The one where Trump just can't stop being Trump

Time for a new 'un.

The former US Ambassador to Denmark and Obama's 2012 finance director says GOP needs to realize Trump is robbing from their 2018 war chest.

The recents attacks on Mika and Joe seem to be a problem for lots of the GOP (although of course it's expressed as "concern" and "disappointment" as opposed to actual action or opposition).

There's a good clip of joy Reid telling a concerned republican that this shouldn't be a surprise because trump has always been this way here: shareblue.com/joy-reid-to-dismayed-trump-endorser-surprise-trump-is-just-what-you-knew-hed-be/

I think there may be something amiss with LM but I don't know what exactly.

The point about the money is an interesting one -- Lord knows they are going to need in in 2018.

I have not seen The Apprentice either but I reckon it would need to be more that the N-word for it to have made any difference. In fact, I have no idea what the tipping point will be when it comes to DT's behaviour.

lionheart she was pro trump and anti Hillary until recently and since she's become anti-trump her methods of "resistance" have included disparaging the marches, accusing people like maddow, Malcolm nance of being deza, threatening to dox people who question her, and apart from the fisa article, keeps promising trump is being indicted citing very shadowy evidence and using very vague predictions that are then easy to say were valid later on.

The sum of her actions has been to sow disinformation and discord so I just don't think she's someone who is genuinely trying to oppose trump.

SorryI should have been clearer about thatwhat I was trying to say (diplomatically) was that I don't think she is exactly stable.

I don't read her.

That is a good policy.

Don't have puppy pictures and it is early for gin but I rather like this:

Writing the Constitution

Blimey, I pop out for a day or two three and this is where you all get to!

Battle stations, chaps!
He's sneaking in...

That's extraordinary, actually, lion.

I thought it might be earlier, NorthWest. That present - the saddle? - is doubtless burning a hole in his pocket?

It is good, isn't it?

Funnily enough, I was just thinking about a trip to Scotland but it doesn't look as if there is much scope for protest unless you could figure out the logistics (or take up golf).

Well. Brenda isn't getting any younger..........

This piece is two or three days old. Still.....

Trump global research

I'm starting to get pretty sure that LM is actually on Trump's side and is trying to weaken the resistance by making people think everything is in hand already plus all the bullying and false accusations. She still thinks my brother is a Russian agent and wants him to die in prison in America (literally said horrid things like that) and is obsessed with the idea that he's connected Cassandra Fairbanks.

Yes, that sounds plausible, Natsku.

WtAF is this (apart from an unfortunate view of DT's arse)?

Oh my life. Trumps just completely lost it on twitter- he's posted a video of himself beating up a superimposed logo of CNN in a wrestling arena. It's completely unhinged- hoping to god someone's hidden the nuclear football seriously far away from the Oval Office 😱

I really hope that it's a genuine story from CNN that takes him down. I wonder if he realises that all this media attack does is encourage journalists to dig deeper and to really encourage them to find out what's going on.

The more he attacks them, the stronger they become.

I do fear for America though.

Topical!

How the Left Lost Its Mind

Polemicists, conspiracists, and outright fabulists are feeding an alternative media landscape—where the implausibility of a claim is no bar to its acceptance.

The video from trump is just awful. I believe sarah huckabee sanders was defending him only this week
saying that he hadn't incited violence against the press.

He must have had help adding the CNN logo to that video - he is notably 'un-techie'.

Possibly assisted by this piece of work:
Dan Scavino was Trump’s golf caddy as a teenager. Now he’s his social media director.

Oh, I've now seen that he pinched it from a subscriber on Reddit on t'internet!
I was trying to think of something pithy to say about him using his valuable presidential time trawling the internet but... Trump

The more he attacks them, the stronger they become

Really?

Trump winning.. again.

Not sure why you would support a news network which literally admitted to pushing fake news. I wonder how people would react if it was Fox instead. #Consistency

Papers and media make mistakes. Even Presidents do. Some Presidents seem to do that a lot.
