Morgan is probably the only British interviewer more repulsive than Trump himself.

You more than likely loved it when he was here in the US denouncing our 2nd Amendment and pushing for restrictive gun laws.

US President Donald Trump has said he is prepared to apologise for retweeting inflammatory videos by the far-right Britain First group.

In an interview with ITV's Good Morning Britain, Mr Trump said that he had known nothing about the organisation when he made the social media postings.

“If you are telling me they're horrible people, horrible, racist people, I would certainly apologise if you'd like me to do that,” he told presenter Piers Morgan.

This is not an apology, just weasel words.

I'll say again, this was fine when we were a new and growing nation, we no longer need mass migration, that not to say we need no migration.

The gumball video is pretty good — it shows the actual scale of the problem. And it explains the harm done to the source countries when the West skims the cream and lets the rest of the pail fester and sour. Assuming the planet lasts that long without a major environmental breakdown, we'll need to come up with an alternative to the "unlimited growth" model of economic security. Bigger isn't necessarily better and more might just lead to less.

The statutes exist, it's just that there don't seem to be no cheese-eaters around who know how to read and understand them, eh?

@revelette1,
it must be driving Dems nuts that somehow Trump's legal team or advisors have reined him in.

Schummer was counting on a Trump tweet and when he didn't get it he had to cave.

How many Vietnam vets do you know that would accuse their fellows of acting like rapacious Mongols?

There are a lot of us who would, Finn.

He might have an overly high opinion of himself but, damn, I can't begin to tell you how proud I was when the antiwar vets emerged as one of the most effective groups opposed to the Vietnam war. There were some pretty ugly things done by GIs in that conflict. Did you catch any of the Ken Burns series? Do you know the book "Kill Anything That Moves"? No, I don't agree that he's a disgusting sociopath.

By the way, how does that Lagarde nutcase think she is going to prevent me from mining cryptocurrency?

She's not in a position to make laws so I doubt that she thinks she'll do anything directly. But don't be surprised if the problem gets addressed at some point. Blockchain technology may make cryptocurrency obsolete anyway.

Don't be surprised if I retain the right to use as much electricity as I'm willing to pay the power company for.

Not actually.

Quote:
While bitcoin operates on a blockchain, it is not the blockchain. The insight of Vitalik Buterin, the young polymath who created Ethereum, was that in addition to exchanging digital money, the blockchain could be used to facilitate transactions of other kinds of digitized data, such as property registrations, birth certificates, medical records, and bills of lading. Because the blockchain is decentralized and its ledger immutable, those transactions would be protected from hacking; and because the blockchain is a peer-to-peer system that lets people and businesses interact directly with each other, it is inherently more efficient and also cheaper than systems that are burdened with middlemen such as lawyers and regulators.

Hillary Clinton protected '08 campaign adviser accused of sexual harassment

Hillary Clinton reportedly helped protect a senior adviser to her 2008 presidential campaign after accusations that he repeatedly sexually harassed a young subordinate.

The New York Times reported Friday on the incident, revealing how Clinton allegedly intervened to help keep the adviser, Burns Strider, on board.

Clinton’s 2008 campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, reportedly recommended Clinton fire him. But sources told The Times he was kept on the campaign at Clinton's request.

While the incident went unreported for years, sources came forward amid the "#MeToo" climate, in which sexual misconduct allegations from years and decades past are going public.

CALIFORNIA SLAMS TRUMP OVER PLANS TO ARREST SANCTUARY CITY LEADERS AMID CRACK DOWN ON IMMIGRATION

State leaders blasted the Trump administration for threatening to arrest mayors of so-called sanctuary cities on Tuesday and a major immigration sweep that is expected in Northern California within the next few weeks.

The announcement comes after Thomas Homan, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), warned California of an expected immigration crackdown by federal enforcement across the state. “Hold on tight,” he said on Fox News, before adding that he believed sanctuary leaders must be punished for breaking federal smuggling laws.


http://www.newsweek.com/sanctuary-city-leaders-slam-trump-over-plans-arrest-them-abiding-law-784297

The beatdown is ON, eh!?

Legislation prohibiting sanctuary cities have been popping up all over the country, and in the U.S. Congress as well.

The laws requiring states to co-operate with the feds will soon be in effect. The arrogant subversives are gunna find out that they done bit off more that they can chew.

Obama aint runnin the DOJ no mo, chumps.
