Apparently this has already happened, back in July 2017.

But the orange one try again...

I am not watching the Superbowl and on Twitter it sounds a nihilistic shitshow. MLK is being used to sell cars? Trump nuclear war jokes to sell grills? All this is actually happening?

And

That MLK excerpt comes from “The Drum Major Instinct” speech, part of which warns against the dangers of unwise consumerism, and ends with King imagining his own funeral. So yeah, that commercial is as crass and gross as you were thinking.

The House Intelligence Committee plans to consider the Democratic rebuttal memo on Monday, two sources tell Reuters.

GOP pressures Trump on Taiwan as China issues threats

The president faces pressure from Taipei's Republican allies to take a harder line that infuriates Beijing, which has threatened to invade its island neighbor.

Worth revisiting what Harry Reid wrote Comey on 10/30/16. In retrospect, clear he’s referring to Page, Papadopoulos et al. He knew. McConnell did too. Same briefings. @AJentleson @jamespmanley

I hope all went well. Still waiting?

Meanwhile, in SA, the ANC is discussing whether to remove the current President or not.

I'm dreaming of similar news with GOP instead of ANC.

And in Italy, candidate Berlusconi takes a leaf out ofTrump's book:

"Silvio Berlusconi has pledged to deport 600,000 illegal immigrants from Italy should his centre-right coalition enter government after elections on 4 March, as tensions simmer over the shooting of six Africans by a far-right extremist on Saturday."

"The 81-year-old rightwing former prime minister said in a TV interview that immigration was a “social bomb ready to explode in Italy” and that the shooting in Macerata posed a security problem."

Yes, because immigration is the problem, not far-right extremists.
