I hope this is right. I fear it is wrong.
Specifically, I worry Team Trump's goal is to squeeze & bait Iran into walking away from the nuke deal or creating a military confrontation.

cozie ?? Confused

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 16:28

I can stop linking articles, if that's what you're getting at.

SafariSoGood · 10/02/2017 16:32

Please don't stop Ginger

Will read some articles now

I have too many windows open!

Formerpigwrestler9 · 10/02/2017 16:35

cock up or conspiracy, thats what I want to know!
is trump a useful idiot or just an idiot?

or is it that situations like this where some buffoon gets into a position of power just attract opportunists who start plotting to squeeze out as much personal gain as possible?

SanFranBear · 10/02/2017 16:35

Not sure if you've seen this piece - DeVos probably needs to rethink her tweets somewhat. My favourite (and most pointed) is the very first one in the list:

Formerpigwrestler9 · 10/02/2017 16:37

Ginger perhaps Cozie thinks you're in a time zone where it's the wee small hours and she's concerned that you need some shut eye?

FlyMeToTheMoonLiterally · 10/02/2017 16:39

I appreciate your links Ginger, I find you have a way of finding information that it is hard to get to, most people wouldn't know where to find. Thank you

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 16:41

Former perhaps. I'm in the UK, so late afternoon here. Grin My dcs would be most put out if I went to bed and didn't make tea.

I just hope you're not tweeting angrily whilst wearing a bathrobe GInger :o

AndHoldTheBun · 10/02/2017 16:44

I very much appreciate all the links Ginger. Smile

AndHoldTheBun · 10/02/2017 16:45

Sinister, love the pic!

cozietoesie · 10/02/2017 16:45

Not at all, Ginger. I didn't realise you were in the UK and was concerned you might not be getting some shut-eye.

I love your copies of things. Smile

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/02/2017 16:46

Another here who hugely appreciates your links, Ginger. I think cozie does too.

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/02/2017 16:46

By 51/23 margin, Trump voters say the Bowling Green Massacre shows why his Executive Order on immigration is needed

It's the Atlanta terrorist attack carried out by radical Islam that Spicer keep referring to that should be concerning...

Except it didn't happen.

I think that more poll should be done to show voters for what they are..

I recall talking once to an American acquaintance who told me that she'd voted for a particular President (this was some years ago, by the way) because he 'sounded cute'. This is not a 100 metre dash.

I hope.

amispartacus · 10/02/2017 16:53

The NYT tweet.

So the reporter wrote a story about Trump not speaking to Chinese President for ages.

Story goes to bed ready to be published.
Trump speaks to Chinese President.
Story published.
Trump calls it fake news because story says he hasn't spoken to President for ages - but they didn't know he'd spoken to Chinese President after story had been written.

Is that the timeline?

If so - a primary child could see the spin Trump was putting on that.

The picture I posted - someone posted it on the last thread so I just copied it and retweeted it.

It's a great image.

I wonder when the NYT will sue the President for slander? Can they do that?
