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

[TheClaws]

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. if only we could learn well from the past.

Oh no cozie! nothing to do with being old already

We must have hope and as you say roll on Nov.8th or whenever it is.

Would we have migrated to gransnet? Hopefully arabella Kushner won’t be ruling over us (though I have nothing against her)

The defamation suit against Bill O'Reilly just expanded -- two more women are now suiing him and Fox, alleging defamation. Murdoch is also named in the suit after his statements last week about harmless "flirting”

A Beast piece.

WH signals abandonment of Ocare repeal

His speaking so dismissively about it broke the confidentiality agreement, which allows them now to speak about it

BREAKING: US Government publishes debut Global Magnitsky list. A veritable rogues gallery from all over the world. A good day for justice and for Sergei Magnitsky’s legacy www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/OFAC-Enforcement/Pages/20171221.aspx#.WjvSeRrsOV4.twitter

Ooh, ooh! And we can have Scrotus appear at the drawing a la Apprentice to say "You're NOT hired!" to the loser!

He'd LOVE that (but only if it's televised). It'd draw the hyugest ratings ever! Like the biglyest viewing audience! Bigger than Obama's!!!

That last is the one that seems to count.

Having taken a good long break, I'm back and horrified.

Nikki Haley just threatened the nations of the world on behalf of Trump to try and strong arm them not to condemn our Israel embassy move to Jerusalem: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/dec/20/donald-trump-threat-cut-aid-un-jerusalem-vote …

Her face looks a little haggard and desperate, don't you think?

NIce to see you back ginger!

The Massive Tax Cuts, which the Fake News Media is desperate to write badly about so as to please their Democrat bosses, will soon be kicking in and will speak for themselves. Companies are already making big payments to workers. Dems want to raise taxes, hate these big Cuts!

Sooooooo, you're saying companies already have ample cash on hand to award bonuses even before your "tax cut" takes effect?

Psst... that kinda proves they didn't need a tax cut.

I wonder if she realizes that we will be doing our 2017 taxes in April of 2018...hence under the previous system not the @GOP scam system

that Tillerson is being so explicit about it

Thanks. Yeah, I've been following on Twitter, but shocked at how quickly it's spiralling.

Can't believe Haley's speech. She sounded like a mafia boss.

She was effectively talking like a lobbyist. We give money you do what we tell you. Refuse to do it and all this help to poor people that we generously provide will disappear.

And we'll remember today and next time you need military help or aid you can swivel.

I'm barely paraphrasing.
Shocking.

Trump "will be taught a lesson" for UN threats over Jerusalem showdown, Turkey's president says bit.ly/2zbFqCl

Oh yes Yamayo you are so right. She was sounding like a mafia boss. I was shocked at her tweet, her tone, everything.

And then she had 45 fully endorsing what she said, the fat buffoon.

I was a lobbyist, I never talked like that! #notalllobbyists #makelobbyingrespectableagain

I was somewhat alarmed to read the reports on the national security docs that apparently widened the scope for using nuclear weapons.... scary stuff. Ack.

As if he didn't OK it on the phone beforehand!

Not that he was paying attention to petitions that met the threshold anyway, but another sign of crumbling norms and silencing dissent. wapo.st/2BAmpfK?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.4a922ee0c550 …

"All of the petitions, including one that called on President Trump to release his tax returns — the most popular, with more than a million signatures — disappeared from Petitions.WhiteHouse.Gov

Sorry Spud I'm sure you were a fantastic lobbyist...
I was thinking more in the line of the NRA.

Chinese ambassador just coolly announced he supported Palestine. The Don is not going to be happy.

Interesting.

What was the UN vote?
