(1) Special thread: Japan PM visit to Mar-a-lago April 2018 - Photos from Day 2-3.

(Day 1-2 photos were mixed in with this thread: )

#MAGA #KeepAmericaGreat
(2) A truly stunning photo above of the Abes, Trumps and Mike Pence at dinner on Day 2. Here are some more from the dinner.
(3) The dinner was held in the dining room of the Trump residence at Mar-a-lago instead of the restaurant in the part of the estate that is open to club members. The place is so massive, it can house both in total privacy. 🏰🔱

Absolutely enchanting people and surroundings.
(4) Earlier in the day @FLOTUS and Mrs Akie Abe visited the historic home that is now the @FlaglerMuseum.

And I thought Mar-a-lago was grand. Whitehall is a 75 room 100,000-square-foot Gilded Age mansion: flaglermuseum.us/history/whiteh…

>Adds it to my dream road trip list.
(5) A very significant joint US-Japan press conference at Mar-a-lago on Wednesday.
(6) Amazing chemistry between these friends.
(7) Press conference photos from Wednesday.
(8) This photo was taken as POTUS spoke about Otto Warmbier... IMO he was unconsciously remembering wiping a tear from his eye at the time. But you just know the Democrat MSM will spin some lie about it, even bringing race into the equation. They're pathetic.
(9) The beautiful Mrs Abe and Mrs Trump making their entrance into the ballroom for the press conference.
(10) The MSM like to take photos of Team Trump members to go with their hit job stories about them, but supporters love seeing the photos... not least because it's clear they're having fun and exude cool calm confidence.

Kelly, Bolton and Miller. Dream team. #MAGA on, brothers.
(11) The Pences flew down for Day 2 of the visit and at first I thought Karen seemed unusually blank-looking... then I remembered she was the closest out of the four at the "top" to Barbara Bush. I think she is grieving and found it hard to be her usual bubbly self. That's OK.🙏
(12) Some great (and short) video clips from the visit:





(13) After writing about Karen Pence not seeming her usual bubbly self, I saw this photo of her seeing Akie Abe for the first time since February. She's super excited and VP is like "always great to see you, Karen will only squeal for a few seconds." LOL
(14) The First Lady's Louboutin shoes at the joint press conference yesterday. Can you imagine how many pairs of shoes she owns? Always perfectly chosen, too.
(15) Pics from the President and Prime Minister's round of golf on Wednesday:
(18)
(19) It was a joy to watch Trump and Abe this week at Mar-a-lago, reminding us of Reagan and Thatcher at the Reagan Ranch. Diplomacy is about relationships where possible and where not, maximum pressure until the other side is willing to play nice. Godspeed, Mr President.

END

Well said, @DonnaLeeSun. I have the same approach.

Donna is "Unapologretically Canadian."

I am Unapologetically New Zealander/Kiwi. Granted, "sorry" has a special meaning in Canada, eh? But our countries do have a lot in common. Mini-thread:
I really get what Donna is saying in her Twitter bio:

"Trumpism has a strong foothold in Canada & we ignore it at our peril. Pay attention, esp. to PP, former PM Harper & idiot Premiers!"

The same is true of New Zealand, Australia, and our OG mothership: The UK.
PP stands for Pierre Poilievre, who became the leader of Canada's conservative party on 10 September 2022.

For me it's super simple: Far right extremism gained a foothold in the US, only to be rejected by majorities of voters multiple times since. Because #DemocracyWins.

"Misogyny" is a trigger word for the far right-controlled Republican party. But the ideology is real, and it can lead to people getting killed.

Bryan Kohberger
George Huguely
Elliot Rodger
Andrew Tate
Donald T****

#RespectWomen is a public health and safety issue.
Evidently, my above use of the term misogyny has triggered a few of them.

They're trying to insinuate that Kohberger was a liberal which, even if true, would have nothing to do with the points made in my tweet. We already know several things about him, and his crimes...
Further, when writing the above list of 5 known and/or confirmed misogynists, some of whom have killed at least one woman, I considered a range of factors that put them on that list.

I want to encourage discussion about misogny and the targeting of women by violent offenders.

"Elections are decided by women." So true.

Esp. the 2020 US presidential election, and others where right wing governments were (and will soon be) punished for anti- public health and safety, anti-science, ignorant approaches to pandemic response.

We manage household health!
Do politicians and their advisers get this yet? In most households, it is one or more women who take basic health and safety seriously, & who develop a superior knowledge base due to our more complex biology, higher rates of illness, & greater need for infection control measures.
Of course there are many men with the same health knowledge and risk management priorities as women, but we are talking about "in general" here, and how that applies to elections.

Gotta laugh, my tweet generated the following reply from a maga account:

"Ukraine flag in bio"

Ad hominem/genetic fallacy is all they have. They deflect by targeting the player not the ball. Because playing the ball is too hard for them. It requires honesty & courage.

🇺🇦
I recognize this form of gaslighting because I learned it from others and even used it, during my time* in Cult 45. (* Ended TWO years ago, OK?)

Any sign that someone is outside the cult is used as a way to disregard whatever the person says.

I proudly attach 🇺🇦 to my a/c...
And I will keep the Ukraini flag on my account for as long as it takes. Full independence, with pre 2014 borders, nothing less will do.

Cult 45ers viscerally hate Ukraine and Ukrainians.

They have to, in order to protect the scaffold of lies they have been fed.

Thread: Mass shooting in a Walmart store, Chesapeake, VA

Here is the latest at 4am Eastern. At 8am Eastern, local police will hold a media briefing.

Yet another shooting. There are some relatively easy ways to prevent most of them...

I'm talking about changing the way domestic violence incidents are handled, and doing more to put long term distance between known DV offenders and their legal access to guns.

An idea best espoused by the outstanding @BeauTFC. Link to follow.

Thread: The future of Twitter

I wonder what price between $8 billion and $44 billion Elon Howard Hughes Musk might consider to sell this vital pro-democracy communications hub before he completely destroys it.

I mean, that's his goal, right?
He paid waaaay too much for it. Value currently estimated at $8 billion. Surely there are billionaires out there with the ability to build a consortium to entice it out of his grubby little hands?

There's a good argument for the US federal government buying it, too...
Or a group of countries. It's not all about the US, you know.

What does the Putin regime have on Musk, that could get him to over-spend so much money? The global fascist movement is the only winner out of this. Or was it the Mercers?
