JUST IN: House approves resolution killing SEC requirement for oil, gas, mining companies to disclose payments to foreign governments

 

What the actual f***!?

FWIW, I think there's a decent case that they made this ban "constitutional". They included all refugees, so that central American kids will get killed along with Iraqis who worked with the US occupying force. Trump may say he wants to prefer Christians but they've made no moves to do that. They've specifically targeted people from certain countries. Yes those countries are majority Muslim, but there are Christians and Jews in them and some of them would have been refugees. They are casualties as they should have known better than to be born in the wrong country.

 

There is however an equally strong and almost certain case that they are in violation of the law. This text comes from the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965:

 

I'm pretty sure that's quite clear.

 

If that is your approach, voting laws are for all eligible voters...

What the actual f***!?

 

Tillerson just fist pumped

???

 

INA or VRA?

There's a National General Strike being planned for February 17th, the last business day before Presidents Day.

 

I highly recommend striking if you can do so without losing your job.

Completely random, but one of my friends is Oppenheimer's great-niece.

She sounds fund.

So apparently he threatened to send our military into Mexico to stop drugs.

We're gonna need a draft. Acts of war against Mexico and Iran, and don't forget sending troops into Chicago.

 

Who was it who was asking about overseas travel to Dubai?

@aliceemross

Wow. Email from immigration lawyer in New York arrives: "The last few days have been extremely unsettling for us all.." 1/1

 

"Travel outside of the US should be considered only if necessary. Delays will most definitely be an issue for all foreign born travelers"2/2

"Upon entry to the US always be courteous and do not engage officers at the Border posts in political or Trump related discussion"

And he got pissy with Australia

I honestly wonder what the hypothetical impeachment/25th amendment line is.

I honestly wonder what the hypothetical impeachment/25th amendment line is.

With a Republican congress?

 

I don't think shooting someone in the middle of 7th avenue does it.

I honestly wonder what the hypothetical impeachment/25th amendment line is.

What is the line for when congress doesn't act as the electorate wants? I know he's still popular with a lot of people, but the numbers are dropping.

There is no line. It's going to be a rough 2 years, a rough 8 if the Democratic party does it's normal thing.

Riots breaking out in Berkeley, CA. It says protest, but they are burning sh**, so...

 

edit - Milo Yiannopoulos was supposed to be speaking there.

I'm pretty sure if he turned around and shot Paul Ryan in the face during the SOTU he'd be impeached. The line is somewhere between "saying extremely stupid and probably dangerous things" and "murdering the speaker of the house on live television," but definitely a lot closer to the latter.

WE HAVE ENTERED THE TWILIGHT ZONE!

We live in stupid times.

Oh everyone noticed that Russia reinvaded Ukraine this week right?

 

Trump apparently also hung up on the Australian Prime Minister tonight after saying "This was the worst one yet".

What if he shot him in the foot?

Article from the point of view of Australian press criticizing Turnbull for not standing up to Trump...gives a pretty good feel for the current mood outside the US.

Thanks for the info. Their concern seems to be about zero, so I will wish them.along. They have multiple day stops in Europe on both ends of the Dubai trip which helps I would think.

Ugh, sometimes I want to smack these people. This is EXACTLY what he wants.

 

I had never heard of that Milo guy but a quick Google search says that he has zero reason to speak in Berkley, other than entice the locals. But it worked.

Frontline report from Berkeley demonstration/riot

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trum...o-idUSKBN15G5RX

 

 

"U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.

 

As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists."
