Trump having fun at the 2017 White House Easter Egg Roll - not!



He looks like he's going to toss his Easter cookies.

21,000 people are reported to have attended.  Thanks to lackluster planning by Melania that is down from 37,000 who attended President Obama's last Easter Egg Roll event.

Yeah...try freaking out because the last locations of the pings on his cellphone have been in your city, two hours east of Cleveland. Not leaving my house until he's caught. Not sleeping tonight either.

stay safe, Ket. -hugs-

And I agree, stay safe, Ket. That's a scary situation. :/ I hope they catch that man before he can harm anyone else.

French forces stop Terror attack before it happens. They confiscated explosives and firearms from two men they arrested.

They keep saying they had no knowledge of the cell phone ping to the public, however here in Erie, the people know that to be untrue. He's been here since Sunday evening. But it's over now, thank goodness.

At least the danger from him is over now. :/ I feel sorry for his former partner, because she's likely going to go through a lot after what happened.

I just saw this article on the news about a shooting in California:

Just saw the news that he apparently killed himself after a brief police pursuit.

Shooting of 3 Caucasian men by Middle Eastern man is now being labled a hate crime.

Newly finished Russian Military base in the Arctic raises tensions in the north due to multiple nations seeking to lay claim to the untapped oil fields beneath the ice.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russias-military-buildup-in-arctic-puts-us-on-alert/ar-BBA1SoC?li=BBnbcA1&ocid=HPCOMMDHP15

Since no one country can truly lay claim to this region I think it would honestly be best if they made a treaty similar to the one in Antarctica. All it will lead to is war otherwise. These regions shouldn't be owned by man.

OT: Local news: An athletics trainer here in Scania (southern Sweden) is under investigation for having handled a hundred teenagers and younger boys by tying them up and placing plastic bags knotted off over their heads, sometimes also striking them.

Talk about weird training methods...

Its meant to inspire fear in us, but I cant help but start laughing at the B movie effects and how fat Kim Jung Un looks when he stepped out. Its hard to see them as a threat.

17 year old kid with disability (trouble seeing and had to have teeth removed so cant talk properly) gets kicked from an online game by the other players for his inability to talk clearly and other players react by sending him lots of love and hundreds of dollars. So he can now afford the eye surgery he couldn't before as the only doctors that can do that surgery doesn't take his insurance.

Now shit on the CS:go community all you want for being toxic as fuck, and I gladly do as it is toxic but damn that is a nice gesture. And the fact that he can now afford that surgery had me in tears.

One of the best-known neo-Nazi movements in Sweden, with the gullible-sounding name Nordic Resistance League (Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen) have made a bid to appear at this summer's Almedalen Week, a well-known annual "politics and current affairs fair" that brings together politicians, NGOs, media, lobbyists and many from the general public in a relaxed athmosphere every July on the green island of Gotland. And they didn't just make a bid - they were accepted!   

Somebody's been naive in the extreme...The NRL are both a political party - a small sect - and a self-declared armed militia aiming for (you guessed it) an armed Nazi revolution. Many of their members are used to talking internally about the day when politicians, journalists, bankers and "media jews" will be hanged in the town square, or the need for a bit of provoking violence to get things to happen fast. Simple security reasoning should have been enough to dismiss them. And even if the people organizing Almedalen aim to be inclusive, it's no kind of common civic right to advertise your party or pressure group there, just like it's not a civic right to have your own tv show. These guys are not even trying to be part of a wider political conversation - they want it changed out for a Nazi dictatorship!

I am plainly mystified by how the arranging committee can have been thinking. and this just two weeks after a terrorist attack in the capital.

In an interview in a local paper, one of the leading figures of the party said, "Most politicians and journalists are not on the same lines as we are". Understatement of the month.
