Titled with Across in mind Wink

May all the Oaf's problems be big ones, and the events of this week at least be the beginning of the beginning of the end.

mini looking at FLOTUS in that outfit and in clips with Trump in the WH, it is sooo obvious she has had a boob job. She's grown enormously! (that was obviously the 3 weeks when she was out of action with her kidneys!)

'for me and for my family' - and some say he is not transparentHmm (And that blatant talk of violent insurrection both fearmongering and inciting. Dangerous talk.)
"The level of hatred, the level of anger is unbelievable," he said. "Part of it is because of some of the things I've done for you and for me and for my family, but I've done them….

'Trump told Christian leaders he got rid of a law. He didn't.
According to recorded excerpts of private remarks, he said evangelicals were "one election away from losing everything." '

' .... he warned "You're one election away from losing everything that you've got," and said their opponents were "violent people" who would overturn these gains "violently."

Trump addressed the law and the upcoming midterms in private remarks Monday during a dinner with evangelical supporters at the White House after the press left.

At stake in the November midterms, Trump told the audience, are all the gains he has made for conservative Christians.

"The level of hatred, the level of anger is unbelievable," he said. "Part of it is because of some of the things I've done for you and for me and for my family, but I've done them….This November 6th election is very much a referendum on not only me, it's a referendum on your religion, it's a referendum on free speech and the First Amendment."

If the GOP loses, he said, "they will overturn everything that we've done and they'll do it quickly and violently, and violently. There's violence. When you look at Antifa and you look at some of these groups — these are violent people."

McConnell says he’s negotiating with Schumer on a package of judges they can agree to fast-track to a vote.

McConnell isn’t endorsing the Schumer-Flake plan to rename the Russell building after John McCain, and prefers to leave it to the “gang.”
“The way we have approached this kind of thing in the past has been on a thoroughly bipartisan basis.”

And here it is: Senate just cut a deal to fast-track votes starting at 3:45p today on 11 nominations—including SEVEN Trump nominees to be district court judges.

Big victory for Trump and McConnell, who are already confirming federal judges at an extraordinary pace and are poised to get seven more done today.

This is Andrew Card, Chief of Staff, Bush43. Unbelievable anyone still speaks like this of the Oaf (my italics):
@SecretaryCard
: I credit a lot of people on the WH staff who I think told the Pres that he probably was making a decision that wasn't as noble as it should be, and thankfully he recognized that and did come around.
#AMR
: I do want Trump to be the Pres of all of us. I'm hoping that he's continuing to climb that learning curve of being Pres. And I suspect he learned a valuable lesson.
#AMR
: He's got to recognize, he's the President of all the people and all of the people look to him to lead us, especially during times of strain and trouble and mourning.

washingtonpress.com/2018/08/28/a-new-report-just-revealed-bizarre-and-rude-topic-trump-brought-up-with-japanese-pm/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

'A new report from The Washington Post has emerged that shows just how ludicrous the dual Trump claims actually are. During a phone call in June with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe in which the two heads of state discussed trade and North Korea, Trump strangely brought up the World War II attacks on Pearl Harbor.

“I remember Pearl Harbor,” the President of the United States said, even though he had not yet been born when the infamous surprise attack was carried out. He was born over four years later.

It also bears mentioning that the current Japanese government is not the same as the Empire of Japan which attacked the American naval base in Hawaii on December 7th, 1941. Trump’s comments make absolutely no sense in terms of contemporary geopolitics and underscore just how little he actually understands the world he has been tasked with running.'

'When Trump and his Republican allies like Rep. Devin Nunes pushed to expose the identity of an FBI informant involved in the Russia investigation earlier this year, officials from the intelligence community warned that their actions could have grave consequences, both for the informant’s security as well as for intelligence collection more broadly.

Those consequences are already being realized, as CIA sources in Russia have reportedly gone quiet ahead of the 2018 midterms, leaving U.S. intelligence agencies in the dark about the Kremlin’s plans to interfere in the elections and potentially other sectors of American society.'

Trump owns a hotel across the street from the FBI HQ. He has a financial stake in plans to redevelop or relocate.

He cared enough to meet with the GSA about it, and to prevent them from disclosing what he said to them.

Puerto Rico death toll now stands at almost 3,000. But they’re not “real” Americans so I’m sure Trump couldn’t care less.

Sorry, but what utter bollocks. Except in a funny way, it is actually true, but in a different way from the one Trump intends, if you see what I mean?

it's a referendum on your religion

Not "on our religion", note...

Donald Trump isn't representative of Christianity.

If any of his listeners feel he or his behaviour represents their religion, then they have a much bigger problem than who's president.

"This sudden and unexpected decision by the Trump Administration raises serious questions about what or who could have motivated such a decision,” said House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.). “Why the Trump Administration would so suddenly forgo years of study that led to careful recommendations — not to mention the millions of dollars spent in the effort to move the Bureau’s headquarters — is beyond astounding, and quite frankly, extremely alarming,” he said in a statement. He called for Congress to reject the plan.

TRUMP: "I think Google is taking advantage of a lot of people. I think that is a very serious thing. It's a very serious charge. ... Look at what's going on with Twitter, if you look at what's going on with Facebook, they better be careful because you can't do that to people."

More Trump in Oval on Google: "We have literally 1,000s and 1,000s of complaints coming in and you just can't do that. Google and Twitter and Facebook are treading on very, very troubled territory. And they have to be careful. It is not fair to large portions of the population."

Trump’s comments follow a report on Fox Business on Monday evening that said 96% of Google News results for "Trump" came from the "national left-wing media." The segment cited the conservative PJ Media site.

'But McCain's decision to ask Obama and Bush to eulogize him is part of a carefully choreographed and, yes, even strategic message for America and the world in the wake of his death. It's also perhaps, one last opportunity for McCain to try and tamp down a fervor that first awoke in the Republican Party during his 2008 race and has swelled ever since.
Steve Duprey, a longtime friend of McCain's and a senior adviser in his 2008 campaign, said the senator respected Obama, even if the two were never particularly close and wounds from their race were raw for years.
"I think it is John McCain imparting a lesson in civility by asking the two men who defeated him to speak, as an example to America that differences in political views and contests shouldn't be so important that we lose our common bonds and the civility that is, or used to be, a hallmark of American democracy," Duprey said.'

His comments on violence from the Left if they win the Midterms are disgusting. He keeps referencing “antifa” and I’m sorry but whilst I do not condone violence on any side, “anti-facist” should be EVERYONES default position! Because let’s face it, if you are not anti-facist, you are pro-nazi.
