CHB story: Tumpology: Trump's compartmentalization may work against him
In response to Tillerson explaining that basically Trump is dumb as a post here, this is what Trump oour classy president Tweeted.

Related to the Rudy story below, he did it again omitting a space between collusion and So, thus creating a link to a domain available from Somolia, collusion.so, which Lawfare bought, and redirects in a split second to The Russian Connection page of their excellent website. Even in this Tweet Rudy isn't making sure there are spaces between all his sentences.

This isn't a big enough story to put on Capitol Hill Blue, but it is interesting:
Rudy Giuliani made a small mistake with unanticipated consequences when he left the space out in a sentence in a Tweet. He created a link to a then non-existent website G-20.In. A man named Jason Velazquez, a digital marketing director from Atlanta, noticed it and realized it was a domain in India which he could buy for $6.00. He did this, originally putting up the simple message "Donald J. Trump is a traitor to our country," but now he is adding links to articles.
Amazingly, as of this writing the Tweet along with the mocking comments has not been deleted. You can read them here.
Note that Giuliani didn't put spaces between two other sentences but this just was sloppy Tweeting with no untoward consquences.

Rudy's Tweeted saying Twitter is run by "card carrying anti-Trumpers" in response and blamed Twitter rather than admit it was his error. He threw in a blast against Time Magazine for good measure.
"Twitter allowed someone to invade my text with a disgusting anti-President message. The same thing-period no space-occurred later and it didn’t happen. Don’t tell me they are not committed cardcarrying anti-Trumpers. Time Magazine also may fit that description. FAIRNESS PLEASE"
This is from the Washington Post article about the Tweet: "Carrying out the prank only took 15 minutes, said Velazquez, who bought the domain for an entire year. He shared what he had done on Twitter, writing, 'Rudy didn’t separate g-20 from .in so ya boy bought the domain.' 'I wanted something . . . bold,” he said. 'Certainly, something that [Giuliani] would not want to be linked from his tweet.' At most, Velazquez thought his stunt would get a 'few hundred retweets' and then be absorbed into the Twittersphere, but by early Wednesday morning, Giuliani’s tweet containing the link had about 45,000 likes and nearly 17,000 retweets." The Washington Post also points out in another article that Giuliani is Trump's cybersecutiry advisor, and suggests he take a refresher course. Excerpt: "Unsurprisingly, a lot of people are making fun of Giuliani on Twitter. His error is an elementary one for someone who is charged with advising the president on cybersecurity issues, and who presumably charges private clients large amounts of money for his cybersecurity expertise. Republicans are gearing up to renew their claims that Twitter, Facebook, Google and other services are biased against conservatives. Their political opponents very likely will use Giuliani’s mistake to try to undermine these accusations on the Hill. Still, it isn’t all that surprising that Giuliani fumbled the claim. The higher levels of U.S. politics notoriously have plenty of aging men who do not understand technology very well, even while they have enormous power to shape it."
It remains to be seen whether Velazquez will maintain the website himself or sell it. I assume that it is worth more than $6:00 at present.

Bush Sr.'s brand of conservatism paved the way for Trump — here's the real reason right-wingers hates hearing it
DONALD Trump was caught saying “get me out of here” as he strolled off stage at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, leaving the Argentinian President Mauricio Macri stood on his own. The Republican firebrand was supposed to pose for a picture with Mr Macri and other world leaders but walked off the stage. Hilarious footage shows Mr Trump shaking hands with the Argentinian President before he wandered off. Mr Macri looked sheepish and perplexed after President Trump deserted him.

Trump Greets Argentinian President Mauricio Macri, Promptly Walks Off Stage
In video captured during this weekend’s summit in Argentina, Trump is seen strolling up to Argentinian President Mauricio Macri, shaking his hand briefly, then wandering away.
Macri can be seen gesturing for Trump to return before an aide chased after the U.S. president to get his attention. Both presidents were scheduled to take photos together with other world leaders, according to The Guardian.
As Splinter News points out, this is not Trump’s first time walking away aimlessly; nor is it his second, nor his third.
