I'm paying attention.

This has a horrible (fake) pic but:

'Far-right activists are using fake Twitter accounts and images of battered women to smear anti-fascist groups in the US, an online investigation has revealed.'

been weird to see them moving from cuck and pepe memes to very traditional "protect the white women" fascist propaganda

Is Putin supporting Trump?

Naw, Putin could care less.

Trump’s a pawn Putin is using to attack the US on 2 fronts. /1

Everyone knows about Putin’s alt-right pro-Trump trolls. He's using left-wing anti-Trump trolls too. Exhibit A: meet @MarcusC22973194 /2

God does indeed move in a mysterious way.

^German magazine depicts Trump giving Nazi salute on cover
The headline is a reference to Adolf Hitler's autobiography^

Trump's top spiritual adviser says opposing him is 'fighting against the hand of God'. God does indeed move in a mysterious way.

Well, yes.
Herod, Pilates and Judas served their purposes.

But then God also sent John the Baptist, the Apostles, Mary, and, of course, Jesus.

They need to figure out on what side they need to be.

Or Pilate...

Although Pilates may also be god inspired, who knows?

Would God really do that to us?

Ouch

Presser on

There's a lot from SHS saying "I haven't had a chance to talk to the President about that, I'll get back to you"

@shannoncoulter
Here's my surprised face that the dude Donald retweeted this morning is a florid misogynist & homophobe.

Liberal women ugly inside and out... that's shocking.

(Obviously both tweets are vile and shocking)

He's compared himself to the Moon and Obama to the Sun

Be not the moon since she is pale and sick with grief that thou her maid art far more fair than she. Her vestal livery is but sick and green and none but fools do wear it.

As the man said (sort of 'cos I CBA to Google it)

Meanwhile.

18 days after we learned Trump—via Nunes—secretly dispatched agents to find Steele, we now learn Steele has briefed the FBI. No coincidence.
2) Trump hoped to get to Chris Steele before the FBI did—afraid he'd clam up once he'd spoken to Mueller. But Trump was too late, thank God.
3) Now the FBI has Steele's sources—and Grassley plans to release Glenn Simpson's testimony on the dossier. And Trump becomes MORE volatile.
4) America must view Trump as a longtime criminal who knows the noose is tightening and his gig is almost up. Explains his erratic behavior.
5) We're hearing more concerns from the GOP, Clapper, and others about Trump's stability because a cornered animal is very, very dangerous.
6) Trump should never have had the nuclear codes—now he's running our military at a time he might think war is his only escape from scandal.
7) The Russia scandal is THE story in the world today because our president, it's now clear, is influenced by it in every decision he makes.
8) Congress can tie Trump's hands on sanctions, firing Mueller and appointing a new AG, but they can't usurp the role of Commander-in-Chief.

for impromptu effort, conserve!

Delurk more conserve!

Can anyone remind me of the link to the long detailed article about how crap Trump is at business, the one where it talks about his daddy bailing him out lots & the failed casinos?

Yes, conserve.

Good advice here.

Here's an Indy article, bad. It's 2016 but still useful.

Trump as businessman

Thanks Cozie.

I luffs you guys.

I forgot 'arise fair sun and kill the envious moon'

I think we can agree that Obama taking DT out with a long range sniper rifle was what Shakespeare had in mind there?

Shakespeare had that weird prescient thing going on, for sure.

Yes keep posting conserve, I like the prose!
