... not only that, he’s threatening treason charges on those who investigated him.

From that, I learned that Little Donny is planning to turn up and answer questions after all:

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-jr-subpoena-senate-committee-testify-russia-moscow-project-a8914261.html

Did I miss that upthread somewhere?

Just happening. Not sure what to make of this.

Trump declares emergency over IT threats
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48289550

President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency to protect US computer networks from "foreign adversaries".

The president signed an executive order effectively barring US companies from using foreign telecoms believed to pose a security risk to the country.

Mr Trump does not name any company specifically in the order. However, analysts suggest it is mainly directed at Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei.

So hang on, who has he not yet picked a fight with?

lionheart · 16/05/2019 00:19

Yes, Donny J. 'negotiated' the terms of the questioning.

I thought we needed some comic relief. This tweet from the far-right’s Charlie Kirk made me giggle. No source! Just a bit of ridiculous scaremongering for the MAGAidiots to freak out over and retweet.

INSANITY:

1% of the entire population of Guatemala has crossed the border illegally since September

It's projected that 25% of the population of Guatemala has intentions of migrating

What other nation would allow a quarter of another country to illegally invade them?

Emoluments clause, POTUS? Lordy. Maybe in his twisted mind he thinks, “Well, I’ve done much worse - this is nothing, right?”

So Trumpy has given Conrad Black, a crook and a fraudster a Full Pardon.

Of course it's nothing whatsoever to do with the book Black wrote called 'Donald J Trump, a President like no other', a total arse licking exercise, nothing to do with that no sirreee...

It stinks.

lionheart · 16/05/2019 18:21

It always stinks when Trump is involved.

JUST IN: MUELLER team unseals evidence that Flynn aided the obstruction invsetigation -- including providing testimony and a voice mail that "could have affected" his testimony.

ALSO: FLYNN cooperated with prosecutors on WIKILEAKS investigation, sharing internal statements made by senior Trump campaign officials discussing the prospect of reaching out to Wikileaks.

The far-right’s ‘Blexit’ leader, Candace O., falling over herself here with dubious stats and a ridiculous claim. She provides zero sources for such incendiary statements. Black genocide?

62% of abortions in Alabama are performed on black women.
Black women are only 7% of the population but account for over 40% of ALL abortions performed in America.
Due to abortion, black population growth has stagnated.
Planned Parenthood is voluntary genocide for black America.

From a (very) quick google the KFF doesn't seem to have any overtly dodgy issues

www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/state-indicator/abortions-by-race/

Not sure about the % black women make of the population though, google puts it higher at around 13%.

So Russia has said it will sell soy beans, poultry and meat to China. Wonder how the US farmers feel about being sold out to the russians...
