... to maintain the mountain metaphor (despite the annoying typo in the thread title).

I think Trump and the Right, following Barr’s speech and meeting with Murdoch, are adding ‘values’ to their weapons repertoire.

President Trump: "The ultra-left is waging war on the values shared by everyone in this room. They are trying to silence and punish the speech of Christians and religious believers of all faiths." #ValuesVoterSummit

I've seen the criticism of the LGBT town-hall and Warren's joke framed in similar terms (God-fearin' versus heathen).

One phone call:

apnews.com/ab67c31d9b3c4acdada93a624052ddc4

'WASHINGTON (AP) — There were dozens of ears listening to President Donald Trump’s 30-minute phone call with the leader of Ukraine that is at the center of a House impeachment inquiry , and as many eyes that saw what he said.

White House staffers, working in the secure, soundproof Situation Room in the West Wing basement, listened in and chronicled the conversation . National Security Council personnel edited a memo written about the call. White House lawyers, according to a government whistleblower , directed that the memo be uploaded into a highly restricted classified computer network. And there were the staffers whose keystrokes on a computer made that happen.'

Speaking of FB, I've recently seen some ads for FB.

Maybe if they cared more about privacy and fake news and stop worrying about Warren.

Thankee. Smile

Reminds me of where we started way back when with HRC and then the women's march, with Sally Q. Yates trying to hold the line, and Dr Ford testifying a line of women standing against this slime.

No Trump this week but it’s worth it for Kate McKinnon’s Elizabeth Warren - SNL cold opener

If the race were to be decided based on who is best suited for the McKinnon treatment, Warren would have it in the bag. Smile

the values shared by everyone in this room.

Trump thinks everyone in the room with him shares his values of having sex with another woman while your wife is at home with your tiny baby?

And shares his values of getting his staff to pay the woman off through specially set up companies?

And shares his values of dropping his loyal staff like hot cakes when he gets found out?

And shares his values of not paying his bills, especially to small companies it might bankrupt?

And shares his values of craving flattery, and wanting to go round the table having staff tell him he's wonderful?

And shares his values of boasting he's sexually assaulted women.

And shares his values of stating on TV that he'd like to have sex with his daughter?

Wow.

I knew some so-called Christians were hypocritical, scuzzy human beings, but I didn't realise there were so many Trump was confident the room was full of them.

If I were someone in that room, I'd be repudiating Trump's claim so loudly right now he'd be deafened by the roar.

Well done Turkey and Trump.

Just what the region needed were escaped ISIS people.
