Netanyahu quotes the title of the Trump book 'Art of the Deal', which everyone now knows tells you as much about Trump's business abilities as the carefully edited Apprentice.

I don't think anybody believes Trump or Netanyahu will bring peace to the Middle East. Trump may be completely out of his depth, but I wonder what everyone else thinks they will achieve.

Sorry for two-post: affectionate!headbutts from the ZebraCats are lovely, of course, but when posting from a phone can lead to Posting Too Soon. For once it wasn't partway through a word though. Small things...

The whole problem with impeaching Trump because he is a lying fuckwit is that he got voted in because he was a lying fuckwit.

I have some genuinely good news about trump being president!
It's pissed me off so much that today i stood up to the kids smoking weed at the playground so the tinies couldn't play and got them to move on.
Would never have done that before.
All hail trump.

After Michael Flynn’s Resignation, Surveillance Defenders Suddenly Care About Wiretap Abuse

The problem with their concern about "a regular American citizen's phone being listened in to" is this.

  1. They weren't listening to HIS calls. They were monitoring the Russian communication.
  1. First they whinge that he's allowed to make the calls due to his job in the government, so it's work related, which they are fully allowed to record. Then they whinge that he's a private citizen so they can't record it.

Either way, he's wrong.
