Trumps First week

Re: Trumps First week
While the news was full of video of near-riots in major airports, protests outside, pandemonium and conflicting orders, he stated that it was working out very nicely. He might as well ask who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?

He thinks he's right and that's all there is to it. One does wonder about his advisors and all the rest of them. That he doesn't appear to know what Merkel had to explain to him either shows his own ignorance, contempt or perhaps the other office holders are deliberately setting him up for a fall.
This amused me this morning. There was an article in the Guardian about the benefits (or otherwise) of taking Melatonin for jet lag. In the blog comments was this gem.
I will be travelling from Iran to the US next week. Will melatonin help me cope with the sleep deprivation. I understand that it can't help with waterboarding though.

Ah well, back with Trump. I think he's going to cause yuge problems for the US economy. American firms, especially American computer firms, use lots of foreign workers. If it becomes easier to move the American workers to foreign than the foreign workers to America, that's what will happen. There's also the matter of foreign investment, the US needs money from abroad, an isolationist policy isn't going to help with that. The first post-Trump President is going to inherit a lot of problems.
Oh, and his tax to building the ****ing wall is going to cripple the car industry, that's a classic foot shooting.

Re: Trumps First week
The establishment propaganda media is full of handwringing this morning about “Islamophobia” being the cause of the attack. Everyone is ignoring the fact that the CBC reported, that the gunmen were screaming “Allahu akbar.” And now we learn from La Presse that one of the murderers was Moroccan.
A Moroccan “right-wing Islamophobe”? Those are somewhat thin on the ground in Rabat and Casablanca and Fez. It is much more likely that the shooting was, as I said yesterday, Muslims who were firing upon other Muslims whom they deemed heretical: a Sunni-Shia dispute, or adherents of the Islamic State versus opponents of it.
Of course it doesn't make it any less tragic.

I can't believe the size of his signature. But at least it's joined up.

Graphology is the analysis of the physical characteristics and patterns of handwriting purporting to be able to identify the writer, indicating psychological state at the time of writing, or evaluating personality characteristics. It is generally considered a pseudoscience.

Re: Trumps First week
Very far from nonsensical, Farah's point is that this is a half-cocked, pea-brained idea that has been rushed into effect with no planning, no briefings, no preparation, no chance to address the nuances of cases that are less than clearly black-and-white. That is what is complaint is, and I think he is absolutely spot on.
