Just in case anyone is curious, CBC says it first cut the Trump cameo out of the movie in 2014 -- it says it cut eight minutes for TV length, seven seconds of which were the Trump cameo, and the shorter version has aired annually since. People started tweeting about this in 2015.
And, obviously, the prime minister does not personally edit Christmas movies that air on CBC. (I know I'll get some LOL YOU'RE FACT-CHECKING A JOKE replies, but some people on Twitter and on Fox News have taken this as a serious political matter.) thewrap.com/fox-news-panel…
Here are some non-Trump things viewers have complained about CBC cutting out of Home Alone over the years: "Kevin going swimming"; "THE TURTLE DOVE EXCHANGE"; "the homeless guy's scene"; "John Candy's lines regarding the funeral home."

This concludes my Home Alone reporting.

Biden today repeated the falsest version of his claim about where he’d stood on the Iraq War (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…).

He did not oppose it “from the very moment” Bush went ahead. As @kfile and I have written, he supported the invasion before and for months after it happened.
You can read @KFILE’s debunking of Biden’s similar previous comments here (cnn.com/2019/09/04/pol…). This is now a repeat false claim from him. (And he recently did a less-false but still misleading version, which I wrote about here: cnn.com/2019/12/31/pol….)
Trump has made similar claims, also falsely saying he opposed the war from the beginning when he actually came to his opposition well after the invasion. Trump’s version, naturally, has extra flourishes — he claims his (nonexistent) pre-war public opposition got media coverage.

Biden denied yesterday that he’d advised Obama not to go ahead with the bin Laden raid.

He said in 2012 that he told Obama “don’t go” without more info. In 2015, he started saying he’d said “go.”

A look at what he’s said and what others have said: cnn.com/2020/01/04/pol…
In Biden's 2012 account, he said he thought he owed Obama a firm opinion at a key group meeting, and had said "don't go" before doing more intel work.

In Biden's 2015 account, he'd said he'd never give Obama a firm opinion at a group meeting, so waited, and said "go" in private.
It's not possible to definitively fact check what Biden might have said in private to Obama, but Biden's 2012 and 2015 accounts are incompatible.

Trump begins at the Florida megachurch by saying that there are "thousands of people outside trying to get in." As usual, I would appreciate your help if you are outside and can let me know if this is true.
Trump says Charlie Kirk would be a "very good pastor." He then baselessly claims that all of the department stores were not saying Merry Christmas before he was president but are now saying Merry Christmas.
Trump positions himself among believers, against people supposedly opposed to faith and family: "Our traditions and our values are timeless and immortal. They don't know what they're missing. Right? They don't know what they're missing. Our faith is needed now more than ever."

Trump announces he has canceled a secret meeting at Camp David with Taliban leaders set for Sunday – three days before the 18th anniversary of September 11 –after a car bombing in Kabul nytimes.com/2019/09/07/us/…
Thread from a pre-eminent expert on Afghanistan & former senior advisor to the State Department's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan. (h/t @metaquest)
.@BRRubin nailed it.

"At Camp David, separate meetings with each side would then lead to a grand announcement by Trump.

The Taliban leaders, however, compared the proposal to the Americans’ tricking them into political suicide."

Trump's been roasting Congress since 1993 lol
the first half hehe

Trump has been the same person ever since he's been in public eye, and yet, the American people still elected him...

When will the Democrats learn?
1999 - Roger Stone talked about the decision of Donald Trump to form a presidential exploratory committee. He focused on Trump’s membership in the Reform party, & Trump’s agenda for his campaign.

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.

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
