Haven't confirmed if this is real (the Trump tweet is, it is on his page). It is hitting the buzzfeed type sites hard this morning.



No blue checkmark next to Obama's name - not a valid tweet.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Report: Trump wants ex-Goldman Sachs partner to head Treasury

Quote
Donald Trump is reportedly planning to nominate Steve Mnuchin, his campaign’s finance chairman, for Treasury secretary if he wins the White House in November.

Anthony Scaramucci, a major fundraiser for the Trump campaign, told Fortune on Tuesday that the presumptive GOP nominee announced his intentions to a group of prospective donors.

Trump tapped Mnuchin in early May to lead the campaign’s fundraising operation. The move raised eyebrows among Republican donors and fundraising operatives, many of whom had never heard of him.

The reason I'm curious is that tweet would probably be from 8 years ago so it is either pulled from an archiving service or an old screenshot before they used the 'verified account' checkmarks.

Turning your ire on the board is unseemly. They made a space with the ALT thread. Grow up.

I'm not turning my ire on the board I'm turning it on the four or five idiots who think they are God!

We changed our title back, or was that someone's rewrite?

That's just how it will show in the feed for a while. I did update the main title to 'Open'.

I just saw a Trumpster describe a Trump quote as "agitprop", the poster also denoted the date was May 8. I assume this is because they put an expiration date on the validity anything their own candidate says

Report: Trump wants ex-Goldman Sachs partner to head Treasury

New World Order=Trump

Remember the exploding heads of the Trumpians going berserk on Cruz and his wife over Goldman Sachs?

Just confirmation they have no principles whatsoever.

Not even those they professed to destroy all Conservative opposition to both Hillary and Trump.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Apparently I have been blocked from posting on the other thread!

Hows that for fairness?

Hey, at least your account wasn't outright suspended for "disagreeing" like mine was.

Here we go!!

The highlight of today's convention may well be an opportunity to boo Mitch McConnell.

Not much else there except the Family.  I see Tiffany is getting a few minutes in the spotlight.

The Donald used Melania as an excuse to make a premature entrance yesterday and he has several excuses to show up today.

The Donald loves him some cheering crowds.
Against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain.

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.


---Melania Trump
