Trump's state visit to the UK is going to cost police millions to man the protests

SanFran DeVos tried to enter a school in DC and protesters wouldn't let her in. She had to leave. There was a video on twitter but I can't seem to lift it.

NT Times

"The concession was clearly designed to put an end to an extended chill in the relationship between China and the United States. Mr. Xi, stung by Mr. Trump’s unorthodox telephone call with the president of Taiwan in December and his subsequent assertion that the United States might no longer abide by the One China policy, had not spoken to Mr. Trump since Nov. 14, the week after he was elected

Did Trump misread the article and send an angry Tweet?

Okay. So we're clear.

1. No bathrobe. I wake up at 5am, and the jammies get put away and clothing gets put on immediately (after showering). So fully dressed. Honest.

1. My laptop is kinda open most of the day. The dcs use it for some of their home ed (so I collapse my windows) and I pop on and off between doing other things. This is more than I'm usually on, but the political insanity could affect me and my family in numerous ways (American), so I'm monitoring closely. Plus with home ed, this allows a (sanitised) discussion with dcs about political set up in the states and how the Constitution is followed (or not followed) and such. Very educational for them.

From Politico:

"Eileen Murphy, a Times spokeswoman, explained that the discrepancy stemmed from a combination of print deadlines and weather. The original version of the story was published just after 9 p.m. Thursday and was updated at 11:35 p.m., shortly after the White House emailed out a readout of Trump’s call with Xi"

He is so easily provoked. I think that is INCREDIBLY worrying - I want someone who is in charge of the world's most powerful army to think.

If I were a journalist, I would ask what that reaction showed about his impulsive behaviour and whether Twitter is an appropriate place for the President of the US to tweet an instant reaction?

This is handy for quick easy overviews of how the US government is set up. (home ed tool )

Whether he charges Abe or puts him up for free at his Mar-a-Lago fee-based club, it's unethical.

Weeds you are the best at linking videos. Amazing. Makes me bigly happy. Believe me.
Any chance of reposting the Namibia one?
P.s my world history is being helped greatly by these introduction videos. I think someone should pass an EO so that it is compulsory for everyone to do theirs.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing - it just adds ammunition to people. Protest is fine - I remember my school protesting about Kenneth Baker but the visit went ahead.

People need to do their job.

Government drops plans to let Trump speak to Parliament ind.pn/2kuBQwP

ami meh. I detest DeVos. I wouldn't want her hurt or threatened (I'm not evil, ya know) but they stood in her way and wouldn't let her enter. Nobody touched her. If she was that worried about what people thought, she wouldn't buy her way into the Cabinet for a job she is grossly unqualified to do.
