monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

President Trump is so eager to deliver on his 2016 campaign promise of a border wall that he’s told officials he will pardon them if they have to break the law in order to get it constructed by Election Day, The Washington Post reported.

...During meetings, Trump has told aides not to worry about breaking the law in order to finalize contracts or using eminent domain to seize property for the structure.

“Take the land,” he’s reportedly told officials, promising to pardon anyone who has to skirt the law in order to speed things up. A White House official told the Post that Trump was joking about the pardons.

Looks like The UK PM and the Queen are sick and tired of Parliament interfering in Brexit.

President Trump on Wednesday lashed out at Fox News, accusing the conservative network of “heavily promoting the Democrats” and urging his nearly 64 million Twitter followers to “start looking for a new News Outlet.”

“The New @FoxNews is letting millions of GREAT people down!” Trump wrote in a series of tweets. “We have to start looking for a new News Outlet. Fox isn’t working for us anymore!”

His tweets followed an interview of Xochitl Hinojosa, the communications director for the Democratic National Committee, in which she discussed next month’s Democratic presidential debate, among other things.

In his tweets, Trump said Hinojosa had been “spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback” from anchor Sandra Smith.

Trump also complained about commentators who appear regularly on Fox, including former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile and left-leaning pundit Juan Williams, as well as anchor Shepard Smith, who has been critical of Trump at times.

“HOPELESS & CLUELESS! They should go all the way LEFT and I will still find a way to Win,” Trump wrote.

Democrats have repeatedly accused Fox News of having far too sympathetic coverage of Trump and his administration, with some likening it to state-run television.

A Fox News spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump’s tweets.

Guy Benson, a Fox News contributor, responded to Trump on Twitter, writing, “We don’t work for you.”

Former Tory deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine has released a statement on today's news.

It reads: "On hearing the news whilst on holiday in Montenegro, I am appalled by the government's announcement.

"The government's decision is a constitutional outrage.

"A government which is frightened of Parliament is frightened of democracy.

"I hope that every member of Parliament, in feeling this humiliation, will use every legal and constitutional weapon to obstruct a government proposing to force on the British people a historic change for which they have long since lost any mandate."

The Queen? From where do you get that (hint: she only could do otherwise "technically)

Interestingly, you seem to support Johnson’s move to suspend the democratically elected parliament.

Do you want such for the USA as well?

Johnson's move? He couldn't do it without the support of the Queen

It doesn't matter what the article says. It's not the Queen's decision to make, and if your article says it is, then it was written by a moron.

Yet another example of you pontificating on matters you know nothing about and are unlikely to ever understand.

What total nonsense. I always knew you were ignorant, but I never realised how all encompassing it is.

The Queen has approved the order to suspend Parliament, a formal but necessary step of Boris Johnson's plan.

The Privy Council, a body of senior politicians who act as the Queen's official advisers, requested Wednesday that the Queen "prorogues," or suspends, Parliament. The Queen is currently on holiday in Scotland.

According to a statement from the Privy Council, the Queen has approved the suspension of Parliament "no earlier than Monday 9th September and no later than Thursday 12th September" until October 14.

We have a system you don't understand. We find your system weird. The difference is we don't make **** up about your system, but you make **** up all the time.

I spend way too much of my time on here explaining things to you as it is already.

And it's not like you're grateful.

Where does it say the Queen supports Johnson?

It doesn't because she doesn't, and you don't have a clue.

Did you read the article?

Nothing like that is written into our Constitution, so it wouldn't happen.

It doesn't because she doesn't, and you don't have a clue.
Why else would she grant the request. She could have denied him and let Parliament do their jobs. Instead she intervened and suspended Parliament at his request. From what I understand, he doesn't have the power to do this himself, but she does from a request.

From what I understand, he doesn't have the power to do this himself
