Trump's planning to use an army of stormtroopers to round up immigrants (except his wife)

 

They'll just change the uniform of the NG to brownshirts.

 

Talking of bizarre press conferences:

This Scouse bastard is vile. If he means one ****ing word of this bullshit he'd have the balls to call out Banks for comments on Hillsborough, specifically for ranting that he was sick of hearing about Hillsbrough when it was his own leader who was caught out trying to use it for his slimey advantage.

 

Hard finding a storm trooper that isn't sleeping with his wife.

 

Oh Christ...Blair's back...I swear if that man had turned up just before the referendum and told me it was his mission to keep us in no matter the cost...I'd have voted out ...

 

Just what we need a right leaning, ex Labour PM, who is in the pocket of big business and whose policies destroyed pensions, left the country, (especially the NHS and Local Authorities) with expensive PFI contracts, (his big business mates did OK out of them though), and managed to spend the surplus he inherited, as well as billions more, and sold our gold reserves cheap, all to fund wars we would not have become involved with if it had not been for his lies.

I'll listen to him....honest!

 

Muslim teacher denied entry to US on school trip 3/25

© Twitter Juhel Miah A British Muslim schoolteacher travelling to New York last week as a member of a school party from south Wales was denied entry to the United States.
Juhel Miah and a group of children and other teachers were about to take off from Iceland on 16 February on their way to the US when he was removed from the plane at Reykjavik. The previous week, on the 10 February, a US appeals court had upheld a decision to suspend Donald Trump’s executive order that temporarily banned entry to the country from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Juhel Miah, 25,said he was searched before then being removed from the plane https://t.co/Huyr7pNDtk
— WalesOnline (@WalesOnline) February 20, 2017
The trip proceeded as planned but pupils and colleagues from Llangatwg comprehensive in Aberdulais were left shocked and distressed after the maths teacher, who had valid visa documentation, was escorted from the aircraft by security personnel.
Miah, 25, from Swansea, said he was made to feel like a criminal and was so worried by what happened to him that he did not eat or sleep for two days. He told Wales Online that shortly before the flight was due to leave he was approached by an official who told him he could not board the plane.
“Everyone was looking at me,” Miah said. “As I was getting my luggage the teachers and kids were confused. I couldn’t believe this was happening. I was being escorted out. It made me feel like a criminal. I couldn’t speak, I was lost for words.
“We got to the airport, and as soon as we got to check in, the lady behind the desk read my passport and then straight away said you’ve been selected for a random security check.
“She took me to the room, made me stand on a stool, take my shoes off, jacket off, checked under my foot, got a swab to brush over my hand and bag, my clothing and school hoodie. They gave me the all clear and then I went. The search was about five minutes. There were five or six people in the room, two searched me.”
He was taken to a hotel. “I was waiting for two hours for a room. It was horrendous. There were holes in the sheets, a dirty bag under the bed, the light wasn’t working and only the lamp was working.
“My phone battery was dying so I went to my suitcase, and that’s when I realised the padlock was missing. It had gone. I was so paranoid, I was scared, I didn’t sleep or eat for two days.”
The school booked him on to a flight back to the UK. The school party was due to return to the UK on 20 February.
The teacher’s employer, Neath Port Talbot council, has written to the US embassy in London demanding an explanation and the issue is being taken up by Welsh politicians.
A council spokesman said Miah was left feeling belittled at what it described as “an unjustified act of discrimination”. The council said the teacher is a British citizen and does not have dual nationality.
The spokesman said: “Juhel Miah was with a party from Llangatwg comprehensive who travelled initially to Iceland en route to New York last week. Mr Miah boarded the onward flight in Reykjavik on 16 February but was escorted from the aircraft by security personnel. While the school trip proceeded as planned, Mr Miah’s removal from the flight left pupils and colleagues shocked and distressed.
“The local authority understands that Mr Miah was refused permission by the United States authorities to fly to New York, despite being issued with a valid visa for travel. Mr Miah is a popular and respected teacher at Llangatwg comprehensive school. He is a Welsh Muslim.
“We are appalled by the treatment of Mr Miah and are demanding an explanation. The matter has also been raised with our local MP.
“No satisfactory reason has been provided for refusing entry to the United States – either at the airport in Iceland or subsequently at the US embassy in Reykjavik. Mr Miah attempted to visit the embassy but was denied access to the building. Understandably he feels belittled and upset at what appears to be an unjustified act of discrimination.”
Trump’s travel ban was unveiled at the end of his first week in office. While the White House insisted that he was fulfilling a campaign promise to toughen vetting procedures for people coming from countries with terror ties, the order caused chaos at airports in the US and sparked protests across the world.
In its original form, the order temporarily suspended all travel to the US for citizens of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya for 90 days. The order was put on hold by the courts and a revised version has not yet been signed though it is understood from a draft that the same seven countries will be targeted in it.
Neath Port Talbot council pointed out that UK government advice states: “We have confirmed with the US government that British passport holders (regardless of country of birth or whether they hold another passport/nationality) aren’t affected by the executive order.”
It also drew attention to a statement made by the foreign secretary Boris Johnson at the end of last month in the House of Commons, when he said: “We have received assurances from the US embassy that the executive order will make no difference to any British passport holder, irrespective of their country of birth or whether they hold another passport.”
The council said Miah’s experience casts serious doubts on whether either of the statements could be relied upon.
Neath Labour AM Jeremy Miles said he was appalled to hear about the incident. He said he would be raising the issue with the Welsh government to ask them to make representations to the British government.
The Foreign Office is aware of the case. A spokeswoman said: “We are providing support to a British man who was prevented from boarding a flight in Reykjavik.”
There was no immediate response from the US embassy in London.

