Saturday at 05:00 AM5 days CBCTrump says deal struck to boost U.S. military presence in...U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he has a deal with Denmark to bolster the U.S. military presence in Greenland after months of threatening to take island by force from the NATO ally.Honestly not sure what's different from status quo ante here. Rather amusing to see this hocked as a victory, I guess some people are just violent at heart. Why has elegance found so little following?

Saturday at 10:38 AM4 days It's to all practical purposes the same deal as existed previously; and done solely so Trump can proclaim another great victory. Not for the first time by far, almost certainly not for the last.

And that includes FOXTrump loves the attention from the media despite all his ranting.

2 hours ago2 hr https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqm2mg34x2v7oAs expected a judge has temporality overturned Trump's media ban on CNN and others. The WH has yet to comment"A judge has ordered the Trump administration to immediately reinstate access to the White House for three news organisations barred from the building last week by the president.A District of Columbia court issued a temporary restraining order against the ban, meaning CNN, MS NOW and Politico must have their access restored for 14 days, after ruling the move "likely violated their constitutional due process rights".The three outlets launched a legal challenge after their reporters had their passes for the White House confiscated and were denied access.The Trump administration defended the move in court, accusing the outlets of publishing false information and threatening national security - an argument the court rejected.The White House is yet to comment on the ruling, and lawyers acting for the president may take further legal action.Judge Timothy Kelly ruled CNN, Politico and MS NOW were "likely to succeed" in showing the White House had not exercised "adequate due process" in implementing the ban.He also cast doubt on the Trump administration's arguments that the bans were motivated by national security concerns, pointing out the president made no mention of that in his initial announcement. "18 hours ago, Lexx said:The other media houses not participating in the White House shenanigans is kinda a win for him. Now he can fully run his own propaganda channel.Nah, he is addicted to the coverage he gets from FOX. And he needs the main media houses for his campaigning messagesIt will be interesting to see if the WH decides to challenge this overturning because this could be his excuse to walk away from it now thats its created such resistance amongst all main media housesThis solidarity demonstrates the reality of how the free media in places like the USA will unite when they face this type of unreasonable targeting of one of there membersIts about the principle of " if it could happen to them it could happen to us "So they all drawing a line "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
