yes, I watched it on the news yesterday.  Horrible, but reassuring in a way, at least it wasn't tanks and guns like it might have been in other countries.

Rather fascinating the blocking by facebook and twitter - what happens next?  does he open a gofundme page?  the dark web??

No Mr Drek it must be fake news.  the world can't do without Mr Trump's twittering.

actually I am reaching a point now - I can't stand the fake news any more.  I used to sit there happy in my own brain whatever was going on but now I am sorry to say it appears I am becoming intolerant of the self-centric viewpoint.  I'm an old-fashioned girl - there is such a thing as objective reality and I am truly fed up of the anything goes attitude, ie the absolute imposition of whatever the person wants to be reality as a requirement.

(aunt bea, thanks for the history on the term 'fake news' - now I'm appropriating it to mean what I want all over again. )

At the same time as I am becoming intolerant of fake news I am also beginning to understand it is a brain wiring model, different to mine but just as inherent.  ie if you are like that then emotionally speaking you do just need to be self centric and curl away from even considering the evidence of objective reality.  

whereas for me it is not like that at all.  I seek corroboration.
