Just to remind you that Trump put the phone down on had a heated conversation with the Australian PM

Has put Iran on notice

Threatened UC Berkeley with withdrawal of funds if they 'promote violence'

Said something about troops and Mexico

Sean Spicer currently lying talking to the press corps

It means someone in the white house thought 'so we have a potential war with Iran, we're kicking off with China, Mexico totally hates us, what's left on your bingo card Fred? Fuck yeah! A missile crisis with Cuba! I knew we were missing something.'

Also Stephen Colbert about Trump's plagiarism of Footloose.
Please, Louise.

And the new SCOTUS of the SCOTUS.

I'm a subscriber.

So far he's pissed off the leaders of Australia, Sweden, France and other EU countries, to say nothing of every Muslim country in the world. Only Theresa May thinks it's actually worth being nice to him. What a clear indicator of desperation.

Gearing up for 2020 campaign... and you thought dead registered voters were your biggest problem @realDonaldTrump

And he didn't answer the approval polls question either - alternative facts that he came up with 2 that he says show a majority approval rating

That was so predictable - are there any shows like Newsnight or the Today programme where presenters ask hard questions and then ask them again if they think they are being misled?

Was that journalist asking about white supremacists? What's CPE? (I think it was CPE)

I'm surprised the British Government hasn't done an official video saying UK second...

Wow. I had no idea no many bad bad things (very very bad) were going on with Ivanka Trump's businesses. Sweat shops, lawsuits for copyright theft, refusal to give workers maternity leave, all sorts of shit. Nordstrom's just stopped carrying the line, which probably is a financial dent.

Reminder: There's a lawsuit against Ivanka Trump for blatantly stealing Italian shoemaker's copyright design @VA4Hillary1 @SheWhoVotes

Meanwhile, if you haven't seen it, on another thread the demonstrations against the ban and how it was implemented are hysteria.
It's always easy for those whose lives weren't ruined to dismiss these minor issues.

ami Yes she asked 3 or 4 times about white supremacists and he kept interrupting her saying their concern was radical islamic terrorists... then he finally said I'm not answering that question.

he dismissed all the demonstrations as hysteria as well. And implied that the couple violent things that happened were from the demonstrators - when all media have been reporting that the demonstrations have all been peaceful.

I feel just sick, waiting for these new EOs. Guarantee it'll be something ugly so he can disappear over the weekend and avoid the chaos.

I like the idea of re-purposing the word 'Solidarity from the Polish Solidarity movement. It signals people of all walks of life coming together for each other against a dictatorship.

Something that interests/concerns me - what will happen afterwards. Because when this madness ends - through whatever means - as it soon must, it's surely not going to go to 'Normal Service has Resumed'?

The Aftermath is as important as the current position, I suspect.

Who ya gonna believe? The State Department or the AG office? How about the lawyers that filed the paperwork??

When it comes right down to it, does it make a difference?? They said it maybe affected 109 people - this is between 60K and 100K people MINIMUM!!!

I'm not hugely familiar with them - possibly work visas??I know the tech industry is quite up in arms over them looking at changing them.

Probably been posted but unsurprising news:

Bosnia lie a Great reminder. And 2 @ChelseaClinton & others, you can't "invent" quality candidates either. I misspoke; you lost the election

woman conflicting reports on that - don't know if it's true or not. we've reached a point where nobody knows what is real anymore.

They said it maybe affected 109 people - this is between 60K and 100K people MINIMUM!!!

109 in, what?, one day? That's about 40 000 in just one year.

Donald Trump supporters are trying to boycott Budweiser

That won't last long.

It's over their advertisement, which I liked.

Apparently Conway meant so say 'terrorists' but said 'massacre'.

Funny - when the media make a mistake, Trump gets very upset and constantly refers to it - ignoring the other stuff.

See MLK bust as proof.

Is anyone else sick of seeing his smug smiling face everywhere yet?
