Aw thanks Chuff. You haven't been around here long, have you? Anyway, not sure why you're bothering to stay on this "page". Haven't you other "pages" to haunt?

But of course, if you have something to say other than spit, swear and blubber, please go ahead.

And equally, given I'm a nobody Chuff, so are you.

I thought the tradition these days is that a Tory Speaker should normally be followed by a Labour one?

Whoops think that should have been on the other thread!

Re army 101, as Trump was a draft dodger, I suspect he's not particularly well versed in the army training. HTH.

Planet still here? Oh good - we're one up today then.

He's released the list of "terrorist incidents" that he feels didn't get enough attention. It's not been received well by media.

Oh good i got here just in time to see chuffs erudite posts

i dont know why 'leftie' is an insult but i am more a righty....or a middly to be fair

From what I can gather, some isn't terrorist related, lots of misspelled words and places, and what was terrorist activity was front page news when it happened. Notably, the recent Canadian attack was not on the list and clearly still being ignored by Trump.

Can you post a link Ginger?

On my phone at the moment so can't. Plus dealing with dcs. Multitasking not my talent this morning. Lol

Oh wait. Here's a link from huffington post

These are the attacks Trump says went underreported. You'll recognize a few. huff.to/2jWyG8U

Hmm. It's not showing as link. Because I'm on phone??

Just swinging by to say anyone on Twitter who likes history NEEDS to follow @Donaeld The Unready. Absolutely hilarious!

At least one of the Australian ones cited on the list was a murder case not related to terrorism at all.

For entertainment value:
does Trump watch TV in his bathrobe? He doesn't even own a bathrobe, says Spicer. The Internet disagrees

The terrorist massacre list that either didn't happen or everyone but Trump knew about

So if that's one's zapped, how many more are not what he says they are?

Alternative facts

The list (see link) includes many actual cases that Donnie missed while watching Free Willy and in many different countries, but NOT Israel for some reason.

Also, follow the bad speller and find the source.

A tweeter called judd legum says that Melania is suing daily mail for implying she was an escort because it may tarnish her once in a lifetime opportunity to make money through launching retail brands as First Lady. Anyone else heard about this?

Almost as good as this thread is the Guardian's Trump Watch.

Yes saffron. The last case was dismissed by the court I think for jurisdictional issues or something? So she recently refiled.

Yes, the list has the word "attaker" I believe. I kind of expect paperwork from the WH to at least spell better than a third grader. 🙄

BTW I think we should pay attention to Melania's coded messages.
Did you see her sleeves that weren't really sleeves when she met her hubbie (my autocorrect prefers hubble, good boy)?
I think it was code for "alternative facts". I'll be looking out for "help".

Melania according to the filing “had the unique, one-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as an extremely famous and well-known person, as well as a former professional model, brand spokesperson and successful businesswoman, to launch a broad-based commercial brand in multiple product categories, each of which could have garnered multi-million dollar business relationships for a multi-year term during which Plaintiff is one of the most photographed women in the world.”

I'm confused. Isn't that a bit unconstitutional? Also which is more damaging, being a accused of being an escort or actually stating that you want to use the presidency to sell stuff?

One thing I find interesting is what the main news bulletins aren't reporting - I know you can't report everything but leaving stuff out when you report does influence decisions and thought processes.

The Today programme made no mention of his speech yesterday and the comments he made:

2 things stuck out:

It sounded like the US and its allies were going to really take on ISIS. That's big news

Second - his comments on terrorist attacks on Europe.

People who aren't aware of these comments and the other stuff he's said are probably more than happy to say 'yes, Trump's fine, what's the issue'

Of course, people who are more informed are happy to say this.

This comes back to opinion polls and getting the 'right question'.

1. President Trump has said there are terrorist attacks happening in Europe that are under reported. Do you feel safe going to Europe?

2. In the 2 weeks President Trump has been in charge, the Dow Jones has soared past 20,000. Do you agree that Trump has been good for the economy?

3. There was a terrorist attack in Paris last week committed by a Muslim. Do you agree with President Trump's actions to vet people coming from only these 7 countries?

4. How good a job is President Trump doing in his first 2 weeks?

You'll notice the use of the word Presidert, agree, good, Muslim, soared and safety....All nudge words

I could get him a good poll rating.

If CNN want a negative rating, other questions are available
