We always used to talk about Dan Quail

He was a game old bird though, wasn’t he?

👏🏻

Maybe the plan to Make America Great Again is to give everyone a go at a Whitehouse job?

Lots to choose from – football manager, gamekeeper, QC, gentleman’s tailor…

Worth a listen if you have a chance

Some great analysis and discussion going on there (might not be suitable for right wing snowflakes due to high truth, honesty and questioning)

Sacking your Secretary of State via Twitter has to be a new low in US Politics. 🙂

Who in their right mind would want to work with this coward?

Looking like the Democrats may well have taken a Congress seat in a district won by 20 points by Trump in 2016…you have to wonder at what point self-preservation will kick in for the remaining GOP congressmen and women. Do you cravenly stand by your unhinged POTUS and lose your seat?

New low? time for another one going from +20 to losing in a safe seat….

Time to blame the candidate, blame the press, blame the weather

Republican sway over the district is so strong that Democrats have run no candidates in the previous two votes.

The contest could set the tone for November’s US mid-term polls.

Republican House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan called the race a “wakeup call” for the party.

Still waiting for the official result but it looks blue

ninfan? Care to?

It’ll just be another snide comment about lefty libtards or some such bollocks.

Do you cravenly stand by your unhinged POTUS and lose your seat?

A record number are planning to stand down at or before the midterms, which is a headache for the Reps

while the Dems are on a roll at the moment, who knows what that orange shitgibbon will do before november, his base are still holding in there,

Lol always love the base comments… It’s not enough to get elected

A bunch if people who voted for him just voted blue a kicking in the mid terms would be a disaster for him especially as the Senate committee is still hearing testimony (the witness list keeps getting longer) I’d expect the line to emerge as the nk talks go bad is any president could have got a meeting they just didn’t want one.

Think it was on a 538 podcast where they asked the question would you like 2hrs with trump on a truth serum or 10mins with each of his cabinet on the same. Conclusion was trump can’t remember what is truth or lie so it wouldn’t work. And sessions telling the truth would be fun.

Lol always love the base comments… It’s not enough to get elected

unless the other candidate is shit/ has been monstered by your chum in Moscow & the dems dont bother to vote again

That isn’t his base, take a look at the strongly approve numbers they are mostly a subset of republicans anyway. Problem is the reps hate tariffs,  he has betrayed both sides on daca alienated people and not delivered much. His first hurdle is mid terms, after that it’s the fbi and Senate intelligence, then I to the primaries for 2020.

Tillerson was also one of the last grown ups in the room too, a final non conforming voice has been booted so expect more trump and less moderation aka shit and fan panics.

Much as I dislike James Corden, this is nicely done..

Oooh.  2 hours with Trump on a truth serum  or 10 minutes with Corden on fire?

Difficult.

The man just makes stuff up, and brags about it!

That’s not really news is it though?,  every time trump opens his mouth lies pour out.

Looking like H R McMaster to go next.

That’s not really news is it though?,

Its unusual for him to admit to it.

This is amazing- thanks Infowars

The real crazy, of course, is in the comments

So he fires the head of the FBI, 2 days before he as due to retire anyway, thus depriving him of a full pension.  That seems a bit a shitty move.

“Obviously the president was lying joking”

  So he fires the head of the FBI, 2 days before he as due to retire anyway, thus depriving him of a full pension.  That seems a bit a shitty move.

It wasn’t Trump. There was an internal discipline hearing and he was fired for being corrupt. Half a million bribe via is wife from Clinton, lying and leaking. If he doesn’t end up in prison he’ll have got off very lightly.

Bribe? She was a democrat running for office … It’s one way to spin it.

He was fired by US Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who said an internal review found he leaked information and misled investigators

So fired by sessions, number 2 on the Russia collusion list. A man who lied under oath and had to remove himself from an investigation into himself. Not very transparent

The late Stephen Hawking on Donald Trump: “He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator.”

Pretty much covers it.

Senior FBI man testifies to House Intelligence Committee that he can back up James Comey’s testimony in what may yet be an obstruction of justice case. Sudden extra effort from Sessions to discredit that FBI man by shoving him out of the door and possibly stripping him of pension rights.

Seems tactically somewhat blatant and naive.

McCabe’s statement here.

It worries me that  folk will print  and possibly believe such blatant lies

Sessions said the review found McCabe allegedly “made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor” during a review of the FBI and justice department’s handling of an investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

The bribe claim is an outright lie, defamatory and something you could not uphold in a court of law. Its compete BS . With all the fringe  right the only real question is whether they know they are liars or whether they are as stupid as believe what they type

Ironcialy the statement went on to say

all FBI employees know that lacking candor under oath results in dismissal and that our integrity is our brand’”.

Sessions must be relieved he can hold people to a standard he cannot meet- I believe his defence was  he did not lie he just made “false statements”

It worries me that folk will print and possibly believe such blatant lies

It is quite amazing.

The weird thing about all of this is that if the FBI influenced the election at all it was in Trumps favour.

true the clinton e-mail scenario is  the single  biggest impact they had on the result and he still got fired by Trump.

The bribe claim is an outright lie, defamatory and something you could not uphold in a court of law.

One word:

“collusion”

The lefties are pretty keen to throw about all sorts of extraordinary allegations of wrongdoing by other people, but when the worm turns and the truth comes back to bite them in the arse immediately cry “show us the proof” (see Jezza’s defence of Russia this week as a prime example)

Donald’s just proved it again, they don’t like it up them.

YAWN

Remind me how many charges have been laid against people on the trump campaign? Did one of those people plead guilty? It appears more and more is coming true and being proved

You, jamba and 5th? You’re not doing a very good job.

Like “President Obama is a Kenyan Muslim”? Or “Hillary Clinton is at the heart of a secret sex abuse/murder conspiracy based out of a Washington DC pizza restaurant”?  That kind of extraordinary allegation? Or a different kind?

More collusion for ninfan:

Yep that  Brennan tweet is a doozy:

When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America…America will triumph over you. https://t.co/uKppoDbduj

Kind of pointless tweet. It’s far above Mr Trump’s reading age

A fascinating read in today’s Guardian with more detail about the role of Cambridge Analytica and its harvesting of FB Data/Russian links. Also relevant to the Brexit vote, given the amount that Leave invested in its services.

The weaponising of social media in democracy.

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/17/data-war-whistleblower-christopher-wylie-faceook-nix-bannon-trump

The GOP railed against Obama and the national debt while he was in office, and how Trump would get it down through fiscal responsibility; funny how quiet they are about the national debt now…

It’s ok, his nanny will read it to him at bedtime.

Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal both claim unprotected sex with Trump at about the same time – STI checks, anyone? About 9 months after provable unprotected sex with Melania. As for Ivanka, who knows?

Trump claims he’s a germaphobe? Yes, I know, bodily fluids don’t transmit germs.

Can’t wait for the vids of either or both.

Did Melania have the slightest clue about what she was getting into? Dumb? possibly; Naive? – probably.

Deceived? Yes. But soon to become v wealthy unless Don’s ‘wealth’ evaporates.

It must have been a bit sticky for the orange faced buffoon.
