It's not a word I knew. It's good though. Grin

There are only some 400 humpbacks left alive ??

lionheart · 17/03/2018 23:26

I think that's a regional figure.

We have lots of humpback whales that go up and down the coastline near us; we even have an identified female albino that visits every year. They go up the coast to warmer waters to calve then bring the babies back down. It’s wonderful to see Smile

They are extraordinary.

Even Trump’s star power, which drew crowds in rural Pennsylvania, didn’t rouse his die-hard supporters across the country, as the Alabama Senate race or the Georgia special election did. “I don’t think this is really resonating that much in Trumpworld,” said Kurt Schlichter, a frequent Fox News guest and Townhall columnist. When I texted Mike Cernovich, conspiracy theorist and king of the MAGA faction of the Internet, to get his thoughts before the election, he was initially confused: “I don’t even know who is running or that there was a race!”

You love memos, don’t y’all? It’d be great to see Grin

Hey there, #MAGA guys.

Maybe you guys can help.

With news breaking that McCabe handed his Trump-Russia memos over to Mueller, I think I’m supposed to yell:

“RELEASE THE MEMOS!”

Did I do that right?

Is this the right hashtag?

#ReleaseTheMemos

TheClaws · 18/03/2018 00:24

This is a concern, and an escalation - Trump hasn’t mentioned (as far as I’m aware) the Mueller investigation by name in a tweet directly before. He has now. Everything in the tweet is an untruth.

The Mueller probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion and there was no crime. It was based on fraudulent activities and a Fake Dossier paid for by Crooked Hillary and the DNC, and improperly used in FISA COURT for surveillance of my campaign. WITCH HUNT!

cozietoesie · 18/03/2018 00:37

I'm increasingly concerned that 45 has no means - easy means - of retreat.

cozietoesie · 18/03/2018 00:59

I'm not sure that he has an internal mechanism for..........humility?

lionheart · 18/03/2018 00:59

AF1 and a trip to Madagascar might be best for all of us.

cozietoesie · 18/03/2018 01:04

Lordy. What did poor Madagascar do??

This is officially the first time Trump has tweeted Mueller's name.

TheClaws · 18/03/2018 01:17

cozie as for no real means of retreat - some of the extreme far-right are calling for martial law. (Some of the some stupid ones, I might add).

cozietoesie · 18/03/2018 01:21

I suppose I have to weigh in the fact that I'm in credit. (I didn't expect to make it past July. Smile)

Natsku · 18/03/2018 06:16

I suspect it's going to get really dark before he's ousted. My prediction? He's gonna launch at NK.

That's what I'm thinking too, though I'm also hoping saner minds will prevent him from doing that.

Sitting here, reading the tweets posted on this thread outloud to baby to keep him entertained - never too early for an education in politics!

cozietoesie · 18/03/2018 06:21

I agree. It's always there. (Although it will likely wait until they run into location trouble in April.)

cozietoesie · 18/03/2018 06:22

How is Mini Natsku doing? Smile

Trump’s recent behavior displays a reckless disregard for even his own self-preservation.

Quantumblue · 18/03/2018 06:24

Go baby Natsku.

cozietoesie · 18/03/2018 06:45

I'm just thinking - although that may be the whisky - that Jefferson Beauregard May be playing a cleverer game than he's been given credit for. After all, he's not a political tyro. Smile
