So now Trump has trotted out his Supreme Court nominee, a clone of Scalia in every way imaginable.
It still fills me with outrage when I think about how the Senate Republicans abused their power and stole that seat on the Supreme Court from Obama. Obama had every right to fill that vacancy because he was still the fucking President. That seat belongs to Merrick Garland, and the Republicans know it.
This is how the Republicans are. They were willing to prevent Obama from fulfilling his executive duty simply so they could retain control over the Court. This is the kind of vicious game that they play. And then they accuse the Democrats of obstruction? I cannot believe that anyone can be so overtly hypocritical and still have anything resembling a conscience.

I will say that no one can be a Scalia clone... he always wrote the funniest retorts on the High Court. www.politico.com/story/2016/02/best-antonin-scalia-quotes-219274 |

Drug Cartels beware, or are potential Mexican immigrants about to get even more of a raw deal? Donald Trump with a line I can only assume he has bastardised from a spaghetti western  The supporters of the man said "wait and see" upon his election- Well in addition to his domestic carnage thus far it would now appear his approach to international diplomacy comes straight from his guide to electioneering. I can see him causing major diplomatic rows and possibly more serious incidents in the near future if he continues as it seems likely with this sort of lunatic approach. |

Picking a fight with Australia?!?? What?!?! He's not picking a fight as yet, more acting as expected when things don't go his way, in this case being told he is bound to accept 1,250 refugees from Australian Detention Centres. I did notice his later Tweet though unsurprisingly blaming Barack Obama which whether or not you agree with other countries domestic and foreign policies, or prior agreements by a previous administration, is hardly the way to conduct diplomatic business- The man aside from being a dangerous narcissist is clearly still stuck in the 'celebrity' bubble posting all his unchecked thoughts onto social media outlets, and ranting about perceived ills and slights against him. I can honestly see either his downfall or a major catastrophe as a direct result of his action or actions against his actions within this year. |

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have to stand naked

Now he using the national prayer service(or whatever it is) to attack Arnold Schwarzenegger. I just wish for one day he'd calm down, it's an endless stream of destabilisation caused by his narcissism. It can't keep up for 4 years without something snapping, whether that's society or a war. Although this is probably Bannons plan. As an aside, the leaked draft LGBT EO (if true) is absolutely disgusting. |

I quite liked Arnie's reply, although it says a lot about a situation when he is coming across as a voice of reason- As to the alleged LGBT Executive Order he will have to bring out something IMO to placate Bannon and his more hardline support, even it doesn't go as far as he or they would like. Whether this is allowing discrimination in Federal employment, adoption bans, enabling religious discrimination against LGBT or something more I don't know but I can't see his supporters allowing him to get away with no action whatsoever even if it isn't high on his own priorities list. |

I'm starting to think a lot of people should be spending less time combing the details of Trumps latest scandals, and more time making positive contributions to those closest to them. If you're so "disgusted" by all this, then look elsewhere to pass your time. It is possible to survive life without constantly reading political news. To each their own though. P.S.
This isn't meant as an indictment on you batfink30... just a personal thought. |

A personal opinion only but the more Americans in particular that consistently appear to be confronting him the better it will be both in building pressure on the man and also demonstrating to other nations that such acts are in the name of Donald Trump and his supporters, not everyone in the USA. I am not suggesting that this is what you or anyone else on the forum are doing (enabling Trump I mean) but it is simply my own thoughts from the other side of the pond. Where we do agree is making positive contributions to those around us, be it family, friends or even strangers- with that in mind there are quite a number of alienated/disenfranchised/frightened people as a result of the aforementioned Mr Trump who themselves could do with a positive contribution from others  |

This isn't meant as an indictment on you batfink30... just a personal thought.Yeah, I can see your point but it difficult when I feel it's starting to affect me. I'm off to the UAE and Oman in 5 weeks and I feel distinctly less safe than I would have 2months ago (I know the UAE isn't Iran) but tensions will be higher in the region. There's also financial instabilities that will possibly affect me through Brexit. You can't help get the feeling these days that "Rome is burning". I also don't think Trump is the kind of leader you should ignore. |

I also don't think Trump is the kind of leader you should ignore. Bluntly I wouldn't feel safe in the UAE anyway (and that's not just on account of having a Russian passport ). The ruling powers of that particular country with their absolute monarchy and 'no dissent' laws, combined with conflicting reports on whether or not they are backing Wahhabist movements means personally I would as soon as take my chances in Iran. On the subject of the last days it isn't that mate so don't get into that mindset if you can help it Last century as I said before both sets of my grandparents saw two world wars with the Great Depression in between, whilst my Russian side saw the rise of Stalin and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation. As a world we survived those things and will survive them again as long as each generation continues to fight their battles, different to or the same as the ones before them, to bastardise the late Tony Benn. Donald Trump isn't a man to ignore but nor is he the end of days, and also notice should be taken of the people leading him as thus far he appears to me to be a continuing celebrity caricature of the worst kind of conservative politician, with others actually using him to further their own ambitions. |

A positive result but how long before Steve Bannon & Co. Donald Trump starts to come up with ways to remove 'non-compliant' Judges? EDIT I resume the idiot has had a rant about it on his Twitter feed? How to Remove a Federal Judge (Yale 2006) contends that conventional belief in impeachment being the only way to gain a removal is actually wrong, and I certainly wouldn't put anything past this current administration to try and force their beliefs and policies on the rest of society. Going back to the earlier debate on continually observing and pressurising Trump and his activities is that following on from the most polarising Presidential campaign and election in living memory we now have a man who has not even completed a full month in office cause more controversy, divide and upset than I can remember any other leader causing- when you make George W. Bush and Tony Blair look like rational men there is a major problem, and Trump has gone well beyond that already. I don't know where this is going to end but it is going to get very messy but hopefully not bloody before his tenure is over. |

An alternative solution to Donald's wall? $131,000,000 for 200 hectares in a joint China/Pakistan venture capable of producing up to 1,000MW or equivalent to an average coal fired power station providing energy for approximately 320,000 homes. If you want to build along the border with Mexico how about taking a leaf from the two Asian countries and work on something that could be mutually beneficial to both countries?
