So what will be the subject of the distraction tweet? Jeff Sessions questioned in Mueller inquiry.

Draining the swamp

and now he has no problem talking to Muller under oath, with the obvious “if my legal guys are happy” get out clause

Troll of the month award goes to…

Currently watching his Davos speech. Unfeasible levels of narcissism and self grandiosity.

The world’s “least racist person” retweets racist material and when it’s pointed out to him then he claims ignorance (the most believable part) and merely considers apologising.

Can’t wait for Trump an Mueller to get it on.

BTW The under oath stuffs just Trump bs it’s a criminal offence to lie to the FBI, no need to be under oath.

Hes not really grasped the difference between a civil and a criminal case and has not done his homework.

In December 2001, Enron filed what was then the largest corporate bankruptcy in American history. Just weeks later, Mr. Mueller, then the F.B.I. director; Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson; and the assistant attorney general for the criminal division, Michael Chertoff, formed the Enron Task Force, an elite team of F.B.I. agents and federal prosecutors assigned to investigate and prosecute crimes related to the Houston-based energy trader. Andrew Weissmann, who recently joined Mr. Mueller’s Russia team, later led the task force.

I Wouldn’t want this lot going thru my business affairs.

Currently watching his Davos speech. Unfeasible levels of narcissism and self grandiosity.

Sounds just like Blair.

Anyone watching this?

Whats the point? Anything he does badly on he will just deny saying, the lovers will still live him and he gets one step closer to lying to the FBI.

Horrific, toadying, sycophantic shite…

Any second now I can see piers going down on his knees, and sucking Donald off…

He reckons he gets Fanmail from people in the UK.

Aye fanmail.

Dear Donald..

Even Blair didn’t blow his own trumpet the way Trump does !

Are people watching the piers Morgan thing?

He makes my skin crawl, im not sure I could watch him with the orange fucknugget

There is only one event I’d like to see live with piers and trump in a room together, maybe it could be set on a boat, titanic 2 watching them both try and push the other one off at the end would be fantastic

Watching the whole Jay Z/Trump thing really does nicely sum up the level of the debate.

Black unemployment rate looks like this:

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/money/dam/assets/180122103721-black-unemployment-780×439.jpg

Trump supporters blame Obama for the peak in 09/10, which clearly started in 2007 under Bush. Trump claims credit for the current record low level, the result of a steady fall which started in <2011>. Nobody seems to be able to a) look at or comprehend the numbers, b) understand cause comes before effect, c) remember there was a wee bit of a recession and maybe most importantly d) see that white unemployment is still 54% of white employment. It’s supposed to be a triump that black unemployment has fallen below 7%- when white unemployment rises above 7% it means the economy’s on its arse, it’s only happened for about 7 years out of the last 45 years.

And this all about the president having a scrap with a rapper.

I am the least racist person that anybodys going to meet.

Well I never knew Piers Morgan had won the US Apprentice and worked for Trump. Interesting interview tonight

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(U.S._season_7)

Celebrity Apprentice – based on the one the UK did for Comic Relief, strange how different some things sound with a key word missing 😉

A good interview. 🙂

Did they wear matching ties? Did they hug, who hugged longer, did he ask any difficult questions on policy or international relations or was it just a nicely scripted soundbite friendly love in?

Hard to see Piers doing anything to upset his special relationship.

It was hardly Frost Nixon but it was still a bit of a coup for Morgan. For years to come he’ll be able look back at the day he interviewed the President of the United States  and say ‘For 15 minutes I wasn’t the most odious man in the room.’

This is mint

“For years to come he’ll be able look back at the day he interviewed the President of the United States and say ‘For 15 minutes I wasn’t the most odious man in the room.’”
😆

So the memo is going to be released…

Should be an interesting few years.

Boom

Under the cover of his soothing rhetoric about unity and bipartisanship, Trump called on Congress to give him unprecedented and unquestionably antidemocratic powers: “Tonight,” he said, “I call on the congress to empower every Cabinet secretary with the authority to reward good workers—and to remove federal employees who undermine the public trust or fail the American people.”

By design, it is easy to overlook the true significance of the second half of that phrase. But dwell on it for a moment, and imagine what this would actually look like in practice. Under Trump’s proposal, any Cabinet secretary could decide that, say, a law enforcement official investigating the president had “undermined the public trust” or “failed the American people”—and fire him on the spot. In other words, Trump is calling for an end to any semblance of independence for the IRS, the FBI, the Department of Justice, or any other federal agency.

Boom!
“California congresswoman Maxine Waters, told MSNBC: “Why would I take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar”

Plus, of course, claiming that economic improvement that began under Obama is the result of his policies.

And of course it won’t take long for his new-found conciliation to drown in the spite of his childish vindictive tweeting as he continues to change his mind every five minutes.

Not quite sure what “Boom” is supposed to mean, other than some random word attached to a video of a liar saying things that were written for him.

Boom!

Not standing for the National Anthem is not a protest about Patriotism

I don’t think its mainstream enough news – no -one really cares about libor or policing banks.

Don’t bother reading(572 pages but page 1 sets the scene) but Its a real thing

Trump should at least get some credit! That’s like the the kid at school in your group who doesn’t help with the report but you let him colour in the front page.

Utterly humiliating for Melania, no wonder she wouldn’t enter the state of the union or go to davos with him.

The porn star he shagged just after the birth of Baron joking on chat show about the size of trump’s junk & denying the denial of it.

Also exposes the hypocrisy of his Christian right wing fanbase.

Wonder if Melanias pre-nup prohibits #MeToo tweets!?

<span style=”font-family: ‘PT Serif’, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;”>”Ultimately, the ethos of Obama’s economic outlook during his term seems to have been one of instilling a calm—if unspectacular—steadiness, one upon which new President Donald Trump can build. Indeed, it seems that the economy is the biggest gift that Obama has given Trump on leaving the Oval Office; despite his weak record on growth, Obama’s remarkable repair job on the economy means that Trump begins his tenure ideally positioned to bolster growth rates to historic average levels of around 3.3 percent”</span>

Love a good fact check, as usual a mix of exaggeration, taking credit for others work, vagueness and lies. Some of the words that will be used to describe the “Disgraced Former President” is years to come 🙂

Corporations are stepping up when government fails, could it be the time that the old corporate world is aligning itself with the right wing but it’s actual power is failing, the big new CEO’s don’t share the values of the Republican party
