Trump and the Giant Impeachment. Trump thread 97

[AcrossthePond55]

With credit to Stephen Colbert (and Roald Dahl) for the title.

Vote taken, public House hearings to begin. Here we gooooooo!!!

Yes.

Yes.

What do you get out of it? (seriously interested)

Yes.

We get to laugh, cry and be angry.
All apply to this, btw.

Ditto. With knobs on.

We learn all kinds of things about democracy, history, culture, politics.

We pay attention.

We talk.

This is bigger than Trump (big as he claims to be).

'WASHINGTON — The internal watchdog for the Department of Homeland Security found that the Trump administration anticipated it would separate 26,000 children if the "zero tolerance" policy of 2018 had been allowed to continue, and that the agency knew it lacked the technology to track and reunite children with their parents.'

Time for another outing of this cartoon by Peter Kuper from The Yorker July 2017.

Giuliani at stage 4?

Happy Thanksgiving Across and other US Mumsnetters. Hope you are all spending the holiday with the people you love.

Indeed.

(CNN)President Donald Trump touted his move to intervene in the cases of three service members accused of war crimes at a campaign rally on Tuesday, framing the objections he faced from senior Pentagon officials as coming from the "deep state."

"Just this week I stuck up for three great warriors against the deep state. You know what I'm talking about," Trump said. "And so many people said, 'Sir, I don't think you should do that.'"

Thanks Paws, cozie, and lion. Today is 'Cook-a-palooza Day' and T-Day is tomorrow when we will eat ourselves into a coma.

Wish I was setting a place at my table for each and every one of you. And for everyone who has helped 'carry me' these last 3 years. Only one more to do. I'm looking forward to raising a glass of celebratory champagne with all of you next Nov 4.

And back to Rudy.

Dear oh dear.

The art of the spin ... Fox’s talking head Mark Levin on the Justice Dept. report. Many MAGAs are expecting INDICTMENTS! out of this report, but it does seem they will be disappointed.

Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow

We shall see if this latest leak is accurate. But this is why I don’t raise expectations about this IG or his coming reports. He’s an Obama appointee. And he went pretty soft on Comey. I hope I’m wrong. But we will know very soon.

What do you get out of it? (seriously interested)

We get to feel like we are informing each other, helping other people, and making some sense of the craziness. When the world seems like it is falling apart, sometimes it helps to have a place to come to to chat to people who have the same mindset as you. We do have a large readership, too. It isn’t just us posting into a void.

Agreed Across!

Deutsche Bank Executive Who Approved Trump's Loans Commits Suicide

Reportedly. I hope he wasn't found hanging with rope marks around his wrists.

Ousted Navy Secretary Richard Spencer has written a scathing op-ed about his tenure with Donald Trump (unfortunately it’s in the WaPo; I’ll see if I can sort a copy elsewhere.)

Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind 20 min

In which Richard Spencer torches Donald Trump:
“This was a shocking and unprecedented intervention in a low-level review. It was also a reminder that the president has very little understanding of what it means to be in the military, to fight ethically...” t.co/tPj2mwYrqT

Jeez.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to Across and to all our American friends. Hope it's a joyful and peaceful day.

I could not believe the Rocky Balboa tweet from the POTUS. I read that at his last Rally he said to his cult members that at Walter Reed the Doctors wanted to see his chest or some such nonsense. Hence the picture.

I honestly thought it was a parody account. And his supporters on there saying it's hilarious and he's triggered the liberals or whatever. All whilst ignoring how bizarre and worrying his behaviour is...

He's not going to be impeached and he will almost definitely be reelected

I needed a laugh this morning

Forgetting impeachment for now, he is rapidly deteriorating cognitively and I doubt he will last until the next Election.

Happy Thanksgiving for all in the US.

Not sure it's to be laughed at. It depends on how much GOP thinks he can win reelection and how much they have dirt to hide. And how much the other bare chested leader wants fake Rocky to win.
