As the armada appears in waters nowhere near where it was said to be, Trump blusters on in his usual dignified, courtly manner. Easter weekend had us worried about nuclear strikes; DT put a fair bit of work into his golf swing. Business as usual! Carry on, everyone!

Strewth!

Part of the problem - leaving aside (!) the corruption etc - is that 45 has always had someone else to pick up the pieces after he went wrong. Usually the Federal Government. If, however, he bankrupts the whole country...........

Natsku · 21/04/2017 22:00

Wow, never knew about the shutting down the government thing, that's intense.

cozietoesie · 21/04/2017 22:01

Oh Yes - and it's happened recently if I recall?

VP Mike Pence once wrote "Working mothers stunt emotional growth of children"

I guess his mom worked.

Two thoughts on this. 1- the constant complaining about single mothers not working and living on welfare ... and 2 - he really does want us back into the 50's (can't decide if he's going for 1950 or 1850)

What about working fathers?

De Blasio administration dismisses sanctuary city warning from Department of Justice politi.co/2q0gGZs

GingerIvy · 21/04/2017 22:55

Mort I believe Pence is of the ilk that feels women should be cleaning the house, cooking the dinner, barefoot and pregnant, while the menfolk go out and earn a living. He's also not keen on them voting or having any kind of say in their own reproductive system.

He's a twat.

cozietoesie · 21/04/2017 22:56

Remind me. Isn't there some legal problem about withholding federal funds from 'Sanctuary Cities'? I have a vague memory about it.

GingerIvy · 21/04/2017 22:57

People were asking about how involved Pence is??? This.. and note that he was well aware that Flynn was foreign agent - he was notified by numerous officials - one of which was Sally Yates. (and will be brought out in her testimony)

Well it 'could' - except it won't be built. I seem to recall official confirmation recently to that effect. More or less.

I feel my hackles rise every time I hear of holocaust denial.

My grandpa was at Bergen-Belsen shortly after it was liberated. He said any locals must have known it was there as you could smell it 6 miles away. That was the only thing he ever said, he was so traumatised by what he experienced.

cozie no, it won't be built. Wonder what ridiculous fucked up thing they're planning on doing with the funding he's trying to raise. Something to benefit his family and rich friends, I'm sure. Hmm
