This arrangement for a president's relative is totally normal in other places where I've worked, such as Beijing and Cairo. twitter.com/nycjim/status/843949024931733504

That above article also points out that Trump is expecting to host China's leader at Tsar-alago April 5-6th. So back to FL again.

peaceout · 21/03/2017 01:43

Like a fucking used car salesman that's trying to sell you a gutted VW bug and is telling you it's a Porsche

or a modern day mendacious version of billy graham
I understand Trump is an admirer of the celebrity evangelist

he'll be speaking in tongues next, hopefully whilst wearing a special long sleeved jacket, eyes rolling back in his head spitting and screaming as the demons leave his body
oh come on make it happen you know it wants to

TheClaws · 21/03/2017 01:45

This is madness! Of the good kind. Thanks for the updates and summaries everyone.

An article from Breitbart re: Ivanka Trump getting credentials, security clearance and an office in the White House. Trumpers don't like it!

saffronwblue · 21/03/2017 02:24

The way Trump talks to his followers is like how I used to talk to my DC when they were 2. 'I went to the office and did some hard things today but the people I work with are nice'.
Except Trump has off the scale grandiosity.
Who talks to sentient adults about 'bad people, bad things, good people, good things'?

TrueBlueDem · 21/03/2017 02:34

Thanks Ginger for transcribing...I think lol. Ugh.
So mortifying. I think if I travel outside the US from here on out I'm going to say I'm Canadian.

peaceout I seriously doubt Trump is a fan of RNJ (religious nut job) Billy Graham...Trump's not religious at all (remember TWO Corinthians lol?). He pretends to be in front of his base. He'll pretend to be anything that gets his cheers. Where did u hear that?

TrueBlueDem · 21/03/2017 02:36

saffron, it's because he's not only an empty soul, he's empty upstairs too. There is zero depth to him. And his language is limited.

TheClaws · 21/03/2017 02:39

Saffron His words are like mirrors. They reflect him, but if you crack them and look inside, there's nothing there - no substance, no coherence. Reflect and deflect: DT strategy. He doesn't know how to run a country. He only wants to be a figurehead. He keeps holding rallies to reassure his supporters, and himself, that he is still there. The MAGA figurehead is there, and he's going to look after this mess for you creating a mess of astronomical proportions as he does so

TrueBlueDem · 21/03/2017 02:50

Claws, very very true. But also he is so addicted to the adulation he gets from his base, hence why he is still holding rallies.

OT but for anyone who is still awake, what time is it where you are? It's 10:55 PM for me :)

Thanks for sharing, Claws! What time zone is AEDST? I'm EST

saffronwblue · 21/03/2017 03:32

That would be Australian eastern daylight saving time - am in it too.
