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

[TheClaws]

The Trump thread continued. We are all LEGENDS!

"People don't ask that question, but why was there the Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?"

This is really something.

Well.........the assistant to the President - while undeniably good looking - looks very young and callow. I'm sure Ivanka will take her under her wing though.

For context:

Jake Tapper @jaketapper
Jackson died in 1845. The civil war began in 1861.

Raining on the parade, Pain!

Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT
Trump appears to be back to insisting he was proven right re "tappps" "I think our side's been proven very strongly," he told @jdickerson

That civil war stuff is just...wow!...

Wasn't Jackson a Democrat?

While I don't think anyone can hope to get close to Trump in the competition for the biggest pile of mind blowing bollocks ever spoken, a special commendation for tenuous reasoning in the hope of saving face goes to Priebus.

Is it too late to plonk my nuclear armada down in the thread to hold my place? Or are we all about land-based missiles now?

Well we're certainly building up ground forces.

Ouch. She should know better.

Rodrigo Duterte says he may be too busy to accept his White House invitation nyti.ms/2ql7anU

Andrew Jackson owned 150 slaves. Plus he was responsible for the deaths of countless 1000s of Native Americans and our relocation from our ancestral lands.

Trump's mentioned more than once that he admires Jackson. As far as I'm concerned it's the same as admiring Hitler.

Replying to @mkraju @SIRIUSXM
This guy is ready to start a Nuclear war and he's asking why they couldn't work out differences in the Civil War?????????

She has a point.

Across I have to agree about Jackson. Not all of our "esteemed forefathers" were nice men. Products of their time, I suppose. Perhaps enlightened in some ways. But nice men?

It all comes down to the Tuesday Group. Here's hoping they continue to resist their own party.
