Why would I be reading his tweets?

I wasn't talking to you, I was responding to Syt.

Okay, well here is a broader statement: I think we would all be better off if we ignored Trump's twitter.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's the only plaything his staff is going to have to take away from him from time to time.

Let's not pretend the president has that kind of power. Even if he wanted to.
Let's not pretend the president doesn't have Congress, Supreme Court, and most state governments in his party.  And let's not pretend that that party has any moral code, we're just seen that it doesn't.

He does show an unhealthy obsession with Michelle Obama's arms.  :hmm:

After 8 years, they are still fabulous :wub:

I'm sure Obama never had any threats against him.

And we certainly didn't hear enough about that from Seedy here.

I just love how shrill the anti-Trumpers here are. derspiess has been called "derGestapo", Hamilcar and I have been called "Volksdeutsch" (well, we have been called "Volkdeutsch" but that's because Zoupa is semi-illiterate). And all of this for suggesting "gee, how about we wait and see a few weeks before we declare Trump the new Hitler".

I'm not going to wait before we declare you "Marti the new Marti."

It's a holiday weekend, dammit.  I want to enjoy it.

I wonder if Trump is only realizing now how caged he will be.

I would love to watch the process of how Trump deals with the Sir Humphreys. The stuff tends to swallow you. Trump in the the Hacker position sounds absolutely comedic.

Trump transcends rules.  Like annoyances such as reason, convention and decency, he bends them to his will.

Here (in Portland, OR) the demonstrators managed to block the interstate and the light rail vehicle lines.  Being from Detroit and all, I wouldn't consider that a riot; but I am getting the impression that this is the single most disorderly thing ever to happen in Portland.

They were breaking windows and setting fire in garbage cans last night (naughty, naughty), so who knows?  In a few days we may see a white riot in Portland.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
