unless what the president is doing is ilegal
or is Trump above the law in your eyes?
ah chewkw the professor of US constitutional law, hasn't part of this been held up in court already?
Sorry forgot stop engaging the troll.
Anyone know how much trump makes on the Dakota pipeline?
I wonder what his next [s]Business Opportunity[/s] policy will be 😉
Maybe a little bit of a comfort option in airport detention

It is legal ... 😆
It is legal hence she is fired.
That appears to be subject to debate. She was not [i]"convinced that the
Executive Order is lawful"[/i]. Several jurisdictions appear to agree.
She knows absolutely well that her decision is a political one rather than a legal one.
Her job is to react to the law and the constitution.
What does the First Amendment say again?
Very clever people they are too for trying to take laws into their own hands.
That is literally their job!

The Attorney General thinks not, but clearly you understand US law and constitution better than she does.

you often get fired?
I assume you would shoot somebody if Donald told you to? Think this has happened before, it's called abuse of power.

So there's an opposing petition to get Trump to come on a state visit here.
Am I being overly judgemental about the first thing that jumps out at me on reading the two petitions?
[i]"Donald Trump should be invited to make an official State Visit because he is the leader of a free world and U.K. is a country that supports free speech and does not believe that people that appose our point of view should be gagged."[/i]
It reads like it was written by a five year old. "Leader of [b]a[/b] free world"? "Appose"? The old "I said free speech first so I win" argument of ignoring the difference between "gagging" and "ignoring"?

What does the First Amendment say again?
I hope that does not apply to me from the far east nor other sovereign states as I do not want that to impose on other countries.
Therefore, that 1st Amendment only apply to Citizen of Merica.
You want to go there then you comply. You don't you go. Simple.
You are Not a citizen of Merica then it is not your business who Merica let in or let out.
Their land their rules.
Other land other rules.
😆
It reads like it was written by a five year old.
Brexies, trying to salvage their precious trade deal
She knows what she did is wrong hence she is fired.
Does she?
Did she?
Or was she fired because the Doughnut only wants to surrounded by stupid sychophants?
I'm looking forward to him turning water into wine and making a jumbo jet disappear live on TV, aren't you chewkw?

chewkw at it again?

From my job once many years ago when I was young and given a sales target that was so high it is impossible to achieve ... 😆

Unlike many who blindly follow their leader(s) by seeing him/her as "living saint", I don't. I don't do things blindly nor follow orders.
However, I want to be the one that gives orders. 😆
You are Not a citizen of Merica then it is not your business who Merica let in or let out.Their land their rules.
It breaks their rules.
It breaks their constitution
It breaks several international agreements the US is a signatory to.
Guess what it breaks their laws, Presidents can't just change laws
Well let's see what Jeff Sessions does once (if?) he is approved as new Attorney General? Will he say it's lawful? If he does, I reckon there will be a court case brought on the issue.
"It breaks their rules.
It breaks their constitution

Guess what it breaks their laws, Presidents can't just change laws"
Sounds highly likely, in which case let's save the hysteria and let the US courts deal with it.
Therefore, that 1st Amendment only apply to Citizen of Merica.You want to go there then you comply. You don't you go. Simple.
You are Not a citizen of Merica then it is not your business who Merica let in or let out.
The #MuslimBan was applied to Green card holders - i.e. lawful permanent residents of the US. Hence that part was illegal.
Unlike many who blindly follow their leader(s) by seeing him/her as "living saint", I don't. I don't do things blindly nor follow orders.
And yet here you are chastising Sally Yates for not blindly following orders.
As ever, your viewpoint continues to confuse me.
It is legal ...

😆 Of course they are legal.
The laws are for the Mericans.
If people are not Mericans then they either comply or not go.
Nobody is stopping people leaving or not going there.

