How so? (I haven't been closely following the investigation)

 

If that theory ended up being true, I think the thought is that if Mueller decides he doesn’t need to interview Trump, he must think he has enough evidence that he doesn’t need Trump’s testimony

 

Ahh okay, that's what I figured

 

Oh, please do. This would be a train wreck.

 

I think it's all more related to the Congressional hearings next-week with Facebook and Twitter. Sees this as a good opportunity to rile up his base so any effort by Twitter and Facebook to point out how insane this all is is immediately seen as fake.

This guy won on making people feel like they were being ignored, and now he has them believing their god given right to tweet the N-word in all-caps is being silenced by the liberals.

 

why would you even remotely believe something trump says without verification?

 

She is so good at this

 

They already tried this with Gab. James Woods tried to get everyone to switch to it and when they saw it was just a MAGA echo chamber, they switched back.

 

I mean 4chan already exists

 

WSJ published an article about how Muslims have taken over London

 

It's fun imagining his character on The Office saying this

 

He's getting a White House job

 

It's especially funny, because Trump himself would hate that. Daddy likes his Twitter follower count too much.

Even as the revised code of conduct explicitly outlaws antisemitism, representatives of British Jewry have issued an ultimatum to Labour: it must also incorporate the IHRA definition of antisemitism in all its parts—or else! It is, to begin with, unclear why Jews warrant special treatment. Indeed, of all the protected categories in the rule, British Jews are the richest, best organized, most strategically placed, and least subject to “hostility and prejudice.” If Jewish communal organizations can so openly, brazenly, and relentlessly press this demand on Labour, it’s because of the political muscle they can flex and the political immunity they enjoy. Further, the demand is on the unseemly side, as it implies that Jewish lives are somehow more worthy. It recalls the nauseating ethnic chauvinism at play in the stipulation that The Holocaust must be separated out from run-of-the-mill “other genocides.”

It is yet more disturbing that the proposed definition bears so little on antisemitism per se and so much on Israel. It is often heard from Israel’s defenders that the Jewish state should be treated and judged like every other state; indeed, that not treating and judging it like other states is antisemitic. But no other foreign state is accorded special dispensation in the Labour manual; indeed, no other state is even mentioned. Is British Jewry imposing on Labour an antisemitic coda? It is also cause for intrigue why Israel figures so saliently in a definition the subject matter of which is antisemitism. Consider this scenario. The Afrocentric, Jamaican-based Rastafarians worshipped Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. In the early 1970s, Selassie stood guilty of crimes against humanity as he presided over and concealed a mass famine in his country. If Rastas convened an International Slavery Remembrance Alliance, if this body then contrived a definition of anti-Rastafarianism that proscribed criticism of Ethiopia, would it be so hard to discern that the impetus was not fighting “prejudice and hostility” against Rastas but, instead, immunizing their Holy State from deserved scrutiny?

 

Gotta save those pennies for spaceships and laser guns!

 

Michigan is voting on server wages going to $9.25 an hour and it’s just a deluge of local businesses and restaurants saying that prices will go up minimum 30% if this passes and I can’t say anything because I have to work with these places.
