Manafort Destiny? Trump continued

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

Yet more proof (if proof were needed!) that Fox News are just a propaganda conduit for all things Trump.

News pulls pro-impeachment ad, citing negative viewer reaction

That’s a lot! I’ll have to re-read it on Tuesday, I think.

Thanks, lion. Smile

Within mere hours of a tweet endorsing Ed Gillespie (the last of many others), Gillespie loses the Virginia election and Trump punches him in the gut.

Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!

The man who wrote the anti-trans bathroom bill just lost the election to a trans woman. Let that sink in.

Democrat Chris Hurst, a former TV news anchor whose girlfriend was murdered on live TV in 2015, won his race for Virginia's House of Delegates on a platform to reduce gun violence.

[and to make it even more satisfying, his opponent was “A-rated” by the NRA]

Pain I believe so. Check out this cracker of a long-winded tweet. It doesn’t even make sense. Who is ‘they’? How can ‘they’ spend hundreds of billions of dollars ‘to’ something? In any case, why would you tell everyone this? And - what is ‘peace through strength’?

The U.S., under my administration, is completely rebuilding its military, and they're spending hundreds of billions of dollars to the newest and finest military equipment anywhere in the world, being built right now. I want peace through strength!

The North Korean regime has pursued its nuclear & ballistic missile programs in defiance of every assurance, agreement, & commmitment it has made to the U.S. and its allies. It's broken all of those commitments...

Never mind the unintended irony in the first tweet about NK, after he’s just boasted about boosting the US military so it can protect itself...

Alwaysinmyheart · 08/11/2017 06:22

Wow Smile

Voters today chose
-2 new Democratic governors
-2 black lieutenant governors
-2 transgender officials
-A Black Lives Matter lawyer as DA in Philly
-A Sikh mayor in Hoboken
-A socialist in Virginia
-To oust GOP mayor in Atlantic City
-And to expand Medicaid in Maine

If this was a referendum on Trump, he lost. Bigly!

Gosh Always a kick in the teeth for Trump, Bigly excellent news! And guess what... Fox News is not even reporting it. They're banging on about Hillary. I do sit here and muse about what Fox will be saying when Trump is ousted. Egg meet face Grin

So, Democrats have risen from the ashes, exactly one year after Trump and his Russian entourage infiltrated the White House...

...While Republicans are dropping like flies. Be sure to send thoughts and prayers their way.
