Trump thread # 100 “Cannot you see that I, too, have a tall and beautiful person?”

Roman Emperor Nero wrote the above in a manual titled ‘Care of the Hair’. Nero was tyrannical, vain and cruel, and thought little of the lives of others. He also liked to erect buildings and carve his name into them. Smile if only we could learn well from the past.

Fab thread title claws Star

On this Saturday morning (for all gmt based people) let’s take a moment to acknowledge that Roy Moore is still yet to concede Grin

Less hero Moore Nero? DestRoy Moore Trumps? blame the hangover and my addled head

badbadhusky · 16/12/2017 07:22

Ok, shall I get my duplicate new thread nixed?

ButchyRestingFace · 16/12/2017 07:24

Surely thread title should read

Cannot you see that I, too, AM a tall and beautiful person? with luscious locks and colossal hands

??

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 16/12/2017 07:35

I think person might mean “body” in this case (?)

As in, she kept the anti-trump repellent spray hidden about her person at all times.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 16/12/2017 07:37

Ooh two threads! How will I know which one to back if neither of them are explicitly a paedophile?

Roussette · 16/12/2017 07:41

Thanks Claws, double threads for now, no problem!

Donald Trump Jr. likes Mike Cernovich tweet claiming pedophilia isn’t a crime

I know, but I initially read it thinking Trump’s old ball and chain was being referring to, before realising, “naw, can’t be. He hates her!” Grin

I won a green card through the #Diversity lottery & was just called trash by @POTUS. Since then Ive completed a PhD at @Harvard, became a fellow at @BrookingsInst & paid LOTS of taxes. I know many others who contribute a lot to this country. Oh well, perspectives...

Pain interesting 'like' by Don Jr.

He always comes across as a bit thick to me. I would've thought - given the current climate - he would be far far more careful what he 'likes'

badbadhusky · 16/12/2017 07:53

Morning all!

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 16/12/2017 07:53

Sorry butchy (love the name Grin), I was in earnest mode there.

Yes you’d have thought it politically expedient not to associate yourself with any hint of sexual abuse, let alone paedophilia, particularly with #metoo still going strong, but it seems that donny jr is thick as two trumps.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 16/12/2017 07:56

Gah I can’t believe I just typed it isn’t politically advantageous not to condone paedophilia. Sorry, I obviously think it’s utterly repugnant that he thinks such a thing ans am appalled he’d go there. For all the “it was accidental” bullshit we’re about to hear, it most probably was a calculated (as much as djt jr can calculate) move; the question is who are they trying to get onside/afford protection to?

badbadhusky · 16/12/2017 08:04

Maybe the revolting underage rape allegations against POTUS are about to go properly mainstream.

We know what you mean Pain

Amazing how the Trumps all seem to accidentally 'like' something repugnant every now and then.

Interesting that Across said on our old thread, that she gets a feeling something is bubbling up. I know we've said it time and time again, but yes I agree. Maybe it will all kick off when 45 tries to fire Mueller.... add his behaviour with women in the past and perhaps the pot will boil over!

This weekend I’m stocking up on portable phone chargers, warm clothes, & gear needed for when we take the streets. I’m concerned the assault on the rule of law is coming over the holidays when we’re distracted. It‘ll be a defining moment for the Republic.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 16/12/2017 08:41

There’s lots of the fake resistance (mensch’s buddies) urging the opposite

Here's a member of #teampatriot discouraging people from hitting the streets in the event Mueller is fired, and of course gaslighting by saying legitimate protest will help Russia, as if Mueller being fired wouldn't.

Still think they're allies of the left?

He does think he could shoot someone on the street and still walk out on the crowd's arms.

(Replace shoot with rape and the result is the same)

The US system and people need to show this is not true.

Morning stupidity. I meant taken away on the crowd's shoulders.
Arms are for brides and you can't walk out if you're being carried. Grin

This is what sparked it I think:

DOJ fuels doubts about integrity of Mueller probe
While senior Justice Department officials have defended the integrity of the special counsel, the agency has released information that bolsters his opponents.

NEW: DOJ Inspector General says in letter to House Judiciary that “the department did not consult with OIG before sharing the text messages with the press.” Full story TK

Just in from DOJ IG "At no time prior to the release of the text messages did the Department consult with the OIG about providing records to the media."

Susan Hennessey
@Susan_Hennessey
This actually has the makings of a real scandal for DOJ and certainly deserves it's own IG inquiry. Important to know who authorized release to press and the precise rational for why it wasn't a Privacy Act violation.

Norm Eisen
@NormEisen
DOJ backtracking because looks like TRUMP cronies there violated Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a by giving a few favored reporters those 10k text messages. Will result in IG investigation & litigation for sure.
