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

I'm paying attention.

That's very ill-advised. McConnell still knows all the..........deposition sites. And he's hurting.

What are the markets saying?

Maybe he is not mentally ill.

Maybe he realised straight away that he doesnt like the job and has spent the last 7 months fucking it up so that someone will step up and fire his arse with a payout so that Melania doesn't chew him out for resigning without another job to go to.

I was by this title.

Thank God for the honesty and integrity of Donald Trump, America's moral compass during these difficult times
"Trump called the groups opposed to the Nazis the 'alt-left' and it’s about time we had an appropriate name for extremists whose views are so militant that they’re opposed to Nazis"

But then
"Who’s to know who were the violent ones, out of Nazis who killed someone, or the ones that weren’t Nazis, one of whom was killed by the Nazis? It’s like a particularly tricky episode of Inspector Morse."

And you breath a sigh of relief.

It looks like GOP didn't get the memo, then.

They are doing their best to keep him there.

Sure, they condemn KKK et al, but when it comes the time to actually face Trump, they seem stumped.

Mueller's team. A Beast piece.

My comment was tongue in cheek of course.

My comment was tongue in cheek of course

Yes, but the truth is often said in jest.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to work as President. Just to be President.

It's rather worrying overall.
I see signs from other early, now well developed, dictatorships.

Just caught up with Trump's twitter feed. I do like how he has to inform us of how his speeches were intended to sound, all of them come across as angry rants from a deranged lunatic to me

I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to work as President. Just to be President.

Very true. It was easier to armchair rant at Obama, he obviously didnt think this through properly. He craves the adultation (rallies) the power, the bullying etc.

However, the rage is largely at people who do not agree with him, anyone who has seen NarcRage recognises this extreme version.

As I have said before, I will not be surprised if at some point he says: 'you know what, Fuck Y'all [hand swipe]. I gave up my life for you ungrateful bastards, I offered my expert services for free yet all you and the Dems bitched and moaned. I'm off, see if second rate loser Obama will take you back. Russia will appreciate my talents MRGA'

Mind you I had hoped similar of T May's post election statement. Except she had a wheelie suitcase and kind of shouted into the mike while walking down and out downing street.

1. So there's THIS happening, too. Know what this means? WH can't have Russia-tied ppl visit without being found out anymore.

1. PLEASE focus on the combination of LAST NIGHT'S NYT story on McConnell fighting with Trump AND the CNN one from 2 hrs ago on COLLUSION.

1. The WH is on fire, literally, and it doesn't look like people realize. This CNN story is so huge, I can't even begin to explain.

1. Last night's NYT story was OBVIOUSLY an act of war that McConnell carefully studied. It ALL came from McConnell people.

1. In case people have doubts, McConnell RUNS the GOP. Ryan is utterly irrelevant compared to McConnell. THIS is Turtle telling Trump [gif of cartoon characters with the words "bitch I will cut you"]

6. Then we have CNN tonight revealing Dearborn EMAIL to arrange Putin meeting with Trump & people. Do people realize how huge this is?

1. Let me just be clear, this is Trump's DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF, who is also the former CoS for SESSIONS, making arrangements for meeting

1. This dude, Dearborn, is ALSO the guy who brought CARTER PAGE onto the Trump campaign. CNN story here:

1. There has been a LOT of misdirection and mis-attribution on who brought Page on to Trump campaign. Truth is IT WAS DEARBORN

10. Dearborn brought Page onto campaign when they needed a foreign policy expert. SEE POLITICO here www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/09/the-mystery-of-trumps-man-in-moscow-214283

11. Politico itself tried to misdirect there but the row of comment refusals there too indicates the FIRST version, about Dearborn, is true.

12. It now seems all the more relevant bc DUH... guess who emailed "Wv" about potential meetings between Trump campaign and Putin? Dearborn.

13. now as @3L3V3NTH swiftly reported... "WV" is most likely West Virginia gov who sold an EMPTY coal mine to Russia for $100s millions

14. And then bought it back for little to nothing.But hey, no collusion. No that's right. THIS, if intent is proven, is CONSPIRACY.

15. And that's why those WH logs MATTER, among other things. And why this story breaking now is no coincidence. Things are HEATING UP.

16. And don't forget that meantime, Steele has talked to the FBI and given them names of all his sources. That means? CORROBORATION.

17. More than that, because a lot of corroboration has already happened but isn't public for obvious reasons, it means MORE corroboration.

18. And more corroboration for the Steele dossier can only be on one thing: COLLUSION, bc most of the rest is known already.

19. So strap in and do NOT get distracted. Don't let Dondon and his pathetically transparent distractions fool you. RUSSIA is where it's at.

(I don't think the White House is literally on fire but the rest seems positive!)

Not at all like a dictatorship then KAC

I suspect that KAC is fighting to maintain her position.

KAC is one of the few remaining high profile people at the WH, isn't she?

Listening to her, she complained how the media didn't report news but also had to comment on them so much.
Presumably we're all supposed to listen to what Trump says without fact checking or any sort of interpretation or analysis of the consequences.

This sounds familiar (news obsession).

Mr O'Donnell on the Rally a couple of nights ago.

Howdoyoufeelnow I thought DTs ridiculous tweets about his speeches were amazing. Apparently we now have to work out from context whether he is aiming for stern and presidential or fun and frivolous and adjust our expectations accordingly. According to the comments below his tweet he took three attempts to spell it right, finding himself fuddled by words like too and their. My 7yr old dd has the same problem, so I can sympathise.

She's one of the few remaining 'old guard', Yes. At the moment, I suspect she's trying to prove that she actually does something - at least as far as the public is concerned.
