I read it as a joint decision ginger. I assume any dates or changes need to be discussed by both parties.

Why do I worry that articles like this will push Bannon into Holocaust level reactions?? Sad

I think I may have to have to take a break like others have done.

I just can't handle how everyone's suddenly praising him despite knowing, factually, everything he's said and done up to this moment, and that the speech itself was full of lies and mistakes.

It's like everyone's happy to just give in and be dictated to, and relieved that at least the monster in charge can act less embarrassingly for a few moments.

I don't get it - at all. Is it just me feeling especially despondent right now?

Cussing You're not alone. I feel the same way, but have to keep on. I think within a day or two, he will show his true self again (or Bannon's true self Hmm) and then people will realise it was an act.

If you look at the picture in the article I linked to just above, look at the faces on Ivanka and her husband. Do they seem inordinately pleased at this? Smug? Seems a bit creepy.

I had to stop watching the video just halfway through, as Paul Ryan's "nodding dog with face indicating constipation" impression was far too distracting.

Re the delay of the visit.

Maybe HM raised such a stink about having to entertain Scrotus that they're hoping she's still at Balmoral so they'll have an excuse for not throwing at State Banquet.

"Oh so sorry Scrotus, it appears Her Majesty will not be in residence at Buck Palace during your visit. Sad."

The Government has suffered a #Brexit Bill defeat in the House of Lords over guaranteeing the rights of EU nationals living in the UK

CussingQuim · 01/03/2017 18:55

I don't know how reliable this is, or even if it's just even more bloody depressing than usual, but I think this writer is suggesting Trump won thanks to voter suppression of common names which affected millions of African-American, Hispanic, and Asian voters, and that he'll win next time too for the same reason.

GingerIvy · 01/03/2017 18:57

I'll read that, although I suspect it's regarding the voter suppression they've been slowly implementing, the bastards. Angry

This is exactly why he needs to be out of office ASAP.

FFS if PRUITT is concerned about the cuts, they must be deep indeed. Pruitt's concern for the environment is practically nonexistent.
