On the execution of the first travel ban. I would like to see this report.

'The Department of Homeland Security's official watchdog is accusing his own agency of slow-walking the public release of a report about confusion that ensued earlier this year after President Donald Trump issued his first travel ban executive order.'

This is long but good.

Nothing good.

'President Donald Trump-appointed Pai’s plan would jettison rules that prohibit internet service providers from blocking or slowing web traffic or creating so-called paid internet fast lanes, the people familiar with the changes said.'

Excellent links Lion. Between you and Pain we have a crack team of news gatherers.

The article about Trump wanting out lifted my spirits temporarily, but there’s so many other opportunist wankers waiting in the wings...

That's for sure.

Biden twitter memes

(A Newsweek piece.)

I see reports that Mugabe has resigned?

Interesting times for Zimbabwe.

Looks like it.

And has Iran declared the end of ISIS? Ahead of the US? Stealing their thunder...

C'mon trump impeachment! Let's make it a hat trick!

I want to see Mugabe say it himself.

Resigned in a letter, apparently.

Prominent Zimbabwean opposition politician David Coltart tweeted: "We have removed a tyrant but not yet a tyranny"

^Words to live by.

“The US Embassy in Harare, the capital, said it was a "historic moment" and congratulated Zimbabweans who "raised their voices and stated peacefully and clearly that the time for change was overdue"

Has 45 tweeted about it yet?

I'm alone in the house and can't raise anyone (think they might be a bit busy just now!), so I'm having to make do with this:

The stance taken by ZANU PF appears to have been critical.

I'm just going to spend the evening with film from Zim on loop!
