He’s still saying he’ll give an executive order to force government agencies to hand over their data on folks citizenship status though.

The BBC gave the very vague “legal experts” say he can’t overrule the SC with an executive order, so who knows.

Uh...

Just saw a Facebook ad from Trump, on his website, to see if I approve of him.

The ad says I’m one of his top supporters, despite, you know, actually thinking the best word to describe him is awful.

I expect in a few days to see him say his approval numbers are through the roof, best numbers ever, nobody has as high numbers as him etc.

She’s telling her party it’s a good idea to not air its dirty laundry in public, in an election year.

You will be showered with adoration and attention on that boat, you glistening beacon of manhood.

Yeah, perfectionism is the nemesis of good enough.

Do you know why people are upset? I assume it’s something to do with you applying for a promotion.

‘cause it doesn’t work for us! /naïveté

Still, the UK has been preparing for a no-deal for so long that I read something about warehouses getting full. So, when it does come, it'll likely end up being more of a controlled glide 'crash through' rather than the free-fall chaos scenario people fear.

The Tesco CEO (largest supermarket chain in the UK, IIRC 'cause I'm too lazy to check) pointed out that warehouse space is going to be more limited at the deadline in October because of all the seasonal stuff they're going to have for Hallowe'en and Christmas.

It'll be something to watch, for suresies.

It's a bit late for that though, innit? Even just in the Tory party there is huge division on what is the best course of action, and they were the ones that got to decide who could be the new Brexit Idol.

Consequently, this isn't your common-or-garden variety leadership contest. The EU have said they won't negotiate further on the deal that was agreed by the outgoing PM. This means Boris and Hunt have to convince parliament to vote for a deal that the former resigned over, and the latter supported but didn't really help.

Hunt also claimed Merkel said she'd be willing to renegotiate, but even if she was able to convince the other 25 or so members that was a good idea, he'd have three months to get a deal done - though he has said that he'd decide by the end of September whether or not there was a realistic chance of a deal, so two months - that took 18 months for May to receive the biggest government defeat in parliament in history.

The choice is May's deal or no deal. Maybe parliament will succeed in taking the reigns and stopping a no deal from going through, but that would probably force a GE and maybe the EU gives the UK another extension while trying not to laugh at the ineptitude of the political class.

I’m actually really looking forward to when Trump has to give up power, because I genuinely have no idea if he’s going to do it.

Is it normal for a Prime Minister to remain in office for this long after resigning?

She’s waiting for her successor to be chosen, the timetable for which has been set for months.

But it is rather typical of the Tories of the last few years to fritter away the time they have to engage with Europe on playing politics. She’s abandoning ship when Strong and Stabletm leadership is needed most.

Boris has shown his biggest talent in the campaign so far is hiding, and he can’t do that as PM with 3 months to get something done before the shit hits the fan, and he’s probably going to win, so we at least get to watch that shitshow.

Tired.

How much do you usually take, and for how long have you been taking them?

Also, what stimulants, if you don’t mind me asking?

‘tis the problem with symbols: the same symbol can mean different things to different people, and those meanings change over time.

I think he’s lost a bit of credibility with this one. Kneeling during the anthem was good and all, using his platform as a starting QB in the NFL to draw attention to a problem with the way authorities dealt with minorities, and he kept doing it throughout a great deal of criticism, and pretty much lost his career because of it. Settled lawsuit for undisclosed amount aside, and however many years he got as a well-paid starter, too.

This was stupid. Now anytime he says something about racism or anything like that, this’ll be brought up, because it was a non-issue in the first place, and that’ll shade whatever he’s chatting about in the future as a non-issue too.
