Don't be stupid, be a smarty - come and join the Nazi Party!
Is that a real tweet? The global warming one?
Sadly so. It is embedded, you can click through to the original on twitter and read the replies. Thankfully many people (on twitter at least) seem to have a better handle on climate change than he does.
He has now also said he "doesn't believe" the findings of The Fourth National Climate Assessment produced by his own government:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46351940
Seems literally anything that conflicts with his views is "fake news", even when his own government produced it.
What a child.
Now he wants to start a state controlled news network
I like the people pointing out that "Voice of America" is a thing that already exists.
More 'nothingburger' news..
Not sure how Manafort thought he could have a clandestine meeting in the Ecuadorian Embassy. I'm sure all comings and goings (and possibly a bit more) are closely monitored by the British security services . Still, must've been important if he didn't want to commit it to email.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the decision to void his cooperation agreement and send him straight to jail. 🙂
Cue a volley of 'whaddabout Hilary's emails?' from the orange buffoon.
Oh, and I notice the Guardian piece was filed from Quito...
Sounds like the Ecuadorians may have had an ear to the wall. Let's hope they taped it.
Cue a volley of ‘whaddabout Hilary’s emails?’ from the orange buffoon.
But, Ivanka’s emails...
A great Only Connect question for Victoria Coren;
Queen Elizabeth, Nelson Mandela, Walt Disney - who's next?
Between the Mexican anti-migrant protests (big ****ing lol @ that) and their rampant government and societal corruption, I'm not surprised that. The US and Mexico seem quite suited to each other.
Even by trump's standards the last day of twitter has been amazing... Retweeting this:
Did I miss something? Has Muller fallen down some stairs?
Reckons he used to look like Elvis, so far beyond parody that you can’t even see it in the rear view mirror
I was under the impression that proof of collusion now looking more likely than ever.
Line from Russia to Assange straight to the transition team, now that Farages chum Ted Malloch's been fingered by the people Muellers flipped.
And as we know that Farage visited Assange at the same time, we can only hope that Nigel gets extradited when the time comes 😁
Reckons he used to look like Elvis
They had the same tailor - true fact.
Bit behind the curve here but, if you haven't already done so, please read Bob Woodwards book, Fear. It really is remarkable. I'm half way through listening to it on Audible, a few times I've had to rewind and listen to something twice as I thought I misheard it first time round due to being so out there.
It has been previously stated that Trump considers his tweets to be official Whitehouse announcements.
So by retweeting that meme is The Whitehouse officially accusing his opponents of treason, a crime punishable by death?
Plus, coincidentally, Deutsche Bank's money laundering activities getting some overdue attention. Lots of documents seized.
Seth Abramson thinks it's all kicking off now - with a picture of a Chicago firm which works with Trump on property deals raided and shut down by the Feds today.

If he's right, hold on to your hats...
TBH if I'd done work for Trump I'd be running a mile at this point!!
I might skip the Muller book but the Netflix series should be awesome
So the wrap up from all the stuff about Cohen and Manefort was that the revelations about lies, changes in testimony etc. came just after Trump and his team had made their written submissions to Muller there, detailing the truth (well their version of it) the whole truth (well sort of) and nothing but the recollections of a man who can'r remember the lie he just told
Trump: "Vlad mate, could you invade the Ukraine, I'm in the sh!t again"
Putin: " It will cost you"
Trump: " The usual?"
Putin: "Yep"
Again, things have changed and I don't think that Trump will manage anything so useful or cordial. (especially if he leaves in the back of a police van)
Trump more likely to steal toilet seats and sell them on eBay.
Well never let it be said I don't give Trump credit for what he is achieving, he is responsible for draining the swamp
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/01/opinion/sunday/under-trump-the-swamp-is-draining.html
Most of them in his employment or associated with him, and it's only his brazen attitude to ignoring the rules that is causing others to find them and prosecute them.

Kimbers, surely that isn't real!
Something strange, twitter has him retweeting his own tweet there
I suspect he posted a dud link/url to an unregistered domain and someone generously registered it for him 🤣
That Tweet is now many hours old yet it hasn't been pulled or edited. Unbelievably it is still linking to the same message. Perhaps not an accident after all.
The importance of spacing. Because he hasn’t put a space between ‘G20.’ and ‘In’ Twitter has assumed it’s a webpage ‘g20.in’ and is looking for it. Seems someone has created something for it to find... Bravo!
Squeaky bum time for the Trump gang
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46449950
Good tweet from Seth Abramson yesterday that said this is exactly what Meuller would do if he had some big revelations to come
In fact our elite is rotten and deserves judgment, yet Trump’s mix of kleptocracy and kakistocracy is worse.
From the ny times, first time I’ve ever come across the term ‘kakistocracy’, a government run by the least suitable individual. Must remember that term.

Did you see the orange knobclanger on the front pew at the Bush funeral? It looked like someone had left a turd and it's escort at the wrong service, and you could see in his awkward wee pet lip, that he would give anything to have a fraction of the respect shown to the Bush family.
He is not overly adept at taking off a jacket. One of these days he won't manage it, and have to give a speech with it stuck over one of his wrists.

