Some garbage from today’s rally (and this is a quote from Breitbart, so perhaps they are starting to take him with a bit a salt - and that’s YUGE):

‘Trump now talking about legendary Nebraska coach Tom Osborne. He says for years all he knew how to do was “win, win, win.” “No talk, all action,” Trump says of Osborne after saying he doesn’t know him.”“

This is but one of the insults strewed about the auditorium.

Sorry, TheClaws, what am I missing, why is that insulting?

'Zero cable news networks are carrying the Trump rally live. Even Tucker Carlson told Fox News viewers that they'd break in only if there was news. CSPAN has turned away too — it's showing the Utah Senate debate.'

'Before Khashoggi’s disappearance, U.S. intelligence intercepted communications of Saudi officials discussing a plan to capture him, according to a person familiar with the information. The Saudis wanted to lure Khashoggi back to Saudi Arabia and lay hands on him there, this person said. It was not clear whether the Saudis intended to arrest and interrogate Khashoggi or to kill him, or if the United States warned Khashoggi that he was a target, this person said.'

Sorry for being a bit behind here but the pic in the Independant article of Trump and Nikki, he patting the back of her hand....he wouldn’t do that with a mail ambassador. So patronising. Yuk

It's OK Trumpy - just try and colour between the lines.

REPORTER: Have you read the alarming UN report about imminent, drastic climate change?

TRUMP: "It was given to me, & I want to look at who drew it. You know, which group drew it, because I can give you reports that are fabulous & reports that aren't so good." #DrewIt

That is a strong piece from Britt. What I find puzzling about him, and those high profile Repugly defectors, is now long it took them to leave. They stomached quite a feast of toxic courses before the repast became just too unpalatable.

ohmymimi · 10/10/2018 08:33

Yes, Mini, quite a 'there, there, little woman' gesture. But Haley (46, about to send her eldest to college, holder of a top line post) did refer to herself as 'a lucky girl', so she probably did not find it that demeaning.

Roussette · 10/10/2018 08:39

Nikki Haley has always made me enraged, delivering her message in that deadpan annoying way. God help us if Ivanka gets the job. She has tweeted she's not, but I don't believe anything that comes out of the mouth of anyone connected to Trump

Totally agree mimi on Britt ... who could he have stomached it so long I do not know.

ShinyElena · 10/10/2018 09:22

Minimammoth Trump praised Haley for "bringing glamour" into her job. Any self-respecting woman would have punched the grinning idiot.

lionheart · 10/10/2018 09:24

She's up to something, with or without Trump.

Lweji · 10/10/2018 09:27

I'm rooting for Ivanka.

lionheart · 10/10/2018 09:31

Jared is a 'genius' and master statesman, of course.

Lweji · 10/10/2018 09:35

I hope he makes Ivanka UN Ambassador.
Melania State Secretary.
Kanye West Education.
His NY mob friends in Tresury
Eric Chief of Staff
Barron Press Secretary.

See how far he can push GOP and his base.

At which point will GOP think Pence is a better bet, or can't they impeach one without the other?

Lweji · 10/10/2018 09:36

Jared might not be available by then. Wink
