I'm not reading that.

Pretty sure everyone else across the world is.

Trump executive order: Million sign petition to stop UK visit - BBC News

I can see why people wouldn't want him coming to the UK, but surely protests would be more in order? Do they really want this man as an enemy to their country rather than their friend? Even a nasty, spiteful and slightly embarrassing friend? Is this not somewhat hypocritical? The first thing UK will do when they're out of the EU is likely look to USA for support; I don't think this is a good time to be pissing off their most powerful potential ally.

He was already banned from coming there at one point in time but it eventually got lifted. Even though he's a big crybaby, it wouldn't piss him off enough to actually do anything. Also that petition isn't going to do much of anything.

Perhaps the best summary of Trump's actions over the past week or so.

Also sorry to bring this back up again but I don't watch the SAGs. It's the only award show I don't watch during the award show season but I do follow the results the next morning and the speeches. From what I'm hearing there were a lot of speeches dedicated to talking about welcoming people that are supposed to be here.

My guess is they ultimately won't do it and will just deficit spend and then blame it on Democrats as they always have

^ Very depressing and all too probable.

Yeah, I watched her throughout the whole thing and I just came to the realization that she must be drunk. She was going through so many like reactions.

It almost looks like she's being sarcastic.
