Resistance is futile!!!  It seems that the controversy over Pres. Trump’s (get used to that)  immigration ban is having some side effects.

A few days ago, Iraq said they’d retaliate for it, but they now appear to have changed their minds.  http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-immigration-iraq-idUSKBN15F238

They just happened to remember that they still need our help on stuff like ISIS/Daesh, and we do, after all, have 5,000+ people over there helping them out, don’t we?  Yeah… we do.

However, Sally Yates has been fired for refusing to enforce Pres. Trump’s EO.  She was the previous administration’s lawyer.

Meanwhile, jihadists are giggling and snorting, telling us: “Your decision will do nothing. Attacks will come at you from inside America, from Americans born in America with American parents and grandparents,” posted by one Islamic State supporter on Telegram, an encrypted messaging app.

And finally, because there are growing concerns in Europe, there is now an Austrian ban on the full face veil.  There’s  a link in the BBC article to Mrs. Merkel’s statement banning the same thing in Germany.

What was that Chinese curse? Oh, yeah: May you live in interesting times.  Well, one financial forecaster has said he is expecting some shocks of all sorts, political, financial and geophysical (quakes or eruptions)  this year.

Keep your eyes open and your ears on ‘High Alert’.

Yates should have resigned, as an appointee she was about to be sent packing anyway…if she had differences of opinion and ideals with the incoming administration resignation makes more sense than accepting the very temporary lead position.

Graybeard

She wanted the attention, the “virtue signaling”.

Look at me! I’m standing up to the Tyrant!

Appointment to DNC position in 3, 2, 1…

2/17 Air Cav

Zactly. Show boater. Grand stander. Her cv will now read, “Fired within first two weeks by D. Trump.” Lw schools the land over are now trying to sign her on.

David

Not that the confirmation process has moved swiftly (pun intended!) but her time was limited from the beginning. The only noteworthy aspects of this are her lack of professionalism and the timing of her being asked to leave.

Doc Savage

So…Iraq wanted to enact a similar ban?

I wasn’t aware we had that many Americans fleeing to Iraq as refugees.

Miley Cyrus?

The Other Whitey

Anybody who’s dumb enough to move from here to Iraq deserves what they get.

The gas station/deli in the town where I live is owned and operated by a Christian Iraqi immigrant family (I think they’re Coptic). While they have some pride in Iraq’s ancient history (Babylon and whatnot), they are very happy to be here and have zero interest in going back. They immigrated legally, completed the process to become US citizens, and are as American as any of the rest of us. They also lean conservative when voting.

They think Trump’s immigration ban is a brilliant idea, probably because they have firsthand experience with the people in question. That firsthand experience was, of course, the reason why they came here in the first place.

Perry Gaskill

That Miley. Sometimes you just want to turn her over your knee for being a very bad girl.

If you catch my drift…

OldManchu

She probably has almost any many venereal diseases as Madonna. Touching her is not advised.

The Stranger

Ok, we’re going to need a ruling on this…
Paging IDC SARC!

Id hit it.. if for no other reason to increase my ability to identify specific present and evolving STDs based upon taste alone.

Yeah there’s some women no matter how good they look you’re thinking the goods might be damaged beyond repair….

I’d fuck a fat chick instead of a skank ass whore any day of the week….most fat chicks don’t mind a big meal afterwards…and they always have snacks.

Yef

Fat chicks? I don’t know man. Fat chicks are a downer.
There is no excuse for letting your body go to waste.
It screams lack of character and lack of discipline.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, they’re often loyal, don’t run away and if they do they usually don’t get too far before you catch them and they leave a trail that’s easy to follow.

David

dunno… the build is OK but all those tombstone teeth? Just scary… she looks like a female version of Gary Busey.

Graybeard

I’m with OldManchu. To many creepy-crawlies and other STDs that even ID-SARC could not identify in those damaged packages.

The bait may be attractive, but the embedded cyanide pill is a real downer.

I think Gary’s a little higher on the functional crazy/moron scale even after his motorcycle wreck

Someone is late to the thread so I’ll say it: I’d hit it

These times to me are akin to the shake up we had when I was a youngster on AD in the late 70s/early 80s, when Reagan came in after Carter. The left was freaking out in western Europe saying that Reagan was going to start a nuclear war with the Soviets. Just prior to Reagan being elected I remember reading an op-ed article form a liberal egg head complaining about certain troops being seen off post (at Bragg,I’m pretty sure, because everyone else was wearing the old solid od green fatigues) “scaring” people because they were wearing camouflage uniforms. Then after Reagan was elected in the ultimate “FU”, Department of the Army puts everyone in a salad suits (BDUs).

My Dad was a Judge in a locale near an Army Installation when I was a kid during those years and I remember him telling me that during the Jimmeh Kahtuh years a liaison from the nearby installation would ask him what the Soldier did, if they were convicted and what could be done to help them salvage their careers. During the Reagan Years the same liaisons would ask what they went in front of him for and if the answer was “Yes” if they’d been convicted, said liaison would reply “Well that’s it, they’re out of the Army.”. The Reagan Years saw a lot of sub-par and time-counter types get thrown out and I hope the same happens during the Trump Years!

Trump picked Gorsuch for SCOTUS.

68W58

A great pick. Expect the next round of lefty freak outs to be about this.

David

Pelosi and Schumer are already out whining at high volume. Schumer is threatening a filibuster…didn’t the Dems change the confirmation process to eliminate filibusters?

A Proud Infidel®™

If President Trump found a cure for cancer the liberals would automatically come out bawling that he had just cheated the Grim Reaper out of part of his business and livelihood.

I’m glad they’re protesting and speaking their minds. Not happy when they tear stuff up and act a fool though, but free speech is the American way. I may not agree with what they have to say, but I’ll defend their rights to say it. Just like with the klan and American Nazis. I find their speech repugnant and hate filled, but it’s worth defending. All free speech is worth defending.

Deplorable B Woodman

And if you had any doubts about their political leanings, there’s none now.

Yef

This. They are coming out and their craziness is on record.
