I only recently found Trump has a sister who is a federal judge and has long refused, even in the early days of the campaign, to comment on anything or associate with anyone.

She confirmed that the voice of the fake publicist who used to call the news to talk about Trump related stuff was actually Donnie. But yeah, she's probably embarrassed by all of this.

APPARENTLY Kushner was invited to Iraq by Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dunford.

https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/848737938871656449

A classic story of Kushner's brain having enough sense to say 'give the loving general a seat at the table'. That said, I can see the trip being a 'hey, this is why your father-in-law needs to shut the gently caress up' kind of a trip. Or maybe something to show Kushner that he's playing with lives now.

How two US Marxists wound up on the front lines against Isis:

"...Other aspects of their experience jolted the assumptions they had come with. They were perturbed by the relish with which the YPG greeted the U.S. presidential election of Donald Trump, who is being hailed within the secularist group as an enemy of Muslims. Chapman is an observant Jew, and one of his hopes was to find a way to bridge the gulf between Muslims and Jews by demonstrating his solidarity with Islam. Instead, he found himself fighting alongside people who denounced Muslims.

“There’s a lot about it that’s not utopia,” he said. “It’s disappointing when people say things like ‘All Muslims must leave.’ ”

I feel like that is common knowledge about the YPG. Especially figured you would know that if you are a believer in their ideology. Or maybe at least do a google search before flying into a war zone

quote:

The online ad reads like something only a metallurgist could love: an offer to sell 22 pounds of highly pure lithium 6 every month, set for delivery from the port of Dandong, China.

But it caught the attention of intelligence agencies around the world for a simple reason: Lithium 6 offers a fast way to turn an ordinary atom bomb into a hydrogen bomb, magnifying its destructive power by up to 1,000 times. The seller listed in the ad — who even provided his cellphone number — was identified in a recent United Nations report as the third secretary in the North Korean Embassy in Beijing.

But experts say the lithium ad — with its implication that the North is happy to sell an excess supply of the precious material — suggests that it is far too late to prevent the nation from becoming an advanced nuclear power.

More stories about Trump voters who can't believe that Donald loving Trump would gently caress them over! Shocking!

My favorite bit

quote:

Betty Harris, 77, gets choked up when she talks about her husband, who died in May, and her son, who died in February. Her two daughters live in Oklahoma City and visit once a month or so. There are two things that get her to leave her home: a quilting circle with friends and daily visits to the senior center.

The center offers lunch for two bucks, exercise classes, gospel singalongs, tax preparation help, monthly boxes of food for low-income seniors, a meal delivery program and a staff that can patiently explain Medicare or how to operate a cellphone. If someone doesn’t show up, the others quickly figure out why.

“It’s the only bright spot,” said Harris, who used to work for AT&T. “It makes me get dressed and get out of the house.”

quote:

Harris voted for Barack Obama when he first ran for president in 2008 because she liked his promise of change. But he disappointed her in a number of ways, including, in her eyes, being too sympathetic to Muslims. She voted for Republican Mitt Romney in 2012 and Trump last year.

quote:

But Harris is upset by the president’s proposed budget, which would dramatically cut funding for the Robert T. Davis Senior Center, managed by the Bryan County Retired Senior Volunteer Program. Harris said she gives each president 10 strikes before she withdraws her support.

“I have high hopes for Trump, but if he’s going to be cutting these kinds of programs, that’s going to be one,” Harris said. “And we’ll see. I hope I don’t get up to 10, but I will give him one for that.”

What exactly was it he said that she found she responded to emotionally? "gently caress all those browns, they caused your problems!" Cause she's over 18 so it obviously wasn't her pussy he was going to grab.

I honestly question whether there's anyone out there who actually voted for Obama and then voted for both Romney and Trump. Bonus points if that mythical disillusioned Obama voter is old, white, and near the poverty line.

As endearing as these stories are, I refuse to believe this woman or anyone in her situation ever voted for Obama.
