Great articles, Bigly and woman. My only concern is that neither touch directly on China's position. (Then neither does 45, really.)

Bigly, not only does that not surprise me about the USB sticks on sale in Kabul, but did you know about e-cigs?

The ones that can be recharged by sticking the USB charger into... your computer?

All USB ports are data-ports as well as power-ports. So it's absolutely not a surprise that a nation famous for (a) manufacture of cheap electronics and (b) the massive scale of its cyber warfare has found a way to combine the two.

Despite the sceptical comments below that article, someone I know in a large IT firm has actually been warned by their security department about this risk - they consider it very real.

Recusal is resignation in all but the word.

Should have named the nation as China, for those who don't click through.

3rd time lucky

I hereby demand a second investigation, after Schumer, of Pelosi for her close ties to Russia, and lying about it.

Apparently she was asked if she had had ever met with the Russian Ambassador. She said no.

In 2010, the Russian President was in town and there was a meeting with the President and congressional leaders. Nancy Pelosi was there as were many other leaders. The Russian ambassador was there as well.

If you are part of a big group and you meet up with others from a big group, would you say yes or no when asked if you had met with the Russian ambassador?

Remember how the wrong envelope was given because the person was distracted by tweeting?

Now imagine how Trump could be distracted whilst tweeting?

I think I've give a 'qualified Yes', ami. The big difference here is - is the person you're asking a shining example of ethical and truthful conduct? Recusal from such a person might be seen as an admirable thing. Otherwise? Not so.

CaveMum · 03/03/2017 21:17

Don't know if anyone else on here is a fan of the TV show Supernatural, but I've just caught up on last week's episode.

The plot: the Devil possesses the President of the USA.

Just sayin', it would explain a lot Wink

amispartacus · 03/03/2017 21:18

Have you met with the Russian Ambassador?

Define meeting? I remember being at an event where the ambassador was present. But we didn't discuss things together..

Words, definitions, ambiguity.

Clinton was the same. Bill Clinton. Look at how he talked about Monica Lewinsky.

Thinking about it, did a recent Presidential prospect (someone regarded as a supremely ethical man) not withdraw from nomination solely because of potential perceived conflicts? No comeback for him on that.

Cave Grin Although even in my nightmares, I expect a super villain to be clever enough to spell correctly. Hmm

Lweji · 03/03/2017 21:20

We should start an immediate investigation into @SenSchumer and his ties to Russia and Putin. A total hypocrite!

Even if Schumer had ties with Russia, he's not the President of the USA, who's not divested from his businesses and advocates stopping sanctions and refuses to investigate any interference by Russia in the US elections.

We must fix our education system for our kids to Make America Great Again. Wonderful day at Saint Andrew in Orlando.

I haven't heard him mention how much more money is going into schools. It must be great having an unlimited pot of money - or to run a HUGE deficit.

Shame that UK schools seem to be having real budget cuts.
