[Roussette]

I thought it was about time I started a thread so here it is! Mueller time tomorrow...

I love that Wikipedia is already saying baldly that "On August 2, 2019, Trump said in a tweet that he was withdrawing Ratcliffe's name from nomination. Trump said it was because media scrutiny of Ratcliffe was unfair, while White House sources said that Trump had become concerned about Ratcliffe's chances for confirmation, following feedback from some Republican senators." and pointing to

I called it! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Absolutely Across .... just a few lies here.. he had no choice

'One or five'.

Approval ratings are important. No?

DONALD TRUMP'S APPROVAL RATING IS LOWER THAN ALL FOUR MEMBERS OF THE SQUAD

Oh that'll grind his gears, that will!!

He'll do a tweet about 'polls/numbers don't matter' or 'that doesn't exist' like he did in the Stephanopoulous interview. Popularity is everything to him?

That should be ! not ?.

Both work, Across.

👍🏼

Too true cozie

Oh God another one. Mass shooting in El Paso TX mall. Multiple fatalities, 3 suspects in custody.

Waiting for the Tweeter-in-Chief to offer 'thoughts and prayers'. Or to ignore it because it's a border town with a large Hispanic population.

Thoughts and prayers to the good people on both sides and if everyone had guns this would never happen

Although the last I heard the NRA was somewhat on the back foot?

Another shooting. Dayton, Ohio.

And the MN thread about the shootings (which instantly blamed the alt-right) has been taken down to "look behind the scenes".

I wonder if that means the OP is suspected to be a troll? And which sort of troll if so?

Guess all Divisive Issues are meat to them.

Yes I was confused about that too Perking. Not your normal sort of thread to be taken down.

All the 'officials' are shying away from the 'T word'. But that's exactly what it was. An act of terror.

Would Trump call random slaughter intended to terrorise people "terrorism" when it is committed by a white male in his twenties? I don't think he ever has.

Nope. He'll make insensitive and cruel remarks about 'mental illness'. Brown gunman = terrorism, 'those people' which equates to 'they're all like that'. White gunman = mentally ill, which equates to 'white people don't do that'.

It infuriates me, not only that he 'others', but that he perpetuates the stereotype of people with MH conditions as a 'violent madmen'.

As far as the MN thread, I don't know why it was taken down but there has been unsubtantiated rumours online of Russian 'bots' trying to stir up shit on both sides about this tragedy.

Video games to blame, apparently.

Why of course! Video games! The fact that both my boys (and countless others) played GTA and other 'violent' games and didn't turn into mass shooters is meaningless. But perhaps we should also put part of the blame on song lyrics. That'll do the trick for the Trumpsters. Glad that's sorted.

Phfffft!!!

allow weapons of war on the streets and the streets become a war zone, waiting for it to tweet out it's permission
that vile thing which has risen to occupy a position above us all
surely it cant be human, it's not one of us, it's some other kind of thing

this is a harbinger of what will happen if Trump is denied victory in 2020, people are poised ready to defend their beloved shitbag and his promise to turn the whole world to shit

They'll have James Norman to reckon with.

I hope.

Sorry. That would be (former) Secretary Mattis.
