Trump couldn't remember what fucking country he bombed?!

Apparently someone wrote in Trump's name in the local elections over here, and someone else wrote in Putin and stuck a picture of him on the ballot paper Grin

Tillerson meets with Putin in Moscow despite announcement saying they wouldn't meet hill.cm/J1H61xI

Always consider the fact that they actually met rather than the circumstances. (They'll likely usually cry 'Security' to explain those.)

Tell you what's struck me on MN recently.

Where have all the "Oh don't be ridiculous, this is nothing like the 1930s" posts gone?

Was almost a little meme. The posters were bored, fed-up, sick of hearing this nonsense. Such talk was all melodramatic and exaggerated and insulting, and if anything bad happened it would anyway be the fault of the pathetic doomsayers for mentioning it could.

Some of the posters are still around... maybe I've just missed the Don't Mention The 1930s posts?

We seem to get one every couple of threads pausing, but they never hang around long to argue their case.

PausingFlatly · 12/04/2017 17:25

Ah, I've just missed them then, Bigly. Quelle dommage...

If you're wondering why the US press doesn't have pictures of Secretary Tillerson at the Kremlin, that's because he ditched his press pool

Yes, I've noticed the rabid Trump people on my FB have gotten a bit quiet lately. Hmm

cozietoesie · 12/04/2017 17:37

The reality may be sinking in?

GingerIvy · 12/04/2017 17:39

I'd like to think so, but not really sure.

There are things said by this President on Twitter that would never pass a statesman's desk.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 12/04/2017 18:21

Equally, you could say there are things said by this president on Twitter that should never have seen the light of day. His tweets positively scream "brainfart". Hmm

Going to be many a mile got out of that one! Thanks, Kellyanne! You're the gift that keeps on giving.

Thank you everyone for these threads. I'm watching with a mixture of horror and fascination. It still all feels so unreal a lot of the time. DH always has the radio on at night and every time I wake up and hear 'President Trump' I think I've woken from
an awful nightmare and then have this awful realisation that it's actually true. I could barely stand the irony of a PP quoting 45 talking about 'crooked Hillary' Sad

This is SOP for Tillerson. He also ditched his press pool (or rather, they were 'disinvited') for his trip to Asia, although I think he ended up taking two 'cherry picked' reporters.
