It is fascinating how Brexit and Trump's election have brought out the same idiocy.

2016 was a great year for Western civilization, and I have a lot of empathy for my Brexit brethren.
Here's one of my FAVORITE pictures, by the way.

Saturday, November 12, 2016: President-elect Donald Trump and (vindicated) UKIP leader Nigel Farage meet at Trump Tower in New York City.
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"The sheer freakishness of the image enhances its grip on us, for we can’t stop staring at this monstrously matey exchange of bonhomie in a lift lined with gold. Trump’s almost beatific post-electoral grin is matched by The Nigel’s starstruck guffaw."

🤣

I see this mistake a LOT.

"12PM" and "12AM" aren't times.

The "M" in "AM" and "PM" stands for "meridiam," as in a divider. The strike of 12 noon divides the day into before noon (AM) & after noon (PM) parts.

Use 12N, or use 12:01PM.
Use 12M, or use 12:01AM.

If you use "12AM" or "12PM," it's ambiguous. Using "midnight" can also be ambiguous.

If you say, "Wednesday at 12AM," what does that even mean?!
1. Wed noon?
2. Tue midnight leading into Wed?
3. Wed midnight leading into Thu?

If you say "Wed at 12:01AM," that's unambiguous. 👍
P.S. "By convention, 12AM denotes midnight and 12PM denotes noon."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_c…

I think that "convention" is due to so many people making the mistake over and over again, and so we just accept it.

I DON'T ACCEPT IT.

When @MZHemingway recommends that you read a @VDHanson article "now," you know that it's beyond stellar, so you drop everything and read it.
"Instead of presuming Trump innocent unless he finds evidence of Russian collusion, Mueller started with the assumption that the reckless raconteur Trump surely must be guilty of some lawbreaking. Thus, it is Mueller's job to hunt for past crimes..."
realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/…
"As a result of wrongful conduct, more than a dozen officials at the FBI and DOJ have resigned or retired, or were fired or reassigned. Yet so far none of these miscreants has...faced the same legal scrutiny that Mueller applies to Trump associates."

It was constitutionally required to CONSENT to seat Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court?
"Art. I, Sec. 5 states that “Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings.”...the Senate has established rules that allow it to refuse to vote on a nominee...just as it can refuse to vote on bills, treaties, or any other business..."

"...Democrats held up George W. Bush’s nomination of Miguel Estrada...for over two years, until he was finally forced to withdraw without ever getting a vote of any kind. They did so because they had concerns about Estrada’s judicial philosophy..."

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

1. This is only speculation but it is my belief that the USA will not allow the WTO to fold, but they will frustrate it and keep it on life support for as long as it exists for tactical reasons - and it has a lot to do with the EU. (#Brexit thread)
2. The EU puts on a front as a good global citizen, incorporating WTO conventions verbatim into the DNA of its trade agreements. There is a convergence as the EU rightly sees it as a vehicle through which it can expand its influence.
3. What the USA does not want to do, though, is go through the process of aligning its own system of standards and rules to the global norms not least because they would cede control of their own systems but also because the USA is notoriously protectionist.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

#Trump was not elected president because he did not win the electoral vote via @RealTimBlack #TimBlackShow #Resist
#Trump used the same trick as George W did in Florida. By removing voters of color in 28 states, Trump supposedly won the electoral college.
