He has to be a little leery of discussing magazine covers, though. (After his ........little local problem with one.)

He can't call McCain out on Vietnam - not after the last result. And Mueller? Would you call him out on anything?

Those tweets are quite something. I am expecting a lot of tweeting while he is on holiday.

Hmmm

"phony Vietnam con artist"

So, not a con artist. A phony con artist. Someone pretending to be a con artist.

He should know what a con artist is, so I'm sure he can recognise a phony one.

How is your weather, Lweji? I'm hearing bad things about The Continent. They mentioned Spain but not your neck of the woods. Again, it would be of course.

Mine is fine ATM. Lovely day at the beach yesterday, with just enough breeze so not too hot, and up to 26ºC today and the next two days.

Thank Goodness.

Thank you cozie.

Good God but Mr Colbert is divine.

I've been out but I'm off to read Trumpington' s tweets.

From the sublime to the ridiculous.

Rumbling away in the background.

vanity fair

Nice new thread, thank you

Thanks, lion.

This Tweet is unavailable.

When a President complains about fake news but then retweets a bot that praises him, is that fake praise?

They're going after Ryan it looks like. A Newsweek piece.

Dems bash Ryan

There's an interesting linked piece by Michael Dorf within that article. (I disagree with him in some fundamental ways.)

I popped into Smiths on the way home & bought the Lazy Boy Newsweek (£4.95!!) - I will report back/post detail when I've had a chance to read it.

(Someone is now bound to point out it is free online.)

I suspect that that's a cover to keep, though.

But you can't frame it.

words Trump has used to describe others today: "fake," "failing," "phony," "inept," "lied," "defrauded," "con artist," "child," "baby"

So presidential.

Now is a good time to repost this.

He's got his own news now. !?

To quote the memorable Comey testimony: oh lordy!

He's really on a roll, isn't he? And for a POTUS to go after an individual in this manner is surely ... erm ... unpresidented!

He seems stressed and angry and he's lashing out. So just how dangerous is he in this current state?

Wow. His tweeting is out of control! I'm unable to c&p his tweets to the thread. Could someone else do it? I wanted to capture the vilest ones.

Your wish is my command, Microwave ... behold, the Blumenthal rant in all its glory:

...conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion?

Never in U.S.history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal. He told stories about his Vietnam battles and....

Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!

And today's NYT rant - posted at practically the same time:

The Trump base is far bigger & stronger than ever before (despite some phony Fake News polling). Look at rallies in Penn, Iowa, Ohio.......

The failing @nytimes, which has made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win (apologized), is totally inept!

It is just marvellous that he's keeping all this stuff in the news cycle!

Wonderful list.

Similarly, so useful that he and his keep accusing other people of the things they're doing themselves. Tells you where to look!
