Oi oi, give a girl a chance to catch up!

I did a tiny fragment of actual work yesterday, and now I have half a thread to read!

GingerIvy I suspect that's been edited since Trump's tweet. There's a syndicated earlier version of the same article all over the internet and it appears in the print version: www.nytimes.com/images/2017/02/10/nytfrontpage/scannat.pdf

From @RogePOTUSStaff about 10 mins ago:

"POTUS irritated that sev. members of Patriots team will not attend WH visit. Saying he will lobby owner to cut them from the team."

CaveMum · 10/02/2017 14:06

Obviously that should be @RoguePOTUSStaff

TuckersBadLuck · 10/02/2017 14:06

I was referring to the NYT article about the 14th November phone call.

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 14:09

The problem with that is that it states he told China he would agree with the One China policy. it states that prior to that he hadn't spoken to him since 14 November. But the whole premise of the article is that Trump TOLD China he'd agree to it. Clearly he had to communicate with China's leader to tell him that. It's not like he tweeted it to him. So yeah, it was pretty obvious that Trump had just spoken to China.

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 14:11

The online article is re the One China policy that Trump agreed to. Since his phone call was last night, I presume the article was already in print prior to the phone call. As they put a new article out last night as soon as the phone call was made known, I can't see what else they were expected to do. That's not fake news. That's just timing, which can't be helped.

Trump Admin. is distancing itself from NSA Mike Flynn. I can’t see how he survives this. They're basically saying he lied to Pence.


So they're going to cut Flynn to save Pence.

TuckersBadLuck · 10/02/2017 14:23

Oh, I agree Ginger but there's every chance that tweeting in the early hours of the morning Trump was reading the original version of the story - and jumped on it as FAKE NEWS. It wouldn't matter to him (even if it had crossed his tiny dinosaur mind) that the writer couldn't have known about a call he'd had late yesterday at the time he wrote the original story.

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 14:24

True. He's not known for his restraint. Grin

I'm waiting for the reaction from the WH regarding that tweet of Angry Spice in the dress. It was brilliant.

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 14:27

Still don't know if this account is valid or not.. but...

Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff
Pence & Priebus hope to enlist AG to advise POTUS to rescind immigration EO and issue new order. But AG hesitant, knows POTUS is stubborn.

GrouchyKiwi · 10/02/2017 14:31

cozie Was this the tweet you were thinking of?

Mike Pence is an abhorrent bigot of middling intellect & I'd be extremely grateful to have him take over the Presidency as soon as possible

I love the NZ video. [proud]

Phfeww! Caught up, out of breath.

What rank buffoonery is in store for the US today?

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 14:37

They're carefully trying to extract Pence from this Flynn debacle. It comes down to "did Pence lie for Flynn?" Likely did, but can they prove it?

cozietoesie · 10/02/2017 14:39

It may well have been, Grouchy. Smile

It's always as well to remember that, traditionally, China has played a very long game indeed.
