This is a quote of Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon has a number of quotes when Read through the lens of Trump are eerily prescient. Napoleon wasn’t of the same political bent as Trump necessarily, and he was certainly more cerebral, but the lust for power is the same.

The various golf 'resorts' are in some financial difficulty if I recall?

I’m loving the Friday night randomness, Lion.

Yes, I believe so (on Trump's Scottish venture) and happy belated birthday to Claws.

I'm sitting at my desk right now basically just bracing for some massive story to break in the next 2-4 hours.

"Yes," DVD contains evidence of Stormy-Trump relationship, says @MichaelAvenatti to @wolfblitzer. "The tweet is a warning shot. People better be honest relating to this relationship, relating to the bullying tactics," referring to Michael Cohen and Trump.

Indeed they are, Quantum. Indeed they are.

The T-rex was a reference to a certain person with allegedly small hands (not that dinosaurs have hands). Wink

George.

When a Russian news agency reached out to George Papadopoulos to request an interview shortly before the 2016 election, the young adviser to then-candidate Donald Trump made sure to seek approval from campaign headquarters.

“You should do it,” deputy communications director Bryan Lanza urged Papadopoulos in a September 2016 email, emphasizing the benefits of a U.S. “partnership with Russia.”

What prevents Bolton from blowing up the world

The thoughtful analysis I'd expect from lawfare. Smile

spacechimp · 23/03/2018 23:26

Delurking in horror at the Bolton appointment. I'm having treatment for anxiety and part of that has had to involve avoiding news and social media because of Trump, particularly re NK which is a huge trigger for me

I am really scared.

Is there any chance Mueller can bring Trump or enough other people down before anything terrible happens?

I probably need to get offline again in order to keep functioning but wish I was strong enough to be a part of this thread

cozietoesie · 23/03/2018 23:30

I'd stay offline if these things are triggering for you.
