In that case all evidence points to them giving the public too much credit.

US citizens should be refused visa-free access to the EU in response to American visa rules affecting citizens from five EU countries, the European Parliament has said.

Citizens of Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania are currently denied visa-free access to the US.

The European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution on Thursday.
However, member states would have to approve the move, a process that could take years.

Nevertheless, the resolution, passed by a show of hands, said the new visa rules should come into effect quickly and should remain in place until the US visa requirements were shelved.

Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and now a senior adviser, also participated in the meeting at Trump Tower with Mr. Flynn and Sergey I. Kislyak, the Russian ambassador. But among Mr. Trump’s inner circle, it is Mr. Flynn who appears to have been the main interlocutor with the Russian envoy — the two were in contact during the campaign and the transition, Mr. Kislyak and current and former American officials have said.

But the extent and frequency of their contacts remains unclear, and the disclosure of the meeting at Trump Tower adds to the emerging picture of how the relationship between Mr. Trump’s incoming team and Moscow was evolving to include some of the president-elect’s most trusted advisers.

Why not? I think that's fair. Any country can determine what visa rules they have for whatever other countries. For example the Chinese passport can go to 50 other countries visa-free. Only 12 passports can enter China Visa free.

In comparison Canadians can travel to 100 countries visa free. 172 countries with no visa or get a visa upon arrival!

The EU exclusion list for the U.S. though, looks more like a list of countries that pissed Russia off when they joined the EU.

We have Romania and Bulgaria on our list too. "Technically" they're to be removed ... but not yet, and they were there for a long time.

That whole episode is awesome (if you like Conan, if you don't, don't click here, and if you do, and don't like it, don't come back and say it wasn't funny).

In this segment he hits the streets to drum up some money for Trump's beautiful wall.

Yes. And they can change the rules anytime they see fit which is what the EU is suggesting.

Not a bunch of tweets, rather, a Facebook message. New strategy?

Forget the private account, he should be locked up for using AOL Mail. Does he still use his free AOL CD's too?

He just posted the same thing on Twitter as well, but he's only half-way through it. As usual it's taking him forever to finish the message.

He's just obsessed with the Dems losing the election and how they're out to get him.

I love the part about Sessions lying, but not meaning to. Okay, I guess that's totally fine then. Nothing to see here.

The "losing their grip on reality" line is pretty hilarious as well, especially coming from a guy who's entire administration is living in their own special made-up reality built on constant lies and bulls--t.
