I explained to the President of China that a trade deal with the U.S. will be far better for them if they solve the North Korean problem!

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A.

...And this was 20 minutes and 15 minutes ago respectively.

Jesus! This is all just unbelievable.

MrsT2007 · 11/04/2017 14:18

Hmm yes.

Both are a bit bonkers. One thinks Julian Assange is a misunderstood hero.

Tbf Mensch did call down some people who were being vile to Fairbanks. She is a bit on the edge but that said, she's also razor sharp and more than one of her theories Are turning out to be not so batshit crazy as first suspected. Though I do take her twitter with a hefty pinch of salt. Her written pieces are far better.

Will be interesting to see how it turns out.

This BBC article was on the One O'Clock News earlier, regarding fears over vaccination rates in the USA due to Trump's policies:

PausingFlatly · 11/04/2017 14:48

Blimey. Will be interesting to see that play out between Mensch and Fairbanks.

Having only just encountered Fairbanks, I'm interested in her CV. She's a social media star, but there's no page about her on Wikipedia. The BBC has a quick bio: www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-37507542

But I think this from the Buzzfeed comments is most succinct:

To be fair, as far as I know, Cassandra Fairbanks is an ex Wikileaks hacker, who now works for the Russian State Media, and is close to Michael Flynn.

She's spent, as far as I can see, her entire career trying to create chaos in Western movements. She's gone from being a BLM supporter, to a Bernie Sanders supporter, to a Trump supporter, to alt-right member in the space of about 18 months.

So she seems like a Disruptivist . Eager to toss all the pieces up in the air and hoping there's something for her on the way up - and the way down.

There's a lot of it about.

He hasn't learned to keep his head down politically, yet. (Maybe at that age, he never will?)

Eric Trump....the gift that keeps on giving. Some of the shit that comes out of his mouth just makes me Shock Hmm Confused

He must be the sibling that the other two continually played pranks on and got him to ask the parents for shit they knew wouldn't be allowed just to get him scolded.

MrsT. I would agree with your assessment of Mensch. I follow her with interest, but she does come out with some madness sometimes.

So they are basically saying that there will be more chemical weapons attacks. Confused

cozietoesie · 11/04/2017 16:25

Probably.
