Mr Spicer has referenced a terror attack in Atlanta by someone who entered the country from overseas. He’s now made the reference at least three times in recent weeks.
The last high-profile terror attack in Georgia’s capital took place 21 years ago by a right-wing terrorist from Florida. The man was not foreign-inspired, but rather someone who was upset over abortion and homosexuality.

Swamp to be cleared? Why not vermin to be exterminated? Parasites to be destroyed? Counter-revolutionaries to be liquidated?
What a world!
Nothing like a bit of meaningless exaggeration.
A lot has been made, in these threads, about nastiness coming from the left. You know - "Tory scum" and all that. My post was a response to yet another hackneyed phrase that aims to dehumanise opponents. I was drawing attention to the cheap and nasty cliché that it is.
Yes,and watched the 'outer dark'(?) video on it,what do you think about it?
The 18 min 47 sec one is very obvious! Seems a very localised "issue" but I don't know enough about video and compression techniques to know if this could be an artefact (in which case I'd expect it to be happening a bit more throughout the video). But I think to pass an opinion somebody would need to have more knowledge about video than I have. I just love conspiracy theories (love hearing them, not believing them).
So I suppose I'm "I think I don't know enough to form an opinion".

Thanks I wonder what John Pilger has to say about it.

These are all arguments that the law is wrong and he can not make it for that reason. Rather than it is not the Presidents place to enact temporary immigration policy for security reasons..
Seems that at least even Trump has accepted his executive order breaks the law/constitution

The President had said he was confident that his lawyers would win the argument before the country’s highest court – saying on twitter 'see you in court'. But against the risk that he could suffer his fourth legal setback over the ban on travel to the US for people from seven Muslim-majority countries, the White House announced it would not for now pursue the legal battle any further.

Well, clearly, either you're too young to have watched Bewitched, or your memory's not what it should be. Her usual party piece wasn't tweaking her ear, but twitching her upper lip.
Ever since, I've wondered how she pulled it off. I've tried and no way can I manage it. I can tweak my ear if hard-pressed.....

Maybe she needed a bit of ear tweaking to cope with this chap as her husband. Just a thought but was he a major influence on Donald???
