The text of this article oversells it, but this look like something too.

Definitely an oversell, but his demeanor as he's standing up...that is not the demeanor of a healthy person.

i want to believe and all, but that is def overselling it. someone of his crew could've winked him over, only for him to be told by israeli guys: 'hold on, just one more photo-op and we're done here'.

Trump has a letter signed by a genuine MD that told us he would be the healthiest President of all time. Maybe he should start passing that out to every visitor along with those electoral maps.

Adviser close to Trump says he was "very unhappy" yesterday that John Boehner attacked his presidency. But decided not to tweet about it.

Now's a good time to pack those bug-out bags, Seoul. 3 CVs in WestPac. VOA News: Sources: 3rd US Naval Strike Force Deployed to Deter North Korea

The USS Nimitz, one of the world’s largest warships, will join two other supercarriers, the USS Carl Vinson and the USS Ronald Reagan, in the western Pacific
.

This is consistent with CV locations, and highly unusual (generally only one CVN is deployed to WestPac). If we hear about the USS Theodore Roosevelt joining them from San Diego, its practically a given Trump's up to something.

NY Mag: Trump Is Saying He Will Pull U.S. Out of Paris Climate Deal

President Trump has told multiple people, including EPA head Scott Pruitt, that he intends to pull the U.S. out of the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change, according to a new Axios report based on information from three anonymous sources with direct knowledge of the conversations.

re: that Iowa rally canceled due to 'an unforeseen change in his schedule'. Maybe he needed to meet with his lawyer that day, because of some little legal problem or other they needed to discuss. You ever think of that, huh?

I like the first one: It is my opinion that many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies made up by the #FakeNews media. Opinion? HE KNOWS. He matter of factly admits that nothing he says has a factual basis, not even something that he kinda should be the one with the most knowledge about.

It is also pretty clear that Trump is a moron who admires political strongmen.

the donald today is slightly richer than ross perot (4 vs. 3.7 billion according to very quick searches) and thus about sixteen times richer than mitt romney's supposed net worth ($250 million), which is a hundred times poppy bush's. old money ain't worth what it used to be. hillary's just below the h.w. level. bloomberg, america's eighth-richest person, is worth $35.4 billion dollars. mark zuckerberg (#7) will be eligible to run for president in 2020. look out world.

Zuckerberg stands for nothing but he wouldn't be Trump. Vote for the lizards, or a worse lizard might win.

a grim thread to reread btw. e.g.:

trump beating j.e. bush maybe the most interesting thing long term. would be hilarious if he became the horse to beat and the whole primary process becomes an "anyone but trump" saga.

it'll be cool when people have to ask zuckerberg to divest from facebook and give up control and it won't matter anyway because it'll already be designed to manipulate the electorate on its own

i hope elizabeth warren doesn't run for president. she's much better off in the senate, where she can do the most good

Karl Malone, Sunday, 28 May 2017 19:00 (six years ago) link

xp it won't matter anyway because it'll already be established by precedent that you don't really have to divest or establish an effective blind trust any more because Trump got away with it

There was a fair amount of discussion in 2015-16 about the desirability of a Warren campaign for president, with many shades of opinion expressed, but as I recall there was mostly agreement about the desirability of a theoretical Warren presidency.

A is for (Aimless), Sunday, 28 May 2017 19:17 (six years ago) link

Warren would have been an infinitely better candidate than Clinton. Why the Democrats wanted to run the most divisivw political figure in America will forever be a mystery to me

In a HUGE FUCKING SHOCK, Politico reports that the Trump campaign probably has not preserved the documentation (including emails) requested by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Unlike the White House, which is subject to federal recordkeeping requirements, campaigns aren’t bound to preserve documents. But staffers may have some emails still backed up on their phones or computers, or documents — including calendars and other records that could wind up being critical for investigators.

Presidential campaigns tend to have short windows for maintaining emails on their private servers. And while they often do keep field plans, budgets and other critical personnel documents for archival or legal purposes, the retention policies for emails frequently mean all messages are automatically deleted within 30 to 90 days unless they’re specifically preserved.

Trump’s campaign, said a former senior aide, didn’t do much in the way of establishing a backup plan to preserve those digital records. “You’d be giving us too much credit,” said the former staffer. “The idea of document retention did not come up. The idea of some formal structure did not come up.”

And of course, whatever wasn't already destroyed was certainly destroyed in the hours following the official request. Because these people are disgusting criminals and traitors, to a man.

grawlix (unperson), Sunday, 28 May 2017 20:13 (six years ago) link

There'd be no reason to destroy the non-incriminating ones anyway. Appearing to comply is always a good look compared to 'gosh darn it, there's not a single scrap of documentation left in the cupboard!'

They're also deeply stupid, though, as we have repeatedly seen.
