As aptly dubbed by his own Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.

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

I like Kamala Harris but I fear that the pushback she’ll receive not just as a woman but a woman of colour might be insurmountable. I’d still want her to have a punt though Smile

Oh. Mr Newsom’s new BFF? Smile

Much of the electorate don’t seem to actually like HRC. (I know a good many people who voted for her or would have voted for her - but only because there was no alternative in their minds. That’s not helpful.)

lionheart · 22/10/2017 16:42

I think Kamala is terrific too but I can see from the vitriol that follows her on the social media (along with the hideous trolls) that you are absolutely right, Pain.

Well, we knew he was a moron. Anyone else would have been out on their ear by now, he is just not presidential. He's a prat. Shouldn't be allowed.

Bit behind but having read Amy Siskind's update.. I'm always amazed when I start out as the things at the top of the lost always feel like they happened weeks ago but no, just 7 days ago in the madness that is the world according to Scrotus Haloween Sad

True. Although many more dislike Trump and that's what she is welcome to talk about now.
But many people did/ do like her.

Not only her, though. Anyone who cares about the US and most of the world, really, should speak up.

Shameless.

Breitbart's front page has an entire section devoted to "Hollywood Rape Culture"
...but not 1 article on today's news about Bill O'Reilly.

Breitbart hasn't written a word about Bill O'Reilly since Sept -- when he was on their radio show.
...yet, WALL TO WALL WEINSTEIN COVERAGE

Caroline O. @RVAwonk
BTW, if you wanna see this, I archived it (archive.is/WyEBt ). Don't give Breitbart the undeserved traffic.

WTF? Someone went to the trouble of creating a fake "screenshot of a Facebook post", purporting to show Sgt Johnson's widow criticizing Senator Wilson?

(But was too incompetent to get it quite right.)

Nasty.

PerkingFaintly · 22/10/2017 20:40

Sorry, should have said Congresswoman Wilson.

OuaisMaisBon · 22/10/2017 20:40

Do you think that screenshot of a FB post might count as "fake news" perhaps? Nah, because the right is mighty and right and can do no wrong.

AcrossthePond55 · 22/10/2017 21:28

Did anyone see Scrotus' video from the Hurricane Benefit? I couldn't watch the whole thing (as usual) but you could tell that it really burnt his cookies having to say anything 'nice' about Obama (and probably GW Bush after his recent comments). He stared to the left of the camera and obviously read the teleprompter in the same voice a 5 year old uses when they're being forced to apologize for something. You know, that 'forced' voice that says "I'm doing this under duress".

What a fuck head. Oh, and to add to our growing collection of acronyms; "TOTUS" (Traitor of the United States).

cozietoesie · 22/10/2017 21:49

I haven’t seen it, I fear. I imagine he was worried that he might actually be asked to pony up some more personal dollars, though.

lionheart · 22/10/2017 21:59

Totus is good. Grin

Meanwhile cunning McConnell:

McConnell says he's awaiting Trump guidance on health care

"A proposal by two senators - Republican Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Democrat Patty Murray of Washington - would extend for two years federal insurance payments that Trump has blocked, in an effort to stabilize insurance markets."

"I will be happy to bring a bill to the floor if I know President Trump would sign it," the Republican said. He added of Trump: "I think he hasn't made a final decision.""

I suspect that you’re mean to McConnell at your peril.

Freedom of speech at its best...

Cub Scout kicked out of group after grilling Colorado Republican on guns

"Lori Mayfield said a local scout leader told her after the 9 October event that the topic of gun control was inappropriate because of its political nature and that her son’s questions were disrespectful. The Boys Scouts have refused to comment on the reason the boy was asked to leave but have said he will remain in the Scouts after finding a new group."

I almost posted earlier that anyone coming out of a coma would ask to go back too.

I suppose the Taliban are worse by comparison. At least for now.