Why not? She abuses her power did she not hence she is fired.
I don't understand your complete disregard for the worldwide outrage at Trump's policies, the irony that you seem to feel no barrier to criticising the policies of other countries which differ from your own politics is something to which you're seemingly oblivious. I strongly suspect that one of two scenarios applies to you.
1) You're fourteen years old.
2) You've limited emotional intelligence.
2) You've limited [s]emotional[/s] intelligence.
FTFY
Please explain chewkw why YOU think the executive order is legal when the Attorney General thinks it is not.
unlike his wife?
She is definitely his legal wife, what's your point caller?
Why not? She abuses her power did she not hence she is fired.
Her job (and Donald Trump's for that matter) is to uphold the constitution. If she is of the opinion that the Executive Order is in breach of the constitution then it is her job to speak out.
😆 Of course they are legal.
So you don't believe in blindly following leaders - but you do believe that anything the leader does is always legal and should be blindly followed?
The laws are for the Mericans.
If people are not Mericans then they either comply or not go.
IT. WAS. APPLIED. TO. MERICANS.

indeed but she wasnt always legal as an immigrant

but hey Trump and his fans are as hypocritical as all the rest...
So you don't believe in blindly following leaders - but you do believe that anything the leader does is always legal and should be blindly followed?
He's already said that we should follow Theresa May blindly, so the answer has to be a clear yes.
Why do people keep engaging with chewkw ?
Clearly a troll who continues to get you all going. Just ignore them for a week and they will go away.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Rex Tillerson all upset about Trump not consulting them on his bonkers ban!
Yates could be the least of his worries if he carries on like this!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this forum needs a proper ignore function, so that the ignorer is spared having to read the ignoree's drivel and the ignoree can't see the ignorer's posts - a la b3ta.
Back to the subject in hand. There was quite a turnout last night at Whitehall to protest at trade negotiations with Trump. A large contingent of the crowd were actual Americans, along with representations from all of the major religions.
Somehow, Trump has succeeded where Clinton and Carter have failed, as we had Jews marching in solidarity with Muslims...

I can assure you that all those outrage are nothing but emotional feeling that they are entitled to.
I support President Trump because he wants to look after the Merican people first. To me that is absolutely right. Take care of Merica first while the rest of the world can take care of themselves.
I like to criticise countries that are "busy bodies" who want to intervene in other sovereign states' affairs, and who like to impose their moral views on others.
p/s: Yes, I support PM May as I consider her to be a good PM.

Yet as a non national, you're happy to swing your hammer in the Brexshit debate. Hypocrisy much?

Supporting and telling people to bow down to her as she is the leader are two separate things
typo?

I don't want to turn this thread into a one sided attack on a fellow forum member, but the above is indefensible, unless one actively revels in a moral stance that flip-flops to suit their own political viewpoint. That's usually the preserve of adolescents...or those with a very limited sense of self-awareness.
As I said before, I strongly urge chewkw to go and read Kant, followed by a prolonged study of the conditions which contributed to the rise of the Third Reich.
EU bureaucrats must go regardless.captainsasquatch - Member

@chewkwRead Kant.
I read Confucius, Lou Tze and etc ...
Kant has nothing new to offer.

The thrill of the chase!
prolonged study of the conditions which contributed to the rise of the Third Reich.
FFS, I've recently done this and we're nowhere near that.
For instance, towards the end of WW1 as a consequence of the blockade there were literally fights over food between starving Poles and starving Jews who lived in Poland. Before that the two communities had got on reasonably well. It's fairly easy to see how two decades later one side might be willing to send the other away to death camps.
Nothing in our world is going to lead to that level of hatred in Europe or the USA, certainly not anything that's politically happening right now. Last time it happened it took something as insanely extreme as WW1 to kick it off.
Yes it could happen again, and it could happen fast, but it would take an extreme situation as a catylist. (Say, the phosphates crisis.)
Plus in the age of google earth and mobile phones how do you hide a death camp?
We all need to calm down a lot.
