'Conway said the president was fixated on John Bolton’s prominent mustache — and that it was a reason not to pick him as secretary of state. […] “He didn’t like the mustache,” Conway said. “He just went on and on about the mustache.”' Well, #Trump eventually got over it, unfortunately for global peace and justice. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/26246 -

The Independent has an article on "how to watch the #US State of the Union Address". I would have thought "from between one's fingers, in a state of horrified fascination" was the unavoidably obvious vantage point. #Trump -

The next two years (if it lasts that long) in the #US are going to be interesting. Jeff Sessions got what he wanted: a string of far-right judicial appointments whose effects will be felt for a generation or more. Paul Ryan got what he wanted: huge tax cuts for the rich (and there's no way he's not going to be running for President when he decides the timing is right). John Bolton is getting what he wanted: the severing of damn near every significant post-cold-war treaty, coups across Latin America, and a war with Iran. #Trump has nothing more useful to give. Time to cut the moron loose. -

"Lock her up! Lock her up!" Satire has been exhumed, hit over the head with a shovel, poisoned, shot in the chest at point blank range, given a stern talking to, and reburied under a tonne of radioactive concrete. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/20320 #Trump -

John #Bolton is too crazy for the crazies. Read the stuff he's had published in "respected" foreign policy journals over decades; it's bonkers. The problem is that, assuming a scandal-ridden lame duck executive for the next 2 years (vote, #US citizens!), a newly respectable crazy like Paul #Ryan, refreshed after 2 years of faux-retirement from public life, may in 2020 be up against Hillary "this time, for sure!" #Clinton instead of a candidate who _isn't_ the least popular politician in the country, and it's all over. #Trump and his mini-Nietzsche seriously believe fascism-lite will deliver some form - however selective - of greatness and glory, but they're incompetent. Competent crazies like Ryan don't care about greatness; they just want to import banana republic policy (the "Washington Consensus") back home and make out like bandits while the 99% starve. https://www.vox.com/world/2018/11/1/18052338/bolton-cuba-venezuela-nicaragua-speech-troika-tyranny -

Damnit. Zephyr Teachout lost NY Attorney General to a Clinton Democrat. This is important because a sitting president can only pardon people who have federal - not state - convictions, and the dwindling pool of tight-lipped co-conspirators live and work a stone's throw from #Trump Tower. -

Perhaps a weasel; #Trump knows a lot of things, but few of them are true. -

Liz Warren: "Each mother told us her own story about crossing the border, being taken to a processing center, and the point that they were separated from their child or children. In every case, the government had lied to them about where their children were being taken. In every case, save one, no mother had spoken to her child in the days since the separation. And in every case, no mother knew where her child was." https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/6/26/1775524/-Here-s-what-I-saw-at-the-border #US #Trump -

Cathy O'Neil pointed out that #Trump is a machine learning algorithm, spouting random stuff and repeating whatever gets a positive reaction. The professional contrarian, in contrast seeks negative reactions to support their fearless outsider pose. It inevitably gets increasingly sad and desperate. -

Saddlebags bursting with newly-tax-exempt cash, Paul Ryan rides off into the sunset. Or the 2019 GOP primaries. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/11/politics/paul-ryan-retirement-house-speaker/index.html #Trump loses another of the "adults" in the room, a right-wingnut so divorced from reality that he had to be schooled in functional finance by Alan Effing Greenspan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNCZHAQnfGU -

Sometimes I feel like the only middle-aged white man who hasn't yet been appointed by and fired by #Trump. What gives? I'm qualified. "Great guy. Doing a wonderful job down there in… Been hearing a lotta great things. So many. Beautiful. First guy I thought of for the job. What? Yeah, after those seven who, frankly, it's not for me to say but they didn't do so well. Maybe it was drugs or booze, or maybe it wasn't. Maybe some kind of weird sex thing. Eight? Look, I'm not… Y'know what? No more questions. Get outta here. My bucket of chicken's getting cold." -

In short, fuckhead Aleksandr Kogan from Cambridge University was bought by fuckhead Alexander Nix from Cambridge Analytica (this dude and his fake office in Cambridge) to give them access to 50 million Facebook full data sets, which he could harvest through an app that can read _all of all of your contacts' Facebook data_, including private chats, and then target you - all without your knowing or consent - with #Trump and #Brexit propaganda.
