So the State Dept Press Sec, Heather Nauert, used to be a Fox reporter?
I just saw a clip of her briefing yesterday talking about how fake news does exist and Iran took a quote by the Sec that was published here but twisted and Iran used it in proproganda. And fake news is real
Currently Scuitto and Santorum are arguing about what fake news is

I think Theresa May is going to lose her job Probably. But good luck to whoever's next, because I don't see them being any more successful with Brexit. It's almost like it was a horrible, poorly thought out, quack idea a whole lot of white people latched onto not because it made sense, but because they really hate brown people. 🤷 Yes. This. So many Brits in Portugal support Brexit and fail to see the hypocrisy in the wanting to restrict free movement of people from even EU countries, while themselves living in Portugal and getting free healthcare here because of the free movement of EU people’s. They really believe they are a boon to Portugal (mixed bag) so they should get to do whatever but those “others” shouldn’t be able to go to England so easily. 😡🤬😡

In other news of European countries being horrible, has anyone mentioned the rape case in Cork, where a 27-year-old man was acquitted of raping a 17-year-old girl and her lacy underwear was actually used as evidence of her implicit consent?
Ireland, I was just starting to get comfortable with you.
There are massive protests all over the country right now. Women are leaving underwear on the steps of courthouses, and the hashtag #ThisIsNotConsent is circulating with photos of underpants. A TD displayed a pair of underpants in the Dáil and was cut off because it's against the rules (!), and the Taoiseach then made a very strong statement about victim-blaming and how reprehensible the court case is.
Sorry if this was brought up already, it's early in CA and I haven't read all the way back to where I left off yesterday.

Ugh. So the air is worse than I thought and I don’t think I should have driven to work. Just driving even with the recirculated air and I feel ill.

"Amazon is being given land in Queens that was supposed to go for affordable housing." WTAF? That is really awful.

Judge orders WH to restore Jim Acosta's press badge. link "A judge ruled that Jim Acosta’s First Amendment rights overruled the White House’s right to have orderly press conferences." Maybe if the WH wants to have orderly press conferences, they should act like fucking adults.

Sorry if this was brought up already, it's early in CA and I haven't read all the way back to where I left off yesterday. I need to understand how a pair of underwear can consent. Are they magic? And how does that work if the panties consent, but the girl wearing them doesn't? I mean, this is the defense barrister's actual quote: "You have to look at the way she was dressed. She was wearing a thong with a lace front." I cannot.

Sarah said they’ll reinstate the press pass but develop rules “because there needs to be decorum in the WH”. Sorry Sarah, that won’t be happening as long as your boss is in office.

Mark Meadows has been sanctioned by the House Ethics Committee for keeping his CoS on the payroll after multiple complaints of sexual harassment. He has to pay the taxpayers back for the $40,000 we paid Creepy McRepublican.
