Does anyone else listen to Newsjack on Radio 4Xtra? Last night the presenter summed it up when she said she'd taken to getting up earlier just because she knew it meant a few more Trump-free hours.

That attempt to sell off an insane amount of Federal land I mentioned on the last thread? It's no longer going ahead: www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/feb/02/republican-selling-public-lands-bill-withdraw-jason-chaffetz?CMP=share_btn_tw

eating I just came on to post that link because it's properly shocked me. It's the epitome of FAKE NEWS. When is this lunacy going to end? Can't believe they are brainwashing/gaslighting Americans to this extent.
Link again for anyone interested

Surely Conway's statement is libel?

(Yonatan Zunger)

"You don’t need to be brilliant to be a danger to democracy; quite literally, an idiot could do it.
The most important thing you need to do is simply ignore the social norms by which others are playing. If people expect you to talk to the press, ignore the press; if they expect what you say to have meaning, speak nonsense; if they expect you to obey the law, ignore it. Rules are for suckers, the autocrat believes, and power is what you can get away with"

I am having trouble keeping up! We need one of those summaries like reastie puts at the top of the Christmas threads!

Off to read. I have eleventy billion article tabs open!

This:

Conway is saying there was a massacre in the US that somehow 'didn't get covered'????????????

I can't believe that enough Americans are so pro Trump/republican that they are prepared to put up with this stuff?

Surely there comes a point where you can no longer deny that Trump's administration is either incompetent or deliberately malevolent?

Saffron i finished reading The mandibles just before the inauguration. It was an uncanny hand that made me pick up the book at the library.

And last night, I spent half of my time fighting DT and make him leave the world in peace. Some nightmare it was!

What makes me absolutely furious about your link Louise... the Norway ex Prime Minister being detailed at Dulles airport is this...

"Bondevik said Dulles officials insisted he hadn’t been detained because of Trump’s order, but because of a 2015 law signed by Barack Obama placing some restrictions on travelers in the wake of terror attacks in Paris. But Bondevik told WJLA that his office had contacted the U.S. Embassy in Norway before his trip and he was assured that he would have no problem."

So wrong

*detained. Not detailed.

Haha new Budweiser ad really pissing Trump supporters off! They are a touchy lot...

Destinysdaughter plus Dove, beautiful, fact.

It shouldn't be a surprise he wants women to dress in a feminine way. If you recall some of the campaign trail comments.

Oh dear, Donald is tweeting again...

From RoguePOTUSSstaff twitter account.. (no reason not to believe it's genuine)

"We can confirm that POTUS is encouraging people to buy his brands in order to have the "right look" to work for his administration"

Well, I have long held that Budweiser was gnat's piss, but suddenly I'm moved to go out and buy a six pack!

"We can confirm that POTUS is encouraging people to buy his brands in order to have the "right look" to work for his administration"

What if they look at the label, and it says 'Made in China'? Will that be classed as being disloyal?

Did Sweden's deputy PM just troll Trump with a women-only parody picture?
