" We have our hostages, testing, research and all missle launches have stoped" tweets Trump

The fact that I am having a meeting is a major loss for the U.S., say the haters & losers. We have our hostages, testing, research and all missle launches have stoped, and these pundits, who have called me wrong from the beginning, have nothing else they can say! We will be fine!

Elon Musk's Boring Company has gotten its $500 flamethrowers into the hands of consumers for the first time.

One thousand people got hold of the devices at a Boring Company headquarters pickup party over the weekend, where they torched marshmallows.

For legal reasons, the machines are named Not-a-Flamethrower.

Some people have already been torching things at home and sharing the images on social media.

John Kelly Says The White House Is A 'Miserable' Place To Work

John Kelly Says The White House Is A ‘Miserable’ Place To Work: Report
Kelly’s tenure in the Trump administration has been rocky for months.


Several White House aides have considered leaving the Trump administration in the near future, including chief of staff John Kelly, who reportedly called the building a “miserable place to work” last week.

Kelly made the comments to a visiting group of senators and has questioned how long he can work for the president, The New York Times wrote on Sunday. Joe Hagin, one of Kelly’s deputies and the point person arranging the summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has also considered departing.

The Times notes people close to Trump have said the president isn’t worried about what’s expected to be an exodus of staffers after the upcoming midterm elections in November, but rather sees the chaotic atmosphere as beneficial. Turnover in the Trump White House is among the highest in modern history as senior officials have been forced to resign, fired amid scandalous behavior or, much less frequently, left voluntarily.

Fox News Host Accidentally Calls Trump 'Dictator'

Abby Huntsman called Trump and Kim Jong Un summit a meeting of 'two dictators'

A Fox News host has accidentally referred to the highly anticipated summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a meeting of "two dictators." "Fox & Friends" co-host Abby Huntsman made the comment on Sunday as TV footage showed the Republican president landing in Singapore for a summit with Kim on Tuesday. Per the AP, guest and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci didn't catch it. But the daughter of US Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman later apologized on air for what she had said. Her gaffe still took off on Twitter. The two leaders arrived in Singapore on Sunday for their talks, which initially were billed as an effort to rid North Korea of its nuclear weapons. The meeting has been downplayed by Trump in recent days.

black woman handcuffed for no reason

Shopper goes to Victoria's Secret to get sensor removed from bra, and gets handcuffed

https://www.ajc.com/news/national/tennessee-woman-says-she-was-racially-profiled-victoria-secret/9IOInGzKFd8dwoKpLbR74O/

Jovita Jones said an employee at Victoria’s Secret in Collierville forgot to remove the censor on a bra she purchased recently at the store. On Monday, she took the bra back to have the censor removed.

"I told her she could keep the bag up there. I was going to go look around the store," Jones said.

As she made her way to the dressing room with new items to purchase, Jones spotted a police officer walking toward her.

"He could have asked, ‘Ma'am, can I search your bag?’ He didn't do any of that. He just came in and (slapped) handcuffs on me. He made up in his mind I was guilty," Jones said.

An employee had called police on Jones, who has no criminal record. The store tried to make things right by offering Jones a $100 gift card, but she was not satisfied.

the foreign press is on to Trump... that he just does stuff to cause chaos

today's news. European reporter mentioned that Trump moved from fight with enemies to fight with US allies because he
just "spoiling for a fight". they are on to him. that tariff battles have no complex thought behind them, no rhyme or reason. Trump does this stuff just because he likes to... it makes him feel important and he likes to fight.

Same with today's announcement about pre-existing conditions in insurance. Trump doesn't care about suffering of people. He just does stuff because he can.

Sick guy.
