Sorry about the rubble and orphans

Well. Abe 'likes him' after all - his good buddy etc. Let's hope they were just being mean about Xi.

Shinzo puts down phone.
Head in hands for a minute
Calls Beijing 'you'll never guess who I've just been talking to. Uh huh. Yep. Wait til you hear what he's up to this time'
One can hope that grown ups are supervising ready to stdp in

A woman walks into a bar..

Trump- I'd do her

Cruz- I won't defend her

Pence- I want to take away her rights

Rubio- I agree with everyone

Trump hasn't actually been abroad yet has he?

No. US presidents don't travel that much. It's very expensive. And as he criticised Obama, he won't want to spend millions travelling...

abroad, because if it's in the US it's fine.

www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/09/no-peace-in-syria-until-assad-is-ousted-says-nikki-haley

So, they remove Assad, look all big and clever.....then Putin puts in a sop who will do as he's told.

Everyone gets what they want.

Various people were predicting this. Only if it's as success regime change in Iraq or Afghanistan then lord help us all

I really don't think they'll replace Assad for a while yet.
Putin remembers Afghanistan for both countries, I expect. And the current war suits many people.

Meanwhile, watch Trump on the O'Reilly factor. There's quite a lot of Trump in O'Reilly, I'd say.

Yes, SNL and the Baldwin are back!

I'll believe it when I see it. They flip flop on Assad daily. First they want him out then they say it's up to Syria, then they say a regime change is needed. No clear policy as they have no idea what to actually do.

Oooh.
They went for Trump voters this time. "All our rights and benefits gone, but you're great Mr Trump."
It's sad because it's true.

The Guardian

Kushner and Bannon agree to 'bury the hatchet' after White House peace talks

It's looking good for peace in the Middle East. Not.

Man Accidentally Shoots Himself at NRA HQ - to an old atheist like me looks suspiciously like proof of god #quandary t.co/4D9IAN5XNi

It's like Trump supporters. They still won't see the lesson to be learned.

And China vs USA.

America owes China $1tn. That’s a problem for Beijing, and Trump knows it
The leaders shared steak in Florida, but the stakes in trade talks are much higher for China, which would struggle to find a better export market

www.theguardian.com/business/2017/apr/09/us-owes-china-billion-dollars-problem-beijing-trump-knows?CMP=twt_gu

But closing down Chinese imports would rise prices in the USA.

Let's hope Trump is not as impetuous and ineffective in trade wars as he is with bomb ones.

I've just watched this on another thread re homeland (lweji posted) but it felt appropriate for this thread.

So I've 'appropriated' another post for this thread.

I had posted that on another Trump thread, which I confused with this. Thanks for bringing it in. :)

The Chinese President was forced to watch Trump's grandchildren sing in mandarin at high-stake meeting ind.pn/2nQGkOS

Sorry, but it's just painfully embarrassing for them to be trotting out Ivanka's children like this regularly. The children are cute, but this just isn't really appropriate IMO.

Trump's U.N. envoy says ouster of al-Assad is a priority of U.S. reut.rs/2oVbUgi

Of course, 2 days ago, they specifically stated it was NOT a priority.

That is just mean. Did he also show him his holiday photos?

Funny thing w/ the alt-right. Those Russian agents/loyalists in your midst—they’re selling you an anti-globalist, nationalist ideology (1/3)

Kate Starbird‏ @katestarbird
But they aren’t buying what they’re selling. (Kind of like Alex Jones and his nutritional supplements, I imagine). (2/3)

Kate Starbird‏ @katestarbird

Russia wants a new globalism with an Eastern core—they want the U.S. to turn inward, while Russia exerts its power around the world. (3/3)

WATCH: Ten years ago, Trump interviewed Ivanka and Don. You gotta watch this. Notice when Ivanka says "country" instead of "company."
