Tweets from a lunatic

[ruby59]

Wow. So this is happening (story in link, then a few random tweets about it):

King added, referring to Warren, "It's almost like a bait and switch, stir up the emotions, in the name of King—and my name is Alveda King... [and] play the race card, which she was attempting to do."

Donald's been busy this morning! Lots to unpack here, but I literally just have a minute so I'll post them without my usual commentary (first pic is tweet one; second pic shows the rest, but you have to read from the bottom up for them to make any sense).

 

[OreoRosies86]

WOW.

I wish he would just work and shut up. This irritates me more and more each day. I think that tweeting about Ivanka was wholly inappropriate and today's don't make it any better. Dang it just work and shut up.

 

[Venti25]

Geeze.

Yup, I agree. His tweeting is immature and rediculous. Kath: I came to post these this am and saw you already had! Thanks for updating. I feel like it just gets worse and worse.

I had to write an email to the White House. I never did that with Obama because what was the point. But I want Trump to succeed with much of his plans so this distraction is irritating.

I'm on the west coast and on top of that, just generally too busy in early mornings to be able to post much - anytime you feel like adding to this thread, please do!! I'm sure there will be times that you will beat me to it, lol.

I plan to continue this thread as long as he plans on tweeting like a lunatic.

ETA - I just remembered you're on the west coast, too

From today. Snip from the article linked in the tweet:

"Last week, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores sent a note to employees — a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times — telling them to throw away signs for Ivanka Trump products.

“Effective immediately, please remove all Ivanka Trump merchandise from features and mix into” the racks where most products hang, the note read. “All Ivanka Trump signs should be discarded.”

Kath, It looks like this thread will still be active 3 years 11 months from now!!! You know he won't stop. Trump doesn't have a presidential bone in his body. He proves he doesn't on a daily basis.

I'm off to Nordstrom to show them my support!

Ugh I hate them all so much (Chump and all his associated cronies). HOW IS HE STILL IN OFFICE?!

I think Congress is biding their time until he does something so egregious that even the cult followers turn against him. I think they are keeping a list of all this stuff so the evidence will be overwhelming when it comes time. But for now, it's just too soon.

I don't know how to get a screenshot of tweets, but I love the one that said "Go Buy Ivanka's Stuff Chinese kids worked really really really hard on them!"

 

[Dee*Jay]

I'm thinking along similar lines Betty, but I think the Pubs are also holding off as long as possible so they can get as much of their agenda through at they can before they have to do this.

I assume that you and DeeJay are right about this. I'm just one of the many for whom it cannot happen soon enough. But I agree that I think Congress is using that as a strategy.

This is what I think, too.

Please tell me other people watched that train wreck of a briefing. I literally thought he was going to walk out. He lost it, called reporters "silly", deflected all questions, and generally had a glorious meltdown. At one point it became clear that multiple members of the press were working hard to suppress laughter at the absurdity of the whole thing.

All kidding aside, this may not be a bad idea.

The duties of a President must be overwhelming.

They are followed closely by a physician to see to their physical health.

So, having someone to tend to their mental health, imo, could be a positive added layer as well.

Yes but can you imagine the uproar if a republican had introduced this bill during the past 8 years? The screams of racism would have been heard in Norway.

I look at it this way. It may not have come up before, but so what?

Can you imagine today a President showing early signs of Alzheimer's finishing out the term.

Look how the Presidency aged Obama.

So if it can be helpful and reassuring to its citizens, especially with an older President, why not?

Donald Trump's mocking tweets about Charlie Hebdo resurface after President criticises terrorism coverage
Andrew Griffin,The Independent Wed, Feb 8 7:16 AM PST

The President mocked the magazine for its lack of success and bad finances, just days after attackers broke into its offices and killed 12 people.

The White House has claimed that the media is either refusing to cover or minimising its coverage of a range of terrorist attacks allegedly perpetrated by Isis. Officials claimed that the group is perpetrating a "genocide" in the US and pointed to a list of 78 attacks that weren't covered enough.

The list doesn't include the shootings at Charlie Hebdo in January 2015. But it does reference the killings by Amedy Coulibaly, who shot one police officer and four hostages in a kosher supermarket in an attack that occurred at the same time and was linked to the attack on the French satirical magazine.

In the wake of that criticism – which media organisations have pointed out is untrue and ignores the vast coverage given to the terror attacks – fresh scrutiny has been applied to Mr Trump's own tweets.

Just a week after the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, he posted a series of messages that mocked the magazine and the staff who worked at it. The magazine was having "no success", he wrote just days after 12 people were shot at its offices, and he mockingly wrote that the two gunmen should have just waited for it to fold.

Spy magazine was a satirical monthly magazine based in New York that ran between 1986 and 1998. It is in large part remembered for mocking and exposing Donald Trump among other celebrities, and christened him with the "short-fingered vulgarian" reference that still follows the President around.

Last year, the Spy magazine founders re-united to discuss that same mockery of Mr Trump, and suggested that it continues to torment the then-Presidential candidate. “I think he’s made pretty clear that he has wonderful, powerful, beautiful hands," an aide to Mr Trump said in response to the story.

Mr Trump has posted a range of other tweets in response to terror attacks, including blaming the Paris shootings on the fact that people didn't have guns to shoot back at their attackers with.
