It's a bigly Trump thread. Another beauty. But you don't need to know what's in it. I don't have to tell you. So there.

There was a press conference. It was interesting.

Hmmmm Across I think there must be some mistake. I looked under "Greatest Presidential Speeches" on that page, but couldn't find Trump's speech from Thursday on there anywhere!!!

I wonder how long before they find someone who WILL take this position - shit sandwich indeed.

And what a fucking idiot Trump is for carrying on using an unsecured mobile to tweet. It only needs a hacker to post something controversial or inflammatory, and the damage could be immense. He just doesn't seem to care does he... as long as he gets his ego massaged and his adoration. I suppose he feels like Kim Jong Un waving to his adoring masses figuratively speaking

He was calling it the Winter White House, but then folks began to refer to it as the Winter Palace , so I suppose now it's the Southern White House. Well, guess what, POTUS, the actual White House is below the Mason Dixon line so it's the real Southern White House.

GingerIvy I just came on to post that link from The Hill. Pretty damning evidence.

Ref the "Southern White House", I worked with an extremely wealthy lady (she sat on a Committee I reported to) who had a house in Barbados that she referred to as her "Southern Office"

The government also maintains a retreat/getaway in the mountains near DC for presidents, Camp David. It will be interesting to see if Trump uses it at all.

I think you'll find that Trump will be playing to the crowds the entire time he is in office. He will be campaigning at least monthly I would bet - for that "audience adoration hit" and will go the FL every week.

I think going to FL feeds his "admiration from people" quota temporarily. Camp David won't, as it's more isolated. He wants to be surrounded by people who will fawn over him and gush about what a wonderful President he is - he'll get that at his hotel.

I don't think @realdonaldtrump should be allowed to appoint a Supreme Court Justice during his last year in office.

It must kill Trump that if he ever is in the 'situation room' it can't be on TV.

Fake treason charges...! Hope that's just a ridiculous rumour - but it says a lot about this Republican administration that one can't just rule shit like this out, straight off.

The press conference was all theatre. To keep Trump fans' attention in front of the curtain...

Normally, yes merry but with this Congress? He snaps his fingers and they roll. It's frustrating.

It must kill Trump that if he ever is in the 'situation room' it can't be on TV

Oh yes merrymouse. There have been pictures of Obama in the situation room. I think I might feel a little sick to see the Orange One lording it over everyone in there.

But Ginger, how are republicans going to cut taxes and pay for the wall and create an alternative to the ACA that is cheaper and covers more people?

This is what Sec. DeVos said about our teachers after her visit. Needless to say, we're about to take her to school... @dcpublicschools pic.twitter.com/Wcx1YyqDHL

merry I don't think "logic" or "common sense" comes into play for them.

JA teachers are not in a "receive mode." Unless you mean we "receive" students at a 2nd grade level and move them to an 8th grade level.

Ah, an article re the school DeVos visited... and then criticised. She who has no clue about education as she never went to a public (state) school.

What's the time difference between the UK and Florida? I'm contemplating staying up to see how car-crashy the Fart's stupid rally is & whether it is marred by protesters.