a bit unfair on nixon.

he told the truth as VP candidate under eisenhower... the checkers interview.

He had dementia and gross paranoia at the end imo

Trump IMO is 1000 times worse than nixon. He's pure evil.

 

The hands are too big.

 

Trump family trips cost taxpayers $11.3m in one month – almost as much as Obama’s cost in a year
Jaunts to estate in Mar-a-Lago, and secret service charges for his son's business trips across the globe, are costing American taxpayers

so?

 

Obviously I don't associate with the "Trump-type" person, but I still dont understand how he took South Carolina in the election . Recently polls show he isn't any more liked here than anywhere else, despite winning the election here.

http://www.postandcourier.com/polit...cle_a6a2145a-f94d-11e6-8524-cf923c0e6f34.html

I still don't know anyone who supports him or admit to voting for him (in SC, I know a few in Georgia).

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I will always have nagging suspicions about the election results. I don't think it was rigged here, but it just doesn't seem right or matching with what I see and hear.

You can normally judge a politicians relative support based on how many bumper stickers or signs you see... There just wasn't ever really many for Trump.

 

1. How did republican vote in senate or congress elections go in sc?

2. Was there any exit poll comments like change Etc?

3. Is it a protest toxic vote v obama and them blacks n women Liberals? (Not my views)

In short was there an assumption clinton would win and the gop got out to get their house seats Assured?

Or was there just even more hatred on clinton.

Did ol bill close half of south Carolina like those idiots up north thought.

 

Oh Republicans always win local elections in SC. Every Republican I know here hated Trump though.

All I can conclude is he won the rural redneck vote.

Mostly electronic voting booths used in SC though. Hack?

 

I would only conclude the rest would simply not vote clinton and maybe it was just a really low count for Trump and lower for Clinton?

Any stats of trump votes v total votes in house election for Republicans?

 

Donald Trump has described the European Union as “wonderful” and said he is “totally in favour of it”, despite having in the past praised Britain as “smart” for pursuing Brexit.
The US President, who has made no secret of his dislike of the Brussels bloc, said he had “very good relations with the EU, but I thought that the UK would pull out of Brexit and I was right”.
“The EU, I’m totally in favour of it. I think it’s wonderful, if they’re happy. If they’re happy – I’m in favour of it,” he said.
Mr Trump’s about-turn follows previous criticisms levelled at the 28-member bloc for acting as a “vehicle for Germany”.
He has also predicted that other member states would leave the EU.
Mr Trump said during an interview in January: “You look at the European Union and it’s Germany. Basically a vehicle for Germany. That’s why I thought the UK was so smart in getting out.”
White House chief strategist and close aide to Mr Trump Steve Bannon is also understood to be an ardent Eurosceptic, reportedly telling one German diplomat during a recent meeting that the EU was a flawed concept.
He also suggested the US under Mr Trump favoured conducting bilateral negotiations.
But Vice President Mike Pence has attempted to strike a different tone, saying during a recent visit to Europe that he and the President looked forward to working with the EU to “deepen our political and economic partnership”.
Leaders of the EU have raised their own concerns about Mr Trump’s suspicion of Brussels, with Martin Schulz, the former president of the European Parliament, describing his election victory as a “very difficult moment” for the continent
