Re the donation of salary to the Parks Service, my (desperately unworthy, I know) suspicion is that they'll parlay that into the publicity for the Easter Egg Roll - a sort of 'El Presidente gives up his salary for the children' sort of thing. Wink

BiglyBadgers · 03/04/2017 21:18

I think i just be getting overly cynical in my old age cozie because i sort of figured that you couldn't get into power and then stay their for 2 terms without finding yourself involved in at least some sort of low level unpleasant dealings at some point. Even if it was just poor decision making that could be spun to look dirty. Clinton has been involved in politics for ever and the worst they could come up with on her was that someone who once spoke to someone in her campaign team had at some point seen a russian (that was pretty much it i think). I find myself increasingly impressed by the Obama administration team and not just in contrast to the Trump lot. As you say, they seem to have genuinly been amazingly uncorrupted. It gives me hope, it really does. Wink

cozietoesie · 03/04/2017 21:20

That's part of why he's so frightened of Obama, I reckon.

BiglyBadgers · 03/04/2017 21:25

I think you are right cozie. When you are up to your eyeballs in shit i imagine you assume everyone else is too. It must be terrifying to realise that the previous government, who you had shouted about being a filthy swamp, really is not dirty at all and all their digging only serves to demonstrate just how currupt trump is in comparison. It also explains why Obama is just swanning about looking rather pleased with himself. There is nothing quite as relaxing as having a clear conscience. Grin

Trump will be fine. The world will be fine.

Why you are all getting so excited and worried is beyond me. We have Theresa May trundling us all into the abyss after all.

saffronwblue · 03/04/2017 22:08

That is an alarming article about the Baltics. I imagine there willl be further interior crackdown in Russia as a response to the subway explosion, too.
Then there is North Korea. It all feels a bit hell in a handbasketish.

cozietoesie · 03/04/2017 22:11

Ah Yes. North Korea.

Marcipex · 03/04/2017 22:39

Havana, too true.

cozietoesie · 03/04/2017 22:48

Not at all true, Marcipex. You're prepared to ignore a major world leader who gives comfort to someone who denies that Sandy Hook even happened?

Havanaclub · 03/04/2017 22:53

When nothing was done regarding gun control after Sandy Hook, I just gave up all hope regarding the ole USA quite frankly,

cozietoesie · 03/04/2017 22:57

Never give up hope. We are all desperately interconnected. The world is really very small now.

Marcipex · 03/04/2017 23:23

Sorry cozie, I only meant too true Teresa May is trundling us all into the abyss.

GingerIvy · 03/04/2017 23:49

Well, some of us are Americans (although living in the UK) and what happens with Trump affects us (and our family and friends). We even get the questionable jollies of getting to worry about Brexit as well. Lucky us.

1- Erik Prince pre-inauguration meeting w/Russia again shows needless & detrimental action by Trump admin www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/blackwater-founder-held-secret-seychelles-meeting-to-establish-trump-putin-back-channel/2017/04/03/95908a08-1648-11e7-ada0-1489b735b3a3_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.1997eb4ac258

2- Prince meeting w/Russia appears along side zealous Flynn - NO reason to rush these things before inauguration, can only undermine mandate

3- everytime I give Trump admin benefit of doubt on collusion w/ Russia a secret meeting arises where shady characters do non-official biz

4- why rush the Russia issue when Trump is already under scrutiny, answer is Flynn and obsession with Iran

5- now have Prince, an agent behalf of many countries doing US gov relations with a country that just influenced the election in Trump favor

6- Prince backdoor meeting comes before Mattis & other responsible adults are even on board, its DANGEROUS, executors not informed on policy

7- all of this could have waited until post inauguration, when coordinated through deliberate policy development process inclusive of adults
