This doesn't seem comical any more.

You are right, cozietoesie, may I post something I just saw. What Christopher Hitchens here says about religion makes me think of Pence and the administration now.

I can't copy all the tweets in the thread but you can see it in the link above.

So Bannon is - potentially at least - considering a 'Devil mend you'?

I so want to start a thread just for this, but given my extraordinary thread-killing powers, I'll share it here instead:

Charging Bull artist wants removal of Fearless Girl statue
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39582389

The artist of the bull wants the girl removed, because she changes the meaning of the bull. "The girl is like - 'I am here, what are you gonna do?'", he told reporters, his voice breaking at times.

Gosh. Overload is about right. Wink

GingerIvy · 13/04/2017 00:25

Pausing Meh. Another male that doesn't like women and their effect on the world. If, as an artist, he cannot accept that things change, he needs to find a new career. People, perceptions, the political swirl around a piece of art - it's always changing. The artist needs to get over himself.

He's self-absorbed. Wink

Except they aren't, and you haven't kept your promises. Small, I know, but important!

He needs to talk - it keeps his 'energy' up. Wink

Yeah, and this is how he's planning to keep one of those 'promises';

Across it is quite a study to watch how his supporters adjust over time. As they see little is occurring - and what is occurring is not what they voted for him for - they ruffle somewhat, then come back with excuses, then the support is as strong as ever. It's odd. Ever more odd that he is so very removed from most of them.

Shep Smith ‘can’t think of anything more damning’ than today’s news about Manafort and Page

www.rawstory.com/2017/04/shep-smith-cant-think-of-anything-more-damning-than-todays-news-about-manafort-and-page/amp/

"Fox News anchor Shepard Smith blasted two former Trump associates on Wednesday, foreign policy adviser Carter Page and former campaign manager Paul Manafort.

On Wednesday the FBI announced that it obtained a FISA warrant during the summer of 2016 to monitor Page’s communications. The agency felt it had ample evidence that Page was working for the Russian government’s interests.

“At the time, Carter Page was an adviser to presidential candidate Donald Trump,” Smith said at the beginning of this Wednesday broadcast. “The feds obtained a warrant after convincing a judge that there was probable cause to believe that Carter Page was acting as an agent on behalf of Russia.”

“I can’t think of anything much more damning than this,” Smith said, given how difficult it is to get a warrant to spy on a U.S. citizen."

Fact Check: Trump claimed he "didn't know" Steve Bannon until the campaign. They met in 2011.

Once again Obama fails to classify China as a currency manipulator. He just helped China steal even more jobs and money from us.
