Trump

But then, it's those very social networks that you're giving out about that are empowering the protesters, helping them mobilise and coordinate.

[morepork]

Which is why they should be watch closely. Those fuckers will control all dialogue, everywhere, if we don't watch out.Try coordinating anything if that happens.

The tech industry has been talking shit about Trump (Thiel excluded) - consider, for example, Facebook working on an instant fact check tool for news stories that appear on people's feeds - and the protest movement, dubbed the alt-majority by the NYT, have proven themselves adept at raising funds. The ACLU and PP have received literally millions in donations, for example, and they're already taking the narrative away from him.

People pouring in. Bad! Surely that's a subliminal message to some of the pond life to have a pop at an immigrant? And blame the judge because el presidente did something unconstitutional! What a clown.

Please tell that that is a hoax?

Ah, I see by the link that it is in fact fake - although its close enough to reality to be believable.

It took all my cunning to put that together and just a few seconds to tear it apart!

This fake news lark isn't as easy as it looks

If it makes you feel any better, I'd rep you if I could.

Have a big grin instead!!

In case anyone was still operating under the impression that this was a "country ban," rather than a "Muslim ban."

he signed an executive order on refugees that imposes a selective ban on immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries as well as establishes preferential treatment for refugees seeking asylum who are identified with “minority religions” in their country of origin. In case there was any doubt about the latter provision’s intent, Trump told Christian Broadcast News that it was intended to give priority to “Christians” seeking asylum over “Muslims.”

This looks fun

Basically, the Trump White House is a shitshow that has largely been a power struggle by a few factions within the administration. Really the stand out bit from this as follows

But for the moment, Mr. Bannon remains the president’s dominant adviser, despite Mr. Trump’s anger that he was not fully briefed on details of the executive order he signed giving his chief strategist a seat on the National Security Council, a greater source of frustration to the president than the fallout from the travel ban.

Trump signed a executive order without knowing the full details of what he was signing, clearly this man is not fit to hold such an office.

This sounds like the story that prompted the following response from little orange fingers:


As funny as his thin-skinned nature is, it's equally daunting when you consider the possible implications.

If you've got a twitter, the WaPo extension for it is a pro-get.

Washington Post is it now, seeing WP next to Trump I just assumed it'd be an outlet for white pride nonsense.

Well, the Trump administration has now released details of all those terrorist attacks that the lying media tried to cover-up and provided no reportage on

Interesting the the list includes such unreported attacks such as Paris, Nice, Brussels etc; and goes on to include the likes of a random tourist murdered in Bangladesh (presumably on the basis that Bangladesh is Muslim majority country, and therefore any muder there must be terrorism until proven otherwise... or something)

Interestingly though, it doesn't seem to mention the Bowling Green Massacre



ETA: Sorry, struggling to get the link to work

How many knife and gun attacks are there on police in the US every year?

Maybe worry more about that as US President than some far flung incidents which may have happened for many different reasons and be nothing to do with your strange travel ban, and maybe don't say if the Police do manage to gather evidence against their attackers such they're brought to court and sentenced that it's okay to disregard the sentencing judge.

[morepork]

He's unraveling. That's just stupid. He also failed to make mention of the mini grand wizard of the KKK shooting 9 people in a South Carolina church, or the white power quebecois that shot 6 people at a mosque in Canada. It's the Central Park Five all over again.....white dudes don't do crime in his head.

Look at the Trumpet leering at the high school girl while his "wife" floats on a magic cushion of oxycodone.

I sure there's also no contradiction whatsoever betweent he stated aims of "earning" £150M+ from the presidency, and the stated aims of not profitting at all from the presidency.

it does rather sound like they're claiming she could've profited from that, though really it's still available if she wants it so maybe they just need a settlement sum?
