so if he's walking around with an unsecure phone, wouldn't it basically take any 14 year old kid to hack it and starting recording his convos and text messages.

it probably should be a fairly rudimentary hack. i betcha he probably doesn't even do the bare minimum of locking his phone.

Frankly, I'm bewildered that security forces are having so much trouble prying Twittler off this one particular phone. Does no-one have a glass of water they could spill on it? Can no-one "accidentally" drop it on a hard surface? Is it truly beyond the ingenuity of the nation's top experts to rig the charger to set it on fire? Can they not simply REMOVE AND PUT A HAMMER THROUGH THE FUCKING THING while he sleeps?

But no, the national security of the United States of America has to continue to be compromised because the goddamn CIA can stage a coup against the democratically-elected South American government of your choice, but can't work out how to get rid of one fucking iPhone. Jesus Christ.

So.......... if it's that easy to intercept his phone calls, why have they not been intercepted by anyone who might see the benefit to the planet to leaking some tapes, and putting serious heat on congress or the cabinet to remove the stain in chief?

Just wondering.

If you use Chrome, there's a free extension called Make America Kittens Again. It replaces pictures of Trump with pictures of kittens, because, to quote its creator, "because seriously, fuck that guy".

It's astonishing how much difference it makes to one's day. You can also use it to replace pictures of Steve Bannon, Mike Pence and a whole range of other Deplorables, with kittens. I highly recommend it.

My parents packed us up and left the USA in 1971, during the Vietnam War.

To be fair, they do also believe she is a literal murderess, that she illegally sold US super-bomb material to our enemies, that she was solely and personally responsible for the deaths at Benghazi, and that she has done all of this entirely for her own profit.

Donny is different.....…???????? Very , very sad , how this Con Merchant made this country into an ugly joke..!

Trump supporters chanted 'lock her up' just hours after a 'bomb' was sent to Hillary Clinton

This might come as a shock to you but Donald Trump supporters aren't big fans of his former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Yet, you would hope that on the day an explosive device was sent to her and Bill Clinton's home in Chappaqua, New York, they might show a little compassion. After all, an assassination attempt is nothing to laugh at.

Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case. At least not at a rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, where Trump devotees revived the old chant of "lock her up" as senator Leah Vukmir delivered a speech.http://www.taylormarsh.com/...

I once read an account of a visiting author in the Netherlands who encountered a young German Jewish woman who had gotten out of Germany, but was in imminent danger of being sent back. I've forgotten now how he got her out of Holland, but he did, to Denmark and then Sweden. Mid-30s before Kristallnacht, but her parents had gotten her out. It was Peter Freuchen, an Arctic explorer and author from Denmark. He had pull. I remembered that she was early, shall we say. Her family saw what was coming when most didn't. Ever read the Jewish newspaper editorial after Hitler took power about how now he'll restraint the worst Nazis, etc, etc?

Just give him a big red button connected to a video from, oh, what was that TV movie about nuclear war? or the end of Dr. Strangelove. And some sound effects.
