Trump's Card

[ursus arctos]

He was 76

And like Trent Lott, he was a cheerleader at Ole Miss.

That kind of dissolute youth always ends up taking a toll.

That'll smooth things over...

Bruno,
How to embed Tweets

1) In Twitter, select "Copy Link to Tweet" (the top choice in the drop down that appears when one clicks on the downward facing arrow in the top right corner of a Tweet).

2) On OTF, click "Go Advanced" at the bottom of the Quick Reply box

3) In the expanded reply box, paste the link to Twitter between "Tweet" tags (in square brackets, with a backwards slash in the second one, just as with any other formatting tag).

No, there is no button for this. Yes, one does need to "Go Advanced"

The procedure for copying the link can vary according to platform. On Android, it may be the second choice in the drop down. On Apple, it may be through the arrow icon at the bottom right of the tweet.

The other one is arguably even more bizarre.

You've literally just boasted about your nice new smart missiles.

[Ginger Yellow]

Or just paste the URL between tweet tags you write yourself.

[ursus arctos]

No, that's not necessary.

Paul Ryan is going to be spending more quality time with his tax "reform" windfall and will not be running for re-election.

[Tubby Isaacs]

What does he think this, Wheel of Fortune? Win big and fuck off?

[ursus arctos]

Basically yes.

They are all grifters.

[Ginger Yellow]

If you were in charge of the Republican House, you'd want to fuck off sharpish too.

[Ginger Yellow]

Trump is just free associating about Russia on Twitter now. Bouncing back and forth between Syria/diplomatic relations and the investigation. Also explicitly threatening Rosenstein now.

[San Bernardhinault]

So, Paul Ryan has just started his campaign to primary Trump in 2020?

[ursus arctos]

I don’t think so.

I guess that it is possible, but his brand has been seriously damaged, and he seems more interested in enjoying his money.

I would spent that Kochs and their ilk would prefer betting on other horses.

[San Bernardhinault]

Are we expecting a bloodbath between Scalise and McCarthy in the fight to replace him? Or will one just drop out? And are either of them going to be "acceptable" to the insane wing this time round?

[ursus arctos]

Dunno

The degree to which absolute fealty to 45 has become holy writ within the party (at least publicly) means that the old rules no longer apply.

Paul Ryan's magic asterisk.

Paul Krugman is enjoying himself today.

[ursus arctos]

This is very good

[Femme Folle]

God, yes. Somebody needed to say that.

Sometimes golf just doesn't do it for one any more

[Lang Spoon]

Fuckin hell

[ursus arctos]

Yeah.

I was wondering about Mrs. Boehner's reaction too.

[Lang Spoon]

Is she big on the Nancy Reagan/Kids from Grange Hill tip?

[ursus arctos]

No idea.

Your initial response made me think of how she would react to a less inhibited husband
