And again we will see the hypocrisy from many of his supporters. This is the type of thing many of them have been fearing for decades, the US Government setting the Armed Forces loose on the streets of American towns and cities.

Surely OJC's buddy, Hack Jones, will be running this story as proof of a gov't takeover.

:lol: Inadvertantly I spit coffee when I read the bolded gem. 45 doesn't know how to wipe his own ass without a youtube tutorial, how can anybody expect him to know the constitution.

Sanford’s opposition to Trump, then, was somewhat inevitable. When a chorus of House conservatives took turns fawning over the GOP nominee after a meeting with him last June, Sanford made a point of mocking Trump’s constitutional knowledge. (“Somebody asked about Article I powers and what he would do to protect them,” Sanford told reporters. “I think his response was, ‘I want to protect Article I, Article II, Article XII,’ going down the list. Of course, there is no Article XII.”)

Watched the few YouTube clips taken off Real Time last ep. Suffice to say I won't shed a tear if Milo catch herpes and suffer from it for the rest of his miserable, self loathing life. Vile creature.
 
Its like a real life reenactment of King Ralph.

Without the charm, humour or tragic stage accident to put him in place, people actually chose him.

Pope appears to back anti-Trump protests in letter condemning populism
Pontiff tells activists he supports their fight against ‘gutting of democracies’ in letter that appears to take aim at US president

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/17/pope-francis-donald-trump-letter-condemning-populism

“As Christians and all people of good will, it is for us to live and act at this moment. It is a grave responsibility, since certain present realities, unless effectively dealt with, are capable of setting off processes of dehumanisation which would then be hard to reverse,” the pontiff wrote in a letter that was read to organisers this week.
...
“The direction taken beyond this historic turning point – the ways in which this worsening crisis gets resolved – will depend on people’s involvement and participation and, largely, on yourselves, the popular movements,” Francis wrote.
...
In the letter, Francis condemned the growth of populist and xenophobic movements around the world, saying they posed a “grave danger for humanity”. He also criticised leaders who rely on “fear, insecurity, quarrels, and even people’s justified indignation, in order to shift the responsibility for all these ills on to a ‘non-neighbour’”.

“Sooner or later, the moral blindness of this indifference comes to light, like when a mirage dissipates,” he wrote. “The wounds are there, they are a reality. The unemployment is real, the violence is real, the corruption is real, the identity crisis is real, the gutting of democracies is real.”

He offered praise to the activists who are organising in opposition to those threats. “I know that you have committed yourselves to fight for social justice, to defend our Sister Mother Earth and to stand alongside migrants. I want to reaffirm your choice,” he wrote.

So back to the conference, where Trump admits to just reading out a fact he was given (but hadn't checked)... I think this is super problematic but nobody seems too bothered by it...

He got called out on it, what happens now as far as he is concerned?

Sounds legit and as predicted by some in this thread.

Disclaimer: post contains Hitler comparison

That's exactly the mindset late Weimar Republic conservatives like von Papen, Schleicher, and Hindenburg had regarding Hitler. All they thought about was using him to their own advantage, completely underestimating how dangerous he was.

I don't think that's what happened though. He was just fumbling for an excuse after being caught out :D

It's mind-boggling how history is repeating itself, isn't it?
 
Pence speaking at Munich Security Conference right now. Delivers greetings of 45 and his message that the US continue to support NATO. Promise to tackle the future together.
 
Sorry if this has been posted already.

My post-speech thoughts: Dull speech that didn't offer anything new. Sparse, polite applause. Seems that Pence didn't allow to take questions from the audience.
 
So FOX has turned on him already. There is obviously some underlying Republican agenda in play here. All is not what it seems.

I saw Steven Dennis' tweets this morning and also Todd Zwillich's tweet echoeing him. The latter posted in the meantime a tweet referring to a NYT article I can't access (paywall), therefore not sure if it includes a link to this briefing or whether it's a summary of what's been known so far.

@Crossie have you tried going incognito with the paywall?

If you are using a laptop/pc and getting your monthly 10 hits then getting blocked, just load the link in a different browser. (I have Microsoft Edge, IE, and Chrome all on my laptop) Sorted.

I'm not sure I exactly understand what you mean by going incognito with the paywall. :blush: Sometimes I can access their site, sometimes I can't and get a log-in screen. I tried different browsers and accepted cookies but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Any help to get a better success ratio is highly appreciated. :)

@langster Thanks for reassuring me that this should normally work but unfortunately it doesn't. I get the log-in screen before 10 articles.

If you are using Chrome or Safari then just switch to incognito mode on your browser, should solve the paywall problem.
