Theresa May speaks of 'pride and disappointment' as prime minister
Theresa May has told the BBC she will feel a "mixture of pride and disappointment" when she leaves Downing Street in 12 days' time.
In her final TV interview with political editor Laura Kuenssberg, the PM spoke of "frustration" at not seeing Brexit through and underestimating how "entrenched" MPs had become.While the country speaks of disappointment and embarrassment. Regardless of your stance on Brexit or how hard it was, how she handled it and her hubris were an international embarrassment for the UK. She was a terrible PM and while maybe no PM could have gotten Brexit over the line, it's hard to believe that any could have been worse at it than she was.

Not to be funny but they just went public giving the military loads of time to prepare. Morons lol
Follow on
Air Force spokesperson Laura McAndrews released a message to people thinking of actually trespassing in September
[Area 51] is an open training range for the US Air Force," she said in a release seen by the Independent. "We would
discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces," she continued, casually reminding any reader that there are probably quite a lot of guns on site.
The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets. -

And Trump was ticked off because the UK Ambassador bashed Trump for being inept in private leaked communications to the UK government, this attack on US Congresswomen is just additional proof of how inept Trump actually is.

His approach to making things better are more xenophobia for everyone and attempting to pass presidential decrees that people must attempt to ask for asylum in any third party country they've gone through before asking for asylum here.
Like what?

Makes perfect sense to me. If your in dire need of rescue and your home sucks, you go to your closest neighbor. One doesn't travel to another person thousands of miles and three countries away.
How does that satisfy the requirement of fear of persecution? It doesn't. Therefore it is not "seeking asylum"

Ilhan Omar may be a citizen but was not born in this country. So not so stupid after all. He is technically correct.

Ilhan Omar may be a citizen but was not born in this country. So not so stupid after all. He is technically correct.
He said it about four people, three of whom were born in the US. And he told them to go back and fix their own corrupt governments, which is himself. So not technically correct, nor smart. As incorrect and dumb as it gets. He totally burned himself and got it wrong, all in one go.
So not correct in any way, just because one single person in a group was born abroad doesn't make that "home", nor does it apply to others. Sorry, but this doesn't help make him "less wrong" in any way.
