"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." Trump threads continued [title edited by MNHQ]

I'm paying attention.

I know I'm stating the obvious, but my god he's an utter idiot! What's the ONE THING they always tell you not to do during an eclipse?!

Exhibit A

Any luck on getting blind?

It will be .......interesting if Yellen isn't renominated, certainly. (Or indeed if she is - she's neither a young woman nor in the best of health if I recall.)

Sorry, haven't caught up with the thread yet, but I don't know if anyone has posted this yet: www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/21/petition-urging-terror-label-for-antifa-gets-enough-signatures-for-white-house-response.html .

De-lurking (at last, I've been here since the beginning!) to say how much that Randy Rainbow clip has cheered me up!

Right, back to feeling slightly gloomy.

It will be intriguing to see if the Mercers continue to bankroll him to his heart's content now that he's no longer 'up and coming'.

Welcome, Sorrel.

Hello Sorrel.

Why Fox news is a reliable source:

Cavemum that picture of Trump is awful. I don't know whether I'm looking at "man proving he's manly by staring out the sun" or "confused old man who's carers should have looked after him better."

Interesting piece.

As the original WH staff go (notice photo where only Pence remains), the buck stops at Trump. No more excuses that it was Bannon or Priebus or whoever. It's all Trump indeed.

Came on to post the delectable Randy Rainbow and can see Northwest beat me to it

Off back a page to watch Mr Oliver!

Not better.

Saw a nice one today, from the Edinburgh Festival:

"Trump's nothing like Hitler. There's no way he could write a book" - Frankie Boyle

Like that one, CanadianJohn. He couldn't paint a picture either...

Analysis of Trump and Afghanistan. I didn't know Kelly had lost a son there.

Can't believe I am starting to reflect on the ways Hitler was superior to Trump. A particularly mad kind of reverse Godwin's Law.

I did laugh at this from Michael Moore...

Trouble is, you could honestly believe Trump tweeting that. Nothing surprises me any more

Is that what happened to him when he and his mom accepted government assistance after his father died? He's such a hypocrite

Poll: American support for neo-Nazi views nearly double digits

They found two things that are fairly similar between Trump's and Obama's policies? Bravo!

1. it's things that were probably criticised by Trump before
2. militarily, most US presidents aren't that different. Sometimes there's just no wriggle room.
3. are they saying Trump is copying Obama? It won't go well with his base and Obama supporters are too smart to be fooled. If only he'd copy Obama on healthcare. And on diplomacy.
