    It would be fantastic if that went to court and they proved the clip the White House posted was doctored……..I mean we all have eyes and can see it was, but in court it would be so much more delicious

    Unfortunately I suspect that with a partisan supreme court the most likely outcome is that freedom of the press is suppressed without even needing to change the law, IMO CNN have fallen into a trap that actually strengthens the use of propaganda.

    Did you see Kellyanne Conway admitting on Fox that the Whitehouse Acosta video is sped up, but apparently that is okay?

    ″By that do you mean sped up?” Conway asked. “That’s not altered. That’s sped up. They do it all the time in sports to see if there’s actually a first down or a touchdown.”

    Apparently been holed up with his lawyers for the last few days, hence his somewhat tetchy mood.

    It’s Friday, let’s hope for some Mueller activity.

    I read this morning that Fox News is supporting the CNN legal action against the White House. Given their pro-Trump stance, that must sting.

    Trump has been told by a judge to give the CNN reporter back his press pass back – https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46240975 Has he managed to get the toys back in the pram in time for this flounce?

    Love the quote from Sarah Sanders – “There must be decorum at the White House,”

    “No, no,” Trump said in Chico when asked if wildfires’ devastation changed his opinion on climate change. “I have a strong opinion. I want great climate. We’re going to have that. And we’re going to have forests that are very safe. Because we can’t go through this every year.”

    Jesus! If you were told that quote was from a 5-year-old you’d believe them.

    Found video.

    He literally said it’s because they haven’t been raking up the leaves. I absolutely love that.

    The latest wildfire theories. Quite apart from Trump blaming everyone except his own budget cuts to Federal forest maintenance preventing undergrowth control, and no mention at all of PG&E’s woefully inadequate maintenance of their electricity grid causing 17 out of the last 21 wildfires, these theories seek to blame dark government forces!

    He was criticising firefighters for something or other – based on his deep understanding of firefighting techniques I suppose. Strikes me that is even dumb by his standards, as firefighters and nurses are generally politically untouchable.

    California will never vote Republican, Trump will say pretty much what he wants knowing that the Trump supporters in Montana and Utah, think the same as he does and are nodding along.

    He’s also been on record saying he easily answered Mulluers questions, which means (as we all know) that he couldnt answer them and has asked his new attorney general to starve the enquiry of cash instead (which the new AG was reported as looking at on Sunday) so that’s the end of that.

    And now he is slagging off the SEAL General in charge during the hunt for finding Saddam and killing Osama. Apparently it took too long to find Osama.

    The most surprising thing about Trump is that he still surprises us.

    So you can get away with murder if you have the financial means to buy off the US government?, no surprise really……..

    How about a crowd funding campaign to buy a saudi killer squad to go after trump?

    Yeah to be fair at least Trump is honest in his “screw Human Rights and justice, this is about money” rhetoric.

    We are far too polite to admit to something so crass.

    It’s just a small step from ordering you troops to shoot unarmed civilians at a border, to shooting a protesters in your own cities.

    To quote Tony Benn. “The way a government treats refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it.”

    Nice reassuring bit of news there. It can’t be true as Trump doesn’t believe it. Therefore all is well with the world.

    Is that a real tweet? The global warming one?

    There’s a line from Dale in the pilot episode of “King of the hill” where he says, “Bring on global warming, we’ll grow oranges in Alaska!”. I watched that last night and thought, “who does that sound like?”.

    I’m hardly surprised any more…
