Manafort Destiny? Trump continued

[PerkingFaintly]

Where will the charges against Manafort lead? Whose shredders are overheating today? And most importantly, when will the Tweetstorm-from-the-loo start?

And yes, some probably were bots and so would continue shilling GOP talking points.

"But Hillary! But emails! But Hillary's emails!"

Wait...

Wasn't there an issue with Trump's Administration emails too? No?

OK then

Fake data in what sense? That they've cherry picked reports that coincidentally show 34% or that the figure of 34% reached in each of the headlines is inaccurate?

What is the likelihood that all those different studies gave 34% as a result?
As it looks like the studies exist, it's probably cherry picking as the greatest number they could find.
Odd.

I was backing away from reading about trump anymore, as it is so wearying, and I haven't got the patience to wait years...then all this happens!

To steal a phrase from the Sopranos 'Just as you thought you were out...they pull you back in!'

Not too early for this.

Shame.

Pain - I thought that Farage tweet must be photoshopped, following on from this thread. Then I looked on Twitter. My own pain was alleviated by the majority of replies he got to that particular tweet being somewhat derogatory. If not completely taking the piss, as he well deserves.

*photoshopped as a joke, to be clear

It enrages me that he has his own show on LBC but have just seen that he had bloody Sebastian Gorka on there yesterday!

What the actual fuck

Meanwhile, news emerge that

Collapse at North Korea nuclear test site 'leaves 200 dead'

"As many as 200 North Korean labourers have been killed after a mine shaft being dug at the regime's nuclear test site collapsed, according to Japan's Asahi TV."

lweji not trying to derail but I'm not sure I understand this bit

it's probably cherry picking as the greatest number they could find

Do you mean that the studies themselves tried to have more impact-worthy findings so presented the data in a way that was most dramatic and that it happened to be that in all the studies that figure was 34%?

Sorry, I feel like this is something I should be able to get and owe to my former tutor but I'm just not at the moment!

Also, did you notice that Obama has been called in for jury duty?
Sadly it's in the State of Illinois, so no chance of participating in Manaford's trial, I suppose.
What fun it would be.

Oh I'm still expecting a cameo appearance, *OYBBK, once they've learnt their lines.

Probably of the form, "Here's an old untrue story about Hillary in a left-ish publication, thought you ought to know."

You know: anchor left, pivot right...

Sorry, I meant the people who chose those studies.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, or maybe there is 34% of the population with that set core of beliefs.

Oh I see! I think they were just highlighting a coincidence

You mean the "Clinton: What REALLY happened at Whitewater?" Conspiracy story. Together with body count.

Have already seen it suggested that Fox are preparing a scoop on it. Probably for around when Trump is about to be sunk.

What are the odds on the orange one resigning by end of week?

What are the odds that a zombie gives up on his prey?

Very low odds. Any resignation would be preceded by several weeks 'reflecting' 'receiving advice' and being interviewed at one of his properties, in order to squeeze several more millions out of the American taxpayer. Also some kind of preparation for Trump TV, which was supposed to be the outcome of 2016 in the first place.

I expect a statement saying he'll decide if he resigns in two weeks.

Watch out for any statements saying that he has great confidence in Trump, that he's a good guy. Then you'll know he's out.

That was not a line I should have read with gobful of tea, Lweji.

"Trump acted in the campaign and presidency as a volunteer - he did not receive a salary and any activities he participated in were not associated with Trump".
