1. The stupid idiot is actually LIVING in the LINCOLN BEDROOM.

What a tool.

The residence is actually much nicer and homey--even if all he has is a bed, a tv and a couch from the warehouse.

[uppityperson]

3. Well, he couldn't sleep in the same bed as Obama. I mean, been there, done that in Russia

[Leghorn21]

4. D'oh!! n/t

[Salviati]

13. Not until he replaces the mattress at least.

[putitinD]

5. I hope he doesn't get any urine on Lincoln's bed.

[MADem]

16. Joe Biden already peed on the mattress ... for free!

It's about three quarters of the way in:

[dflprincess]

24. We can only hope that it's true Lincoln haunts the building

that ought to drive him over the edge.

[MFM008]

29. we need a poltergiest

that will move things....................
THATS scary.

[DallasNE]

28. I'm Sure He Thinks He Is The Second Coming Of Lincoln

But it's opposites day, every day - in every way.

You have to know that it is his extreme ego that made the Lincoln bedroom his obvious choice. How soon will it be before someone insists Trump's likeness is added to Mt. Rushmore.

39. MADem...

[dixiegrrrrl]

35. HE already said that..

can't remember when I read it, but it was recently.

[PA Democrat]

31. OMG. The idea of that pig defiling the Lincoln bedroom is sickening.

You would think he would be more comfortable in the residence surrounded by his own favorite style of gaudy and tacky tinpot dictator style furniture.

The man has the worst taste in decor. It looks like someone vomited guilt and gold all over everything in his Trump Tower and Mar Lago homes. No wonder he was unsuccessful in picking up that married woman when he offered to take her furniture shopping!

[Dustlawyer]

32. He seems to want to preside over a 2nd civil war!

[demmiblue]

2. Wow, what a great resource!

K,R and bookmarked!

I think that they could expand on the "People, places and things recently insulted" category!

6. Guardian is now the best British newspaper for tracking these real time events

I was comparing it to other newspaper coverage last night. The BBC barely mentioned some of the breaking, stories, superficially, along with the Queens outing. The Guardian is by far the best British newspaper, plus it does serious investigative reporting. However, my British Brexit mother in law, who claims not to be a Tory, calls it "leftist, leftist rag. She says her "friends " who read it send their kids to posh schools and live in posh neighborhoods. They pretend to care about people, but they are leftist. She fears and moans the Syrian tragedy: that Turkey may allow the Syrians to spill more into Italy, where she and hubby holiday at least half of the time. " We are already noticing." Plus, she is noticing she sometimes waits 10 minutes more for her doctors appointment. Great reasons to let these people and their kids struggle to die in the ocean. I pointed out out the Italian rescue agencies ,are looking for refugee boats. She says, yes, I Fear it will bring Italy down. From my experience, these are not the Brits of WWII, but another generation, with entitlement and racism as their focus, stated or with lips sealed. I realize, like us they are divided, Brexit, immigration. Still, with May racing to plop herself in Trump's lap
and the Queen inviting Trump at breakneck speed to dine(of course, they are groveling for trade after Brexit and how they behaved toward the EU), I do not respect their government. All I hear from the British is diss about refuges, reverse racism, inconvenience....How ashamed Churchill must be?

[calimary]

7. The Guardian was one of the few outlets where you could find truth in reporting about the Iraq War.

Our side of the Atlantic was a total wash-out. Everybody was kowtowing to bush/cheney. Everybody obeyed the "thou shalt not photograph or report on coffins of dead soldiers coming back from the war front" because if you did, you'd get fired.

That was one of the FIRST things then newly-inaugurated President Obama DID: he went to Dover Air Force Base in the late evening, to greet the incoming flight of flag-draped caskets. And he invited press coverage. Let's not forget that.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

9. Yes, Mary, let us not forget. Let us document and remember it all, because the Rs

are doing all they can to obliterate all truth. The truth always seems to make them look bad.

