I'm becoming completely obsessed with DT. He's horrific and vile, but compelling in a terrible way. I'm not getting enough sleep because I'm posting on threads or reading articles online, or watching DT comedy sketches online. I think I'm going to have to take a step back! I don't want this f'ing man taking up so much time. Shit...anyone else?

Doesn't he realise the effect he's having on the economy? I bet there's been a lack of productivity in some areas as people spend more time thinking about this instead of working....

I work out of home - so that's even worse...I also have this tendency to just want to make people aware of different views.

I feel it's taken over my bloody life!I'm fascinated and appalled at the same time. And it's producing some great comedy, SNL are having a field day at the moment...

Just saw that the photo of Twitler and his wife from earlier in the thread is a still from the entrance to a charity gala he was attending. He looked maaaaaaad as he waited for 'more than 5 minutes' to make his big entrance. Poor Melania looks green around the gills...I'm worried about her mental state tbh

cozietoesie · 06/02/2017 00:09

I'm very sorry for her.

Formerpigwrestler9 · 06/02/2017 00:18

I think one of the things I dislike most about Twitler is the snarky, snide comments, the always having a dig, I feel he has no backbone, no moral fibre

There has been a lot of talk about a nuclear war on MN recently. For everyone who is wondering what it could look like:

Place marking

cozietoesie · 06/02/2017 01:06

I think it was referenced upthread, Bagel - but it bears repetition in any case.

Well, Habbakuk is incorrect in one respect, he isn't betrayed by wine.

( off the point)

That we know of. DH always says "Did I hear right? Has he been drinking or have I?" whenever he hears the Trumpenstein speak.

Superbowl messages interesting.

Lady Gaga's opening:

Started with

God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night
With the light from above

Then merged into

This Land is your land,
this land is my land
This land was made for you and me

One nation
Under God
With liberty and justice
For all

The Superbowl is one of those things which reminds me that culturally there are things about the US I just cannot and will never understand. I can't imagine being interested or feeling patriotic because of it.

Then again I can't really imagine being interested in sport or being patriotic.

This is a lovely poster about equality and diversity that needs sharing. It reminds children that no matter who they are, they are still valued.

Interesting from the NYtimes about Trump's changing strategies.

klassy · 06/02/2017 06:59

To be honest I don't know whether I want him to be reigned in as that would stop any chance of impeachment. It'll also make it all more insidious.

On the other hand it might stop catastrophically stupid decisions which wouldn't be popular like everything so far

I wonder what would have happened if he had lost the election?
Would he have gone quiet? I doubt it.

I was wondering what Lady Gaga did. Woody Guthrie, eh,?

AndHoldTheBun · 06/02/2017 07:28

Klassy, wow, so Trump DIDN'T UNDERSTAND signing Bannon onto the Nat Security Council wasn't the normal/proper thing, or what it meant?
More and more I believe those who say that Bannon is in control (or thinks he is, Trump is a loose canon, Bannon better watch his back!).

FarAwayHills · 06/02/2017 07:39

His tweets seem to be almost willing something to happen just so he can say 'told you so'.

Stuffofawesome · 06/02/2017 07:47

Willing or planning?
