Living with the Trump presidency

I feel in one sense we shouldn't be able to listen to this, but I'm completely riveted. He's a very strong character. So far not showing signs of strain and it's over 2 hours of intense questioning now.

ww, perhaps Trump was unaware of this before he was elected. I think he thought he could say was he wanted to get elected and then do what he wanted.

I admire strong people like Comey and Snowden.

Ginny it is riveting!

His next job is staring in a spy series like Homeland.

Strong character.

At the end of the first part, BBC switched to where Trump was addressing party faithful thinking he may comment on the hearing, but he didn't. He did say, 'I wouldn't call myself a politician although I must be, I'm the President.'

Comey stated that Trump was lying. There were so many questions which required him to be very sharp not to trip up, but I'm a great believer in the saying tell the truth and shame the devil. Many senators were very effusive in their praise for Comey personally and for his work for the USA. Clearly there is a lot hanging on this.

I felt as though I was seated in the room and hanging onto their every word. Compelling viewing.

What I found interesting was Trump did not tweet once throughout. His advisers must be grey by now.

Good news for climate change.
The public can help to do something about it.

www.sumofus.org are asking people to sign up to ask ceos of large companies to step down from trump's advisory board.
Some have. We need more pressure.

One good thing has come out of the election. Trump has told May he doesn't want to visit the UK until the British public supports him coming!

Just a matter of time before he is impeached, just got to wait it out, he us digging himself in deeper by the day.

Oh well that's Trump never coming here then - phew!

Well, that'll save a bit of money. For what this election has cost we could have done something about all those people starving in Ethiopia .

Trump obviously saw The Last Leg, then ....

Did you see the one where they were taking money out because there was something nice to say about trump?
Only once, I think, and I can't for the life of me remember what was said that was good.

Trump's tweets being used in court against him.
Careful what you tweet.

There is some confusion about the proposed visit of Trump:

White House says Trump WON’T delay state visit to the UK after all
metro.co.uk/2017/06/11/white-house-says-trump-wont-delay-state-visit-to-the-uk-after-all-6701842/

However, it is known for 'weird news'

Take your pick.

Can't decide whether I want him to come or not since I saw the Last Leg.

Not bothered really, as long as he doesn't get his travel ban through. It's been turned down again.
If he bans muslims from travelling to the US, we should ban him from coming here.

We could just ignore him (empty streets)

Trump now officially under criminal investigation

A bit of lighter relief, but serious underneath:

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40315345

Spicer announced that US is preparing to go to war in Syria if another chemical attack is carried out.

That is "blow the hell out of them"

Hope Russia is OK with that

not another bloody 'shock and awe'

Please no.

They really should take trump's twitter account away from him.

I think we need to get trump onside about climate change.

We appear to be in the middle of a mass extinction as in the time of dinosaurs, but this time it's caused by homo sapiens.

Get ready.
