The leak about the bomber’s name and then the photos of the detonator are likely to come from an old fashioned journalist’s “source”. Basically someone who’s prepared to spill info for some cash or the journo’s wife’s cousin’s husband type link.

Stenna stair lift for air force one in the foreseeable future?

It’s absolutely clear someone in the US Security services is leaking this Manchester bombing info to embarrass Trump. Disgraceful.

Even if this were true, it is a stark demonstration that the art of being a good politician is getting people on your side, rather than deliberately pissing everyone off!

Trump has made so many enemies in the few short months he’s been President that i don’t think he’ll actually achieve anything, because people he’s slagged off will vote against him even if they actually think his policies are right! 🙄

Maybe – but the fact that it’s happened again is the real issue.

After all, according to some on here, the US is better than everyone else at everything.

(Unless we consider this a sub-species of Friendly Fire, a field in which the buggers lead the world).

Historically low approval ratings, historically quickly.

Way to go, Donald.

Bigly.

Which I say with great surety.

Funny though – just a few days ago, the usual suspects were up in arms over Trump allegedly disclosing intelligence information to Russia that had been given to them by the Israelis

This morning? As soon as it looks like its nothing to do with Trump – Barely a peep…

You mean apart from all the discussion we just had about it??

Edit: ah you mean the Russian/Israel stuff – has there been evidence that this wasn’t leaked by Trump then? Missed that. Linky?

What are you actually on about Ninfan?

1 He hasn’t been ruled out as the source of the disclosure (he insists that he has the “right” to do such a thing);

2 What kind of “peep” would you expect?

Besides – as the sign on Pres. Truman’s desk in the Oval Office used to say “The Buck Stops Here“.

Executive responsibility – it kinda goes with the job…

so wait, let me get this straight; you’re criticising people for asking questions when it’s appropriate (Trump may have leaked info), and then also criticising the same group of people for not asking the same question when it’s not appropriate (it’s clear he had nothing to do with Manchester pictures)?

It’s back to the basic clutching of straws, if you have backed him this far then you can’t go admitting you are wrong.

The writing is getting put on the wall as we speak, support of his core is wavering, it’s looking likely that the special election is going tits up
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/montanas-special-election-could-give-the-gop-another-reason-to-fret/

The special election to fill Montana’s U.S. House seat took a weird turn on Wednesday night when the Republican candidate, Greg Gianforte, reportedly body-slammed Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs. An audio tape of the incident seemed to indicate that Gianforte snapped after Jacobs asked him about the Republican health care bill. What effect all this will have on today’s special election is … unclear. Suffice to say that we don’t have much precedent for election-eve body-slamming.

He has just been charged.
The thing that made him snap? Questions about the very toxic health bill.

We done the bit about the counting problems in the budget?

I totally agree that we should all wear that tiny red underwear coz the weather is hotter … 😛

Slightly out of the topic, why on earth are underwear so expensive when the material they use are very little? My underwear do not last me more than 6 months when they get hole from my tailbone. 😡

Did someone mention security leaks embarrassing Trump.

U.S. President Donald Trump told his Philippine counterpart that Washington has sent two nuclear submarines to waters off the Korean peninsula, the New York Times said, comments likely to raise questions about his handling of sensitive information.

and yes another classic in the help my argument is crap I need a distraction

..and uses crap to do it. is this v1.2 of the chewbot AS software

another classic in the help my argument is crap I need a distraction

Yeah I know, but I’ve long given up on expecting a coherent, rational or logical discussion with the chewbot. It’s just not that advanced.

Trump now thinks Brexit may be damaging, hes getting smarter, maybe

meanwhile popey wasnt having fun

But they are so alike..

Nobody is more humble than Donald Trump.
Mind you, nobody knew the Pope would be humble.

That’s so funny but lets see how the media is going to spin it … 😆

You should watch the face of the non-paying Nato members when told to pay up. 23 out of the 28 still not paying up … 😯

Aye- everyone who actually understands that stuff cringes whenever people start talking about “owing from past years” or wrongly claims that people aren’t meeting obligations.

Showing some of that famed humility 🙂 .

So I see Der Spiegel is reporting that Trump said: “The Germans are evil, very evil” in a meeting with EU leaders 😯

(or possibly “bad, very bad” depending on the translation).

Apparently he is upset at “the millions of cars they sell in the US”.

start talking about “owing from past years” or wrongly claims that people aren’t meeting obligations.

http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-nato-article-5-spending-2017-5
And as was pointed out the article 5 mutual defense clause was only ever used after 9-11 where a large number of European soldiers were killed following the US into Afghanistan.

It speaks volumes when trump can make the head of the Catholic Church look like a nice guy.

What on earth is the world coming To? (pun intended).

😆

Is that a mini Darth Vader stood behind them?

No, it’s a full size Darth Vader and they might be giants with a little birdhouse up the corridor behind the trumpet

Nah, buttplug.

If Trump is a giant then are his hands normal sized?

Nah, buttplug.

No, the buttplug’s IN FRONT of Vader
