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.

Don't go to the website of the same name. Grin

It's by a buddy of 45's, Claws.

Quantumblue · 26/03/2018 05:12

And it will be "Melania is a saint and she forgives this man for his human weaknesses".

If she plays along.

cozietoesie · 26/03/2018 05:14

So essentially, what Across and Claws are getting at is that 45's base should be 'abandoned'?

TheClaws · 26/03/2018 06:17

I never would have guessed, cozie Grin

By ‘abandoned’, do you mean we should just give up on them? Leave them to it? I’ve written about my brother here before who is an alt-right winger and not hesitant to let everyone know it. In the beginning I did debate with him, but I don’t now. I just don’t get into it as I know he won’t change. It’s something in him.

Do you think Melania's not going back to Washington with #45 last night might signify where she may stand on Stormy Daniels? Or pure coincidence? I reckon he's paid her megabucks to keep her mouth shut.

lionheart · 26/03/2018 08:00

If she wants out, now would be a good time to go.

cozietoesie · 26/03/2018 08:19

I reckon it's coincidence, I'm afraid.

I though Melania was just staying in Florida with Barron as it is his spring school holiday? I don't think there is any more to it than that.

I receive the impression that that paper neither likes nor respects 45. Wink

They're probably good friends, Pain. After all, Jefferson Beauregard looks to be slightly taller - which he probably enjoys. Smile

Oh, dear, shows how much notice I take, Pain Grin blueskyinmarch - yes, I'm sure you're quite right. An old bag can dream, though..
I have urgent but deadly dull admin to do (Queen of procrastination here) and it is actually more appealing than reading about the latest Trump and Co horrors!

Simply being anti-NRA is not a solution. March FOR something, not just against everything.

The nation once gathered to listen to FDR's fireside chats, or to watch events like the moon landing. Tonight it gathers to hear a porn actress recall her alleged tryst with the future President, and the payment his lawyer made to keep her quiet. Making America Great Again.

That is excellent, Pain Grin

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top fundraiser for President Donald Trump received millions of dollars from a political adviser to the United Arab Emirates last April, just weeks before he began handing out a series of large political donations to U.S. lawmakers considering legislation targeting Qatar, the UAE’s chief rival in the Persian Gulf, an Associated Press investigation has found.

I hope the Qatar business brings down the lot of them. The Kushners certainly seem to be heavily implicated in it.

It probably shouldn't be surprising given who is currently president and it's probably a qualification for this administration rather than a deterrent but I find it incredible that Eliot Broidy was convicted of fraud (he stole $1.5 million!) and then went on to be a vice chairman of a joint fundraising committee between the Donald Trump campaign and the RNC. Mind-boggling.