[tblue37]

11. They also track the number of people killed by cops in the US. nt

[The Wielding Truth]

15. I will not forget that and all the other ways that President Obama reclaimed our nation's dignity.

He pulled us out of the abyss almost single-Handel. He restored our economy and got a lid on loose nukes. He tried to get health care for the uninsured and stood up for all minorities. He measured our responses to rogue terrorists and kept internal attacks at bay. He represented all of us, even those who disrespected his infallible competence.

Out of the darkness into the light then into a state of confusion and destructive childish corruption.

I wish we could vote again and undo this mess and remove these piggish plunderers and fools from our government.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

23. ++ yes.

I want my President back.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

8. The Guardian has been excellent as long as I can remember.

Churchill bothered? He also hated leftists, didn't he?

[Alice11111]

10. Well, at least he tried to maneuver to help the Jews

while the US turned a blind eye. Now, few countries bother with blind eyes, it's just all out "Proud to be a Racist," and outspoken justifications.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

12. Yes, at least he did that. And I don't discount it. But, let us not forget

that he did so out of a fierce nationalism. And his beliefs about immigrants in general reflected that.

For instance, just a quick example, according to the Guardian:

Sir Winston Churchill expressed alarm about an influx of 'coloured people' in Fifties' Britain and looked for a chance to restore punishment by flogging, newly released cabinet papers from the national archive reveal.

On 3 February 1954, under the agenda item 'Coloured Workers', Churchill is quoted, with abbreviations, by Cabinet Secretary Sir Norman Brook as saying: 'Problems wh. will arise if many coloured people settle here. Are we to saddle ourselves with colour problems in UK? Attracted by Welfare State. Public opinion in UK won't tolerate it once it gets beyond certain limits.'

Adding that it would be 'fatal' to let the situation develop too far, the Prime Minister is recorded as concluding: 'Wd lke also to study possibility of "quota" - no. (number) not to be exceeded.' (abbreviations from handwritten notes.)

The documents give an insight into attitudes of the time and echo modern concerns about border controls. Handwritten notebooks were kept as a record of cabinet meetings separate from the official minutes.

18. Good research.Guardian, again, one of the best, most courageous

newspapers. I didn't realize the history went so far back. No wonder the RW in England hate it.

[not fooled]

22. No wonder

dump put Churchill's bust back in the Oval Office.

[demigoddess]

21. been reading BBC. disappointing. I'm going to switch, thanks!

[mrgorth]

14. This is great!

[Stuart G]

17. One of the greatest front pages...ever...k and r

[pansypoo53219]

19. its like diarrhea, maybe jeffrey w/ die of cholera.

[ailsagirl]

20. He's well on his way, isn't he?

[GeoWilliam750]

25. They should also track - to the best of their ability

The number of lies he tells every day

[jmowreader]

26. No one can count that high

[justiceischeap]

33. A Toronto reporter is doing that, I believe.

I saw something from him about that on Twitter. I'll try and find the info.

Edited:
I think the reporters name is Daniel Dale. He tracked Trumps lies prior to his election and I think he intends to continue to do so.

[CountAllVotes]

27. Kinda says it all

[ananda]

34. About the Guardian.

This news outlet shifted to the right during
the years of the campaign.

But now that Trump has been elected, they
see blood and are moving back towards the left.

Opportunistic to say the least.

I still read it, but refuse to donate.

[AtheistCrusader]

36. Guardian is somewhat business-centric.

So it's going to be a bit fiscally Right. I found them pretty reliable during the election though. The only news source that worked right on election night, and the only one that gave me pause that something might be wrong, and Hillary might not actually win, leading up to election night.

Here in WA, everyone I knew thought Hillary had the election in the bag. All over bar the shouting. Then about 10pm election night we all started getting texts and freaking out...

If I had listened closer to guardian reporting, I'd have been aware long ahead of time.
