NorthSideSox72 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 27, 2017 -> 09:11 PM) #fakenews UPDATE: Handgate ends. As The Verge and the Washington Post report, the photo ABC broadcast wasn’t the one hung on the White House wall but an inserted still of the Getty image. Further, that still doesn’t have the same warp effect as the one Schwartz initially tweeted. Schwartz has also deleted some of her tweets. Blumpf redeemed. The whole issue was stupid anyway. Much as I detest Trump, the emotional reactions to his presence have brought out some embarrassingly bad stuff from some outlets. There's plenty of good reasons to dig into Trump's already disastrous Presidency, why fall into stupid s*** like the hands thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Nikki Haley is "taking down names" (only for "for those who don't have the US' back) at the UN....seems she has been sent there to deliberately stir things up. New U.S. ambassador Nikki Haley in her first visit to the United Nations put U.S. allies on notice: "For those that don’t have our back, we’re taking names." After making made the remarks to reporters at U.N. headquarters in New York, the new U.S. envoy to the international organization did not take questions about what exactly she meant, saying only, "We will make points to respond to that accordingly." "This is a time of strength, this is a time of action, this is a time of getting things done," Haley added. Her remarks came three days after her nomination to represent the U.S. at the United Nations was confirmed by the U.S. Senate and two days after her visit to President Donald Trump at the White House. A senior administration official confirmed to ABC News earlier this week that the president is considering executive action that could cut U.S. funding to the United Nations as well as U.S. participation in international treaties. Trump Considering Executive Actions Targeting UN, International Treaties "This administration is prepared and ready to go in, to have me go in, look at the U.N., and everything that’s working we’re going to make it better. Everything that’s not working, we’re going to try and fix. And anything that seems to be obsolete and not necessary, we’re going to do away with," Haley said today. "But this is a time of fresh eyes, new strength, new vision, and a great day at the US UN." https://gma.yahoo.com/us-envoy-puts-un-alli...topstories.html Cory Booker goes after Trump, wonders why the media is treating him with "kid gloves" https://www.yahoo.com/news/cory-booker-call...-154037623.html Edited January 28, 2017 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really consider this to be "plotting against the US" so much as just being the smartest person in the room. Spent much of January in Santiago, Chile, and China is starting to surpass the US as their primary trade partner. The more that happens (and it will under Trump) the faster we sow our own destruction and build up China as the world's new primary superpower.

caulfield12 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) CNN's headline right now is "Shockwaves" about the immigration ban andcreaction around the world...an America that doesn't lead is scaring the hell out of everyone. http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/28/politics/don...tion/index.html Ayoub said his group has already fielded calls from people around the world impacted by Trump's executive order, including from students and legal US residents who are citizens of the seven countries banned by Trump and are now stuck overseas. He said his organization fielded a call from a student who was blocked in Turkey from traveling to the US and cannot return to her studies in the US as well as other students on international trips who now cannot return to the US. Ayoub said the executive order "is causing a really destructive impact on the Arab and Muslim community and on the Iranian community in the US." ... The International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian aid and refugee assistance group, called Trump's decision to suspend refugee admissions "harmful and hasty" and noted that the US refugee program "makes it harder to get to the United States as a refugee than any other route." Refugees must undergo an extensive vetting process -- it typically takes more than two years to be admitted to the US as a refugee. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldvi...m=.3222b8772960 Nobel Prize winner Malala "heartbroken" Trump closing the door on children fleeing violence.... Many foreign leaders said they were aghast over the new US policy. Iran answered in kind by saying it would ban Americans from entering the country, calling Trump's action insulting. But the US leader did get backing from Czech President Milos Zeman, who praised him for being "concerned with the safety of his citizens."

LittleHurt05 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 My parents are going to Dubai in two weeks. While they are immigrants, they do have passports and are white so they should be fine coming back home.

Balta1701 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Apparently one of the colleagues of my friend at UNLV made the mistake of going to Canada last week and is now stuck. Tenured professor, has a green card, no longer allowed in the US because comes from the wrong country. Several others are rapidly trying to cancel plans to go present at conferences overseas to avoid being stuck or are similarly trying to remove reservations for conferences here.

Some are suggesting that a good advance step prior to traveling overseas is to have contacted that attorney beforehand so that they can give advice and respond if they are detained.
