Ban suspension upheld.
Makes Trump look like a bit of a cunt that.
The President of the United States is currently posting in all caps 'SEE YOU IN COURT'.
So good. There are some juicy bits in the opinion (comment? I'm no lawyer, the thing they release to justify the decision made) basically calling every argument made on their behalf retarded or with name evidence.
After following this Ivanka stuff I'm eagerly waiting for a bookie to offer value for impeachment.
Lol, Donny boy you just saw them in court.

If anyone hasn't actually scrolled through his twitter (I hadn't, only read the tweets that got posted elsewhere) then take a few minutes to.
It really defies belief.
Nothing scares judges more than being in court.
The Breitbart (lol) exclusive post decision interview with Spicer is some laughable fucking high school shit. LEGIT NEWS

Why the focus on one rape case in Sweden?
A 20 second Google reveals that there were 160,000 recorded incidents of sexual assault or rape in the US in 2013. Additionally, only 2 in 100 incidents of rape result in time being served.
Perhaps the US should deport all Americans, too...
That's an interesting take on that law. I wonder how many active lawsuits Trump still pursues? It was 75 until he paid those Uni kids off.On January 23, 2017, the liberal watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, filed a civil action against President Donald Trump, alleging that he is in violation of a constitutional provision that bars him from taking gifts or payments from foreign governments. [145][146][147][148]
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington stated that because Trump-owned buildings take in rent, room rentals and other payments from foreign governments, the president has breached the Emoluments Clause. The Constitution says, "no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under the United States, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State." [149]
Hasn't he stuck everything in a 'blind trust' to get around that? It'll be a fudge of monumental proportions, but I doubt it'll sink him. His reaction to the supreme court lolling his executive order(s) out of existence could though.
I thought he was just leaving the children in charge.
Because Merts hero and the country he's leading is falling to pieces, he has to try to look elsewhere for comfort.
It's like a kid in the playground who pissed himself, so he's running around throwing water on everyone else's trousers.
Seems like winning made mert angrier. Hard to imagine what he'll be like after four years of winning so much he'll be tired of winning.
Probably won't be good for his blood pressure.
Jim speaks the truth here.
The courts should stop anything Trump does that is actually illegal, so we're really left with what is worryingly unethical.
I saw this this morning. It's incredible stuff. I would have been sacked if I'd put something like that out.
Who shoots a one camera interview and then decides to go walk aboutAmazing.
Actually found Merts frat.
Where's your hat mert?
Every single face is punchable.
Trump and Abe live...
Tojo cucked him good and proper with his dominant handshake (but then they are experts).
Abe getting his stooge to ask a question about South China Sea security (despite Trump trying to end the conference) at the end
Trump is at a natural disadvantage to begin with on this.
When the board finally dies, the last 5 posts will just be you and me doing Banzai references at six month intervals.
I miss that show more than I probably should.
lol at Tim Farron giving it the big'un like he matters:
Speaking to both Houses of Parliament is a rare honour, the highest honour we can offer. In the past we have hosted speeches from world leaders in equality, justice and human rights from Mandela to Obama to Aung San Suu Kyi. Trump does not belong alongside these names.
Tim, mate. Have a quick Google of Burma.
Why does Obama get put on that level? I'm sure he's a lovely bloke, but Mandela actually did stuff.
You forget how tragic that website is. Elsewhere, you've got Alastair Campbell moaning about 'using The Queen as a bargaining chip', A. C. Grayling seething about sex dolls not getting a vote, and a restaurant critic having a lengthy go at Jacob Rees-Mogg for what reads like no reason.
Piss that bed, lads. Piss that bed.
I'm obsessed with his tie, does he make it so long on purpose or does he just buy yuge ones?
This one?

It's like watching a fish die.
Suu Kyi has a poor record on the Muslim minority in Burma as well, mostly by refusing to condemn violence and staying quiet and pretending their persecution isn't an issue - here
There was also this, which, if it was the Donald, would probably lead to mass protests and global Twitter trends.
There was quite a good article on the BBC, of all places, the other day on Obama's record. The argument was that if Romney had won in 2012, and simply continued Obama's drone strikes, there would have been mass outrage (probably from what I will term the Miliband-Cooper Gang).
In short, he was shielded from criticism by his 'aura'. Which, let's be blunt, was because he was both a) liberal and b) a minority.
Cool as fuck more than anything.
I think I would have rather gone for a milk with 'Dubya'.
'Top up, George, lad?'
You would, but who would you think The Group would invite to join them first?
'You know, when we launched Obamacare, the Republi...'
'Will you shut up? We can't hear Kiko.'
*smug*
I'm not one to big up Obama on foreign policy terms but the Iranian Nuclear Deal and the reopening of the Cuban diplomatic situation are both monumental things. To say he did nothing is childishly reductive.
Yeah, but Mandela.
Alongside disasters in Libya and Syria.
Not that it matters. He addressed parliament in 2011, before any of this was relevant to deciding whether he 'merited' it or not. Mandela can't be your bar, otherwise it's a small handful of people who're getting the HONOUR.
Ultimately, this is just a manufactured argument. He probably wouldn't have addressed parliament anyway, there was no request made, and it's just being used as an excuse by the usual crowd to appear relevant.
For all the expressions of outrage from the Farron mob, this is interesting:

We're an extremely moderate country, especially now. Europe has all these nutjobs getting solid shares of the vote/seats and threatening power in some cases, while the best we can do is Farage bumbling around like a twat. There's a reason why we've never had any kind of extreme government, or not since about 1660.
Hooray for First Past the Post.
Obama's record is indeed poor in many respects, and one should not lose sight of this. Trump is dangerous on another level, but that doesn't make Obama bombing kids in Yemen any worse than Trump doing it.
Indeed. Our constitutional settlement is great. It perplexes me that there are people frothing at the mouth now we're no longer throwing our lot in with the likes of the Hungarians.
That Spanish support seems rather low, given 1) their history with them; and 2) their sports being rife with racism.
If it wasn't for First Past the Post America would probably be split as a nation at this stage. There would be open White/Black Nationalists getting 10-15% of the vote with another 10-15% of the vote going to "all taxation is theft" libertarians. It would be bananas.
It's a better system.
Iranian Nuclear Deal is a completely unenforceable joke that empowered the number 1 sponser of terrorism in the world. The "Cuban diplomatic situation" is a lol capitulation which has empowered a totalitarian state, where the US gained 0 concessions for 60~ years of policy.
Even his 'successes' are massive failures by any reasonable barometer.
I'm not sure what 'concessions' you could even wring out of Cuba, seeing as the Soviet Union no longer exists, so normalising relations with them is just sensible.
Didn't they get rid of the 'wet feet dry feet' policy? The likes of mert should be happy with that, no?
