He invented it at around the time he built the first ever wall.

Advance warning for those who prefer to avoid the Orange One orating - Trump speaking about his wall and wheels.

Warning appreciated.

There should be a special emoji to warn of an appearance by Trump.

'A federal appeals court has ordered the prosecution of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn to be dismissed.

In a surprise ruling, the DC circuit court of appeals overruled district judge Emmet Sullivan and has ordered him to accept the justice department’s motion to dismiss the criminal case against Flynn.'

  1. States must prepare for unprecedented mail voting
  2. States need enough polling places to avoid long lines
  3. Trump disinformation must be aggressively countered

Thought COVID Wreaked Havoc on the Primaries? Just Wait Until November.
The primary debacles show just how much could go wrong in the presidential election.

Following now. The last thread was fascinating. Thank you. I'm enjoying twitter's marking of his tweets. I can imagine the rage it gives bunkerbaby.

Pretty sure the Berlin Wall was more secure than the US /Mexico Wall

2. States need enough polling places to avoid long lines

So tough in a pandemic though. We have a primary on July 14th. We are really struggling to hire enough people to staff the polling places.

OTOH at least 3 times the usual number of citizens have requested mail-in ballots, so perhaps we'll be OK.

''“This picture is not a fraud. The Left is attempting to use it as a negative,” read the caption filled with misspellings and illiteracies shared by Trump Jr.

“Its not. This is the look far too many of us that have worked a night shift or a 48 hour shift or a third job are tooo familiar with,” it continued. “This is, been working my ass off for the American people, good old fashion exhaustion, born of love; not for what your doing, but who your doing it for.”

“This isnt an attempt to say anything,” the caption concluded. “This is a candidd shot that screams ‘Ill do anything for my country!"'

Sensible as opposed to senseless.

Democrats will hold an almost entirely virtual presidential nominating convention in Milwaukee using live broadcasts and online streaming, party officials said Wednesday.

Joe Biden plans to accept the presidential nomination in person during the 17-20 August convention, but it remains to be seen whether there will be a significant in-person audience there to see it. The Democratic National Committee said in a statement that official business, including the votes to nominate Biden and his yet-to-be-named running mate, will take place virtually, with delegates being asked not to travel to Milwaukee.
...
Perez said scaling back Democrats’ festivities is a matter of public health. He sought to draw a contrast with Trump’s push for a traditional convention in North Carolina, clashing with the state’s Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, and public health officials over the details amid the pandemic.

The Republican National Committee has confirmed its official business will be conducted in Charlotte. But Trump has said he plans to accept his nomination in Jacksonville, Florida, because Cooper wouldn’t guarantee Republicans the ability to host a large-scale event in Charlotte’s NBA arena.

Oh, that really is a joke! What does Donald Trump Jr know about working a night shift or a 48 hour shift or a third job? The closest he will ever have come to any of those is staying up late at a party.

PerkingFaintly · 25/06/2020 12:22

Staggering in wiv a cuppa.

Brew all round.

TheClaws · 25/06/2020 12:28

Thanks NorthWest!

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 25/06/2020 13:06

Hmmm. A couple of months ago Trump banned all travel from the EU to the USA because people might bring in cv19 with them.

Now the EU is planning to ban travel from the USA for the same reason.

I wonder how Trump will react?
