That's beautiful. Really.

Yeah, an American lawyer actually writing in plain English. A rare example of the breed, to be valued.

I also wonder if it was purposefully written that way in order for Trump to be able to understand it. That seems likely, as these things are never usually that plain or compelling. Great stuff, either way!

I suspect it was purposefully written that way because they knew it would get published all over the world..

This is pure coincidence, I'm sure:

Here I was, thinking that "Trump Wimps Out of UK Visit" would be the biggest Trump-related story of the day, and then...

Of course people from #Norway would love to move to a country where people are far more likely to be shot, live in poverty, get no healthcare because they're poor, get no paid parental leave or subsidised daycare and see fewer women in political power. #Shithole

Its being reported that the Trump administration is considering creating a new "Conscience and Religious Freedom Division" in the Department of Health. This is right up there with The Wall in the list of the administrations brilliant brainwaves.

Mr. Trump has made some remarks about the NHS. Link says it all:

The economic collapse may finally be habbeding. Or they might prop up the mess for another ten years of zombie finance misery and real wealth destruction.

I don't know why the Trump haters don't make more out of his support for the stock market bubble, and the everything-bubble more generally. It's a perfect opportunity to be critical of him while doing a public service of promoting some economic common sense.

Or even more clearly, when the march organisers themselves responded, pointing out that they were protesting Tory "austerity" damaging the NHS and were actually asking for more taxpayer money to be invested in the service.

Basically, the complete polar opposite of what Trump - sorry, "Fox and Friends" because that's actually where "the Leader of the Free World" gets all his supposed "facts" from, as he tweeted this nonsense shortly after they ran a propaganda piece on the march - was suggesting was the case.

A protest for universal healthcare not being run down deliberately as an excuse to gradually privatise it off and turn it into the American system - a protest in mortal fear of the very thing Trump's proposing - somehow gets flipped, inside Trump's "Bizarro World" brain, to mean the polar opposite of that.

He is now proclaiming that not applauding the Emperor President is un-American and possibly treasonous.
