Apparently this has already happened, back in July 2017. Shock

But the orange one try again...

Actual Nazi Arthur Jones was former head of American Nazi Party. He is a white supremacist and unrepentant Holocaust denier. Jones will be @GOP nominee for Congress in IL-3. Republicans will vote for him.

That is appalling, Ginger. No low is too low.

A period of national belt-tightening will actually play pretty well post Wave. (I'm being serious, not joking.)

.@TGowdySC: “So you need an investigation into Russia. You need an investigation into the Trump Tower and the Cambridge Analytica email, separate and apart from the dossier. So those are not connected issues to me.”

Priebus clearly wants to give the impression that he’s denying NYT story about Trump and McGahn clashing over firing Mueller, but you could steer an aircraft carrier through the gaps here

Despite trying not to do so, Priebus corroborated the story about Trump firing Mueller because he confirmed Trump raised bogus “conflicts” that Mueller supposedly had, which was the cover story Trump came up with to fire Mueller.

Pretty shocking. Former Trump chief of staff Reince Priebus tells NBC he “never heard of Majinsky Act” as he goes all in on ‘adoption’ narrative on the Veselnitskaya/Trump Jr meeting. Go to minute 5:23 in video

Trump tells Americans to stand for the anthem on Super Bowl Sunday. What will he do if they don’t?

lionheart That Donald Jr. “sweet revenge” - he really isn’t that bright, is he? That’s almost akin to throwing your father under the bus.

Israeli investigative reporter Ronen Bergman says the Israeli intel Trump revealed to Russia’s Foreign Minister last year goes far beyond reports at the time, is of “the most secretive nature” and “could jeopardize modus operandi of Israeli intelligence.”

Natsku was on her way to hospital at 23.36 .
Let's all send good vibes her way.

Ah. The baby is coming? Smile

Looks like it.

Natsku · 05/02/2018 00:16

Baby is indeed on the way! Hopefully I won't be sent home because contractions aren't properly regular yet but it's a long drive and my waters broke so I don't want to risk having a roadside baby.
