US Election & Presidency

A repellent bit of business, agreed

In a different department, someone's got it in for Tillerson:

Quote:Major Trump fundraiser and UAE-linked businessman Elliott Broidy met US President Donald Trump in October 2017 and urged him to sack Mr Tillerson, the emails reveal.
In other emails, he calls the top US diplomat "a tower of Jello", "weak" and says he "needs to be slammed".
Mr Broidy says Qatar hacked his emails.
He said some of the emails "may have been altered" but did not elaborate.

As Tillerson seems one of the better members of Trump's team (which I accept is a relative assessment), and the Middle East is not being well held by Trump so far, then it seems this had better be a storm in a beer mug rather than an indication of the ugly underneath of the iceberg.

According to research carried out by a former MI6 spy, Russia vetoed Romney being made Sec of State and installed Rex Tillerson instead. Romney called Russia America's greatest threat during his 2012 campaign and Tillerson is a friend of Putin's with business links going back years so it makes sense. Christopher Steele the spy in question was hired privately by Trump's opponents to do some dirt digging so no doubt people will flag this up as evidence it is all fake however he has met with Robert Mueller's team so it will be up to him to decipher whether or not it is legitimate we will have to sit tight on it

Either way he has managed to piss off both Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, I can only imagine that Christopher Steele will be getting a cup of tea from Vlad sometime in the near future

Well, I'd sooner trust Tillerson than Romney...

...and I'd sooner trust Romney than Christopher Steele...

Looks like Boris is nixing England winning the World Cup because of this latest extremely convenient "poison" fiasco

I'll trust an MI6 agent on matters of surveillance before I trust Mitt Romney on anything

The headline I saw from Boris was "I'll bring Russia to heel", no you won't

Be interesting Trump signing the steel tariff thing this afternoon there are apparently some exemptions be interesting if he doesnt do the UK and puts tariffs on the EU

Hilarious moment when trump goes to a steel worker your father will be up above proud of you and the steel worker goes he is still alive

Interesting article about how Stormy Daniels trying to nullify the NDA she signed could put Trump & his lawyer in trouble

Stormy Daniels

Apparently Gary Cohen was going to resign when Trump said that there were many fine people on both sides after Charlottesvile but stayed on

So validating people that are carrying Swastikas, chanting blood and soil Jews will not replace us and a terrorist murdering an innocent woman is bad but not as bad as undermining a Conservatives precious free market

Not that i am surprised the core of the Right Wing ideology is Money > Life
