There’s a moment in episode 2 of Numberblocks where 2 laughs so hard he briefly turns into two 1s before turning back again, and I’m not sure any modern horror movie has achieved anything more distressing.

The whole thing is quite John Carpenter-esque.

Ways some 'sensible' media will downplay the President calling for his political opponents to be put to death:
• Don't take him literally
• It's Trump being Trump

• Not mentioning the 'execution' bit.

Donald Trump calls for Democrat members of Congress to be arrested and executed

It comes after a group of members of Congress who have served in the military made a video reminding servicemen and women that they can refuse orders if they are unlawful
