'A Liar should have a good Memory,' Trump thread cont.

[lionheart]

Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

Old thread here:

On the liberty task force that Sessions announced (who incidentally I cannot watch as he is as nauseating as Trump), this tweet...

Today the US Government announced the creation of a ‘religious liberty task force.’

The prophecy is complete:
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”

Oops I found you. Thanks for the new thread lion

Just seen this and thought it was worth sharing with this thread.

Two lovely cartoons.

'The answer turns out to be amusing: The word “meddling” in this context entered the American lexicon because of a rare partnership between an unlikely duo: Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul—a man Putin now famously wants to interrogate. And it was popularized shortly thereafter in the wake of an interview by Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager—an interview in which, oddly enough, the word was never spoken.'

Actual ad for the GOP frontrunner for FLGOV. This goes beyond doubling down on Trump. Need a whole new set of words to describe this strategy. (link: youtube.com/watch?v=2BYgM7…

This was what I was talking about yesterday. The economy imho is really the only thing holding Trump up. If the economy goes south, the floor will open up. (link: www.cnn.com/2018/07/31/politics/trump-economy/index.html) cnn.com/2018/07/31/pol…

Manafort’s $15,000 ostrich jacket probably looked like A. But I’m going to imagine B anyway.

Also a CNN piece, mimi.

Sorry. That should have been:

The economy

I seem to have acquired a 'National Enquirer' from somewhere - at least it's appeared in the papers for the cat's tray. (All contributors are denying knowledge.)

Dumb is as dumb does.

Interesting issues re the first witness in the Manafort case. Ted Devine became Bernie Sanders' strategist.

@JenKirkman @TammyinMT406 So Yanukovych flees to Russia in Feb ‘14. Devine is talking to a RU spy in June ‘14 and signs on w bern 5 months later. Not suspicious at all. twitter.com/DrinkOfWater86/status/1023091147340701697/photo/1

This is shameful: Trump retweeted this tweet of Eric Trump encouraging hate and violence against Acosta and journalists in general. This is not the behaviour of a POTUS.
