I reached a nadir a few days ago when I thought 'I can't watch this anymore' but reading about that Sri Lankan student and the woman that woman linked to who has lived here for 27 years, is married to a British citizen and has 2 British children and a British grandchild who may not be able to join her husband in the U.K. who she cares for, has fired me up. I will sign every petition, go on every march/protest and write to/email my MP about everything

I don't want this government to interpret people's silence as tacit approval.

You don't send leaks from the white house on your own device FFS

Also, everybody knows that you meet in a dark garage or a park.

I hope Spicer doesn't spot any staffers dissing Trump on MN. Grin

An outdoor ad for the NYT on the photo. It works for most media too.

I think everyone on both "sides" would agree with that, so a bit of a pointless battle cry - they'll just have different ideas of what is true.

But I guess good for them for trying?

Bits of paper or face to face are still the most secure method of sharing data. I wouldn't be surprised if a proportion of these leaks are getting out by someone from the white house staff bumping into someone from the press at the local Starbucks. Sometimes the old ways are the best.

Who could blame him?

CussingQuim · 26/02/2017 17:45

Yes - the banner could have said something like that. Just saying "truth is important" won't change anyone's minds - if you follow it you'll have an opinion, if you don't you're no more informed or provoked into finding out more.

(As you know by now, I'm no Trump fan, but ideally billboards say something rather than assert generic tautologies, don't they?)

Here we go. I await a lot more of those type of statements from the press.

Trump will then pick his own media and address the nation via FB as he has been.

But.... it will chip away at his supporters... not all of them are die-hard.
