And this is why I am currently rereading the handmaid's tale. It all seems so plausible when you have stuff Iike this going on...

'Top Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway on Friday declared a "new day" for the anti-abortion movement in the U.S. following the election of the new president.

Speaking at the annual "March for Life" demonstration in Washington DC, Conway said the Trump administration would fight alongside the anti-abortion movement to further its cause. '

Another @khanoisseur idea (although I think it might be a bit of a stretch), Putin backed Assad to generate Syrian refugees to destabilise the EU.

@realDonaldTrump You are just dividing and destroying our country. Bullshit with MAGA. I should have not voted for you.

The cracks are starting to show - this is not by any means the first person I've seen posting this sentiment.

PausingFlatly · 27/01/2017 18:11

Claig had been around for a very long time, spouting the same shit that I personally wasn't surprised to see her pushing Trump so forcefully.

This. Same shit, different object of adoration every few years.

She likes her idols to be engaged in some kind of "struggle" (no matter how implausible) against Them, so it remains to be seen whether Trump's act of being eternally embattled overrides his blatant appointment of exactly the sort of people claig hates most, in retaining her affections.

BigBadgers · 27/01/2017 18:11

I think Putin backed Assad just to create chaos. Or for the lolz as they say. One of the outcomes was the refugee crises, which I am sure Putin is indeed thrilled about.

Books in date for trump protest in uk

Lweji · 27/01/2017 18:20

It was mentioned before how certain pps disappeared at the beginning of January. Including claig.

TheMysteriousJackelope · 27/01/2017 18:21

It's OK, nobody needs to worry about the visit between Theresa May and Donald Trump. We were all confused. The White House press office have repeatedly stated in memos that Donald Trump is actually meeting with Teresa May. Teresa May is a British porn star, not the British Prime Minister.

It seems oddly appropriate.

BigBadgers · 27/01/2017 18:22

Here is a nice little article about the Russian strategy of promoting chaos across the west if anyone is interested: www.ibtimes.co.uk/vladimir-putin-russias-grandmaster-chaos-our-fractured-age-1572635

Go Laura. Non answer from May.

Non answer from Trump

Destinysdaughter · 27/01/2017 18:23

I actually reported Claig a few times as I couldn't believe the shite she was spouting. Sadly it was allowed to stand

Looking forward to the day the Donald comes to visit the Queen. The protests will be EPIC!!!

( disclaimer; I don't use that word normally, but feel it's actually appropriate here...)

And I WILL be there...

amispartacus · 27/01/2017 18:24

May can answer her own questions. Trump just told her what to worry about

LouiseBrooks · 27/01/2017 18:25

Laura will now be be banned from Trump's press conferences. He didn't like that did he?

amispartacus · 27/01/2017 18:26

These are some great questions

Kaija · 27/01/2017 18:26

Think s/he may have been banned, destiny. She sort of imploded on the last thread. Or maybe her work was done at that point.

amispartacus · 27/01/2017 18:28

Does Trump know how Scotland voted?

GingerIvy · 27/01/2017 18:28

Is anyone watching the joint press meeting with Trump and May? Holy fuck, what a train wreck.

BigBadgers · 27/01/2017 18:29

Buzzfeed is just reporting goings on in FSB. A number of senior intelligence officials linked with hackimg have been arrested. Not clear if it is because they were leaking info to the Americans or if there is just a bit of a power struggle going on in the FSB.

Was that it?

4 questions.....

Did May force him to hold a press conference? Well done.

GingerIvy · 27/01/2017 18:31

Apparently some of the British journos were left outside and not allowed in because their birthdates were submitted in British order and Americans didn't get it. I despair. Really.
