Bwahahahahahaha... Trump and company are desperately trying to

get the story back to the sword dance, the curtsy or anything.

The memes about him putting his hands on the orb have taken over.
I cannot stop laughing.

Meet the Woman Who Cared for Hundreds of Abandoned Gay Men Dying of AIDS


Between 1984 and the mid-1990s, before better HIV drugs effectively rendered her obsolete, Ruth Coker Burks cared for hundreds of dying people, many of them gay men who had been abandoned by their families. She buried more than three dozen of them herself, after their families refused to claim their bodies. For many of those people, she is now the only person who knows the location of their graves.

It started in 1984, in a hospital hallway. Ruth Coker Burks was 25 and a young mother when she went to University Hospital in Little Rock, Ark., to help care for a friend who had cancer. Her friend eventually went through five surgeries, Burks said, so she spent a lot of time that year parked in hospitals. That’s where she was the day she noticed the door, one with “a big, red bag” over it. It was a patient’s room. “I would watch the nurses draw straws to see who would go in and check on him. It’d be: ‘Best two out of three,’ and then they’d say, ‘Can we draw again?’ ”

She knew what it probably was, even though it was early enough in the epidemic for the disease to be called GRID — gay-related immune deficiency — instead of AIDS. She had a gay cousin in Hawaii and had asked him about the stories of a gay plague after seeing a report on the news. He’d told her, “That’s just the leather guys in San Francisco. It’s not us. Don’t worry.” Still, in her concern for him, she’d read everything she could find about the disease over the previous months, hoping he was right.

MailStorm: Let's deliver a message to Paul Ryan.

"Paul Ryan has turned off ALL of his public telephones & fax machines in response to protests in favor of Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, Medicare, etc. And he is NOT accepting signed petitions. Instead, he's TURNING AWAY voters who deliver the petitions.
So, let’s see what 67 million postcards look like in his driveway. It will take you just 10 minutes. Please start mailing postcards to his home:
PAUL RYAN
700 ST. LAWRENCE AVE.
JANESVILLE, WI 53545
Let's inundate this man - who was elected to be a representative of the people - with an avalanche of mail, so our beliefs are heard. He works for US, not the other way around."
Copy/paste and share.

This is what happened to the ICE hotline for reporting on aliens:

Trumps’ “VOICE” Hotline set up for people to report on crime from illegal aliens was reportedly overloaded with calls about space aliens

I think we should keep this up.

Report: Trump gave $10 million in Russian money to Jason Chaffetz when he leaked FBI letter

Now that Jason Chaffetz has announced he won’t seek reelection to Congress and has revealed that he may resign early to take a job in the private sector (link), it’s given credence to last week’s report that Russia has been blackmailing Chaffetz and the FBI knows about it. That’s also bolstered by last night’s report that a former Chaffetz staffer has confirmed the FBI investigation. But now comes another report which – if true – helps explain much of what took place during the 2016 presidential election.

The latest report comes from Lisa Garner from the site Reason and Justice, who claims that the Jason Chaffetz campaign “took $10mil donation from Trump the same day he leaked Comey letter” (link), a claim which Daily Kos is presenting as plausible (link). This may initially sound absurd, and we can’t yet find the claim corroborated elsewhere, but it does fit with some of the other details coming from more proven sources. For instance the former Chaffetz staffer asserts that the FBI is investigating him for “campaign finance fraud” (link). And last week’s report asserted that the “fraud” in question involved Russia (link). Put those together and you have Chaffetz being busted by the FBI for illegally taking Russian money.

They are looking for more corroboration. Boy would this explain a lot.

I'm sure that a lot of Secret Squirrels in intelligence services all over the world

were saying WTF when they heard what Trump said about the 'armada.'
You know there were 'eyes' on them.

BTW Armadas do not have a great historical reputation.
