One word: EUGENICS

That's the sort of legislation that comes from the pen of 'Well I went to school myself, so I know all about education' people.

'There is, potentially, bad trouble there. This may be the first time that 45 will meet someone who genuinely doesn't care what 45's position is. '

Another thought re North Korea.

It's a strange old world when there is the possibility of Kim Jong-un saving the day. (Getting Trump so riled up he ends up almost doing something very stupid & gets thrown out out the WH.)

That's the sort of legislation that comes from the pen of 'Well I went to school myself, so I know all about education' people.

And the 'well, it worked for me so it will work for everyone' thought process.
Except not everyone is like you. Some people are different and have different needs. Sorry...that must come as a shock.

Sorry, I sort of went into a stream of consciousness aimed at the education sec. That wasn't aimed at anyone on this thread

What happens if he actually does that very stupid something though, Helsinki? He's dealing with a person who, as I understand it, is familiarly known as 'The Whack Job'. There are no good or easy options.

It's a strange old world when there is the possibility of Kim Jong-un saving the day

Or if it goes the other way and Trump ends up accidentally toppling the North Korean dictatorship and being hailed as a great freedom fighter

Well, if your going to be all realistic about it cozie ...

Oh, wait! I think this is definitely the moment Trump became truely presidential

Seriously I don't know but N Korean poison umbrella vacationing in Florida?

Disclaimer: I do not want anyone assassinated.

Having to take a break from it all for my mental health. Hope you're all keeping well in the land of TrumpFuckery!

Here is some more on the education stuff going through

Senate GOP votes to nix Obama-era education rules

That trademark thing is so disrespectful, Bigly.

Sorry - loose use of language there. I meant 'showing such disrespect'.

Has this been posted? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-impeached-four-grounds-labor-secretary-a7619906.html

Enough reasons to impeach him, just need them to actually do it.

I still think that they'll impeach - if they do - on...........'personal issues'.

What is Farage doing? Any thoughts?

I am re-placemarking. Can't keep up!

What is Farage doing? Any thoughts?

Being a national embarrassment? Desperately trying to make himself feel important and relevant again? Trying to do us all a favour by forcing Assange to leave the embassy and hand himself in just to get away from Nige? Probably just trying to persuade the Russians to still be his friend.

He really is a slimy, pathetic little weasel of a man (sorry, my apologies to all weasels out there). He makes me feel a bit sick just thinking about him.

What? Where did this come from? They are sneaking this out while everyone is conveniently distracted by that national insurance rise aren't they? Sneaky. I was starting to think that NI rise looked suspiciously cat shaped, it is just so obviously goady

Refugees applying to live in UK face being sent home after five years

He was only there for 40 minutes? Sounds like publicity to me.

Oh god.

Thanks for flagging that, Bigly.

Of course, this could be used to increase the number of refugees, given it lessens the UK's commitment. But of course it won't.

And I'm perfectly sure that the fact they've been out of the country of persecution will be used against refugees: the Home Office will ask for recent examples of attacks on them... which they won't have experienced because they've (thank god) been away in the UK.

I'm disabled and limited in what I can do. When I have an ATOS review coming up, I actively attempt things on the test list that I know will be dangerous for me - just so I have recent evidence that "doing X causes me harm."

The WH doesn't do ethics. Unbelievable.
