Whoops indeed.

The story from Virginia is so awful.

Just when you thought it could not get any worse, Kellyanne comes to the rescue:

This is interesting on 'surveillance capitalism':

Russia says it will treat US-led coalition planes in Syria, west of the Euphrates, as targets after US downed Syrian jet.

I saw that the new Top Gun movie in being prepared. Hmm

More seriously, let's home someone sees sense and keeps calm.

BossyBitch · 19/06/2017 16:58

Ironic? Seriously now (or maybe meant to be ironic, too)?

Trump would not recognize irony if it hit him over the head with an iron(ic) bar.

Point in case: 'nobody respects women more than me'.

Lweji · 19/06/2017 17:03

It's alternative irony, I suppose.

lionheart · 19/06/2017 17:16

Inverted irony? Double irony? Ironic irony?

Nope, just Trump digging his hole even deeper. Smile

A Beast article.

Why Trump doesn't need Fox News anymore

cozietoesie · 19/06/2017 17:37

In some ways, I agree with that piece, NorthWest. My lodestone has always been not just that 45 is a stupid and immensely manipulable man but, primarily, that he's deeply corrupt. So corrupt that he no longer recognises the issue in himself or others.

When does a terrorist attack in Britain get a tweet and when doesn't one get a tweet?

I was about to say something about Trump being Schrodinger's president & only being able to tell when he's being presidential by checking his Twitter account, but there's nothing presidential about his Twitter feed. Sad

cozietoesie · 19/06/2017 19:30

I suspect, Orlantina, that the answer is determined by whether or not he's felt moved to phone to officially commiserate. As to why he should phone? Beats me..............

They have to go. Wink

I have had to leave twitter so am relying on this thread for all my updates. I found the shear bombardment of an alternative reality very frustrating and massively scary. I have never been one to worry before but I am worried about the world my children will grow up into.

PerkingFaintly · 19/06/2017 20:32

I too am weary, and needing to rest up a little before rejoining the fray.

Time for Cake and Brew for the whole thread! Plenty to go round, lurkers at the back! Help yourselves!Grin

Persist, thedc. Persist.

The Trump Administration Has A New Plan For Dealing With Russia
A new classified document by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson lays out a new path for Russia and the US. But does the president, weighed down by scandal and investigation, support it?

Glad it is useful to you cd. Smile

We will need to move to a new safe house soon because this thread is filling up.

cozietoesie · 19/06/2017 20:45

....we'll remain in place even if it isn't explicitly stated..... (my emphasis)

Uh Huh.

cozietoesie · 19/06/2017 20:51

There's little point even analysing it. 45 will, after all, do exactly what he feels like depending on Oh....the quarter of the moon and how many scoops of his favourite ice-cream he received.........

GOP Data Firm Accidentally Leaks Personal Details of Nearly 200 Million American Voters
