It's like they have no idea what this looks like
The government-run Bahrain News Agency featured a photo of Mr. Giuliani meeting in a royal palace with King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa. The story said the king discussed “Bahraini-U. S. relations” with Mr. Giuliani, who was described as leading a “high-level U.S. delegation.”
But Mr. Giuliani was not in Bahrain, a country with a record of human rights abuses, on official business. He was there to seek a lucrative security consulting contract with the government.
The trip was part of a concerted push Mr. Giuliani has undertaken in the last few weeks to win business from governments around the world — including in Africa and South America — for a firm he owns called Giuliani Security and Safety.
another one bites the dust and the new chief of staff doesn't have a very high opinion of his new boss
How much longer does Individual-1 have?

At the beginning of 2018, I promised my kids that he’d be out of office by the end of January 2019.
As autumn approached I had to concede that that prediction looked unlikely.
I am now actually quite hopeful that if anything he could be out of office and even in cuffs by the end of Jan.
He really seems to be getting rattled:

"one-sided coverage... should be tested in courts"
They should probably consider having some kind of amendment to protect free speech.
How far will he spit the dummy?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46611178
Not how far but how loud, there will be bluster and noise then some waving and then some distance while he throws somebody else under the bus.
Look like Drumpf may be prosecuted and/or impeached for conspiracy. What interesting times.
The Forbes cookie thing is a tad intrusive and slow.
Special relationship?

I wonder if putin knows Trumps in trouble & wants some 'favours' done b4 hes impeached?
It is Christmas though, time for some gifts
Yeah in the middle of a funding crisis, Chuck and Nancy managed to pin the term Trumps Shutdown on him live on TV 😉 Now he plans to go through with it, going to really help his popularity
Mattis (Defence Sec) goes too. Link
In his resignation letter, Gen Mattis described his views on "treating allies with respect" and using "all the tools of American power to provide for the common defence".
"Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defence whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down," Gen Mattis wrote.
Nice
Donald Trump is halving the troop numbers if Afghanistan now and replacing them with his mates in Blackwater.
Mattis has resigned stating that you can't rely on private contractors for national security.
Bet the ERG would hate Mattis, Blackwater is a 21st Century East India Company.
Yayyy for draining the swamp of all those neoliberal elites.
Mattis's letter is fantastic. Dear Trump, I feel that my role as The Only Sane One is incompatible with your goals.
Is seems that #TrumpResign is trending on twitter.
If he did it would make every ones Christmas.
The ever growing danger is that there is pretty much no-one sensible left to question him so he will be left to his own madness even more. Friendly dictator plan is working out well.
Seasons Greetings.
Individual-1 is twisting and turning like a twisty turny thing...

I'm a bit confused about this US gov shutdown thing. Trumpy wants money for his wall. But weren't the Mexicans going to pay for that? I seem to remember someone assuring us that that would be the case?
Yeah, I think it's just a loan really, they will pay once it's built. Anyway what you think you know is so obviously #fakenews that you must clearly be an idiot to believe what you think you might have heard. The only real facts are the last 3 words that have left his mouth, anything beyond that and he could contradict himself. It's a tough one to keep up with really.

Obviously just like any building work it must be a staged payment contract, the Mexicans will probably make a payment when the plasterboard starts going in.

We've already had the 1st Fix though. That happened in late 2016. Trump must be due a payment soon, surely?

You're not the only one asking that question;
You would think he would have some experience in being caught in a lie by now.
They seem to have pinned this one on him for now.
And another Christmas gift for the president

Looks like it’s going to be a happy Christmas for all those government workers who will have to work without pay now Individual-1 has had his way on the shutdown. There are lots of them:

Just wait until the Dems control Congress & they can start investigating his multitude of dodgy business dealings.
He's going to be throwing these kind of tantrums all over the place !
What kind of leader black mails his own country for a colossal vanity project?
Hmmm Donald Joffrey Trump.
The end is nigh?

That’s a trick question, right?
He’s gone too far now. He’s actually broken Christmas, the muppet!

Wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to take credit for being Santa...
Nah - he'll be too busy claiming credit for this... https://news.sky.com/story/us-stocks-plunge-as-donald-trump-likens-federal-reserve-to-bad-golfer-11591076
Maybe not 🙂
Bigly successful businessman that he is...
The Trump santa just takes the poor children away and gives more presents to the rich ones.
It's almost incomprehensible how bad a person Trump is.
Have a listen to the Dollop podcast about him and his family, it's a hell of an eye opener!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1077255770725601280
Is anyone else imagining a 2018 reboot of 'Home Alone' where Trump is left all alone in the Whitehouse at Christmas and has to devise a variety of ingenious mechanical traps to stop Robert Mueller and Nancy Pelosi from getting in?
So even his family don't want to spend time with him. Nice
Nice
The word he’d use is “SAD!”
Seems that Cadet BoneSpurs got his exemption diagnosis from a doctor who lived in an apartment rented from dTrump’s father, Fred, and knew him quite well...

This will come to a shock to the three people who believed his exemption was genuine.
