US Politics - Trump cancels summit having to do with North Korea

Should be excited about it - can't manage it.

The fact is he should have faced consequences for his actions years ago - the fact he's now crossed "a red line topic" for certain interest groups, doesn't change the lack of inaction (and therefore entailment if not tacit approval) for years.

According to that story even Breitbart are considering dropping him.

Please happen, oh please happen!

Great tweet from Graham Linehan (Father Ted, The IT Crowd) re this:

S&S are strawberry floating disgraceful, regardless of this latest move.

So in other words, he dropped S&S because he got financially better offers. Hypocrite.

1: if you're talking about the statement in the quote box at the end there, that's from Roxanne Gay, a woman, talking about dropping her book deal with S&S in protest of them giving a deal to that twat.

2: She dropped her book deal with S&S, then received the better offers.

Still being run by the same ignorant and, let's face it, really old and out of touch, clowns who caused this whole mess. The same people who thought Clinton was a great candidate. The entire organisation needs a complete purge. I'm not saying nominate Sanders but at least listen to what he and people like Krugman have been trying to tell them. Right now they are acting like 2016 was just a blip and it will be business as usual soon enough. They need to get real.

Liz Warren will wipe the floor with Trump in 2020.

Those rural rust belt voters aren't voting for Warren.

They will after 4 years of being worse off.

If this were true Americans would have stopped voting Republican en masse decades ago.

They need to really feel worse off under Trump, and they need to blame him, rather than Obama or Obama-era appointees or the media. The Democratic machine needs to really connect with these people and places and repair its reputation, making it quite clear who's to blame (offering solid plans to help the area out will help) otherwise it'll take a fully fledged recession to knock Trump out there.

They need to be the big tent party of solutions that everyone can understand easily, being open and honest and not taking the electorate for granted.


Also Trump's appointment of McMasters to the position of National Security Advisor might be the first good decision he's made in years. The man's record looks impeccable.

Now Milo has resigned from Breitbart

Very convenient timing.

Smells a bit too convenient to me, coming after arguably his biggest gig yet on Bill Maher. I reckon this is something he has somehow cooked up himself. It allows him to pocket the £200k reserve on the book and sell it to another publisher and releases him from Breitbart which had quite a bit of control over some of his media appearances. Now he is inevitably going to start his own Infowars or Rebel Media kind of thing and this controversy is a bit of exposure.

I can't say I found his stuff offensive, he always kind of deployed shock jock tactics and nobody he ever debated seemed to have half a brain. I don't believe for one minute that he believes half the shite he is saying. He is like Katie Hopkins on steroids but has knack with words.

I may be wrong on this but surely the publishers get the advance back?

I don't think they will if they pulled out. But either way, he can self publish and will make more than that advance was worth. This is all potentially very lucrative which makes me smell a rat.
