So true from @AlisonJenner6

And, of course, it does not stop there.
3/. Business insider on that Trump interview and Murdoch’s relationship with both Trump and Gove.

businessinsider.com/rupert-murdoch…
4/ Then his sheer incompetence

Caustic tweet from Simon Fraser, ex Permanent Sec to U.K. Foreign Office and ex Chief of Staff to EU Trade Commissioner on Gove (& Raab’s) claim that Brexit could be done in 6 months

5/. Here’s a clip to the session from @Jim_Cornelius

6/. So do I think that Gove is suitable PM material on those issues alone?
No.
No I do not think that PM Gove, whispering to “journalist” wife Vine, Government business is OK, let alone providing a channel to Trump via Murdoch.

That would be a bad idea.

@brexit_sham has more
Then there is this proffered by @NarcAware

They (The Gov) simply cannot be trusted to do the things they say they will do, nor to enact the things the Commons votes on. May is caught in a death spiral. All roads lead nowhere. She cannot pass her deal but she will not kill it. politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/03/…
“She cannot soften Brexit to win the House, because it would cost her the party. She cannot think freshly, because she does not have the capacity. There is no solution that comes from Downing Street.”
“The only chance is for MPs to take control. And tonight is probably their last chance to do it.”

Anyone else feels dread because their confidence in MPs capacity to act wisely and exercise real clout is at rock bottom?

“In the days when we were hardly speaking to the Germans about Iraq, we still worked together to stop other members cheating on milk quotas. You never break up completely. The EU is a system of compulsory friendships.”
“When you choose to be an outsider, you are treated as one. The smallest insiders (Dublin in the case of Brexit) matter more than the biggest outsider (us). The systems we have helped build up over the years must be defended against outsiders seeking special privileges. “
There is no way of being half in and half out, no having cake and eating it. The dish turns out to be humble pie, anyway.

It is late to be learning lessons.

There are so many many ways of contributing even if you cannot March.

@SheRa_Marley, with her broken leg, could not go but spent the day pulling together news stories, photos tweets (I shall attach the thread).
But I have a special request of those that could not march.
The #RevokeA50 Petition is 65k off 5 million.

Would each person who could not march spend the equivalent time drumming up extra signatures outside of twitter and reporting back on what worked.

I have some ideas how we can use that information if a PV/GE

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/2415…
You can call it marching proudly with your keyboards, conversations, helping people not very IT literate to sign up, or maybe contacting someone who might be what @BestForBritain calls an influential “grass top” in the community who might influence others.

#Trump admin, #GOP: Please stop lying. We have the receipts.

Trump cult: Please stop citing Christian values as you support this cruelty. You make a mockery of the religion you claim to fervently follow. You know dang well this isn't how Jesus wanted us to treat each other.
As one who attended Catholic grade school all 6 years, I had the Bible and Jesus' words drilled into my brain. What the zealot "Christians" are espousing as religious values on people who are "different" than you - immigrants, LGBTQ, etc. - is a far departure from The Word.

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.

Now that McCabe is toast. let’s see how the media tries to spin it. This is the OIG report that nails McCabe to the wall. Two counts of perjury under oath and two counts of lying to the FBI. static01.nyt.com/files/2018/us/…
Fox: “DOJ IG releases explosive report that led to firing of ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe” foxnews.com/politics/2018/…
CBS: “DOJ Inspector General report on fired Andrew McCabe claims he "lacked candor” cbsnews.com/news/doj-ig-re… No mention of lying under oath

(1) Mr. Magoo huh? At first glance Trump seems unhappy with AG Sessions, and maybe that's so.

Has anybody ever seen Mr. Magoo? How do all of the "episodes" turn out? Is Trump really making fun of Sessions?

No! and I'll tell you why.
(2) First, let's look at Quincy Magoo! His portrait shows an experienced man, among other things. Here's a shot of the Wikipedia page on Quincy.
(3) "Quincy Magoo (or simply Mr. Magoo) is a
cartoon character created at the UPA
animation studio in 1949."

Sessions, was born in the late forties too. I imagine, if Quincy was real, they would be around the same age, and maybe even friends too.

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
