Just watched Donald Verrilli interviewed on BBC's 'Hard Talk'. For anyone whose interested, you may be able to view it here...

French Holocaust historian detained for 10 hours at US customs

Simply enhances the current US "unwelcoming" image enhanced by poorly trained and over aggressive border officials.

And he was detained for the same reason as the Australian writer. Sounds increasingly like a 'training issue'.

Indeed, Trump's new rules were released without even one minute of training for the people who had to implement

...who, generally speaking, are already not the sharpest tools in the box as it is.

As someone who is flying to the US on Friday, I have to disagree. They are some of the world's finest people and I for one welcome the overzealous nature of our new travel overlords.

You should tweet that along with some sycophantic brown-nosing statement about Trump on the morning of your flight and you should be good for hassle free entry to the US.

President Donald Trump has signed a resolution blocking an Obama-era rule that would have prevented an estimated 75,000 people with mental disorders from buying guns.
The rule was part of former President Barack Obama's push to strengthen the federal background check system in the wake of the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut shooting.
It required the Social Security Administration to send in the names of beneficiaries with mental impairments who also need a third-party to manage their benefits.
But lawmakers, the National Rifle Association and even the American Civil Liberties Union criticized the rule, saying it unfairly stigmatized the disabled and infringed on their constitutional right to bear arms.

Some 13,286 people were killed in the US by firearms in 2015, according to the Gun Violence Archive, and 26,819 people were injured [those figures exclude suicide].

Trump's bargain basement, back door ploy for population control?

Is this the bit where we say he's 'winning'?

BBC article about Trump's speech to congress.

Given the reasonable and measured reporting coming out of the msm he must of killed it.

Democrat Van Jones : ''If he finds a way to do that over and over again, he's going to be there for eight years''
"That was one of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in American politics"

Apparently, inbetween the rhetoric, almost every claim he made was False... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7604861.html

Not that we would expect anything different.

Don't forget to tell us how long they detain you for when you get there

I think what today seems overzealous will be standard soon. If people have to fast forward their training, maybe there are security reasons for it, already. I know the inconvenience is harsher for some than others. It is however incomparable with situations in certain countries where people not only don't desire to venture out to anymore, but can't, really. Desperation does not automatically grant anything anywhere anymore. There probably will not be much entitlement anymore and I can see certain measures gearing towards this new climate. It is far from erratic, but understand how it may seem that way.

Word is, the new travel policy was supposed to have been announced today, but it's been put back to allow a day of positive reviews. I find so many of his promises to be vague or utterly intangible, such as 'Make America Great Again' but now it's 'renewal of the American spirit'.

Nice try, but no. 'Democrat Van Jones' implies he has some sort of political office. In fact, Van Jones was no more than an adviser for 'green jobs' for Barack Obama, and has no role in the current administration whatsoever. He is the very definition of a SJW, something which i believe you despise. he set up a few nonprofit organizations, including the Dream Corps, a "social justice accelerator". To top it off, hes a dedicated environmentalist.

Its odd how you're so keen to quote him, considering he epitomizes everything you hate.

In any case, he was not referring to the whole speech, but to one particular segment of it. He was referring to the part about the death of the Navy SEAL in the botched Yemen raid, something for which investigations are ongoing.

Also, you seem to have glossed over the fact that the raid didn't seem to have any tangible benefits, and killed a few children:

And what was the tangerine-tinted buffoons response? On Fox News, he blamed the military.

"He is the very definition of a SJW"

who or what, is a SJW?

I was too lazy to type it all out so heres the wikipedia definition:

Why would I despise SJW's?

They played a major role in gifting us Trump

Scum.

Trump is steamrolling all of the better American political decision making of the last 50 years. The guy is an absurd cockwomble. I am gobsmacked by the people who support this loon, they are obviously some the most cretinous and selfish morons to have ever graced planet earth.
