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

What I'd like to do is to gold plate part of the WH, stick him in there with a crown he can put on when he fancies, cable TV nonstop but only Fox, three buttons he can push to nuke 'em when he's cross, plus a mobile that he has no idea isn't connected to anything so he can tweet to his hearts content. Someone can produce fake newspaper headlines every day dripping with adoration of him. He can look out over a golf course and pop out there to play when he fancies.... then the rest of the Senate and Congress can get on with governing the country. Win win.

Brilliant, Roussette! If only!

PainInTheEerie · 24/10/2017 10:44

Scarily, a lot of that is already true roussette!

Oh Yes, Pain. You keep on going. We need those links, depressing though the contents may sometimes be.

Hehe Grin, as I typed that post I thought to myself he's not far off this (aides babysitting him in Adult Day Care!) and it just needs a bit more and he can become totally irrelevant!

PerkingFaintly · 24/10/2017 11:42

Oh I'd be astonished if the Russians weren't attempting to play all political parties in the US.

It's common for political lobbyists to donate to both big parties in elections, so they have a friend whoever gets in.

In addition, disruption in itself works well for the Russians (and to some extent for the disaster-capitalist billionaires), so no surprise that they're messing with smaller political groups as well.

PainInTheEerie · 24/10/2017 13:01

I’m at Earl’s Court’s and they’ve made an announcement that there’s no service to Richmond/Earl’s court because of a security incident and twitter tells me it’s a suspicious package between Turnham Green and Stanford brook.

Hope it’s norhing

cozietoesie · 24/10/2017 13:04

Hope so. All the best, Pain.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 24/10/2017 13:59

I heard it was a WWII ordnance found near Turnham Green station - scary but hopefully easily dealt with.

Really? Wow, I wonder what state that's in after all those years. I guess the principle of making them safe is the same as modern bombs - but ones dropped on London during ww2 were sneaky buggers (according to my grandad - secondary devices).

This follows some tweets from 45 after Corker was interviewed live on TV (#alertthedaycarestaff is now trending in the US!)

CaveMum · 24/10/2017 15:02

Well this doesn't smell at all fishy:

A major contract to assist in getting the power back on in Puerto Rico has been given to a small company from the hometown of Trump's Interior Secretary Ryan Zincke.

The contract, worth $300 million, was given to Whitefish Energy who, on the day the hurricane struck, on,y had 2 full-time employees. They now have 280 sub-contractors working on the island.

Sen. Corker is the incompetent head of the Foreign Relations Committee, & look how poorly the U.S. has done. He doesn't have a clue as.....
Isn't it sad that lightweight Senator Bob Corker, who couldn't get re-elected in the Great State of Tennessee, will now fight Tax Cuts plus!

Sometimes I stare at his tweets in disbelief. He's like a touchy child

I would love to teach him that silence is a very powerful weapon.

On second thoughts, no I wouldn't . I want him to tweet endlessly then there's enough rope to get rid of him

Roussette · 24/10/2017 16:15

CaveMum that is distinctly fishy, in fact it stinks!

We can’t let POTUS’s complete indifference to truth become ours. Constant barrage may be exhausting, but normalizing it is too dangerous.

I know y'all don't agree with smacking, but his daddy should have taken Scrotus out behind the woodshed a few times when he was growing up! He's nothing but a spoilt little brat who has never heard the word 'no' and whose every BM got him loads of praise. His daddy probably bought his way into anything he wanted and paid his way out of any trouble he got into.

And his 3 eldest are exactly the same! Hopefully Tiffany's and Barron's mothers can help them avoid the same pitfalls.

Reupping this thread since the Trump admin and GOP are now doing everything I predicted

Sarah Kendzior
@sarahkendzior
Replying to @sarahkendzior and @conspirator0
My guess is that, unable to deny Russian interference, Trump admin will attempt to prosecute HRC and others who outed it. Reverse narrative.
Reversed narrative is also tested small-scale on social media, with journos who broke interference story early slandered as foreign traitors
The same parties people with extreme right-wing/white supremacist ties seem to be testing how new propaganda resonates and with whom
If you read Hill story + sequel, narrative structured to provide openings to target Mueller, Comey too. But for now, their focus is on HRC.

There is negligible case. But that didn't stop white supremacists, Trump lackeys, and trolls posing as Kremlin critics from hyping it
