Interesting. I thought Anonymous' choice of words & specifically reference to antisemitism had the potential to inflame intentions & fan antisemitic feeling, particularly when all POC and Muslims are also being targetted.

badbadhusky · 14/08/2017 11:30

Tensions, not intentions ^

Love that speech Perking.

PerkingFaintly · 14/08/2017 11:38

Yes, I'm finding the very specific reference to "Jewish people" in that statement odd, given the context.

PerkingFaintly · 14/08/2017 11:42

Sorry, that was in response to bathilda and badbad.

It all feeds the feeling that "nothing is knowable, so pick your favourite belief". Which is a tactic of disruption.

The Obstructionist Democrats have given us (or not fixed) some of the worst trade deals in World History. I am changing that fast!

Luther Strange of the Great State of Alabama has my endorsement. He is strong on Border & Wall, the military, tax cuts & law enforcement.

I was just going to say that anon message seemed a bit odd when I saw the independent post. It would be pointless for them to take it down when godaddy were already doing it and I was hmm about the mention the idea of sending someone round in person. It just reads as a bit off from their previous messages.

He is up and tweeting again.

He is up and hoping to change the subject with dodgy capitalisation. What an exaggeration, I wonder what the Native Americans think about this 'worst trade deals in World History' business...

Also, does anyone know where we are with the nuclear war thing? I'd like to know whether I should shell out for a haircut this weekend or if it's pointless

Roussette · 14/08/2017 12:35

I shall be interested to hear what this is all about. The Mooch is guesting on Stephen Colbert's show, he knows all the dirt and an explosive advert has been taken out to run in the middle of the show?

The fact that he's not responded himself to the calls to call out white supremacism speaks volumes.

I hope the GOP are listening.

Natsku · 14/08/2017 12:40

Agree that the supposed Anonymous message was odd, they wouldn't be sending people round in person as that rather goes against the whole being anonymous thing.

I notice the UK hate preacher, Hopkins, is at it again this morning.

bathildabagshot1 · 14/08/2017 12:55

Abu Hopkins fails to point out in her post that the Republican party have courted the perpetrators of these actions and galvanised them and that those that galvanise Islamic fundamentalism are the allies of the Republican party.

She's just a hypocritical ass wipe.

cozietoesie · 14/08/2017 13:06

The bad typo in the alleged Anonymous message had me going Naaaaaaaah. Wink I grant you that there's nothing incompatible between hacking and lousy spelling but there was just something about it.......

EXCLUSIVE: Emails Say Whole Trump Family Participated In SoHo Hotel Criminal Enterprise

LukeCagesWife · 14/08/2017 14:13

Trump's recent tweet:
Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council, he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!

Now, This Kenneth Frazier statement:

I am resigning from the President's American Manufacturing Council.

Our country's strength stems from its diversity and the contributions made by men and women of different faiths, races, sexual orientations and political beliefs.

America’s leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy, which run counter to the American ideal that all people are created equal.
As CEO of Merck and as a matter of personal conscience, I feel a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism.

Thank you Kenneth Frazier (not that I knew who were were but thank you).

Merkel has spoken out about Charlottesville, anything from our lot yet?

AcrossthePond55 · 14/08/2017 14:29

Scrotus has to put a 'spin' on Frazier's resignation. He certainly can't say "Yeah, he's right!".

As if Scrotus really cares about lowering drug prices. Wonder if Scrotus is willing to show us how much of his money is invested in big pharma and if he's going to start returning the fat dividend checks he gets.

Asshole!

cozietoesie · 14/08/2017 14:38

Is that the second or the third resignation from that Council?

lionheart · 14/08/2017 14:38

PM May did condemn the deplorables (yesterday, I think).

CaveMum · 14/08/2017 14:42

This on Twitter sums it up:

"It is not a courageous moral stand to say "No, we will not cater to Nazis." That should be the baseline."
