Instead of spending time talking about the crimes Russia had committed, he wanted more time spent talking about all the beautiful crimes _he_ had committed. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > FALSE ACQUISITIONS! Sad! > > That’s the main point you should take away from this horrendous Fake News Witch Hunt Hoax that Completely Exonerated him. > > (You might note that he doesn’t say Russia didn’t help get him elected; he merely says he wasn’t _involved_ with Russia helping him get elected. You might consider that a tell if it weren’t for the fact that Loser Donald is such a fucking imbecile that he’s probably too stupid to even realize the implications of his word choice.) Talking to the press this morning on his way to Colorado, Trump’s claiming Russia did nothing to help him get elected and is, in fact, saying they helped Clinton because nobody is tougher on Russia than he is. So, of course, Russia wouldn’t help him. The press interaction was something to behold, even by Trump standards. Who knew all this about anti-Trump Mueller. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > I believe that’s exactly what we are seeing. Only it’s the country in cardiac arrest. ☹ The Dow is not going to go much higher for a while. The trade war is about to get real, and there’s increasing evidence that the economy as a whole is slowing down. Worse, global growth is slowing. There’s nothing Trump’s administration has achieved that fundamentally enables the US to grow its economy if global trade grinds to a halt. He hasn’t dramatically increased our manufacturing capacity. If anything, the increasingly out of control deficits make us even more vulnerable to such an event. What’s troublesome is that we’re seeing how Donald Trump wages economic warfare. He invents reasons to attack a competitor, and he attacks them alone, one-on-one. He “negotiates” by putting countries in a corner and then expects them to capitulate, and when they don’t, he assumes that putting more chips on the table is a counter-strategy. In short, he’s reckless. How countries wage economic war is probably pretty indicative of how they wage military conflict, which portends disaster. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > No, it really is racist. Maybe you’ve heard some other race/color before “trash”, but I never have and I spent a hell of a long time in a damned racist part of the country. The default is that other races–especially Black–are automatically trash and if they try not to be, well, then, they’re “uppity”. Of course I disagree with that racist bullshit, but that’s the view I encountered in that hell of a long time. > > I would’t be surprised at all if those idjits in the Alabama legislature who passed that bill were fucking their sisters and that makes it doubly surprising to me that they didn’t include an incest exception. Maybe they’re starting to figure out that incest is rape too. They’re still too little too late on the learning curve, though. Thank you, I have long contended that that’s racist, and even asked here for opinions and gotten no response. Appreciate your input. ---
