''Quid'? You mean like an octopus?''No, President Trump. You're thinking of a squid.''No, that octopus thing is called a quid.''Of course it is, sir.''And what the hell is a 'proke whoa'?'

I was on a supply job yesterday, and--because it was at my old school and I knew the students--the music teacher arranged for me to cover two of her periods involving guitars. So I switched with the teacher who was in for her: Ms. Trump. She was in her late 20s, so it was probably her first or second year supplying. I wouldn't wish that name on anybody--"Good morning grade 8s, I'm Ms. Trump"--much less someone new.

This WaPo story fills in some blanks. It’s kind of funny because it’s all these guys going, “We could just never understand where his obsession with Ukraine came from ...”

In the fall of 2017, Trump was set to meet with then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko at the United Nations in New York. At the time, U.S. officials were working to convince Trump that Ukraine, locked in a long war with Russian-backed forces, was worthy of American support. Then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told Volker that he would have about 45 seconds to brief Trump ahead of his meeting with Poroshenko. If Trump was interested in learning more, Tillerson said, the president would ask questions. Volker rushed through his pitch, according to former U.S. officials who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic topics. Trump then peppered Volker with his negative views of Ukraine, suggesting that it wasn’t a “real country,” that it had always been a part of Russia, and that it was “totally corrupt.”

what's weird is that just before that he was bragging about his 95% approval rate among republicans. so is that who is angry? it must be, right? he's not going to say republicans aren't in the majority (even though they're not)

there are other clips from other spots in the audience where all you can hear are cheers, and the boos are drowned out. there were probably a ton of cheers and boos in the audience, from all sides. this is just another one of those "take a screen capture of trump or someone behind him at a particular moment and analyze it to death" scenarios

He used the same phrase a few days ago to mean Republican voters.
“The American people are fed up with Democrat lies, hoaxes and extremism,” said Trump. The Democrats, he said, “have created an angry majority that will vote many do-nothing Democrats out of office in 2020.”

It's weird, but you might be getting an anti-Nixon moment. That is, there might be a very large 'silent majority' who just want those angry idiots to shut the fuck up and not tweet and not yell and not do crimes.

Tinhat time:
That’s three whistleblowers. What about the other four? Cockburn’s source says that at least one is nothing to do with Ukraine but instead was reporting a call between Trump and the Saudi ruler, Mohammed bin Salman. Specifically, the whistleblower is said to have ‘concerns’ about what was said on the call about the president’s son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner. Kushner himself is known to have a very close relationship with MBS. Cockburn has previously written that Kushner may have been what Cosmo would call an ‘oversharer’ when it came to MBS. Unfortunately, it’s claimed that what he was sharing was American secrets: information Kushner had requested from the CIA would (allegedly) be echoed back in US intercepts of calls between members of the Saudi royal family. One source said this was why Kushner lost his intelligence clearances for a while.According to Cockburn’s source about the seven whistleblowers, there’s more. It is that Kushner (allegedly) gave the green light to MBS to arrest the dissident journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was later murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. A second source tells Cockburn that this is true and adds a crucial twist to the story. This source claims that Turkish intelligence obtained an intercept of the call between Kushner and MBS. And President Erdogan used it to get Trump to roll over and pull American troops out of northern Syria before the Turks invaded. Cockburn hears that investigators for the House Intelligence Committee know this whole tale and the identities of some of the people telling it. Whether any of is true is another matter but Adam Schiff certainly seems to be smiling a lot these days.
