'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:

Good "review" and easy to follow

THREAD: What can we make of the first day of the Manafort trial?

unreservedly bears no resemblance to lightheartedly, automiscorrect.

Thanks, North, I definitely need easy to follow stuff today

Trump challengers 2020 - I like Biden, but he will be too old. Holder? Definitely not. Bereft of charisma.

The Oaf carelessly offers Cult45 bread and circuses, and easy fodder for the baying crowd. He will end up with blood on his hands.

Trump tends to corrupt, and Trumpism plus mob psychology corrupts absolutely.

Just a sample of the sad scene we faced at the Trump rally in Tampa. I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt. We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy.

I was talking to a friend whos' brother lives in US and she said they are happy with Trump because they now pay less for medical insurance than they did. That there are now more jobs and wages are increasing.

Oops sent to soon.
Not sure if the brother believe in "fake news" they are being fed or we are getting a different picture.

'After being separated for 50 days, Thiago isn't the same boy, according to his mother.

When visitors showed up at their new home, he crouched behind the sofa.

"He's been like that since I got him back," she said. "He doesn't want to talk to anyone." '

'Looking back on history, who was treated worse, Alfonse Capone, legendary mob boss, killer and “Public Enemy Number One,” or Paul Manafort, political operative & Reagan/Dole darling, now serving solitary confinement - although convicted of nothing? Where is the Russian Collusion?'

So that's what they use for a stitch up? Handy

7 tweets this morning, thus far. Someone woke up with something on his mind:

This is a first. Trump directs his attorney general to end the Russia investigation.
@realDonaldTrump
..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!

'Mich. Supreme Court: Redistricting plan goes on Nov. ballot.'

'Lansing — A proposal to create an independent redistricting commission will appear on the November ballot, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled late Tuesday in a closely watched case.

The 4-3 decision is rife with political implications in Michigan, where Republicans have maintained or grown congressional and legislative advantages since last drawing the state's political boundaries in 2011.

Volunteers with the Voters Not Politicians committee gathered nearly 400,000 valid signatures to put the anti-gerrymandering plan before voters. The Board of State Canvassers certified the group’s petitions, but the proposal was challenged as being overly broad.'

It is stunning to me how many ppl in this #TRUMPTAMPA crowd have QAnon signs or t-shirts. That is not a healthy sign for GOP or for America.

The Capone reference is funny and makes me wonder whether someone close to Trump is messing with him (maybe a Pence fan rather than an actual patriot).

Presser just starting. Only the fourth since July 1st. The least number out of any presidency.

'....... the spy game is changing. It’s increasingly taking place in the daylight rather than in the shadows. And, given social media, lax U.S. campaign finance laws and America’s hyperpartisan political climate, Russia doesn’t have to work as hard to recruit American assets anymore. In fact, the political environment the Russians are looking to manipulate is primed to be exploited.'
