Democrats win the House, and he’s already fired Sessions: Trump thread 87

We start this new thread on a brighter note: the mid-terms were a win for the Democrats, securing the House of Representatives and further seats in the Senate. This means more scrutiny for POTUS and the GOP, and bargaining power.

He’s still a feckless, vain bully, oddly admired by some varieties of Christians - enjoy the cartoon by Mike Luckovich.

Something has to be done, including the possibility of the United States starting our own Worldwide Network to show the World the way we really are, GREAT!

Gee, isn't that already called 'Fox News'?

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — 'The number of farms filing for bankruptcy is increasing across the Upper Midwest, following low prices for corn, soybeans, milk and beef, according to a new analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

The analysis found that 84 farms filed for bankruptcy in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana in the 12 months that ended in June. That’s more than double the number over the same period in 2013 and 2014.'

Just saw about Manafort on the news. Mueller is recommending he be sent to prison ASAP since he is no longer cooperating.

Makes you wonder what info Mueller has that’s let him know Paulie Walnuts has been lying and has been for apparently some time. And what Scrotus has promised him for this perjury.

Read this. It’s Trump speaking, but it mirrors exactly the far Right thinking around yesterday’s tear-gassing. I read very similar opinions on Reddit yesterday. Such as: the mother with her kids? Not her kids; they’re too fair-skinned. They obviously don’t want to be with her by the looks of it. She must be a sex trafficker. That’s why those kids are wearing nappies, you know; they regress in an abuse situation. The ‘mother’ is too old and fat to be their mother, anyway. And why is she wearing a Disney shirt? Is that crazy Dem symbolism or what?

Trump is playing the same record. Imagine if this was broadcast on his State TV channel?

Where did you get that quote from TheClaws?

TheClaws · 27/11/2018 07:29

OYBBK I found the screen grab on Breitbart, but here is a link from The Hill quoting the same.

The day after Trump announces he’d like to have a worldwide US news streaming service? Hmm And that name - Fox Nation - I don’t know. Seems somewhat iffy in a nationalist, fascist way to me, but then I’m sure I’m reading way too much into it.
