That is what I said at the end of the last page. A new level of threat, and hint at media control. All of that is very threatening.

Eh, it's not concerning until the actual adults start acting on it. Same goes for most of his tweets, north Korean provocations aside.

The broadcast lobby is one of the strongest in DC. I wouldn’t worry. Would you like to run for re-election while trying to take away your local broadcaster’s license?

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) - Congo's long-delayed presidential vote cannot take place until 2019 despite a deal with the opposition that it would occur this year, a top election official said Wednesday.

The opposition immediately called the move a power grab, accusing President Joseph Kabila of seeking to extend his rule. There had been indications the election would be pushed back to 2018, but the new announcement escalated an already tense situation in the vast Central African nation.

Kabila's mandate ended in December, but a court has ruled that he can stay in office until the next election. The delay has been met with sometimes deadly protests in the capital, Kinshasa, and other major cities in the country of more than 77 million people.

Observers have warned that the tensions threaten both the mineral-rich nation and the continent at large.

Electoral commission president Corneille Nangaa cited deadly violence in central Congo for the latest delay. He says voter registration in the turbulent region is expected to last until January, and officials would need 504 days after that to prepare for the vote. That timeframe pushes the election date back to 2019.

"For us it's very clear that what (the electoral commission) is saying is just the plan of President Kabila, who wants to stay in power," said Christophe Lutundula, a member of the opposition coalition known as the Rassemblement. "We know the man, his methods and his strategies."

@realDonaldTrump Network news has become so partisan, distorted and fake that licenses must be challenged and, if appropriate, revoked. Not fair to public!

Translation:
If you are not pro-Trump, you gots to go.

Now this is out of Vanity Fair so it probably needs several grains of salt but:

"In recent days, I spoke with a half dozen prominent Republicans and Trump advisers, and they all describe a White House in crisis as advisers struggle to contain a president who seems to be increasingly unfocused and consumed by dark moods."

"It brought into the open what several people close to the president have recently told me in private: that Trump is “unstable,” “losing a step,” and “unraveling.”"


Honestly, if this stuff is actually true, these "prominent Republicans" should absolutely do the right thing for the country and get this guy impeached and removed from office. The party of "America First" should act like it.

"Losing a step" is a very interesting turn of phrase to describe a 71 year old politician. Is his mind not quite as sharp? I doubt it's a reference to his 40 time.

It's "in reference to" him being an odious, grotesque national fucking mistake you wouldn't invent if you were Hunter S. Thompson in his prime

This could be it.

Kyle Griffin‏ @kylegriffin1
@gabrielsherman tells MSNBC that people who've spoken to Trump on the phone say he repeats himself over and over again, rambles in convos.

None of that is new, though it wouldn't surprise me if it was getting worse. He has zero self awareness/shame and the people close to him now are either doing it out of duty for country cause they're armed forces or blood relatives.

I don't think this story has a happy ending.
