Shock We can start whole new threads for less than $26,000,000.

This one only cost 23p I found down the back of the sofa:

Melania Trump has parted ways with adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff after news broke about Wolkoff’s firm reaping $26,000,000 in payments to help plan Trump’s inauguration, NYT reports.

Although obviously it would have cost £23.00 to £46.00 if it were a thread about Hillary.

I bet we were 100x to 200x her. We had CPMs that were pennies in some cases. This is why @realDonaldTrump was a perfect candidate for FaceBook.

Hope this @playbookplus excerpt is inaccurate. I’d hate to have to reprioritize money from the $20 million plan to connect Americans to the benefits of tax reform to fight against a BAT again. #TaxReform

Thank you Perking very current and apt! Grin

I would want a small military parade, flotilla in the harbour and a fly past for that kind of money.

Apparently, the 'without prejudice' part means that the charges could be refiled if need be.

On the chicken front please note I did not crack this time. Smile

And thanks for a brand new thread. Gin

Beside the point but doesn't Cyber Command sound all sci-fi?

Thanks for the new thread.

I rather fear I have some sort of Trump-exhaustion. I don't know how much more I can take. Think I may need to step away for a while.

Is there a countdown clock to the estimated date of him leaving the whitehouse?

Recharge, bluesky. Everyone needs a breather once in awhile or it gets too overwhelming Flowers

A bipartisan group of senators have re-introduced ‘No Fly, No Buy’ legislation, which would prohibit known or suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms.

Federal judge rules DHS can't randomly revoke DACA protections

California U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez ordered a nationwide injunction on Tuesday, which blocks the Trump administration from arbitrarily deporting or removing work permits from DACA recipients "without notice, a reasoned explanation, or an opportunity to respond." ACLU had filed the lawsuit on behalf of three "Dreamers" whose visas were revoked without reason.

Why it matters: There was some concern that "Dreamers" could still lose status on an individual basis even after the earlier injunction blocking DACA from ending. This ruling treats DACA more like a green card than "prosecutorial discretion"— it can't be taken away unless the immigrant does something illegal that would get them deported.
