FMOTUS: F***ing Moron of the United States (Trump) thread continued

And as I love giving you images to haunt your dreams, here’s another one, blasphemously titled ‘Our Lord and Saviour’.

There was a woman in the paper a little while ago with a similar story. Hmmmm, white supremacists protesting too much, eh?

Thanks cozie.

I think we could modify the current topics to avoid having too many. What about

“Am I being Treasonable?”
“Potty (mouth in) Training”
“Weight-Ing for impeachment watchers”
Telly addicts (maybe that doesn’t need changing)

Thank goodness! It’s finally being looked at here

A Suspected Network Of 13,000 Twitter Bots Pumped Out Pro-Brexit Messages In The Run-Up To The EU Vote

The social media giant has been urged by a senior MP to reveal what it knows about potential interference in the referendum after researchers discovered a bot network that vanished within weeks of the vote.

Has 45 condemned the video?

No and I doubt that he would.

And the NRA-ites will drink that up like mother's milk. And Scrotus never condemns anything that says anything good about him, no matter how egregious. Witness his refusal to condemn white supremacists.

Is this anything? She asks in ignorant hope. Trump adviser on Ukraine

Also interesting and frankly, puzzling.

Lara Trump, who does not work at the WH, says she read a transcript of Trump's call with Johnson's widow (at 1:14).

In case you missed it, these 3 white supremacist supporters of Richard Spencer were charged w/ attempted homicide

Right now, Richard Spencer is explaining how he wants to create a white ethnostate in America. #SpencerAtUF
“We created this country and by we, I mean white men," Richard Spencer says. #SpencerAtUF
#RichardSpencer says "peaceful ethnic cleansing" is possible.

Sorry not yesterday, on Thursday

(We created this country and by we, I mean white men," Richard Spencer says. #SpencerAtUF
#RichardSpencer says "peaceful ethnic cleansing" is possible*

Perhaps we could let them live somewhere to demonstrate this. Only white men. Nobody else. No contributions at all from anyone else.

Very sweary response to your bold words, Pain.

Things are moving quite quickly this week. Sanders yesterday stating that generals aren’t to be questioned is a big move towards authoritarianism, and although there has been a bit of a pushback (WaPo running a piece saying they think Kelly should apologise), it’s unlikely that there’ll be any consequences for the lying. Voting suppression is being pushed and there is no move to stem it. There’s been rollbacks on women’s rights and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping. And now trump has issued a spontaneous memo about miltiary justice but even more worryingly, revised an eo about military service that means he can recall retired service members into action. Why is this necessary? What has he planned?

@ddale8
The White House just released this statement about the president's views on military justice. What prompted it?

[im not saying this prompted it but in other news:

Very bad sign, with many possibilities as to how this could be used for autocratic aims. Wondering what legal scholars are making of it.

I hadn’t heard of the Virginian plot.

There was extremely limited coverage of this which took place less than two weeks ago. I wonder what the commonalities are?
