Trump's Card

[Tubby Isaacs]

Back on topic, I've learned the phrase 3-caveat-lutz from David Frum, applied to Pence's denials about Russian collusion with the campaign.

"I made it very clear I am not aware of any contacts during the time that I was on the campaign between any officials of the Russian government and officials with the campaign, and I stand by that," reiterated Pence.

He added, "I think I was very clear what I spoke about on television is precisely what Michael Flynn had told me and I believe the president was right to move him out of the White House."

France has problems with competitiveness, ease of doing business, long term unemployment. Couldn't some wonkish "centrism" actually improve it?

They're fucked because they joined a flawed euro in 1999. Germany is slowly eating their economy.

And who designed a single currency with no real oversight nor wealth redistribution mechanism? Why those third way social democrats who are best friends with the banks.

Count on a Canadian to try to make a figure skating metaphor happen.

The Daily Stormer have lost at least two domain host companies so far today.

They are now using other channels to promote "boots on the ground" at Heather Heyer's funeral.

Trump announces that he is "seriously considering" pardoning Joe Arpaio

[Toby Gymshorts]

Every time I see that orange fuckwit Trump on telly, I get this earworm. It's not even a catchy one, for Pete's fucking sake.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Bryan, I don't want to go off topic again, if that's OK.

I'm speechless at what I'm reading about him. He basically faked a bomb plot against himself, and his county had to pay out a $1.6m to the bloke he entrapped?

It happens to the best of us.

[Tubby Isaacs]

I thought Mitterrand's Observatory thing was bad.

[ursus arctos]

Arpaio is one of the worst excuses for a human being this country has produced in the last century

Here's another.

So much of reaction by the left today is a rude awakening to the reality that White advocacy is here to stay--out in the open, unintimidated

[Gerontophile]

A speaker, who was protesting the treatment of the murdering car driver (or something) outside the Courthouse today, had a T-shirt with the name Corneliu Codreanu on it.

Do you have a link/photo Gero?

[Gerontophile]

Sorry, normally quicker on the uptake.

ABC News USA

[ad hoc]

Thanks. It's predictably made the news in Romania now. Some (US) bloke called Heimbach apparently, who has converted to Romanian Orthodoxy and proclaimed his deep admiration for Codreanu, and is now one of the scum in the vanguard of the white supremacist movement .

[Gerontophile]

The things we do for hate.

[Levin]

Thank you Gero, that brought a smile on a fairly average morning.

Trump retweets an alt-rightist.

[Eggchaser]

Several close have jumped ship from his committees now. But hey, Obama snowflake fake news. SAD!

[Snake Plissken]

Of the three CEOs who quit, he only tweeted abuse at the one who is black.

[ursus arctos]

His brand is very important to him.

[caja-dglh]

He had been riffing on the lower drug prices for a few days now to try and create a distraction. It was almost an inevitable result. Meantime, Jeff Immelt sticks around; obviously senses this could seal the deal to run Uber.

[Satchmo Distel]

See also the Chicago retweet, which is a variation on the "liberals excuse black crime" myth that is a cornerstone of his suport.

[Tubby Isaacs]

You'd think the president might do something about it.
