Phew. I was worried it was (the artist formerly known as ) Prince. In my defence, the musician was on TV last night on the ye olde music channel. So was Ultraxvox and Duran Duran...

cozietoesie · 05/04/2017 19:39

I've been trying to think of convincing ways in which this demotion from the NSC might not be .......bad news for Bannon.

I couldn't think of one. Smile

Trump conveniently glossing over the fact that Reps voted down Obama wanting action about Syria in 2013.

Have a feeling Bannon is in deep shit and they're now doing a Manafort and reducing his role to a 'temporary advisor'

“I now have responsibility, and I will have that responsibility and carry it very proudly,” he said. “I will tell you that. It is now my responsibility.”

I'm really looking forward to that bigly tremendous plan. I imagine it will be as awesome as Trumpcare.

Did anything ever happen about Trump 's plans to defeat ISIS in 30 days?

I noticed that Cohn, Powell, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner were all huddled together after the presser today.

(apparently Kushner is back now)

Hey now! Yes, Trump said he'd 'defeat ISIS in 30 days'. He just didn't say exactly when that 30 days would start.

Sooo, I guess it hasn't started yet?

Bloody met Adam Khan is on it.

The thing that's bothering me is that this whole thing will undermine the very core of how the free trading west operates. The dodgy dealings from top dogs from business billionaires to energy barons to Rupert Murdoch to the mafia. It's exposing the sheer brazen criminality of it all.....scary.

Director of GCHQ:

"We have been watching Russian cyber activity since the mid 1990s," GCHQ's outgoing director, Robert Hannigan, tells the BBC. "The scale has changed. They've invested a lot of money and people in offensive cyber behaviour and critically they've decided to do reckless and interfering things in European countries."
...
"Terrorism sits alongside cyber threats on the agenda. So-called Islamic State - or ISIL - has proved adept at exploiting the power of the internet.
"It's one of their most important assets. As they are defeated on the ground, the 'online Caliphate' will become more important. They will continue to try to use the media to crowd-source terrorism to get people around the world to go and commit acts of violence on their behalf. There are things we can do to contest ISIL in this media space, but it's not just for governments to do operations online. It's for the companies and for the rest of media and society to have the will to drive this material off the internet."
