It's been just over a week, and what a week. Amazing. So good. The best.

I've just asked DS "what else do you want?".

Trump may be a hot subject in this household.

That's fake news - but the thing about fake news is that it has to be believable enough to lure you in.

Sorry. Should have read on. Realised it's fake news (I think, seemed to fit with some of the "logic" spouted by the Emperors Minions).

Pence may well think that but there's no record of him actually saying he thinks would go and get raped on purpose.

I wouldn't be surprised if he thought women would accuse men of raping them, "just" to get an abortion.
That would be terrible for men, of course. Much more terrible than a woman being forced to carry a pregnancy for 9 months.

That scum-sucking pile of shite who had himself excused from the army because he had hurty feet thinks he's any right to be asking a 90yo woman who DID do War Service [obviously not seeing active service; though of course her sons, grandsons & husband all have!] & lived through fecking air-raids to stand about & watch him twit around because he fancies himself a statesman rather than a windsock that has, by some hideous explosion of diarrhoea by the Donkey Of Destiny, managed to become President of the United States... Jesus Mary & Joseph HAS HE NO SHAME?!

Terrific words. Great words. The bigly best words. Artichoke.

Theresa May has signed a new £100m defence deal with Turkey - just minutes after raising Turkey’s human rights record directly with the country’s president.

A religious test for entering our country is not reflective of America's fundamental values. I reject it.

That Ryan tweet is from July 2016. Didn't take him long to "about face" did it.

And this....

Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.

They fit well with Trump...

Exactly. Morals for sale. Cheap.

Loving this thread

The tapes of the two journalists analysing, with excerpts from hours of Trump interviews, are here:

The Trump Tapes, Part I: ‘He Doesn’t Know Himself’
The Trump Tapes, Part II: ‘Bottomless Pit of Need’

The tapes are also at

Neither needs a subscription.

I liked this photo from BadHombreLands:

A meme saying "If you think fertilised eggs are people but refugee kids aren't, you're going to have to stop pretending your concerns are religious."

Another amazing thread with all the great words!

I think we need to be careful to guard against fake news stories (the Pence one was horribly convincing). Alternative truths help no one.

I feel in shock with just how much has happened since the inauguration.

Following the best thread. Amazing.

I cannot believe that green card holders are being prevented from entering the US #muslimban. This is madness!

oh god the tweets
such low rent puerile behavior from such a wealthy powerful man

I was watching the news about Trump and refugees and visas and thought i was annoyed

Then i saw your post about the golf!!!!!

Fffuuuuccckkkksss ssssaaakkkeeee!!

Was in our local, nice quiet night, a friend mentioned Trump...and i said, unfortunately quite loudly, "he is a cunt"

I've watched pausingFlatly's links and oh my golly good god, I'm a bit speechless. I had them on in the background whilst cleaning and tidying up.

He is a man who is so needy it's untrue. First pod goes through his childhood, second one the result of it. He reminds me of an ex of mine from a long time ago who was definitely a sociopath. Always having to win, always having to be right, keeping score of anything that might affect him, never forgetting a person who says or does something wrong to him and paying them back even years later, being unable to show empathy, being unable to accept disagreement... the list is endless. A very very damaged individual.

Well worth listening to, thanks Pausing.

Place marking so I can follow this easily. Liking this thread bigly.

(And finding it most informative, in a most un-Trump-like actually factual in the original meaning of the word "fact" kind of a way).

President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel's southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea 🇮🇱🇺🇸

From an article:

As confusion reigned over what the order meant and how it would be applied, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security made a striking admission when she told Reuters people holding so-called green cards, making them legal permanent US residents, were included in the ban.

There is a protest at JFK NY, with info spreading wildly over twitter, telling people to come join the protest. Some of the people detained are being held there.
