Just as we think things could not get worse, Oprah Winfrey is now favourite to succeed Donald at the White House. Jerry Springer has not yet entered the race.

Why don’t they just vote in Alfred E. Newman and have done with it!

Having spent yesterday in London I can assure the Donald that it is certainly not us who have all the Norwegian immigrants he is seeking.

BBC pidgin sums up things well - unless you are 'ginger' (NO. This is NOT a spoof account!)

Courtesy of the Times - strange system they have in the US that allows this to happen.
Last ditch efforts to prevent a US government shutdown proved fruitless as late night as negotiations failed to find the 60 senate votes needed to pass a new spending bill. The Senate’s rejection of the bill means many non-essential government workers will be told to stay home until a funding deal can be worked out. Opponents of the budget said it failed to balance spending and would be only a prelude to further negotiations as the next deadline approached on February 16. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democrat leader, visited the White House yesterday for a last-ditch attempt to avert a the shutdown — an unprecedented event with a Republican president and Republican-controlled Congress.
On Thursday the House of Representatives had passed a bill that would temporarily fund the government for a month, but Senate Democrats and some of those on the Republican side threatened yesterday to block it. Mick Mulvaney, the budget director, insisted that the president was “actively working right now to prevent a shutdown”, and had been feverishly calling politicians throughout the day in search of a deal. A White House official said that Mr Trump would not leave Washington until a temporary budget was passed.
The Senate only managed 50 of the required 60 votes to pass the bill; Republicans hold 51 seats. At least three Republican senators — Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Jeff Flake of Arizona and Rand Paul of Kentucky — had said they would not back it. The House will be adjourned over the weekend and is not expected to meet again until January 29 unless an emergency session is called.
The last US shutdown happened in 2013 and lasted for 16 days. Essential services, including national security, post, air traffic control, inpatient medical services, emergency outpatient medicine, disaster assistance, prisons, taxation and electricity production will continue to operate.

Fans of the bizarre will be delighted to know that the President will be visiting our shores this year. A great chance for those who like to wear hair shirts to breast beat about his tweets whilst holding a banner somewhere in Central London.

Mr Bibby, please summarise what you believe to be the truth.
Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.

The issue isn't whether the videos were 'correct', but whether the accompanying descriptions were. And they weren't. That's the racist bit, in case you missed it:

I don't see the problem with the president retweeting videos.
all trump did was expose the fact that homosexuals are being slung off building for being homosexuals, and some Christian statues are being looted and destroyed to upset some people.
and some people are being attacked in the street because they are not followers of Islam, and the other way around.
tommy Robinson has published a book exposing some pretty nasty things in the book of Islam,, he has never been challenged in the courts for this publication or been proven wrong.
