I hear where you're coming from 7Days, but I think (hope) that the lunatic fringe still hates 'the commies' more than they hate 'the liberals' and that if proof begins surfacing and gets combined with Trump's family's ritzy lifestyle (they hate the rich almost as much as they hate the liberals) that it will erode their hero-worship.

I think, in the end, the lunatic fringe may cause some isolated 'ructions' and unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised at targeted assassination attempts (similar to those that have happened against abortion providers or civil rights workers) against liberal public figures. But I don't think there's really enough of them to cause a major disturbance. At heart, they're mostly blow-hards who run when things get too hot.

I think I may understand cozie. Something that one thinks of, perhaps, but doesn't want to actually say out loud.

No matter what happens (or how) I think we're in for an interesting time if things unfold as they appear to be unfolding. If nothing else I hope the ensuing shit storm provides enough of a distraction so that the Trump-mobile will be brought to a dead stop and can do no further damage to the country until we can hold the midterms.

cozietoesie · 25/03/2017 22:01

Yes. I hope so also.

Gumpendorf · 25/03/2017 22:08

Interesting from @RoguePotusStaff
What many aren't understanding is that power is being consolidated behind POTUS. Investigations won't matter if he can get ahead of them.

Followed by

This is a race at this point. Consolidation of power vs Russiagate collapsing on his head. When we told you POTUS is winning, we meant it.

MrsT2007 · 25/03/2017 22:14

I still don't think that account is genuine

cozietoesie · 25/03/2017 22:16

No. Me neither. Best ignore it.

Oh - a recent twitter.

Well, at least we can confidently say that the Russians didn't help Trump with the vote count on Trumpcare.

I hope that the AngryWhiteHouseStaffer is legit. They have gone very quiet in last few days.

I don't think it's legit, but I do think it's an interesting angle on the Russiagate shenanigans.

Natsku · 25/03/2017 22:42

Good news day today it seems! Also loved the picture of Trump pretending to drive the truck - he really is like a toddler! (except not adorable)

Was going to post the fake news thing about Ryan playing Papa Roach - This Is My Last Resort but saw it was already posted - oh how I wish it had been real Grin

Meanwhile, I've been to dinner cooked by some lovely Muslim immigrants (Sri Lankan) which reminded me why its so important to keep fighting against the racists. Such a lovely family, hoping to start a restaurant in my small town which unfortunately has quite a few neo-nazis in so I think they're going to need all the support they can get.

And yet the rallies looked.....sparse

GrommitsEarsHurt · 25/03/2017 23:19

Isn't there a huge risk of Trump being given polonium soup if his former colleagues implicate him with Russia? Or would the soup be fed to Flynn instead?

cozietoesie · 25/03/2017 23:22

"The three most boring words in the English language might be congressional, budget and office, although some have argued for the phrase 'worthwhile Canadian initiative'.

The article had that in quotes as well. I still laughed. Wink

MrsT2007 · 25/03/2017 23:28

I suspect Flynn is holed up somewhere in a very safe place if he's sung

GrommitsEarsHurt · 25/03/2017 23:36

Hope so MrsT, but will that result in Trump meeting a sticky end, so that whatever Flynn says becomes irrelevant? I can't work out if that would be in Putin's interests or not?

AcrossthePond55 · 25/03/2017 23:59

Grommit at this point I think Trump is of no further use to Putin, there's just too much information floating around 'out there'. But since Trump is knee deep in the shit himself I think Putin knows he'll keep his mouth shut. I'd say Trump is pretty 'safe' right now. He's too visible a target.

Flynn, Manafort, et al, on the other hand, should be scared shitless.

GrommitsEarsHurt · 26/03/2017 00:15

Thanks AcrossthePond55

cozietoesie · 26/03/2017 00:44

I'd agree that Trump is safe enough. I'd disagree that he's of no further use. The man is POTUS and Commander in Chief.,

7Days · 26/03/2017 02:00

Has he lifted the sanctions yet? If i were Putin (heh heh heh maybe I am!!!!) I would want Trump to do that, soon as, while he is still in power, then keep him there for as long as possible. If there is a major backlash against him no successor will want to be seen carrying on such contraversial policies. At heart its all about that Arctic oil and pipeline. I think.

Lweji · 26/03/2017 02:00

So, Russia, conflict of interest...

“SNL” predicted this: Eric Trump inadvertently spills the beans on his unethical relationship with his father
"Alex Moffatt's depiction of Eric Trump as a simpleton who accidentally tells the truth was sharper than we thought"

"
"... interview with Forbes magazine published on Friday.

Eric admitted that he does discuss “the bottom line, profitability reports and stuff like that, but you know, that’s about it” with his father. When asked about the regularity with which he does so, Eric said, “depending, yeah, depending,” before clarifying (after being asked whether it might be quarterly), “yeah, probably quarterly.”

Eric capped off the remarkable exchange with a boast that could have come out of Moffatt’s mouth: “My father and I are very close. I talk to him a lot. We’re pretty inseparable.”"

What else has SNL predicted? Grin

Lweji · 26/03/2017 02:01

Putin or Tillerson. Wink