You could see him fuming through all the comments about "country before president" and "not about republicans and democrats" and bipartisan work, all just statements of the obvious but he looked to be taking them all as personal attacks.
His funeral'll be pretty different.

What happened to Rudy Giuliani? Wasn't he the guy credited for turning around New York City and the guy who came across very well in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks? Wonder what made him want to work for this cretin.
@rene, he was credited but not responsible- the decline in NY crime started under and is pretty much entirely attibutable to his predecessor and to democraphic and economic changes outwith his control- no wonder he gets on with trump. (he famously backed broken windows as a policy and NY became the case study and very celebrated, it wasn't til years later that it was discredited as a policy and by that time everyone "knew" it was a success)
Ironically he did some really good things- domestic partnership rights for same-sex couples, and pretty much made NYC into a sanctuary city...
And another one bites the dust with John Kelly to be out by the end of the year according to BBC breaking news
John Kelly to be out by the end of the year
Irony...

I don't do Twitter, but having read the news about the Mueller report I had a laugh at the fact he seemed oblivious to being referred to as Individual-1.
Come in Individual-1 your time is up.
Democrats visit the White House in hopes of bi-partisan discussion.
Flump: *thinks* “I’m smiling at them as I shout them down. Why aren’t they stopping talking?” *looks extremely puzzled*
Meanwhile Pence looked on like a stuffed animal.
It was a cringeworthy affair as the petulant child got in to full tantrum.
Maybe they could share a cell.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/12/us/politics/giuliani-consulting-abroad.html
It's like they have no idea what this looks like
The government-run Bahrain News Agency featured a photo of Mr. Giuliani meeting in a royal palace with King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa. The story said the king discussed “Bahraini-U. S. relations” with Mr. Giuliani, who was described as leading a “high-level U.S. delegation.”
But Mr. Giuliani was not in Bahrain, a country with a record of human rights abuses, on official business. He was there to seek a lucrative security consulting contract with the government.
The trip was part of a concerted push Mr. Giuliani has undertaken in the last few weeks to win business from governments around the world — including in Africa and South America — for a firm he owns called Giuliani Security and Safety.
another one bites the dust and the new chief of staff doesn't have a very high opinion of his new boss
How much longer does Individual-1 have?

At the beginning of 2018, I promised my kids that he’d be out of office by the end of January 2019.
As autumn approached I had to concede that that prediction looked unlikely.
I am now actually quite hopeful that if anything he could be out of office and even in cuffs by the end of Jan.
He really seems to be getting rattled:
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/snl-trump-tweet-769888/
"one-sided coverage... should be tested in courts"
They should probably consider having some kind of amendment to protect free speech.
How far will he spit the dummy?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46611178
Not how far but how loud, there will be bluster and noise then some waving and then some distance while he throws somebody else under the bus.
Look like Drumpf may be prosecuted and/or impeached for conspiracy. What interesting times.
The Forbes cookie thing is a tad intrusive and slow.
Special relationship?

I wonder if putin knows Trumps in trouble & wants some 'favours' done b4 hes impeached?
It is Christmas though, time for some gifts
Yeah in the middle of a funding crisis, Chuck and Nancy managed to pin the term Trumps Shutdown on him live on TV 😉 Now he plans to go through with it, going to really help his popularity
Mattis (Defence Sec) goes too. Link
In his resignation letter, Gen Mattis described his views on "treating allies with respect" and using "all the tools of American power to provide for the common defence".
"Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defence whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down," Gen Mattis wrote.
Nice
Donald Trump is halving the troop numbers if Afghanistan now and replacing them with his mates in Blackwater.
Mattis has resigned stating that you can't rely on private contractors for national security.
Bet the ERG would hate Mattis, Blackwater is a 21st Century East India Company.
Yayyy for draining the swamp of all those neoliberal elites.
Mattis's letter is fantastic. Dear Trump, I feel that my role as The Only Sane One is incompatible with your goals.
Is seems that #TrumpResign is trending on twitter.
If he did it would make every ones Christmas.
The ever growing danger is that there is pretty much no-one sensible left to question him so he will be left to his own madness even more. Friendly dictator plan is working out well.
Seasons Greetings.
Individual-1 is twisting and turning like a twisty turny thing...

I'm a bit confused about this US gov shutdown thing. Trumpy wants money for his wall. But weren't the Mexicans going to pay for that? I seem to remember someone assuring us that that would be the case?
Yeah, I think it's just a loan really, they will pay once it's built. Anyway what you think you know is so obviously #fakenews that you must clearly be an idiot to believe what you think you might have heard. The only real facts are the last 3 words that have left his mouth, anything beyond that and he could contradict himself. It's a tough one to keep up with really.
I’m a bit confused about this US gov shutdown thing. Trumpy wants money for his wall. But weren’t the Mexicans going to pay for that? I seem to remember someone assuring us that that would be the case?
Obviously just like any building work it must be a staged payment contract, the Mexicans will probably make a payment when the plasterboard starts going in.

We've already had the 1st Fix though. That happened in late 2016. Trump must be due a payment soon, surely?

You're not the only one asking that question;
You would think he would have some experience in being caught in a lie by now.
They seem to have pinned this one on him for now.
