Preet bharara would join that list for me bad. On top of being principled, intelligent etc, he’s also actually really quite funny!

OK, Rachel Maddow is now needed to balance out Preet. (This might have to be my specialist ‘Persisting’ dinner party, as there are still thinkers, artists, writers and actorly beefcake guests I’d invite.)

Haha yes, it would be a specifically themed dinner! And absolutely to maddow, she could whisper a little précis of what everyone was saying if it all went over my head

I'd get Kamala in there too.

Ooh yes, good shout!

New thought on Trump’s timing for announcing his support for Moore - shortly after news that remains of Sgt LaDavid Johnson were found in Niger. Which we stopped taking about

A Navy plane with 11 service members crashed into the Sea of Japan this morning and this is the official statement from the president.

It wasn’t the White House, it wasn’t the State Department, it wasn’t father LaVar’s so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence - IT WAS ME. Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair. Just think..

I thought - for just a second - that that was a parody tweet. But No. He actually said that!

Then he tweeted this..

...LaVar, you could have spent the next 5 to 10 years during Thanksgiving with your son in China, but no NBA contract to support you. But remember LaVar, shoplifting is NOT a little thing. It’s a really big deal, especially in China. Ungrateful fool!

What a fool he is!

OMG! Those tweets. Are we witnessing a nervous breakdown in progress? Definitely sounds like he’s in meltdown.

A Newsweek piece.

Impeachment?

Try 2.

Should Trump Be impeached

Even by Trump standards, today’s tweets are outrageous. SO PRESIDENTIAL

There is really something wrong with this fellow, isn't there? Aside from the fact that he is such a despicable human being.

does the president know people can see his twitter

From across the divide.

He’s quite unbelievable.

cripes. NYP is normally pretty pro Trump isn’t it?

Oh holy hell! That tweet sounds like a petulant child!!! Oh...wait.....it IS a petulant child.

I'm so grateful to know that there are so many MNers from around the world on this thread who know 'NAAALT'* and who remind others of that fact. Otherwise I'd be in total despair at thinking how despised we must be due to this idiot's antics.

*Not All Americans Are Like That

I'm enjoying the Comey tweets too, subtle but somehow still obvious.

I'm not so keen on Preet Bharara as he was the one after all that kick started the extradition thing for my brother but of course that was his job so I can't really hold that against him too much!

Post is very Trump, or anti-anyone who resists him.

I think we are going to need a new thread.

As a journalist, this is borderline offensive.
8:06AM: White House makes pool reporter issue a correction to say "The president will NOT have a low-key day and has a full schedule of meetings and phone calls."
9::26AM: The president goes golfing

A close acquaintance of mine advised me that should I be hauled in and asked to undergo a ‘test’ which required me (among other things) to say something about the UK political system, I’d be .........stuffed. Upon my pointing out that I still knew who the current British PM was, he asked me ‘How sure are you on that?’ And further volunteered that he didn’t think an analysis - however exquisite - of the Alabama election would quite cut it.

So - thank you, Pain.

We know Across honest we do!

When I saw that tweet I honestly thought I was reading a parody account on twitter and had to double check twice becaue I thought he really can't be tweeting like this, this is getting ridiculous! He's such a buffoon he really is, but I want it to get worse so he does that nice big hole for himself (but leave off insulting NK as that affects the world)
