January 31, 20178 yr Trump's starting to turn into a dictator as I feared then. Disagree with him and risk losing your career. :( She was an Obama appointment who was due to lose her job as soon as Trump's nominee is approved. That said, the way she was sacked is worrying. The next incumbent may feel obliged to support Trump regardless of minor matters such as the law and the constitution.
January 31, 20178 yr China too (although they were Allies in WW1 under a different goverment (which eventually went to Taiwan) before Mao took over) the UK are cosying up too, their human rights record isn't great too. As my dad said yesterday, what next, a trade deal between the UK and Kim Jong Un of North Korea?
January 31, 20178 yr Trump's starting to turn into a dictator as I feared then. Disagree with him and risk losing your career. :( To be fair Jeremy Corbyn's last shadow cabinet reshuffle was seen as the same, and it was suggested even on centrist news organisations like the BBC that he was getting rid of those who disagreed with him and putting those in that did agree with him. At least Corbyn for all his flaws stands for tolerance though.

There's sacking someone because of disobedience (which any leader has the right to do) and sacking someone because they won't argue that your violation of the Constitution is legal.
February 1, 20178 yr Omg i had that exact thought earlier today. It's so true tho. We're cozying up to the giant cheeto and providing arms to turkeys dictator. Our country has gone to the dogs TBH no matter what's happening that middle/ upper class expression of 'gone to the dogs' is ridiculous. The country is always 'going to the dogs' for someone or other whilst staying int he top10 economies of the world.

Our country has gone to the dogs Indeed, almost as bad as cosying up Hungary - an EU member state lest we forget since 2004 - that recently shut down the only media that dared to criticise the Viktor Orbán rightwing government. The EU have done sweet fuck all to reprimand them about the atrocious treatment of refugees, choosing instead to have endless debates about Brexit. Edited February 1, 20178 yr by Doctor Blind
February 1, 20178 yr How about some non-front page developments? ... how about the coincidental bombing of Ukraine that started immediately after the Putin/Trump chat on 28th Jan? Or the non-suspicious death in his car of the KGB informer believed to be behind the leak about Russian hacking during the US election? Or the going-to-ground of the British counterpart, possibly worried about turning up in a car park in Tesco one morning in not the best possible health...? ...or the Trump-ordered bombing of families of "IS members" which may or may not include children and teachers. The only good child of dickhead IS member is a dead child of a dickhead IS member, apparently...? Still, nothing to worry about eh, he knows what he's doing? Getting people killed as it turns out....
February 2, 20178 yr http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/am...s-a7558691.html Well, I can certainly hope it's not true as nothing has been confirmed so far, but still, good grief...America is literally gonna look like it did in the 1930s by the end of 2017 at this rate.
February 2, 20178 yr If it's signed I fully plan to go have pre-martial gay sex in the bathroom of his hotel. Or the national mall. Haven't nailed the location yet.
February 2, 20178 yr Good grief. The amount of hypocrisy. I wonder how many abortions did he himself pay for after having pre-/post-/during-marital sex?

February 2, 20178 yr I wonder if sprinkling holy water on the White House and Capitol would set it on fire
February 2, 20178 yr I have a feeling that that story may turn out to be "fake news", although I could always be wrong. Quite a lot of that would end up being found unconstitutional very quickly.
February 2, 20178 yr Quite a lot of that would end up being found unconstitutional very quickly. Did you notice Trump firing his acting Attorney General for refusing to argue for a measure that will likely end up being found unconstitutional very quickly?

The only one I agree with is that 'life begins at conception'. Abortion (not in case of rape or incest or if it would risk the life of the mother if it was born should definitely be allowed) is a big argument, if I am being honest I would swing towards pro-life outside those two cases. Depends on the individual case though. The other two are just completely idiotic and backward to try and say as 'wrong'. Edited February 2, 20178 yr by The Sultan
February 2, 20178 yr Pro life? Isn't it also pro life of the mother or pro life in general to allow abortion and not leave more and more children in care, probably without government support in the US?? Once the sprog is popped, in US the 'pro-lifers' are suddenly unconcerned about its welfare... Also, life does not begin at conception. It is a collection of cells, and therefore no baby is getting aborted, just cells.

It is a collection of cells, and therefore no baby is getting aborted, just cells. Fair point, maybe not literally at conception. Yes there also points such as the welfare of the child being in care and the emotional wellbeing of the mother if she does not want the child but has to give birth to it. Very hard to know for me which way I am going to believe on this I think, maybe I was too hasty to swing pro-life.
