Shame on anyone who writes about this news conference like it wasn’t full of lies, whines, and fabrications.

Sorry you had to see this unhinged #TrumpMeltdown, President @niinisto. Please know that we're hard at work, and our democracy will keep going on. https://t.co/pJJXlJZmNj

How many times have we heard this?
I don't buy it. The fact is that Trump has failed upwards his entire life. He has been sued, counter-sued, and exposed as a con artist. Yet he's still the sitting, unimpeached POTUS.
Every day that passes is a day he can shore up GOP support. https://t.co/paYHbgMShy

More than 50 former female U.S. ambassadors are calling on Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to protect foreign service officers from political retaliation in the wake of the ousting of the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marsha Yovanovitch. https://t.co/ObIrMPwidJ

The House should investigate and consider adding an Obstruction of Congress count. They should consider impeaching other officials implicated in this obstruction, such as Pompeo, as well. https://t.co/3J9FP9Yfxj

Pompeo was so unpopular among many staffers at CIA for his bullying and outbursts that two well-placed sources tell us his security detail had an “Emancipation Party” after he left.

BREXITSHAMBLES BRITAIN
ANALYSIS: Johnson makes his offer. Is it tough to deliver or simply impossible? Some relief that it hasn’t been rejected outright. But the distance to travel in the time available is, well, insane. More Brexit madness beckons > https://t.co/Qr5DKa7VfR
— Beth Rigby (@BethRigby) October 2, 2019
I hope British media stop referring to this as Johnson's 'offer' now. This is very, very clearly not intended as an actual negotiating position but as a political ploy ahead of a general election by a prime minister who couldn't care less about Ireland, orange, green or other https://t.co/7FozdaTDXk

The #Brexit Steering group at the @Europarl_EN is absolutely not postive about PM Johnson’s proposals. It doesn’t provide the necessary safeguards for Ireland. Full written statement tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/vvl1WcMequ

If this is right, then the veto is one-way. I.e. if the DUP wishes, it pulls the plug on the backstop whatever the majority wishes. And it doesn't include customs in the first place.
The only consent being sought here is that of the DUP. https://t.co/UvmLgL2AFU

Also an absurd and extraordinary disincentive to investment in NI.

Ken Clarke expresses his indignation that the Prime Minister did not present his new proposed #BrexitDeal to the @HouseofCommons or cabinet, but chose to do so at #ConservativePartyConference in a speech that began with an attack on parliament

CONFIRMED: Government intend to prorogue Parliament next Tuesday – and hold Queen's Speech as planned on 14th.
Means no PMQS next week.

Tonight in Ukraine.
The protests have grown to thousands.

Protests erupt in Ukraine (Maidan) tonight after Zelenskyy agrees to the Steinmeier formula a "peace" process with Russia.
Meanwhile Russia is thrilled w the agreement
Why would Zelenskyy think Putin wants peace and will honor any agreement? Deal w the devil https://t.co/NmgTwRaywL— Olga Lautman (@olgaNYC1211) October 1, 2019
