Another resignation, although I doubt Trump will be shedding tears over a science envoy, whatever that may be. This one has carefully spelt out IMPEACH with his resignation letter

I notice he didn't say 'Dear' Mr President. Smile Never heard of a letter that started thusly.

cozietoesie · 23/08/2017 20:48

That Rabbinical groups' cancellation - and announcement thereof - is actually ........not insignificant.

Oh what a good letter that is Sleip. I just feel sorry for these people who have had their positions for decades and are forced to resign because of the actions of The Fat Orange One.

Sorry if this has already been posted. Maybe it will be embarrassment rather than anger that finally ousts 45.

Hello everyone, just popping my was above the parapet again to post this interesting article from last night's Phoenix rally- I am genuinely so fascinated to unpick trump's continuing appeal but it's really hard on social media because of all the #maga crap and the mudslinging/bot-spotting. However, reading these people's testimonies is fascinating. There does seem to be a deep-rooted abhorrence for the mainstream media with all sorts of terms like Marxist, Leftist, Socialist etc being banded around. Tbf, I think the media is for the most part dead set against trump. However, a president with an instinct for political wrangling and a team of shit hot PR and Press advisors should be able to strategically steer him through this so that he can work with them rather than pit himself against them so completely. He is an absolute fucker, and not a very bright one at that. However these people seem not to begrudge him his right to e this way at all. Am baffled. Anyway, here it all is: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/aug/23/trump-supporter-interviews-phoenix-arizona-rally?CMP=fb_gu

cozietoesie · 23/08/2017 22:32

Yes. I read it earlier. Still musing on it.

cozietoesie · 23/08/2017 22:34

That post was referring to the Guardian piece.
