But he has eased restrictions on US companies dealing with the FSB (KGB) so Vlad will be pleased.

The point on Trump is ... 'sir, would you rather trade with the Russians or countries in the Middle East'?

No it's not, it's what he's saying. Bannon blows evil in one ear Spicer and Conway fan the rancid result into the atmosphere. Pense and the rest of the cabinet stand by looking on in horror.

Unless I'm misinformed I think they owe so much to China they're sort of locked in.

I'm also wondering when the Don & Vlad get together in Washington if they'll dine out at the many Russian restaurants to sort the China & Middle East problems

And the judge was appointed by George W Bush so the republicans can't go blaming Obama and his liberal judges.


Trump vows to fight ruling blocking immigration order | The Seattle Times


Boston Judge Denies Extension Of Stay Of Trump's Immigration Order | WBUR News


Unsure if the ruling has any effect on Nexus, but the US apparently has revoked Nexus privileges from Canadian PR's who are from the 7 countries.

I will not be surprised if Trump at some point decides Nexus and other trusted traveler programs are too risky and decides to do away with them.

Odd isn't it. The one responsible for an illegal act (so far) remains in post while the one to correctly identify it as being against the constitution is sacked. What a strange world.

Trump will have the judge 'you are fired'

Trump will always get his way for the reason he is the President of the United states

I am still a little uncomfortable calling it a Muslim ban, he not banned Muslims he just banned Muslims from the 7 countries that he thinks pose a threat to the western world.

Maybe Montreal born citizens be next banned from USA

According to the news report I heard, the Seattle judge seemed to take Trump's talk of banning bad Muslim dudes in the election campaign as having some context when he became president. Can't imagine why.

Whether or not it is dubbed a "Muslim ban" by Trump or the media is semantics, and in the end, not really that relevant. Certainly many Muslims will be impacted by it, albeit temporarily. The more worrying thing is that it doesn't even include some significant countries where there have been terrorist groupings, and that suggests that the whole policy is a complete farce to begin with. Trump really has no idea what he is doing, and continues to shoot from the hip, court controversy and treat politics as a great TV reality show. It's dangerous to have a narcissist of this calibre as US president, and one only hope the 'checks and balances' kick in to contain his chaotic instincts.

Maybe Mike Pence will go crazy from proximity and stress and have a vision from god tellling him to rub him out... Everyone in the inner circle is probably going to have to get together and have a long talk with him at some point, maybe when he brings them to the brink of war. Will we see him carried out of the White House in a straight-jacket? Too much to hope for.

I think Mike is playing the long game and waiting for Trump to get himself impeached. Perhaps the whole the GOP is. Not unlikely the way things are unfolding. Not that Christian Overlord Mike Pence is anything to be pleased about.
