@tedlieu
Diamond and Silk are testifying before the House Judiciary Committee. Why? Because the #GOP seems to want to regulate content on the Internet. Very bad idea. It would also be unconstitutional.

I think it is good to know too. Otherwise it's a war you do not realise you are actually fighting. Smile

That call to Fox was...something. What was it? Ill-advised, anyway.

BBC Breaking news - Trump to visit UK on Friday 13 July 2018 White House says. Anyone superstitious?

Wow. Bravo to @CommonsCMS who have issued 4th summons to Zuck saying Facebook CTO failed to answer 40 separate qs today. Why was he even there? MPs were asking about integrity of our democracy. Facebook's CTO talked about "product". Something profoundly wrong here

Nostalgia. Smile

I love the picture with the little boy.

'You’ve probably seen the photos: a 5-year-old boy patting the president’s head, the tense scene in the Situation Room during the mission against Osama bin Laden, the look on the president’s face as he receives awful news. The Obama presidency was largely captured, and came to be visually defined, under the close watch and photographic craftsmanship of Pete Souza.'

13th July is the date then. Trump visiting and a March going on. It couldn't be a better day for me as I'm up in London anyway Smile

SanFranBear · 26/04/2018 18:57

Will he be in London on the 13th? If it's Scotland, I won't be able to protest directly but I'm sure there'll be something happening in the capital?

I'm booked off anyway Grin

SanFranBear · 26/04/2018 18:58

We could have a thread meet-up? I need to start thinking of a witty and stylish sign

I‘ve started saving up the eggs now....

It's not that big a place--nowhere to hide.

Sources: British govt working on plans to possibly keep Trump's big meetings OUTSIDE of London during his July visit, to minimize inevitable protests. Eg. Meeting with Queen at could be at Windsor; with May at Chequers.

Oh my golly good god.

BREAKING NEWS from WSJ, leaked documents from Walter Reed Hospital shows @POTUS weight is 289 lbs, BP is 154/91, cholesterol is 237. Not quite the healthy person we were told. At 71, #Trump could drop dead any time.

Dr. Ronny Jackson reported him at 239 lbs. That is 50 lbs different, i.e. over 3.5 stones more.

Roussette · 26/04/2018 19:26

My DCs are talking about their signs all ready for the visit!

lionheart · 26/04/2018 19:28

I don't know if the WSJ actually published that one Roussette.

It may have been a fake or a proper leak deliberately attributed to WSJ.

The doctor's report on Trump's health was definitely fake though. Smile

At 71, #Trump could drop dead any time.

Sure, with his grueling schedule. All that golfing takes a toll. He should stay more at the WH to rest a bit.

Maybe one more fake news will hit the heart attack point of no return.

I shall keep a lookout for more info lion Grin. He looks 20stone I have to say.

I watched the beginning and the end of the Trump/Fox interview. He was more incoherent than usual and they had to cut him off at the end and that's Fox!

WSJ: Mike Pompeo confirmed as Secretary of State

mackerella · 26/04/2018 19:59

Why doesn't this suprise me? Hmm

Trump days he's been too busy to get Melania a birthday present

When asked during a telephone interview on Fox & Friends what Trump bought the first lady for her birthday he responded with a laugh," Well, I better not get into that 'cause I may get in trouble. Maybe I didn't get her so much."

Trump added that he did get the first lady "a beautiful card and some beautiful flowers."

"You know, I'm very busy to be running out looking for presents, OK?" Trump said.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/04/2018 20:04

I'm already looking at how I can reschedule work so I can be wherever Trump goes during his visit. Even if he does everything from his Scottish golf course I'll be there, lurking in the dunes brandishing a placard.

lionheart · 26/04/2018 20:30

I quite fancy a trip to Scotland. I think the city marches will go ahead wherever he ends up lurking.
