    From the video,
    As far as this place is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism, to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the house of Commons
    So, that's it. President Trump will not be allowed to address the joint Houses of Parliament.

    This arrogant ass, completely overstepped his responsibility and doesn't speak for anyone but himself. As a Speaker (Chairman) of the Commons he must not be biased in any way, and certainly shouldn't use the Commons to make political statements. There is at present a move to oust him from the Chair over this, and quite rightly so.

    Speaker Bercow has split the House and dishonoured his office
    http://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/02/s...ed-his-office/
    As soon as John Bercow said — of the speculative possibility that Donald Trump should address both Houses of Parliament — ‘I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and sexism’ meant that the speech should not take place, he was out of order. His strong feelings are irrelevant, and it is unparliamentary of him to express them. Mr Bercow says he was putting forward the views of many MPs. The phrasing of the question from the Labour MP Stephen Doughty, which prompted Mr Bercow’s answer, certainly suggests the thing was cooked up between them. But Speaker Lenthall did not say ‘as some MPs are pleased to direct me’: he was speaking of the will of the whole House. Mr Bercow took no steps to ascertain that will. As a result of his exaltation of self over role, ‘Now does he feel his title hang loose about him, like a giant’s robe upon a dwarfish thief.’
    Those running around shouting that Trump hasn't a clue what he is doing, he has no policies and hasn't a direction. They should remember that he has been in office 28 days!! Sure there have been problems, mostly through lack of experience in the decision making process of government, the travel ban being the most notable. But it is early days yet and you would expect it. Give him time to actually do something that you can really hate.

    It's FAKE news. Again.
    When you say it's fake news, are you saying that the memo was fabricated by the AP and that the people listed on it didn't have anything to do with the creation of the memo?

    As shown, the rate has been consistently the same since 1850, except for the fact it has started growing again.

    And then there's the astonishing fact that Al Gore seems to find a blizzard everywhere he goes. Too funny.

    There are no plans at present to use the National Guard to round up illegals. A discussion on such use, because other presidents have done it, is just being practical. this is just more fake news sensationalism.

    Cant we hate his stance on politics already as defended troughout his campaing? The way he handles things as so far, and the things he says he defends?
    I dont need to wait for him doing something, when there is President of the United states saying he wants to do a lot of things, i dont agree with.

    I find it amusing people trying to normalize Trump, when him , and this whole phenomena, is far from normal.

    Btw his lack of experience it isnt suprising. I said this here months ago and wa s refuted several times at the time, that Trump is no Politician.
    It showed back then, and it shows right now.
    And when i say this, i mean his total inexperience ever as apublic servant.
    So yeah it isnt suprising at all.

    And it isnt that he doesnt have a direction, its that his direction is dangerous, and aparently conflicting with the rules of Democracy. (By that i mean the rule of law, and procedure, yes that is also part of Democracy). In one way, it is due to his lack of experience (so yeah he doesnt have a clue on what he is doing on that front) and the other, is that his policies, as advertised, are meant to please, the lowest comon denominator, and his palls in business as well.

    his coment and defence of evank product lines, is also a show, his lack of experience, and disregard for Procedure,a nd aparently law, as well.

    And there is people expecting good coming out of Trump administration??!!

    I find it amazing, and amusing.

    You have a funny way to analize your own graphic... it cleary shows a gradual decrease of glacier mass on par with industrialization, since its revolution. And the sea level seems to increase folowing glacier shortning line and rising curvature.

    And it is ironic you saying it has nothing to do with Coal, oil, and gas use, as their curvatures seem to folow the exact same rising line, and curvature.

    Industrial revolution started bewteen 1820 and 1840, and its exactly when the the lines of sea level and glacier shortning begins to rise. Arround 1850 , wich is exactly within its time frame, for its effects to start showing gradualy.
    Industry and carbon emissions existed way before 1950 you see it isnt so much about hydrocarbon, but about the excess of carbon in the atmosphere, and the less and less flora to process it in our planet.... just saying....

    Odd that you didn't note the part of the graph that shows glacial ice is actually growing now. just sayin'.

    Right! for now... and the sea level is constantly oscilating, yet constantly increasing. If you look at the graph The glacier shorting line has some drops now and then as well, yet is constantly on the rise overal...
    Just because it is droping now, it doesnt prove the correlation is false. You have to wait a lot more years, and i mean a lot more to notice if the ice keeps forming for you to make the statment you were making.

    So far the big picture does show a correlation.

    If the oil, gas, and coal use keeps increasing, at same rates, and in the next several decades if not more, glacier shortning keeps droping, then you may have a case, to put foward.
    Right now, it simply isnt the case.

    Look without agendas here, im ambigous either, way, but i still know how to analize a Graph. i better!

    If you are counting on reciting written words fed by a teleprompter, and then that stops unexpectedly, it might be a little bewildering. You dont get to a place in life that he has been, even before politics (or perhaps especially given that he was a ing lawyer), by not being a good orator.

    During his time as POTUS I did find him to be a bit dry outside of major speeches. I didn't find his ability to create context or fill in vital blanks, all that compelling. Especially when it came to his geopolitical positions. He was either being coy, even at the end, or did not have firm beliefs on complex issues I always wanted to hear more from him on. I never found Obama to be a must listen for those reasons. And I personally found his mannerisms and voice slightly annoying. But he was perfectly good public speaker by any standard.

    It hasn't even begun.. his latest tweet calls several significant US media outlets as Fake News and enemy of the american people! He actually did it! He's very bold..

    If you are tired of Trump already, that's some bad news for you. His presidency is still taking shape. Better improve your stamina. One can't build a powerful wall in just a month while being busy.
    That said, Trump is obviously a good schemer with above average self discipline to put his plan in practice.
    He wants to challenge globalism, that in itself has some merit. We got trapped here in eurocrisis for almost a decade now big part due to getting too enamored with the false song of globalism..

    It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

    Im saying a memo draft and implementing a draft as an action are two completely different thing. AP article made it seem like a done deal when in reality it hasn't made it out of committee.

    So apparently the hoax about National Guard being used to round up illegal immigrants was an elaborate ploy to identify the leaker. In other words, Trump played the corporate establishment by using a trick from a fantasy book.
    This, in itself, tells us everything we need to know about America's "intelligence community".

    Otherwise, they wouldn't have fallen for a trick from a fantasy book and a popular TV show.

    Doesn't seem as stupid as non-intelligent "intelligence agencies" that fell for a trick from a popular TV show. Flynn is a bloody genius, if compared to some morons from FBI/CIA who fell for a Game of Thrones gag.

    Here's an article you really should read. It's a portent of things that will be coming out this year revealing just how fraudulent the man-made global warming theory is. Manipulating data to create a false data set is not science:

    The thing about climate change is that it is totally out of our (Western countries) hands. Even if we assume the populist notion that climate change is caused by human activity, such activity would still be generated from China and India, while Western environmental standards are strict as they are.
