innocent Syrians in the knackers with bamboo to extract information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 The left wing in the US seem to be trying to get it together in an attempt to hijack the Democratic party. The US version of Momentum, perhaps. One that might be able to succeed, you never know: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/01/23/progressives-launch-justice-democrats-to-counter-primary-corporate-legislators/?utm_term=.c02ef4dbb840 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Momentum have hijacked the Labour party entirely by getting a few thousand people to vote for a leader millions of non-members deem unacceptable. This looks a much more traditional move to incremental change (if it succeeds) in that corporate democrats will be forced to move left and vote more liberally or face losing their mandate. To me it more resembles the Tea Party approach to moving establishment republicans farther to the right than it does the momentum approach of taking over the asylum. Momentum should have run as a UKIP of the left if they want to keep Labour MPs honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 One of the points of this is to purge the DP of donations from corporate sponsors though. Would the corporates accept that? I think this might be a more significant change than a matter of just keeping the corporate democrats honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning he will appear on the list of fraudulent voters produced by this report.

Genuinely think there might be something to this - it's exactly what is needed. Change from the left. Not the fucking right. I very much hope it succeeds and can be replicated.

Gemmill 44930 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I genuinely hope he dies. I hope the stress of the job makes his heart explode. When you look at how much it's visibly aged previous presidents, fuck knows what this cunt is gonna look like. The old twat who drinks from the wrong Holy Grail in Indiana Jones will look fresh faced in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30629 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 President Donald Trump will seek a 20% tax on goods imported from Mexico and use the revenue to build a border wall, the White House spokesman has said. So it's basically going to be American importers of Mexican goods who pay for the wall, not Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21937 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Just watched the Beeb news at ten. Still feels like we're in a dystopian alternate reality. Utterly surreal with a neat conclusion from Sopel - the presidency hasn't changed trump. Trump is changing the presidency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
