I don't know a lot about American history, who was that?

Richard Nixon, the only President to resign.

Oh, didn't know he was the only one. Makes sense though. He was a disaster. Are you american?

Edit: Oh, yes you are, saw your profile. Cool. Except for the cubs. Good job. I go for tigers though. No good reason aside from the fact that I had a baseball card with a tigers player on it back when I was 7. Can't remember who it was, but I remembered the team. Also, I go for the Richmond Tigers in the AFL in Australia, so it made sense. I go for Miami in all of the other sports though.

Oh god, I'm going off topic. Better start talking about the end of the world. Smile

Here we go again. Trump is going to (try to) issue an Executive Order again next week. He's all talk about the rule of law and here he is subverting the Constitution and existing international treaties regarding refugees. #resist

CNN's chief national security correspondent, Jim Sciutto, just wrote on Twitter, "Just in: @CNN @nytimes @Politico & others blocked from attending White House gaggle with @PressSec. WH has so far offered no explanation." In a second tweet, he wrote, ".@AP & @TIME boycotted as a result. WH Correspondents Assn protesting. Conservative outlets Breitbart, Washington Times, @OANN allowed in." This is a frightening development. The name, Joseph Goebbels, comes to mind.

Yesterday PPK met with Trump at the White House, the first Latin American president to do so:


The Washington Post reported on it.

I do not participate in the regional server, but I am happy to talk through instant messaging or on the forum.

The way he targets the press and then attempts to silence critique through fake news is alarming. I really don't know what to say or do in such a hostile situation. Inciting hatred against the press or smearing them? A critique that shows how the press is biased or fact related checking would at least be educated but this seems to be highly negative.

A few hours ago, Trump gave an address to a joint session of Congress. I'm not gonna lie, it was perhaps the best speech he ever gave. I disagreed with 95% of the things he said, but he sounded 95% presidential when he spoke. Here was my favorite moment from his speech:


In case you want to see the whole speech, here it is:

Last night, I dreamt that Trump was either a shape-shifting demon monster or in league with them or both. :/
