Until SCOTUS says it he will just ignore it. And even if they do, he might ignore it

Nothing Says deserving of Nobel "PEACE" Prize like Donald Trump renaming The Department of Defense as the "Department of WAR" 🀷

This will probably be an ADHD thing but I found myself down the wikipedia rabbit hole again and looked up Whitey Bulger for a reason I have completely forgotten

Netanyahu defends Gaza plan, saying Australians 'would do it' too The Israeli prime minister says the plan, which many countries fear will lead to increased bloodshed, is the fastest way to end the conflict.

Netanyahu says "Australia would do it, not as precise or efficiently" with regards to his plans to Occupy Gaza.

1. No we wouldn't
2. I am pretty sure we would be more precise and efficient in targeting than killing 50,000 women and children and countless journalists

I can assure you that as another foreigner to the US, most of us think your country is a laughing stock of the world. Trump just made that work. American exceptionalism myth means that Americans are surprised that people dont think that highly of you. For me it is Your Capitalist ideals

wasn't there something in law about racial profiling being illegal? Or am I delusional?

SCOTUS is backing him up all the time now though.

Normally when an Australian born person makes it big overseas I like to say "he's one of us still..."

But Nick Adams.... nah, they can have him.

You answered your own question.

The Zionist lobby will stop this as they have done for decades.

#DexterResurrection Premiere was great. I didn't realise how much I missed the banter between Michael C Hall (Dexter) and James Remar (Harry)

It's really hard for Democrats to do that whilst bashing and destroying progressive ideals which are more popular than corporate donations

Considering the caliber of people Trump has appointed to important positions before, appointing Nick Adams an Ambassador is kinda minor. At least he is not as stupid as the Ambassador to the Bahamas (although not far off).

I am against any violence (I condemned the Synagogue firse as well as attacks against muslims) but it is certainly a bit rich for a war criminal who likes starving and killing innocents by the thousands to condemn an attack against a people.

we have having a similar discussion on this in Australia. It's next to impossible to see around these beasts of a vehicle in a normal car and the car parks are too small which means if you park next to them you are squeezing in and out of the car (and hoping they dont damage it).

For a billionaire buying the presidency would be a bargain. Look at Elon Musk, he got a president for $270m or so and he was compensated by the US Govt gutting all federal agencies that were investigating his companies.

Any time that someone that is good for people (and not the Party machine) is raised they all get squirmish but frankly this is the time to do it.

If they want to follow the example of Keating there is never a better time for tax reform and also to shift the burden from the poor back to the rich.

So collateral that can cover the value of the asset on one day but be worth half the value on the next day is the way of the US future?

Guy pretends he didn't start a war...

Guy claims that he ended a war...

Guy throws a tantrum when no one listens to him...

I personally am just hoping that this rhetoric actually wakes our leaders up to how irrelevant we are on the world stage right now.

I am afraid Senator that Americans have forgotten how long the wars after 9/11 went for and what the outcome was.

The song that immediately comes to my mind is "Blue Moon". The version I am most familiar with is, is by the Marcels.
