Trump administration says it's not pursuing strategy to push Syrian Pres. Bashar Assad out of power

Hard to understate the significance of this. Russia and Iran challenged the US in Syria, and the US backed down...

Thanks for new thread Across

Fox News has uncovered intel that someone high up says he was spied on

That's just him, isn't it? He says he's been spied on.

BiglyBadgers · 02/04/2017 10:17

It's kind of funny that winning it all in 2016 could lead to the collapse of the Republican Party, more than of the Democrats.

A clear case of being careful what you wish for Grin

Trump administration says it's not pursuing strategy to push Syrian Pres. Bashar Assad out of power

I think the UK view is that Assad should be removed from power, so this now puts the USA at odds with the UK. I imagine it is not going to go down very well over here

Sandy Hook residents beg Trump to help them stop conspiracy theories that the carnage was an elaborately staged hoax

It is amazing how a party/candidate can be so against helping people and still be voted in.

Destinysdaughter · 02/04/2017 10:50

Haha this is funny!

Lweji · 02/04/2017 10:53

Dirty Russian money has flowed to Trump since the 80s–he calls himself smart–he knew what strings were attached

I don't think that works as an argument to say that he understood the strings.
However, it is something that will bite him in the arse, as how will he ever claim he wasn't smart enough to understand what was at stake?

If you are in the US, perhaps you'll want to join the Coffee Party Movement

"Incite civility and reason" Grin

They claim to be transpartisan.

Roussette · 02/04/2017 12:03

Destiny... well we do know from his nude portrait, he only has a mushroom so that cartoon is very apt! I'd link the pic again but it reduced posters to nausea and I don't want to do that again!

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 02/04/2017 12:10

I love the Coffee Party's raison d'être. Grin

cozietoesie · 02/04/2017 12:20

Thanks, Roussette. Very thoughtful. Grin

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 02/04/2017 12:45

Don't know if anyone's posted this yet. (It says breaking but the article was published two days ago):

Malcolm Nance‏ @MalcolmNance

BREAKING: There it is. Flynn poss caught in FSB honeypot w/female Russian Intel asset. Nance's Law dude!

cozietoesie · 02/04/2017 13:40

I don't think it's been posted before, Pain - but you're right to be cautious. I've just noticed, for example, a whole load of websites carrying virtually the same (uncomplimentary) stories about Alexei Navalny. I mean nearly word for word. Who can tell, eh?

woman12345 · 02/04/2017 13:43

De lurking to post that on BBC Parliament now, really good CSPAN interview with Nelson Rockerfeller's relation Dave Spencer on role of moderates in GOP, in the past and now.

cozietoesie · 02/04/2017 13:49

Thanks. I'll have a look for it.

There is always this seeming perception that the Republicans are right wing hawks and the Democrats are left wing doves. Mistake. I wonder if he'll touch on that?

HelsinkiLights · 02/04/2017 13:49

Rosette the Mark Cuban article appears spot on.

woman12345 · 02/04/2017 13:50

AndFlowers for the thread. Coffee party for me Lweji.

woman12345 · 02/04/2017 13:53

cozietoesie They showed this clip of 1964 GOP congress with Nelson Rockerfeller warning of right wing extremism. His speech is relevant now, in US and for sure in Britain.

MicrowaveSpy · 02/04/2017 13:53

Listening to Sandyhook on R4

There are vile people out there

Alex Jones being the king Angry

cozietoesie · 02/04/2017 14:03

What I saw of that interview was very good. I'll try to catch the whole thing.
