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!

Starts Monday, I think.

"Tucker Carlson will be moving from 9 p.m. to take over O'Reilly's 8 p.m. slot, while "The Five" will move to 9 p.m. with new co-host Jesse Watters. Eric Bolling, who had been a co-host of "The Five," is taking the 5 p.m. hour by himself, though his new show will not debut until May 1."

This would be the 'Ocare' that 45 was going to let lie and move on from?

Thanks woman. (I hadn't actually seen that one. Grin). I guess that this weekend will see further treatment of the patient? Wink

Congrats CaveMum!

Do people think Louise Mensch is generally right lately? Just because she's accused some people I know (but not very well) of being part of the 'Russian' hacking group (Ex-Lulzsec members) and they steadfastly deny it so wondering who to believe.

MrsT2007 · 19/04/2017 21:28

She's working with some proven people so I think that helps.

Sheesh if she is right they're all screwed

1/ Short thread here. In light of the Admin's down-the-rabbit-hole strange misstatements about the location of the USS Carl Vinson...

2/ I want to re-up another weird and still unexplained thing that happened Friday night concerning the Pentagon.

3/ Late on Thurs night, @TheHill posted this story about the gigantic bomb the US mil dropped in Afghanistan: goo.gl/oKPXsC

4/ That article was notable for this strange, un-CENTCOM-like statement attributed to "a CENTCOM spokesman": pic.twitter.com/P8qhvkHC7T

5/ Then Friday, CENTCOM put out a press release saying basically, 'Uh, that wasn't us." I've never seen anything quite like this from DOD: pic.twitter.com/1Ca4nc7MuP

6/ CENTCOM never explained who it was that gave that statement as if they were a spokesman...

7/ (We asked, they wouldn't say).

8/ Also, the odd "that wasn't our spokesman" release is not on the site where CENTCOM posts its press releases: www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/PRESS-RELEASES/

9/ Also, look at the "Release Number" on the "that wasn't our spokesman" press release: 20170414-01... pic.twitter.com/tIxbq9f169

This likely means....
It means somebody in the Trump admin put out a stmt on behalf of CENTCOM unauthorized

Replying to @maddow @thehill
10/ There is actually a CENTCOM Press Release coded with that number... but it's a totally different thing: goo.gl/66Swcv

11/ So: now we've got a DOD statement that someone said things to a reporter that DOD disavows, but we don't know who the person was...

Congratulations Cavemum and nice bigly baby.
Wondering if 45 is in fact reverting to week 1 and sending Armada to attack Australia.
Someone upthread suggested that Trump could play Risk. I just instantly thought 'but he does not have the cognitive ability for a board game'.Hmm

AcrossthePond55 · 19/04/2017 22:01

Congratulations CaveMum on your lovely squooshy baby boy!! Love and blessings on you both.

I think I shall go wet the baby's head. And another to toast a not-so-bon-voyage to O'Reilly! Grin

I think the Labour problem is partly Corbyn and partly the rest of the Labour party that thinks they can just kick off and whinge because they don't like Corbyn. FFS. He was voted in, deal with it, and unite and bloody DO something!

“Whether you’re trying to win a Super Bowl or rebuild our country, as Coach Belichick would say, ‘There are no days off.’ ”

"Unless you're golfing", fails to say Trump at Patriots reception.
