The above is a quote from The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, said by Lord Elrond. At this stage, with POTUS practically pissing off every ally the US has while cosying up with several dictators, it seems quite apt.

I apologise for being whimsical. Covering up terror.

Does anyone have a link to video of the press conference? DH said Putin contradicted everything Trump said.

Gumpendorf · 16/07/2018 22:00

@emptywheel
Somewhere at the RNC they're all rushing to give statements on Trump's humiliation in Helsinki so they don't have to give statements on the NRA being an intelligence recruiting vehicle for Russia.

Gumpendorf · 16/07/2018 22:01

lljkk. Here you go. It's Fox but looks as if it's the full presser.

PerkingFaintly · 16/07/2018 22:04

Goodness, bit of whimsy needed at the moment, Minimammoth. I can't get your link to work, so now I really want to know what the whimsy was! Grin

MissMarplesKnitting · 16/07/2018 22:07

According to the number of likes on this tweet, more than quarter of a million people would rather not be Melania.

45 didn't know that Finland is not in NATO.

And still, there is no outcry from the GOP itself, nor the GOP Senators and Congresspersons (with the exception of, I think, 3 or 4?). Nor will there be. They're too busy trying to get their agenda made into law and finish getting their pockets lined with special interest money before the shit really hits the fan.

To them, Scrotus is the biggliest 'Look a (stinky, rotten) fish!!!' and they're going to use it as long as it's possible.

I just don't know what it will take. The man is the Anti-Christ.

Haven't been able to find anything online @ cnn, msnbc, etc to confirm. I hope it's true.
