Justin Trudeau has done a nice video (in both French & English) to commemorate the first day of Ramadan. The tone is very much around how Canadian Muslims have made the country a better place and I can't help but think it's a pointed slur of Scrotus.

I'll try and find a link...

SanFranBear · 30/05/2017 20:12

Just realised it was posted four days ago - apologies.

Speaking of Canadian Muslims, has anyone watched Little Mosque on the Prairie?

I suspect the US needs something like this series.

@realDonaldTrump has gained over 5 mil followers in less than 3 days. Take a look- mostly bots. He's getting ready for something.

It'll be interesting to see if/how these new bots/fake accts coordinate w/ pro-Trump media outlets like Breitbart, Infowars, Gateway Pundit.

Fox now spewing Collusion is not a Crime. Wtf! Watching Fox certainly is.

I don't understand the bots thing. Is this about an avalanche of tweets and retweets? 5 million accounts is mind boggling.

cozietoesie · 30/05/2017 21:31

He's trying to beat He Who Must Not Be Named. (Or someone is doing it to persuade him that he's liked.)

Rumours that Germany intel has loads of documentation/tapes of people talking about/verifying info in dossier, including that Russia has the dirt on Trump, which is apparently why he is trying to dirty up the relationship with Germany.

I'm sure the NSA could give an informed opinion on bot accounts.

I don't understand the bots thing. Is this about an avalanche of tweets and retweets?

I don't really understand but from what I'm seeing on Twitter there's something like 5,000 following DT every half an hour and it's up to huge numbers, and regular twitter a/cs (non bots) that follow DT are being blocked. Someone said it was what's going on in his 'War Room' he's set up to combat the Russia allegations - apparently it's a war on social media...
