John McCain says no: Today in Tweets

I’ll believe that Graham-Casssidy is dead on October 1st, when they need 60 votes again.

Look what these craven, souless assholes have done now. Vile, nasty, reprehensible wastes of skin.

If Trump were a character in a movie, I suppose this might be funny. . . .

Steve Bannon basically just admitted Trump is easily duped

The information that President Trump sees has been a major subplot of the White House’s internal drama. Aides often privately describe the president as highly susceptible to acting upon the last piece of information he’s seen — no matter how dubious. . . .

But rarely do you see someone close to the president just come out and admit how unsophisticated he is as a consumer of information.

That’s what Stephen K. Bannon did Monday night, though not quite in so many words. While chatting with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, the former White House chief strategist suggested that Trump was essentially duped into supporting appointed Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) in Tuesday’s Alabama special-election runoff.

Link for the article attached to the Husband Shirt (or, as commenters on the late website XO Jane would have called it, the Husband-Husband-Husband Shirt; they were of the opinion that a husband is not a magic bullet):

*grind teeth* Donnie boy, you ARE nonsense. However, you are very dangerous nonsense, and therefore we are forced to focus on you no matter what.

You diseased, mucus ridden boil on a camel’s sphincter.

That’s a great movie list; I haven’t seen Society for years but it used to be a firm favourite. ‘You’re not one of us – you have to be BORN into society’ is probably the hidden message inscribed in miniature in every bit of Trump merchandise. Coincidentally I was watching ‘They Live’ for the first time in a long time just the other day, and I can certainly see the relevance of that one as well.

Slightly OT, but I was bored yesterday ‘teaching’ textiles, so I had a look at what properties the Tangerine Nazi owns in the UK in the hopes of finding a way of doing some direct action. Nothing closer than Scotland but I have a few ideas for screwing with his hotels and golf courses. The problem is that, having googled Turnberry, now I’ve got pop-up adverts for Trump hotels appearing in the middle of David’s posts, which is disconcerting and ironic.

@WWTH
Election is so damn relevant…

Late 90s tho *shrugs*

@Surplus To Requirements

Two major reasons for that:
1. Sneaky browsing at work, which is the reason I’m usually late to conversations and sometimes entirely absent; and,
2. No idea how. The last computer I owned was a Commodore 64, and that was too complex for me. I’d say I was a digital neandertal, except they were way ahead of me in problem-solving, and considerably better at living in the Ice Age too.

Usually I don’t mind the personalised ads, anyway – they show me pretty pictures of caving lamps and Norwegian cruises, both of which are pleasant to look at and so far outside my budget they might as well be fictional. It’s just the Trump-garishness….

@Surplus to Requirements

It’s a good point, I’ll suggest it. I suspect ignorance rather than conspiracy on this one…

@numerobis:
Also, this is Alabama. Roy Moore, as you noted, already got re-elected as a judge because of his odious views, not in spite of them. Despite the man outspokenly believing that the Constitution is subservient to the Bible and being slammed down by higher courts multiple times, way too many people in his state want somebody like that.

(Seriously, why would state judges ever be elected?)

So apparently Jared Kushner’s voter registration says that he’s a feeemale:

Not sure what to make of that!

In the article about Alabama’s election, I noticed this:

“Despite Trump’s opposition, a number of fervent Trump supporters and former White House staffers had backed Moore. These include former chief strategist Steve Bannon, who told voters at a rally for Moore that ‘a vote for Judge Roy Moore is a vote for Donald J Trump’, and housing and urban development secretary Ben Carson, who issued a statement of praise for Moore on Friday.”

And:

“Bannon himself appeared on stage before Moore in Montgomery…”

And:

“[Trump’s] tweets supporting Strange from the last two days disappeared from his account.”

This probably means something.
