Trump leaks are better than Comey leaks: winning!

My gift to you:

Do you think that Trump reads Mumsnet, and that's why he wants to postpone his state visit?

Metal, no way!

This thread alone is over 300 posts long and somewhat lacking in maps, graphs and pictures. Also, MN formatting options don't allow for bullet points.

He'd get as far as post 4 and reach the end of his attention span.

He could have been attracted by that delightful image on the OP.

He'd be stuck at that awful picture in the 1st post & wouldn't bother reading anything else, assuming we were all fawning over him.

1st thing I see on twitter this morning http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/337340-mccain-says-american-leadership-was-better-under-obama-report

I hope he reads that

... his aides might give him a 'news digest' every day.

imagine one page saying 'mumsnet says' :o

Can he really be so lacking?

And how much more can he withstand?

Sorry to go back to Mueller, but looking at how the story came out, I looks like the WH did it to get a feeling for how it would be received.
Interesting that it came from a friend of Trump but in Sessions' hearing they called it something like unsubstantiated rumour by the press.

It looks like it will come when there's a big enough distraction.

From the last link:

He said the complaint from members of Congress was “the weirdest one” because a court ruling that would for the first time in 230 years define what constituted an emolument would also cover them. “They could be really shooting themselves in the foot,” he said.

I'm sure it would shoot many GOP members.
But at this point point I suspect Democrat members consider the risk worthy.

Thanks Dumdedum, although I am regretting my impulse to put that delightful image front-centre. I see warrior Trump every time I open the thread/click on a new page/etc. etc. So very sorry

More troubles for Ivanka's brand. From the great family life defender.

"The reality of working in a factory making clothes for Ivanka Trump’s label has been laid bare, with employees speaking of being paid so little they cannot live with their children, anti-union intimidation and women being offered a bonus if they don’t take time off while menstruating."

I'm all for boycotting it.

Interesting to see how well the Trump brand, with all its hideous offshoots, will hold its value.

That's no way to refer to Eric Trump lion

Still at Sessions.

That man either has an appalling memory or is covering up something

Either way, he looks out of his depth.

Pain I thought I toned it down.

If his memory is so bad he needs to take a time out. If not, he may end up enduring a different kind of rest.

Do you think he realises how awful it looked or is his vision as distorted as the other Trumpers?

Here is one view of what happens when you cosy up to the Swamp Monster:

In case pictures are the way to lure Trump to MN:

Here's a picture of the police escort that Trump got to go golfing (again) this weekend.

Do you think they were trying to say something?

Ha ha lion I can just imagine him saying, 'I'll have the the dick formation today, guys, OK?'

Listening to Morning Joe live
here. Their guest wil be the delight that is Tom Cotton.

The programme is ad heavy but if you want something to listen to whilst working, it might be interesting.

And Kamala Harris - she of fantastic question fame

#breaking: GOP Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot at GOP congressional baseball practice. 2 Capitol police officers shot

Was just going to post that Pain very disturbing

Apparently it took place at a practice for a over-100 year old tradition of a bipartisan baseball game between Republicans and Democrats, which is meant to foster good bipartisan feeling. Makes it even sadder that this happened at an event meant to promote unity.
