so if the agreement is non binding, why pull out and have the world think you're becoming insular?

Is it just to show the voters he does what he says even if it's all just for show?

Must be part lip service and part thumbing his nose at the world.

I have noticed that the media people say whatever comes into their heads. Much of the professionalism is gone. They speak their mind on air, and are rarely held accountable. And I am not talking about the opinion sections. I am referring to news readers. They are supposed to read the news and keep their personal opinions to themselves.

The legal definition of slander differs slightly when talking about celebrities though. This includes politicians as well. They usually get away with it.

There are examples of left and right leaning media types doing this, but the one that aggravates me the most is Jake Tapper. Okay, so you don't like Trump. Remember that he is the president of the United States. Do your job without all the whining, rude interruptions and accusations. Quite a piece of work, he is.

there is no such thing as journalistic integrity. Half the news still calls it a 'muslim' ban when its not banning muslims. Words don't have any meaning anymore. I refuse to listen to the news because it sounds like the 'reader' is desperate for you to feel as they do about whatever news item they are reporting on. It's horrific.

Yes, it seems that they have lost their integrity. I don't know if it will ever come back. In the meantime, little can be trusted from all the news sources.

I like Jake Tapper.

....and he is doing his job.

Do you want someone to slobber all over the president?

Then watch RT.

The courts don't see it your way.

Why did the courts suspend Trumps orders?

because they were unconstitutional.

but this muslim ban they talk about isn't a muslim ban. It's a people of specific countries ban. Saudi muslims can travel as they like. A yemen christian can't.

which is what I was referring to with the news. Saying it's a muslim ban is incorrect, it's giving people incorrect information.\

Sure....that could be argued.

The Saudis produced the 9/11 attackers....btw....besties now....touch the orb.

The countries in question provide none.

What's the purpose of this travel ban then?

I have no idea. I figure trumps trying to keep muslims out, without pissing of his partners in business. Maybe its to keep his supporters happy? Make a name for himself? Maybe the saudi told him to?

Do you know? I've read some articles about it, but trump spews without thought and lies as fast as he breathes......

Why would I argue with what you just said?

Perfect statement.

Who knows?...this guy.

Love him.....daily snickers.;-)
