welshbairn Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Anything short of kicking off a global thermonuclear war will be seen as a great victory for Trump in his Grand Tour of the monotheistic religions and global elites. He's supposed to be making a speech about the nature of Islam to 50 leaders of of the muslim world ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DI Bruce Robertson Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Article here about Comey and Trump's personal relationship. It would be quite funny if Trump was not trying to obstruct but the lack of a hug really offended him enough to fire him. Mr. Wittes said that Mr. Comey told him that he initially did not want to go to the meeting because the F.B.I. director should not have too close a relationship with the White House. But Mr. Comey went because he wanted to represent the bureau. The ceremony occurred in the Blue Room of the White House, where many senior law enforcement officials — including the Secret Service director — had gathered. Mr. Comey — who is 6 feet 8 inches tall and was wearing a dark blue suit that day – told Mr. Wittes that he tried to blend in with the blue curtains in the back of the room, in the hopes that Mr. Trump would not spot him and call him out. “He thought he had gotten through and not been noticed or singled out and that he was going to get away without an individual interaction,” Mr. Wittes said Mr. Comey told him. But Mr. Trump spotted Mr. Comey and called him out. “Oh and there’s Jim,” Mr. Trump said. “He’s become more famous than me.” With an abashed look on his face, Mr. Comey walked up to Mr. Trump. “Comey said that as he was walking across the room he was determined that there wasn’t going to be a hug,” Mr. Wittes said. “It was bad enough there was going to be a handshake. And Comey has long arms so Comey said he pre-emptively reached out for a handshake and grabbed the president’s hand. But Trump pulled him into an embrace and Comey didn’t reciprocate. If you look at the video, it’s one person shaking hands and another hugging.” Sounds like my sex life tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) American politics seems like Airplane! goes to Washington at the moment. The worrying thing is that Trump still has 35-40% popularity, and 80-85% republican support. The next week is going to be addictive viewing as he travels around the world's biggest snowflakes, blagging it.

mjw Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 a President can't leak information! He can declassify anything but he should be doing it after consulting with others who have a bit of a clue about world events. Bragging to the Russians about an Israeli agent within isis at a meeting where he has banned the American press and invited a suspected Russian spy deserves an hysterical reaction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Who mentioned 'traitors' It should definitely be Trump or someone he picks to advise him that should think inviting the guy at the centre of getting Mike Flynn fired might be a bad idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Some of the Reporting is hysterical, stuff about accusing Trump of "leaking information" a President can't leak information! And the BBCs mantra of a Tory revival in Scotland, offt Actually, a president can leak information. Declassification does not mean he can just run his mouth off. It has got to the point that Trump hasn't received a security briefing in a week because everything he is told to keep quiet on ends up in the hands of the Russian intelligence services. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
