Our bigly armada is...somewhere! Watch out, gentleman! Trump cont..

[TheClaws]

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!

The part about Hungary is disturbing...

Such hardening attitudes are not limited to Denmark. In Germany, which accepted more than one million refugees and migrants in 2015 and faces elections in September, three mass expulsions of Afghan men have occurred since last fall. Hungary, evoking echoes of World War II, recently unveiled plans to detain asylum seekers in small enclosed villages surrounded by razor wire.

We all have to live with it, Across - no country is an island any more. (Although I appreciate that you and your family are currently the most affected directly.)

Obama will be back Monday.

Clinton was back on Thursday, talking to the LGBT community.

Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton's remarks at Center Dinner

She looks so much more relaxed. :)

And has a coherent speech too. Sigh.

Watch out mid-term elections.

People are comparing.

This 'property for sale' thing is big isn't it.... if I've got this right, he has £250M worth of mansions and condos up for sale. Anyone can buy them as a way of influencing the PM. I read somewhere (and I can't find link) he has sold a huge number since becoming PM and that unusually two thirds of them were purchased from unknown buyers, i.e. some dodgy companies have been set up to purchase them.

Surely this is an impeachment issue...

I'm on a Youtube binge today.

In case you missed Palin , here she is on that lunch with Trump (middle class touch base, apparently) and sexual harassment at FOX, with a bit of victim blaming thrown in. And did she suffer it or not?

And are those properties selling above market rate?

I'm not sure that they are Lweji,

I've found the article. There's some bulk buying by mystery buyers hiding behind Limited Liability Companies.

Try again

God, Sarah Palin is nauseating. "I invited Kid Rock and Ted Nugent dudes. Jesus was booked"

Tapper let her off very easily.

He did. I think he was hoping she'd admit to something. She didn't deny it, though.

She didn't need to. It was practically a campaign speech.

Palin has aspirations.

I don't know if it's very wise of her to associate with Trump, then. But I suppose nobody else will give her a second thought.

Lweji Even if they were bought at market value, it's still unethical IF it was done strictly to curry favour as opposed to wanting the property for 'itself' as a home or business location, IMO. A lot of these properties were bought via shell companies so there's no telling who or what 'entity' actually bought them.

Many of these properties were owned by Trump personally (as opposed to Trump Inc owning them) so the money for the sale goes directly into Trump's pocket, not into his so-called 'trust'.

Palin always had aspirations. I imagine that she finds Trump very inspiring in that regard as he is flying the flag for stupid power hungry bigots everywhere

Lweji Even if they were bought at market value, it's still unethical IF it was done strictly to curry favour

Sure. Although it might be harder to prove.

No wonder he doesn't want to reveal his tax returns!

Palin (and Trump) were mocked by Fox (erm... O'Reilly, and possibly Hannity) for being potential Presidential candidates, back in 2015.

"The Fox News host suggested Tuesday that Palin, Donald Trump, and Chris Christie were not serious candidates in the 2016 White House race. “Wow, talk about a reality show,” a smirking O’Reilly said."

How we all laugh now.

One option is that he may be selling to raise money he doesn't have...

Oh, this is going to be entertaining.

Trump to hold rally on night of White House Correspondents Dinner

In the ongoing Mensch soap opera Buzzfeed and her are having a bit of a tiff right now. I don't think this article is going to get them into her good books...though you have to admit, she is a worker.

Mensch, who sometimes tweets hundreds of times a day, has claimed or implied that targets ranging from top government officials to journalists to teenagers to anonymous Twitter users are in thrall to Vladimir Putin.

Just since Inauguration Day, according to an extensive review of her tweets, the New York–based Mensch has accused at least 210 people and organizations of being under Russian government influence.

I don't quite understand the animosity between her and jo Bernstein- he retweeted something that objectified her in an attempt to get past the twitter settings she has that help field bots? This definitely seems like retaliation for her anger towards him but I have no idea what's going on.
