All Trump sees is green. All we see is a traitorous orange menace. Who is right? Place bets now!! (Trump continued)

A nod to Banzai there for old timers like me.

Old thread here.

Question is, is it Mueller time yet? Anyone fancy placing a bet on when Trump will exit the POTUS role?

My bet: 20 March 2019.

He had always been like that though. So it’s a generic thing (fathers side of the family I assume). He looked like Enoch Powell (not relevant but just thought I’d add it to the mix).

*So if Trump is mentally sharp

They established he doesn't have overt dementia (at least it didn't manifest itself at the time of the test), they haven't given him an IQ test.

I've dropped at least half an inch because of age dammit. So Trump at 71 will have dropped an inch at least undoubtedly. There's some hilarious pics on Twitter under #GirtherMovement

Has anyone in the Girther movement in Twitterland done the model my diet yet?

Here’s my attempt. 6’3” at 239lbs, and 6’3” at 269lbs. You decide.

The app, unfortunately doesn’t have POTUS features to choose from, otherwise it would be much more realistic.

Thanks for the new thread. There is so much going on in Trumpton that I can barely keep up. Thanks to all who collate information on these threads. It is much appreciate.

Maybe Trump has a special stretching bed.

Or was measured lying down, after being hung upside down for 24 hours?

There is a lot! (I don't read all the articles, particularly the white house circus incompetence type ones but put links up in case they're useful for other people).

The whole Bannon/Lewandowski issues about how they're treated differently and what it might mean is covered comprehensively by Maddow, should anyone be looking for an easy round up:

There was a little bit of speculation that the cognition test would mean that Trump would not then be able to claim impairment as a means of ducking what is surely coming his way, Gum.

Punctuation fun. Read it carefully

'Trump’s sad, pathetic affair with Stormy Daniels will remind you of his sad, pathetic presidency.'

NRA and following the money.

WASHINGTON
'The FBI is investigating whether a top Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin illegally funneled money to the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trump win the presidency, two sources familiar with the matter have told McClatchy.

FBI counterintelligence investigators have focused on the activities of Alexander Torshin, the deputy governor of Russia’s central bank who is known for his close relationships with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and the NRA, the sources said.

It is illegal to use foreign money to influence federal elections.

It’s unclear how long the Torshin inquiry has been ongoing, but the news comes as Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s sweeping investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, including whether the Kremlin colluded with Trump’s campaign, has been heating up.'

"You mean Mike Pence, the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy?” Rippon said. “I’m not buying it.”

As The Colbert said, they found he has a heart (or not, it seems).

WHITE SUPREMACISTS KILLED 18 PEOPLE IN 2017, DOUBLE THE NUMBER FROM 2016, NEW REPORT FINDS

'Over the past 12 months, white supremacists committed the largest number of domestic-extremist-related killings, helping to make 2017 the fifth-deadliest year for extremist violence since 1970, according to a newly released report from the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism.

The center counted a total of 34 people killed by domestic extremists, of which 18 were killed by white supremacists, more than double the number from the previous year. In the past decade, right-wing extremism made up 71 percent of extremist-related murders, compared with 26 percent of murders by Islamic extremists.'

But it's not terror related. So they say...

Trump V. Kelly and an imaginary wall between them.

Well, I did wonder why 45 was so keen on immigrants from Norway.

Maybe he was thinking of a certain white supremacist, misogynist Norwegian mass murderer.
