Trump: yes, we have no Steve Bannon

[PerkingFaintly]

"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."

But these days they have scanning and supercomputers with superalgorithms.

And robots

And emails.

Is something happening to some Democrats?

Democrats Who Want Corporate Tax Cuts Aren't Your Friend

Sell out? Flirting with Republican voters?

... and hackers.

I think he thinks he's positioning himself for 2020, Lweji.

By sharing a platform with Republicans?

Anyway, more YoungTurks

Blame Republicans for doing nothing to address climate change.
Blame Republicans and Trump for being against Obama´s EO for regulation of flood preparedness and prevention of new buildings and roads.

Which reminds me. It seems that evacuation was deemed as not appropriate for Houston, given the chaos of previous floods.
However, surely, if there was a flood defence plan in place, those in homes and buildings at risk, particularly those in buildings such as homes for the elderly, etc, should have been warned, and evacuated or taken to safer areas.
It all seemed very rabbit caught in the headlights.

Probably.

He's run against Pelosi in the past.

Lots of jokes on twitter about waiting for the colour of the smoke coming out of the embassy to turn white so we'd know thst a new president had been chosen

BREAKING: #NorthKorea has developed a hydrogen bomb which can be mounted on a new ICBM, per Pyongyang's state media.

If true: yikes
.... But keep in mind: North Korea lied about testing a hydrogen bomb last yr. It turned out to be a regular fission bomb.

I reckon he'll leave it to the 'Generals' to make the final decision - then blame them if/when it goes wrong.

Tremors reported in North Korea - apparently they have tested their 'nuclear fission' bomb underground. This is still a breaking story.

Not good. This just keeps escalating.

And what is trump doing amidst this worrying time? Retweeting this shit of course

It would be so nice to wake up to good news for once.

Amen to that OYBBK

Is that an Amen by Presidential Proclamation?

It's really frightening.

I think I'm probably veering into tin foil hat territory but the timing of this happening just after the Russian embassy episode seems suspicious to me. It might be far fetched but I did also just come across this on twitter

Putin, on Friday: US/NK on edge of large-scale conflict; "misguided" to pressure NK to stop nuclear missile program

Putin has KGB agents protecting Kim Jong Un, has increased aid since Feb and helped build the NK nuke Program over the past 2 decades..

Putin has been using NK as a threat to the US for months specifically when Trump took office. Their aid significantly increased in Feb.

Also a mini thread mobile.twitter.com/olgaNYC1211/status/894032586401607680

Affirmative, Madame President!

This too (but there aren't any source links so treat accordingly)

Replying to @olgaNYC1211, @JNeving, and @Kris_Sacrebleu
Clearly need to look at Russia's influence over the past 2 decades. NK scientists trained in Russian labs for the nuke program

Just seen a clip of DT in Texas after visiting Harvey victims. WTAF is up with him...
'everyone's happy. It's been a wonderful thing. For the country to watch and for the world to watch, it's beautiful'

Unbelievable.

It feels like we've all disappeared down Alice's rabbit hole.

That's me in the picture. I've never even been to Texas before.

NK are claiming hydrogen bomb test was successful.
