Reprehensible-FBI has caught 27 domestic terrorists since El Paso. WH has remained wholly silent.
Imagine if FBI had caught 27 Muslim, immigrant, or Latino terrorists in the last 18 days, right before they committed mass terrorism like El Paso?
FBI has caught 27 domestic terrorists since El Paso.
WH has remained wholly silent.
Reprehensible
(CNN)Some are teenagers accused of threatening to gun down classmates. Others allegedly issued social media warnings of attacks on store customers or coworkers. Still others are said to have vowed to unleash small arsenals against victims based on their race or religion.
More than two dozen people have been arrested over threats to commit mass shootings in the weeks since 31 people were killed in one August weekend in shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio,
The raft of cases follows a directive by the FBI director immediately after those two massacres for agency offices nationwide to conduct a new threat assessment in an effort to thwart more mass attacks.

Trump officials abruptly call off Midwest agriculture tour amid rising tensions with farmers
Bloomberg News reported Trump administration officials were visiting farmers in the Midwest when they received a credible threat that prompted them to end their tour. The Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour was taking a look at soybeans and corn with Department of Agriculture staff when they were forced to pull out of the area.

This is what a FUNCTIONING democracy looks like!
A lawmaker in New Zealand brought his baby to parliament after coming back from paternity leave. The House speaker babysat for him during a debate:

*Donald Trump vanishes into the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights; he is golfing*
Glorious news, everyone! Donald Trump is God! Everything makes sense now, and the final purpose of all things is at last clear. Donald Trump on Wednesday proudly quoted a messenger who said he was “the second coming of God,” and he described himself as “the chosen one,” looking up at the sky. As I said, wonderful, good, normal news!
*Donald Trump’s entire staff transforms into snakes*
How did we not recognize it before? He can multiply crowds at a wish. He can make the night day and the day night. He can make Melania Trump appear in a window where she is not. He can make friends enemies and enemies, friends. He can stare unblinkingly into the sun (at an eclipse, no less), for the sun shall not strike him by day. He turned Chris Christie into a pillar of salt; his arrival was heralded by a burned-out Bush. With Trump, all things are possible. Don’t give him a baby to cut in half; he’ll do it.
.....................
Hearken, nonbelievers! Of course Donald Trump is the Chosen One — all relevant tropes apply. He arrived on the scene with no particular expertise, and suddenly, he was in charge of everything, even though there was a woman right there who had been preparing for the same thing for decades. He just stepped into office, and suddenly he could do anything he set his mind to. He can wield nuclear power, melt ice that has been there for decades, and he almost bought Greenland.
Also, he is the King of Israel. Great! And he brought Christmas back. Even better! That was just the first sign of many signs that he would perform. He made the lion lie down with the lamb, and then he stood with the lion after the resulting incident. He healed the nation’s wounds (or will, once he gets a magic and only somewhat habit-forming spray from Johnson and Johnson), and you should see what he can do with the jawbone of an ass! And he suffered the little children to come unto him. At any rate, they suffered.
The rest:

And now..."antichrist" is trending...
Trump just called himself the “chosen one” and “King of the Jews”. Not to freak anyone out but...I just flipped through my own bible because that sounded awfully familiar and 2 Thessalonians ch2. Matthew ch 24 and Revelations 13 pop into mind.

"I am the chosen one." -- Donald Trump just now.
What a moment.
President Trump on the WH lawn just looked up to the sky and said, “I am the chosen one.”
He was talking about the trade war with China and repeated his claim that he needs to take on China for unfair trading practice.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday his life would be easier if he had not mounted a trade war with China but said “I am the chosen one” to take on Beijing.
Trump told reporters the United States would probably make a deal with China.

The front page of the NYT-Reality cannot out-crazy Trump.
The front page of the NYT right now looks like one of those pre-election parodies about what a Trump administration would be like.
