Obama makes me wish they'd abolish the 22nd Amendment. But even that would be a double edged sword. Can you just imagine our fear if we knew that Scrotus could gain not only a 2nd term, but a 3rd? God preserve us!

Blardy hell.

From lionheart's link:

Facebook let Trump's campaign run over 2,000 ads referring to immigration as an “invasion”
www.mediamatters.org/facebook/facebook-let-trumps-campaign-run-over-2000-ads-referring-immigration-invasion

Between January and February, President Donald Trump’s Facebook page ran about 2,200 ads referring to immigration as an “invasion.”

PerkingFaintly · 05/08/2019 23:13

That's just between Jan and Feb this year.

And since May 2018, at least 9 other Republicans have run Facebook ads referring to "invasion" when talking about immigrants.

Obama. That’s all.

These sites are hosted in Russia, so are supposedly immune to subpoena. If this is true, and people such as McConnell and Carson used it, then that’s all kinds of nefarious.

Here it is.
This site is owned/run by a leading GOP digital operative. He runs systems on servers physically located in Russia, and advertised it.
Mitch McConnell is a client. Ben Carson is a client. Gingrich is a client. And many more.

Tell the world.

So much for the chocolate cake.

If he's not careful China will cause a world chocolate shortfall just to spite him. I hear it's becoming quite popular there with consequences for chocolate commerce.

Not sure if to be happy or not.

Trump sinks the markets — and maybe his reelection chances

Mostly because it could affect innocent in the US and other countries.

"What impact might the currency fight have? “The consequences for the world could well be profound; reaction in both stock and bond markets suggests that a global recession could easily occur,” Rattner warns. “That would be a significant black mark for Trump. Ironically, the man who promised to make America great again could well be fully responsible for a completely unnecessary economic contraction.”"

Trump said people with mental illness should be 'involuntarily confined' if necessary to prevent mass shootings, despite research showing a lack of connection between mental illness and gun violence

Any guesses about what's the most common FB comment?

Yes, suggestions of a certain DJT to be the first person to be locked up involuntarily.

I'd say that the truth is that anyone who shoots strangers for no reason is mentally sick, but not everyone who is mentally sick shoots strangers for no reason.

And of course nobody who has no access to a gun shoots anyone for any reason, because he or she lacks the means. (I nearly wrote "he" there, but I think there have been three female shooters who killed several people in the USA since 1982, a total of fourteen victims.)

It seems incredibly simple to work out, to me, but apparently it is outside the mental limits of DJT.

Lweji · 06/08/2019 19:04

The problem is that muslims who kill multiple people aren't mentally ill. It's because they're muslim. Hmm
And so on...
Only white people are allowed to be mentally ill. For anyone else, the group is at fault.

Whosorrynow · 06/08/2019 19:04

all this bollocks about 'it's mental illness that pulled the trigger'
ridiculous obfuscation, the problem is that there is a trigger to pull.

Lweji · 06/08/2019 19:11

And what the trigger is part of. It's not just a simple hand gun or a riffle.
It's war grade weapons.

Trump dropping the market shortly after it has recovered/steadied is such a consistent pattern, someone has to be making money.
So how would the scc/fed etc spot that kind of insider trading?
