Mid-terms looming, approval falling, prices rising, wars ongoing - Ping Ping and Fu Shuang must be wondering what heinous crime they committed to be banished chosen as envoys of friendship between China and USA. 🐼🐼

He really does have to meddle in absolutely everything. I'm amazed he's not declared that it has to be known as Trumptime now.

SSSHHHHHHH!!!!! Don't give him any ideas! It's bad enough that he (thinks he's) renamed the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.

Ahh, the joys of the cryptic TRUTH.

"Wednesday, October 7, 20264:02 PM Truth Social

Chris LaCivita and James Blair are outside consultants. They do not work for me, other than as outside consultants. They most likely have numerous clients, but for that, you would have to ask them. They are allowed to do work for others, just like all consultants in Washington, D.C. I do not have any idea who else they work for but will, on reflection, ask them and, if there's a conflict, I will terminate them, immediately! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Is this a new scandal of some sort. See what happens when one misses much the news for a couple of days.

Gotta say by the way, the Sky news website seems to have changed for me recently. Less stories now, and also, they are doing a lot more of the short videos, so I can see the headline but that's it. Because the vids are geo restricted.

Just a general grumble, because I want to READ the news, not watch it.

Re summer time and clock changing. When I lived in norther latitudes, made a big difference to my fishing. Heading off to fish off the rocks after work 3 or 4 times a week, got me about a months extra fishing over the year, I think.

Right. Off to find out who these folk are that Agent Orange is TRUTHING about.

Chris LaCivita and James Blair

Oh my goodness me.

“They have a lot of clients and it’s okay. I’m a client over there, they have a consulting firm I guess, separately, as all people in Washington do. That’s pretty common.” ( Agent Orange)

Let me rearrange the CNN article I linked below. And add a few wee bits from the web. This is how I often read news. If I wonder about any part, I look it up.

"Blair currently leads Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc., and has been tasked with heading up the president’s midterm elections strategy. LaCivita is a senior adviser at MAGA Inc." (CNN)

Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc. Lets have a look. "2025–26 cycle to date: $424.4 million raised; $415.8 million cash on hand (FEC filings through Aug. 31, 2026). Since 2025 MAGA Inc. files as a hybrid PAC under a new FEC committee (C00892471); the original super PAC committee terminated in May 2025."

"The single largest reported donor to MAGA Inc. in the 2024 cycle was Timothy Mellon, heir to the Mellon banking fortune, who gave roughly $150 million through mid-October 2024 alone — one of the largest individual political contributions ever disclosed."

Source for above -

Super PAC Profiles - SuperPACs.com

Who is this Timothy Mellon ? Grandson of a former sec of state, a recluse who has bought Wyoming, and an heir to a banking fortune. Also a full on Trumpster. Here is a bit of a bio.

Who Is Timothy Mellon, The Reclusive Wyoming Billionaire Who Gave $130M To Troops? | Cowboy State Daily

Back to CNN.

"According to the Times, Blair and LaCivita traveled to Republika Srpska, a territory in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ahead of elections there on Sunday. The trip came as polls show Republicans are facing severe electoral challenges in the United States." ( CNN).

"Blair and LaCivita “were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars each through a Washington-based law firm that was retained by Republika Srpska’s government to provide counsel on voting issues,” the Times reported." (CNN)

And apparently, the government there is PRO RUSSIA.

DRAIN THE SWAMP.... ha ha fucking ha.

This guy has the Nuke codes folks. And the folk he has working for him are also working for THE RUSSIANS.

This could be a big story. Especially for the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Is the sun over the yard arm yet ? Lets check the time zone map. Ahh. it is beer o clock in LA. Oh no. No beer in the house. Ahh well. Another instant coffee it is.

Chris LaCivita and James Blair

James Blair. I looked him up too.

"Blair, the White House deputy chief of staff, spent weeks plotting to crush a group of Republican lawmakers in Indiana who defied the president’s demands for a more favorable congressional map. He personally helped recruit and vet their primary opponents while designing a strategy intended to end their political careers."

That's from CNN, May 17 2026.

And he looks like Stephen Miller.

Yeah. Trump hardly knows him.

Time to get the notepad out and join the dots. right. Done the dots. Shit, it looks like frog spawn from a swamp. How to join all these dots ?

Aye, I know what you are all thinking. And I have done it for you. Attached is James Blair and Stephen Miller side by side. Bet there are no photos of them together. And I just noticed something. Don't they look just like Putin ?

Twilight zone vibes here. Or even Midwich Cuckoos. The women are from Stepford, the men are from Midwich.

Re my above posts. Check out the results of my research.

It's pretty obvious when it is laid out I think. Although I think Melania fits in too. Both " Big Melania" and "Mini me Melania".

I jest of course. But FFS, what a tangled fucking web Agent Orange is wrapped up in.

Sorry to swamp the thread. But just seen this.

Ok. Hmm... auto enrolment. Erm.

But this line if the bit I want to mention. What did you say Don?

"QUESTION 00:39:33-00:39:41 (8 SEC)
Have you spoken with Putin yet? Have you spoken with Vladimir Putin yet about the --"

"DONALD TRUMP 00:39:41-00:39:53 (12 SEC)

I have a call set up. Today is his birthday. Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate it. Are you going to celebrate his birthday? No, I have a call set up. I will be."

Happy birthday Vlad.

Quite an amazing transcript. He seems to only have "friendly" news there, and his sycophants. He is not holding back. More conspiracies than a Flat Earth Society meeting at the Cock Inn. or at the Bull Inn.

They could name it "The Melania Act".

He is such an arsehole. I do love the erection of "The Orange Turd Plague" (or "The King of Injustice") statue at the Strasbourg Parliament yesterday. I had to triple check to be sure it wasn't fake news when I first saw it and its title yesterday. So apt Grin. Kind of a double satire, if you see what I mean?

Peace Prize should go to Carney. Can you IMAGINE? Turd would be so apoplectic he'd explode on the spot.
Definitely a win-win. 🤯

If the Fart were to explode literally, rather than just mouthing off in an explosive way, that would definitely be a win for the world and incidentally for peace.

It would take the price of diesel down but the downside is an exponential effect on global warming.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 08/10/2026 15:31

The price of diesel being up may in a way be a good thing, if it makes people seek about for other, less environmentally-damaging fuels to use to transport things. But it is very hard on anyone who lives in the USA and depends on a car or truck to get to the shops, or has food delivered by van.

It will be recorded in history that no one man did as much for renewables as Donald Trump.

To the extent it's amusing his conspiraloon base haven't twigged.

Hoo boy, some tech company brand teams will be sweating right now!

This really has become just a power play.
