100 days in - congrats to us all for keeping sane on the Trump train

[TheClaws]

The Trump thread continued. We are all LEGENDS!

Something to read

Kremlin critic Aleksei Navalny says he's largely blind in one eye after an assailant threw a liquid in his face t.co/iKAArMCntq?amp=1

Here's another, perking

The New York Times @nytimes
"We campaigned for Brexit," said Tony Gallagher, the editor of The Sun. "I don't think we caused Brexit."

It would help if I attached the link!

Second link lands in the same place, with that Tony Gallagher quote.

Worth linking twice, though.

It's the sort of article you'd never get within the UK press - can only be written by an outsider looking in, with no skin in the UK game.

Does DT have shares in Twitter? :)

Twitter says every world leader should tweet like Donald Trump
"Twitter’s monthly users increased by 9 million (or 6%), to 328 million, in the first quarter of the year compared to a year ago. Its daily users increased by 14% in that same time period"

Whoops didn't read the second one!

Maybe he does have shares and this is all a performance piece to boost sales

She's really starting to get on my tits now, she seems to think his extradition has to do with Russian election hacking and can't seem to understand his case is several years old already.

So, Putin hasn't had the courage to defenestrate Aleksei A. Navalny. Just blind him.

Wouldn't it be brilliant if the first legislative accomplishment is be a lgbtq bill? With republicans holding so much power it's unlikely to get through but one can hope.

I note the new phrase used in the article.

'Mouth rattling'.

George Takei on Twitter

FBI's Comey to testify on #RussiaGate, so Trump readies anti-LGBT Exec Order for same day as a diversion. Needs overhead for transparency.

The headline from one of the links posted by ginger is sort of amazing

China tells US and North Korea to ‘stop irritating each other’

Sounds like they are going to be made to sit at opposite ends of the classroom until they learn to behave

....Needs overhead for transparency....
