We rushed out of the last thread without even a pocket handkerchief: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/a3124599-Trump-2018-Resistance-is-Never-Futile

So here's a new one, with its own

I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius.
I have a mighty button and no problems with my penius.
I have no time for television, golf or social media
Since my brain is way way better than the best encyclopedia.

I'm cutting tax, I'll build a wall, I'll take away their medicare
You can trust me 'cos I'm orange and I have the most amazing hair.
So with my total ignorance of matters heterogeneous
I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius!

Compared to other leaders, my behavior's quite unusual
My twisted tweets and pissed-on sheets have managed to amuse you all
I have to drink two-handed 'cause my fingers are the teeniest
I need a sippy-cup with the inscription "Stable Genius."

So Bannon’s lawyer called his other client Don McGahn and McGahn objected? Hmm.

Mr. Bannon not cooperative today. I’m wondering what his motives are? Does he hope to return to DT’s good books and lose the moniker ‘Sloppy Steve’? If there is a grand master plan underneath all this, I’m not seeing it.

Waddles off Humming the tune

Rodong Sinmun (via KCNA) remarks on Trump’s “big red button”.

Reckless Behavior of Trump Denounced: Rodong Sinmun

Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- Recently, Trump who is crazy about the hostile policy toward the DPRK has once again stunned the world by twitting that he has a "big and strong nuclear button." After these reckless remarks were twitted, they have become the target of scoff and criticism from not only world media and experts on the Korean issue, but also high-level officials in the former U.S. administration.

Rodong Sinmun on Tuesday comments that Trump's bluff is regarded by the DPRK as just a spasm of a lunatic frightened by the might of Juche Korea and a bark of a rabid dog.

It goes on:

The spasm of Trump in the new year reflects the desperate mental state of a loser who failed to check the vigorous advance of the army and people of the DPRK all out to carry out the line of simultaneously developing the two fronts.

The Trump clans have quite often claimed that the international community should cooperate in exerting pressure upon the DPRK, asserting that it is "threatening the world peace".

But Trump revealed over twitter who defends peace and who wants a nuclear war.

Experts on the Korean issue said that it is not fitting for the president to put the dangerous and serious issue like a nuclear war on twitter and it is an irresponsible behavior leading the situation to the brink of a war.

Trump earns strong criticism for his tongue-lashing.

He is making bluff only to be diagnosed as a psychopath.

The U.S. shouldn't doubt even a bit the DPRK's nuclear deterrent bolstered to settle the showdown with the U.S. but behave with prudence. -0-

Here is a breakdown of Democrats' over performance tonight in all 4 contested special elections:

SC #HD99: D+13.08%
WI #AD58: D+24.90%
WI #SD10: D+27.52%
IA #HD06: D+20.44%

That is an average Dem over performance tonight of D+21.49%

That's... significant.

I wasn’t paying enough attention to remember the Tony Blair/Wendy deng stuff but it casts it in a slightly different light if any of it was true (and who knows whether it is).

So the results from Trump's Weigh In have been announced. 239 lbs! Well outside of most polling results. We decided to dig deeper. We got our hands on the Scale. Our data findings.

Thread

First of all check out the Scale Manufacturer! Diebold! Coincidence? We think not. Also notice the Memory Card and the Ethernet Cable. Haven't we been here before?

Additionally we found.
No Paper Backup
Only Digital
Connected to the Internet

We also found

120lbs were disenfranchised
80lbs were given Provisional Ballots

This Weigh In was definitely Hacked!!

Pahahah!

This is an unacceptable change in policy: Pentagon Suggests Countering Devastating Cyberattacks With Nuclear Arms via @NYTimes

<a class="break-all" href="https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/us/politics/pentagon-nuclear-review-cyberattack-trump.html?referer=t.co/JupT0r5XQK?amp=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">mobile.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/us/politics/pentagon-nuclear-review-cyberattack-trump.html?referer=t.co/JupT0r5XQK?amp=1

Excerpt

WASHINGTON — A newly drafted United States nuclear strategy that has been sent to President Trump for approval would permit the use of nuclear weapons to respond to a wide range of devastating but non-nuclear attacks on American infrastructure, including what current and former government officials described as the most crippling kind of cyberattacks.

For decades, American presidents have threatened “first use” of nuclear weapons against enemies in only very narrow and limited circumstances, such as in response to the use of biological weapons against the United States. But the new document is the first to expand that to include attempts to destroy wide-reaching infrastructure, like a country’s power grid or communications, that would be most vulnerable to cyberweapons.

The draft document, called the Nuclear Posture Review, was written at the Pentagon and is being reviewed by the White House. Its final release is expected in the coming weeks and represents a new look at the United States’ nuclear strategy. The draft was first published last week by HuffPost.

It called the strategic picture facing the United States quite bleak, citing not only Russian and Chinese nuclear advances but advances made by North Korea and, potentially, Iran.

From Twitter...

So Dr. Ronny Jackson says Trump is 6' 3" & 239lbs

That makes his BMI 29.9

These are the BMI classifications
Normal weight: BMI is 18.5 to 24.9
Overweight: BMI is 25 to 29.9
Obese: BMI is 30 or more

Seems to me like they lied just enough so Trump wouldn't be considered obese.🤔

I've watched Corey Booker's speech more than once, his emotion was raw.

I’ve just watched that speech and it was incredible. Everyone should be made to watch it.

Wow. Wish he was president

Chuck, of the hit show, Chuck and Nancy, dares Trump to show he's not a racist (to back up the claim he's the least racist person ever, which, by the way, implies he is racist, just not so bad as the press says he is).

I just watched Cory Booker's speech. Goodness.

Just catching up on Trump related news. The medical report seems a bit too good...

And I really can't believe he got 30/30 on the cognitive assessment!
