If my Twitter account was blocked for 11 minutes, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t notice. Was Trump’s account gone for those 11 minutes so that followers couldn’t read it, or did Trump try to tweet something and discovered he couldn’t? > [@BobLibDem](#): > > I can understand how some people could have voted for him. Some would vote for Satan if he had (R) after his name. Some simply disliked Hillary’s voice. Some just wanted to shuffle the deck. Some voted for him on a lark as a protest against the inevitable Hillary. I can understand all that. What I cannot understand is how they continue to rabidly support a guy who has accomplished nothing, does not care about them, actively conspired with an adversarial power, shown zero compassion, and has stocked the government with people intent on destroying the part to which they were to oversee. The alternative is for those people to admit that they were wrong (which will be difficult) and that those they disagree with were right (which will be damn near impossible). ---

> [@Bayard](#): > > Bowe Bergdahl has been sentenced to a reduction in rank, dishonorable discharge, and fine. No prison time. Didn’t Trump call for him to be executed? I’m bracing myself for Trump’s reaction to the sentence. You may have to wait for a while since he’s currently on a plane to Hawaii. These Tweets for the past few days have been increasingly disturbing. It’s absolutely not okay for the President of the United States to call a criminal defendant an “animal” and bray for his execution. It’s not okay to call on the Justice Department to investigate his political opponents. But the thing is, it’s not illegal for him to say that stuff, it’s just not okay. And if it wasn’t clear before, it’s now obvious that his supporters and the Republican Party establishment will not hold Trump to any standards at all. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > Trump is probably “frustrated” that he can’t make all the decisions in the Department of Military Justice. > [@Trump](#): > > “The saddest thing is, because I am the President of the United States, I am not supposed to be involved with the Justice Department. I’m not supposed to be involved with the FBI. I’m not supposed to be doing the kind of things I would love to be doing. And I am very frustrated by that. I look at what’s happening with the Justice Department, why aren’t they going after Hillary Clinton with her emails and with her dossier, and the kind of money — I don’t know, is it possible that they paid $12.4 million for the dossier, which is total phony, fake, fraud and how is it used? If Trump is so certain that the dossier is fake why does he want it investigated? He should just laugh that they spent so much money for nothing. The fact that he keeps wanting it looked into says to me that he is scared about it. Trump is mainly sad because he isn’t treated as the autocrat he thinks he deserves to be. ---

A safe bet is the military judge took into account the intel info gleaned from Bergdahl. Of course Occupy White House doesn’t understand a thing about any judicial system; the fool even thought he could fire judges. ---

The closest I can find to a direct comment from Trump on the person who rammed a car into the crowd in Charlottesville is [this](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/14/us/politics/trump-charlottesville-protest.html), > [@](#): > > From Trump > “To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered,” Of course, in the same time period, [he put both sides at the same moral level](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/15/us/politics/trump-press-conference-charlottesville.html?_r=0) (or worse): > [@](#): > > From Trump > “I think there is blame on both sides,” the president said in a combative exchange with reporters at Trump Tower in Manhattan. “You had a group on one side that was bad. You had a group on the other side that was also very violent. Nobody wants to say that. I’ll say it right now.” > > Mr. Trump defended those gathered in a Charlottesville park to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. “I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups,” he said. “Not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch.” Moving on the Halloween attack in New York, on October 31, Trump tweeted: > [@](#): > > In NYC, looks like another attack by a very sick and deranged person. Law enforcement is following this closely. NOT IN THE U.S.A.! On November 1, Trump moved on to blaming Schumer (I believe this is de-bunked now): > [@](#): > > The terrorist came into our country through what is called the “Diversity Visa Lottery Program,” a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based. Also this, calling for death penalty: > [@](#): > > NYC terrorist was happy as he asked to hang ISIS flag in his hospital room. He killed 8 people, badly injured 12. SHOULD GET DEATH PENALTY! Call for Guantanamo, but keeping him here is faster. > [@](#): > > Would love to send the NYC terrorist to Guantanamo but statistically that process takes much longer than going through the Federal system… > [@](#): > > …There is also something appropriate about keeping him in the home of the horrible crime he committed. Should move fast. DEATH PENALTY! There are also a few further tweets about revising the visa entry program as a result of this attack. The first attach gets a generic mention (nothing direct) and defense of white nationalists, and the second one gets Guantanamo, calls for the death penalty, and frothing. ---
