interestingly, if you watch the video of Bercow, the applause is all on the right. NOBODY on the left is applauding.

The thing is, what does he expect?

He must know that

1. He really didn't win the popular vote.
2. many, many people voted for him as the least bad option.

Since then he has made absolutely no effort to broaden his appeal.

Of course he is unpopular.

However, by drawing attention to his unpopularity he is making it bigger news.

What has happened to labour!?

A while ago someone in some interview or other predicted that Trump would quickly become bored and frustrated with being president.
I'm wondering if that is whats happening.

Even so...conspiracy or clusterfuck?
evil plan or epic fail?

I was at uni with someone like that. He just seemed to be on a mission to piss everyone off by being totally rude and obnoxious. You don't go to a Scottish uni and slag off d Orlando, the scots and the Scottish education system.There may've been a delegation to the head of course requesting that noone had to be lab partner with him. Actually there was.

. @KellyannePolls was offered to SOTU on Sunday by the White House. We passed. Those are the facts.

Interesting article about Obama care repeal ginger. It sounds like they have spent years trying to come up with an alternative and so far failed to even draft something. Yet there are still GOP reps wanting to just repeal it. I am starting to think that they will just rename it, tweak it a bit and put it back out there

I think that's spot on
He's a narcissist and is hating all this criticism
His polices aren't his...they are president bannons
He doesn't really believe in anything except his massive ego.
His wife appears to actively loathe him and is currently not living with him (will that change?)
He has had to surround himself with vile creatures as the GOP beat him gone too
Pence has sold his soul - hope its worth it.

should be debate and vote on DeVos today.

Didn't bannon admit trump was just a straw man prior to the primaries?
I'm sure I read an interview with him where he basically said that.
In no Hilary fan but she would at least have been mostly ineffective - like Obama basically - without the majority support of senate or congress

Ah, yes!
Mrs amway!

Bigly I spoke to my (normal) sister and she stated that it's a decent program and generally it's a decent price. There are some that get high rates, but there are usually specific reasons for that (just like with any other insurance). She is not happy that they're trying to take it away. She also said it's quite popular where she is.

up to 55 lawsuits against Trump at this point.

Pence really is just a more polished Bannon with Trump tendencies. And sadly, he'd still probably be better than Trump. How frightening is that?

Can someone please tell me in very simple terms what Bannon's political ideology is? I keep reading about economic fascism or something and don't understand where the hell he is coming from.

Yes Mrs Amway, and her brother is Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater, the private mercenaries who ran much of the Iraq war

Sorry if already mentioned, but now it's Putin against Fox for calling him a killer in the Trump interview.
It's going well.

Also, regarding the confrontation between Trump and the Justice System. Does he think it will be something he'll settle out of court?

place marking - still following, still scared, still gobsmacked.

Didn't bannon admit trump was just a straw man prior to the primaries?

so they knew that his massive ego would only keep him going for a short while and then he'd be totally out of his depth and turn to his advisers for help
he then becomes a puppet for the people behind him because he doesnt want the humiliation of impeachment but he knows he's not up to running the show

Bercow:
"I would not wish to issue an invitation to President Trump to speak in the Royal Gallery.
"We value our relationship with the United States. If a state visit takes place, that is way beyond and above the pay grade of the Speaker.
"However, as far as this place is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons."

Kremlin is chancing it's arm because of Trump.

However, they are creating the impression that as well as wanting to control their own media, they now want to control American media.

Many republicans don't like Russia.

How can Trump play this in a way that doesn't look like a car crash?

GO BERCOW

Will be interviewed on @oreillyfactor tonight at 8:00 P.M

He didn't end his tweet with Enjoy!

That one word missing says so much about him at the moment

Morocco has joined in!!!

Mysterious deaths of Putin critics.

I think maybe, somewhere deep deep inside his tiny little mind, a dim little light has gone on that actually the majority of people don't agree with him and think he's a twat.

That little light he's been hiding from his whole life.

It can't be pleasant in there right now.
