Not 'The Onion'. No words.

'US teacher 'who fed sick puppy to snapping turtle' charged'

'A counter "We Support Crosland" petition urging people "to show our support for the man that taught us science in a new way and truly loves his job" so far has attracted more than 3,700 signatures, many from colleagues, ex-students and members of the local community.
Some of his supporters say the puppy was dying and it was the right thing to do'

From that article..

"Sachs, a renowned Columbia University professor who heads its Center for Sustainable Development and serves as a senior adviser at the United Nations, said no one expressed “a single word of respect for Trump” during his recent trip to Europe. Their question was: “How did America fall so far so fast?” Sachs wrote."

If puppy was humanely euthanised, then I don't care what ate its body.
I wonder if that story will make mainstream MN pages -- probably!

lionheart · 03/06/2018 15:40

I'm guessing this should read 'former FBI agent.'

Puppy was still alive, lljkk.

lljkk · 03/06/2018 16:06

have you a definitive link on the puppy status when fed to turtle? I've read unclear dead-alive status before feeding, but I can't get to Idaho newspapers (GDPR block).

Cult 45 - Justifying the lies:

'The study concluded that Trump supporters were more enthusiastic in their support of him as a candidate to the extent that they justified Trump’s lie as a form of "symbolic protest." The more they viewed him as an act of protest, the more they believed him to be authentic.

“The key to our theory is that when a candidate asserts an obvious untruth as part of a general attack of establishment norms, his anti-establishment listeners will pick up on his underlying message that the establishment is illegitimate and therefore will have an ‘authentic’ appeal despite the falsehoods,” Ezra Zuckerman Sivan, professor and deputy dean at MIT Sloan, said in a statement.'

And, on this:

'.... as a senior adviser at the United Nations, said no one expressed “a single word of respect for Trump” during his recent trip to Europe.'

This disdain felt for T. abroad - don't his cult relish just relish it, or would do so if they knew of it? The more embattled he is, the greater the level of abhorrence and contempt those outside the cult demonstrate, just hardens their view of their rightness. If some 'libtard' is horrified, some 'foreign globalist' repulsed, that is as badge of honour they wear proudly.

What 'distinct spiritual gifts' do these 'Christians' of Liberty Uni. believe T. has got, ffs? Or do we just lack the insight to see them?

' “Jay Sekulow was uninformed” about who wrote Trump Tower stmt, Giuliani tells @MeetThePress.

Uninformed here is code for misinformed. As in, Trump told Sekulow he had no part in it. Good reminder that Trump doesn’t just lie to the public, he also lies to his lawyers.'

How is this surprising? T. never takes responsibility for anything other than that which shines light on his glory; it is not in his psyche. There is a long line of buses waiting, and a long line of stooges for him throw under them.

'As Trump complains that no one warned him re Manafort, he leaves room for broad shift of responsibility - not just to federal investigators, but to the two people who recommended Manafort, Roger Stone and Tom Barrack.'

Thanks, lion, it's not going on my reading list, Grin, but I remember seeing Brody interviewed about the book on 'Morning Joe'.

Take your pick for a quickish rundown on this 'spiritual journey':

Joe and The Simper:

Christian Broadcast Network:
'CBN News Chief Political Correspondent David Brody and co-author Scott Lamb reconstruct a picture of Trump's spiritual journey from childhood to the present.
Relying on extensive interviews with the president himself and those closest to him, the authors reveal a side never before fully explored.'

I've just been to A&E with a broken hand. I had to fess up to also hitting my head and the young medic became most exercised - wanted to know what year I thought it was. I felt that that was not the right time to say that it felt like 2050. (He might have wanted to know who the U.K. cabinet were. I wasn't sure whether a breakdown of the senior House GOP members would cut it. Grin)

cozie, If you're on painkillers it'll have to be just a virtual bunch of flowers, instead of the virtual gin or wine, sadly. (My emojis are not working). Hope you are not suffering too much.
