Speaking of radical religion:

The Trump effect is inspiring radical Christians in the U.S. military

That was a ghastly read, and the comments from people defending it.

Might?

As in 'she would have started WW3 etc' according to some, yet the 'isolationist president' seemingly couldn't wait to start playing war games.

What "million jobs" hasn't he noticed the closure of upwards of 40 Coal fired power stations over the next two years?

Hardly surprised the Trump team's budget doesn't add up.

Will the Trump administration double-count its magic asterisk?

He has blatantly acknowledged he can take billions from welfare and health care from his base and redistribute to his ultra rich mates and his base supporters just won't notice.

 

[coley]

so is it the russians or the saudis that own trump for this week? It so hard to keep up. Next time he has a slash I expect some blog posts about how he is now owned by Armitage Shanks

No way, he apparently prefers 'pre used mattresses''

On Raw Story ‘He’s been neutered’: Trump supporters melt down after president calls Islam ‘one of world’s great faiths’

I don't get these guys supporting Trump and then getting upset when he dials down the crowd pleasing Islamophobia. They seem not to have noticed that Trump was a scruple free man who has been all over the political map. He practically wears a "Trust Me I'm A Grifter" T-Shirt. He's just being as inconsistent and opportunistic as he's always been. He may be a hater but he's not going to let that get in the way of raking in over a tenth of a trillion bucks for Uncle Sam like some alt-right twerp might.

"Uncle Sam, as in the people of the US" won't benefit by one red cent from these deals.

urgh now I am imagining Trump curling one out. After a state occasion where he had red meats and rich sauces. Exiting the presidential outhouse and going 'give it 30 minutes guys, thats real news in there'

 

[coley]

"so amazing", "all of my friends".
The way that building is designed, he had to write that after ascending back into the light from a sort of concrete tunnel crammed full of the faces of the dead.
Trump is something special, but the fact that nobody was able to advise him to write something less absurd, or to just not write anything at all, is worse in a way.

Hopefully he will be with his 'friends' very shortly

Three faces saying "oh fuck, what are we doing' and one saying 'whey up Wimpy Dems, who's laughing now' the utter, unbelievable, shallowness of this Twat is beyond belief.

Man the last time a pope looked so miserable standing next to a divorcee, was that awkward time in 1529 when Henry VIII and Pope Clement discovered they were seated at the same table at a wedding.

What a fucking photo, a cartoonists/satirists wet dream, hope to be enjoying their efforts very soon.

They want absolution from their sins? Hope old Popey has a few months spare

But we were discussing the Clinton Foundation taking money from the Saudis. There is no might.

A great interview on #Trump, corporatism, real estate, de-regulation and more

His book on Debt is great.

I've no view on her celebrity status, good or bad, but she is clearly deeply unhappy. I know, I know, she chose this life but I don't like seeing this at all. She's clearly trapped in a vile situation. Agreed, she has put herself there but nobody could have predicted just what a vile, baseless, utterly fucking thick twat The Donald was.

I want to know what the headgear's about can someone explain ? They look like they're dressed up as widows, is that just Vatican dress code?

It's called a "mantilla", and it's obligatory for women to cover their head in certain contexts in the RC church (no idea what the specifics are, though)

His book on Debt is great.

His defence of the police not so much

Explained here Melania Trump in black at the Vatican. Why? - BBC News

Seems there's stricter protocol meeting the Pope than just being in Saudi Arabia. They even had to walk slowly to the meeting - you have to walk in reverence when meeting el popio.

Although a cynic might say they'd want catholic votes so they'd be polite to the Catholic church, but they just want Saudi oil and money, and Trump is obvs anti Muslim migrants, so they couldn't careless about offending Saudi custom.

On BuzzfeedNews NATO Is Keeping Russia Off Its Agenda For Trump's First Visit

...
The alliance is so anxious about pleasing the US president that it tailored its first major meeting with him around topics that touch on his long-standing criticisms of the 28-member organization rather than the Kremlin’s latest provocations.

Russia, which dominated NATO’s previous two summits in Wales and Warsaw, will not be a formal agenda item for the alliance’s meeting in Brussels this week, North Atlantic Treaty Organization spokesperson Oana Lungescu told BuzzFeed News.

"The meeting will be short, and focused on two main topics: stepping up NATO’s role in the fight against terrorism, and fairer burden sharing,” Lungescu said.

"While we do not expect any new decisions on Russia, NATO allies will reconfirm our long-standing twin-track policy: strong defense combined with meaningful dialogue,” she added.

The lack of a focus on Russia is not because Moscow’s behavior has improved in the eyes of NATO. The Kremlin continues to meddle in European elections, back separatists in Eastern Ukraine, and support the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
...

Don't mention the Russians!
