Just to remind you that Trump put the phone down on had a heated conversation with the Australian PM

Has put Iran on notice

Threatened UC Berkeley with withdrawal of funds if they 'promote violence'

Said something about troops and Mexico

Sean Spicer currently lying talking to the press corps

This made me laugh!

Just had a look at Hillary's Twitter feed as wondered whether she'd said much since the 20th. And of course, she is a class act and hasn't resorted to anything other than supportive tweets and a couple of links to articles.

I know she garnered a lot of hate which I never understood but not being American, I thought perhaps I missed something. One thing she never was though was crass or unprofessional and I think she would've made a great president.

I miss the Obama's too Whether he made a lasting impact - and his legacy is looking pretty shaky right now - Barack showed that if you work hard, show compassion and consideration for all people and have a clear vision, you can do it. Surrounding yourself with intelligent, insightful people certainly doesn't hurt either - just a shame that the Republicans were able to hobble him so much.

Roll on the midterms, I say - I think the Democrats are due a surge!!

Everyone on Twitter is retweeting
#Dworkin report. I don't know what this is, something about Trump having business dealings in Russia which may get him impeached?

clearly Trump and piety are antithetical, this melding of church and state is part of an anti intellectual/anti science/anti progressive stance imo

As far as I know, it's a 're-invigoration' of a late 2016 report with one or more additional facts. (Or 'erroneous beliefs' as EP's people will likely put it.)

also encouraging unquestioning obedience to an omnipotent authority figure generally helps his cause

.

How dare Obama offer hospitality arrangements for Australian immigrants. It's almost like he has a heart and hasn't sold his soul to the devil.

I read some crazy stuff during the campaign pre-election. All the people that thought Clinton descended from the devil was laughable. Not to mention conspiracy theories about her health.

As someone has said before, it's not Trump that overly concerns me, it's whoever is putting these bat shit ideas into his head.

I can see a possibility of the electoral system changing as he's harped on about that. My biggest fear is Trump thinks he's king, so will go turn it into a dictatorship that is inherited by his son, who Trump believes has superior DNA. His looks obviously from the super model Mum. That's all the women are good for, a piece of arm candy.

Maybe she's under the desk whilst he's making these bat shit crazy announcements. We are nearly there America, just need to, sign this... ahh done!

I wonder if she ever dreamt as a little girl that she'd one day be married to a guy that shook the world, in a few years possibly quite literally with nukes.

That's why these celebs & rich are building subterranean basements, in reality they're fall out shelters, kitted out for that VIP nuclear war experience.

Has he said anything about Korea? I heard that the North is getting missiles ready even though it'll mean definite demise.

I've just started watching house of cards (fabulous) but it really makes me focus on the terrible people in the White House.

This is the best thread. The best.

And I have signed an EO banning other threads for 6 months.

#Dworkin report
Wouldn't it be great if it was a report by the great late Andrea Dorkin, fearless feminist and anti pornographer campaigner.

Megatherium wil do, it's got Rachel Weisz and Timothy Spall? Like them.

Have you all seen these?

And Trump demanding that women "dress like women" in his administration?

I have to ask - is there any chance this is a weird dream??

I've worked full time this week plus Uni, this thread is keeping me up to speed on Trump chaos , thanks everyone.

Who's he fucking over this morning?

woman12345, my first thought on seeing Dworkin mentioned was indeed the feminist campaigner.

Klassy
Can you link re women's clothing please? Appalled

Trump tweet:

Thank you, @Samsung! We would love to have you! t.co/r5nxC9oOA4

The article:

Title - "Trump effect: Samsung may build U.S. factory"

"A win-win: Companies can grab headlines with news of even considering bringing production to the U.S., and the Trump White House benefits from the ability to take credit. These moves may not add up to significant job growth, but it's hard to beat the PR."

How many of you think he's read the article and not just the title?

Replies to the tweet point it out and one says:

"@realDonaldTrump You committed #TREASON & you will PAY FOR IT. You will be arrested & spend the rest of your miserable life rotting in jail"

A heartwarming prospect. Bless.

Reporting in for duty.

"In a new report released Thursday, Trump said male staffers are to wear ties and women must “dress like women,” unnamed sources told Axios."

It can't be fake news. Trump has just tweeted a link to Axios.

My husband just sent me this onion article which has at least made me laugh (in a hysterical sort of way).

I read that on Twitter Mercy, Google brought up this cosmopolitan recap near the top.

And that's all true. SAD.

But Carter was a Democrat. Democrats have to be whiter than white, blacker than black, cleaner than bleach, hollier than Christ.

That's shocking klassy. Thing is... he is the fake one. Fake sympathy, fake facts, fake speeches.... I am just hoping more and more people will put 2 and 2 together and actually make 4.

This is a worry isn't it... said during his speech at Prayer Meeting...

He wants to get rid of the Johnson Law. The law limits religious organisations basically getting involved in politics (for instance... intervening in political campaigns or helping/hindering a candidate or political party). Getting rid of this would allow religious leaders to tell their congregations who to vote for, without risk of losing that tax exempt status.

Ministries have been non partisan. Fat orange one wants that changed. He has promised to.

This could be catastrophic. Some on the right dream of a church based political machine. It will shore up support for him.

We can only hope to get to the mid terms before this happens. Get some more Democrats in, the Republicans hold is small, we have to pray we can get through the next couple of years and then perhaps there will be some change (I might have this all wrong, my knowledge is sketchy)
