Did someone say last night that Pence was still to go?

GingerIvy · 26/02/2017 14:56

I think this is a direct snub of the media (which is amusing, as I suspect most of them are glad he's not coming), but anticipate this is the way it's going to go now - he will utterly bypass all media except his lapdogs and that's it.

GingerIvy · 26/02/2017 14:56

I saw something saying that Pence would be going, but it's not been mentioned today on Twitter that I've seen.

These threads move fast. I have barely caught up with the last one. Thanks to those who seems to endlessly sift through the news to find snippets to post here. Muchly appreciated. Or maybe bigly appreciated.

Remember that 5yo boy they held in detention at the beginning of the Muslim ban for 4 hours in handcuffs because they said anyone could be a threat?? I don't recall seeing this at the time, but that boy was a US CITIZEN who lived in Maryland with his mother. His mother (who was travelling with him) is Iranian by birth.

Kyle Griffin Retweeted Donald J. Trump
The president—without citing any evidence—is just casually claiming another election was "rigged".

(Re the DNC chair)

cozietoesie · 26/02/2017 15:02

He might have had a 'tinted' name. That seems to be enough these days - although that Australian author's questioning beats me.

Lweji · 26/02/2017 15:02

Pence is probably going to prevent them from getting Baldwin to go as Trump.

It is frightening. Their problem is that they have to use 45 to do it, mainly. The timing doesn't help them either.

cozietoesie · 26/02/2017 15:07

These are all distractions as well. How is the investigation into the Russian connections going?

Hello Bigly! . Grin I've never tweeted until this last week or so. It's a whole new scary world! Very difficult to get things into 140 characters succinctly and to follow the back-and-forth sometimes.

On that note, George Takei just tweeted this, worth reading it and the subsequent ones by Anand Giridharadas who articulates how Trump is empowering racists.
