Yes, if I was a leader of another country, I'd rather go to the WH than Maralago. Seems offensive, somehow.

Rumours flying that something big is up. The WH is rushing things through quickly - Kushner being put in place as Prince of practically everything, and Ivanka moved into the WH. Something is up.

The hearings start today. Will it be 'real' or will it just be a 'show'? I honestly don't know.

But I'll be watching. I remember the Watergate hearings on TV. We need another Sam Ervin. He was a man of contradictions, but he was a bulldog during the hearings. A 'simple country lawyer'? Not.

I don't know. I suspect they are looking for a distraction, so may release something ... I wondered if Paul Ryan's head on the block (not literally) might not be enough?

Something is up.

There does seem to be a flurry doesn't there. Particularly around the military involvement. I still have a bad feeling he will try playing the war card when it starts getting close to impeachment territory, so am not surprised he is getting trigger happy on the bomb dropping. He wants someone to declare war or carry out a big terrorist attack on US soil. It could save his skin. He couldn't give a shit about the human cost. Angry

Bigly I thoroughly agree. If an outright war is declared, GOP will line up behind him. War makes money for the wealthy.

CaveMum · 30/03/2017 15:32

Only Congress can declare war I thought. Not that that small fact would stop Trump I suspect.

That has occurred to me, too. That, and the fact that a foreign war (generally speaking) is good for the US economy as it provides jobs via defense contracts. And via the draft.

Some scary shit.
