Trump's Card

[ursus arctos]

Ivanka throws in the “designer” towel.

The company, based in New York’s Trump Tower, had been dropped by retailers such as Nordstrom due to flagging sales. Its dresses, shoes and handbags — all of which were made in foreign countries such as China and Indonesia — also conflicted with her push for more jobs in the United States.

The closure comes as a surprise even within the company, where officials had been discussing the implementation of long-delayed oversight of its foreign factory partners as recently as last week.

Sessions sounds as syphilitic as Trump whilst also coming across as someone who'd be happy organizing a lynching.

jeff sessions, yesterday:

CNN has obtained the Trump tape. Trump says "pay cash", Giuliani claims he said "don't pay with cash"

The other issue is how Trump can deny he had sex with these women if he is willing to pay 150k. Who believes him? Or the voters know he slept with them but don't care, even though his wife was pregnant etc.

[anton pulisov]

The voters know. I think that's clear enough.

What's the bad news?

That you learned how to embed a Tweet?

I’m opening the champagne.

[Satchmo Distel]

It escalates to the Supreme Court who slap it down?

[ursus arctos]

Needs to go to the Fourth Circuit first.

A few Twitter Trumpers seem to think he's just won a crushing trade victory over the EU.

[ursus arctos]

He's going to need a new mantelpiece to display all of these Nobel Prizes

[Tubby Isaacs]

It's stunning that Juncker said the EU intended to negotiate a reduction on trade barriers. The EU's never tried to do anything like that before. Only Trump could have got the EU thinking like that.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Only trump could have had a face to face with Juncker. That's never happened before, and I'm pretty sure that he's never been to America either.

Jordan and Meadows. Unless Trump's downfall is imminent, that looks like overreach, doesn't it?

That bit where they keep starting paragraphs with "On <insert date>". That's a list, not an Article.

Rosenstein has a conflict of interest in an investigation because a different investigation is investigating him?

I know a lot of people dislike Mehdi Hasan (personally I think he's great), but this is worth watching, just for the comedy value

[Tubby Isaacs]

I see there's no vote on this impeach Rosenstein lark. Somebody on that thread suggests the Democrats might to have the House vote on it. Can they force that? Would the Republicans vote for it?

Actually, I'm sure this vote won't happen, but I'd be interested to know if it could, and what might happen if it did.

[Satchmo Distel]

It's just soundbite material for Fox and other Trump mouthpieces.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Yeah, I get that. But the House were forced to take it seriously and vote on it, what would happen?

[Tubby Isaacs]

A fairly striking poll. Poor Trump and Republican scores in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.

There was me thinking he was a young Bangladeshi cricketer. But his name is spelled Mehedi Hasan.
