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!

Keep cool, Pain.

It would be irresponsible but I don't think he cares. He's feeling things slipping out of control.

Trump’s Fake War on the Fake News
The president puts on a big show of assaulting his “opposition” in the news media. But inside the White House, it’s a different story.

Eventually, but at a later date so we can get started early, Mexico will be paying, in some form, for the badly needed border wall.

Apologies if this has already been posted:
The suspicions about Abdus-Salaam’s death have been fueled in part by the death of another African American judge the day before in Illinois. Cook County criminal court Judge Raymond Myles was shot April 10 outside his home in Chicago in what police are calling a robbery.

Abdus Salaam was a keen swimmer too apparently.

Will no one hack Trump's emails

Not POTUS but Trump's personal emails, even from before the election.

Although, upon reflection, he may well not have a personal email. He doesn't look like the person who likes to write (apart from short tweets).

This is an interesting thread but it's quite long and I can't copy it all:
