Wait till he goes 'Indepedent', Across. You'll be in the loo almost full time!

Bwahahahahaha, cozie. As a person with Coeliac Disease, I'm best friends with my loo and it's well stocked with reading material, and my iPad is loaded with games and the MN app. I guess you could call me a 'loo-prepper'.

It's getting more and more blatant, isn't it, Ginger?

If I lived in AL, I'd be rounding up people to drive residents of those counties to the nearest DMV!!!

Welcome back to #trumprussia

GingerIvy · 10/04/2017 19:49

It's so unbelievably open and blatant. It's scary.

StatisticallyChallenged · 10/04/2017 19:52

20% my arse
Maybe if they define "operational" as sitting on the tarmac, fully fuelled, with a pilot on site? Then maybe they got 20%

Orlantina · 10/04/2017 19:54

I wonder what Russia has to say on the operational capability of the Syrian air force?

Of course, we all know Spicer tells the truth.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senior U.S. official says U.S. has concluded that Russia knew in advance of Syria's chemical weapons attack last week.

MrsT2007 · 10/04/2017 20:32

I bet they did.

Orlantina · 10/04/2017 20:37

Senior U.S. official says U.S. has concluded that Russia knew in advance of Syria's chemical weapons attack last week

I wonder if they correctly predicted Trump's reaction?

  1. When you've lost Michael Savage…

Syria attack was meant to quell Trump–Russia/Putin collusion theories, but it changes little–heres why twitter.com/kfile/status/851488102086574080

  1. As I've noted, concept of regime change in Syria dates back to a 2001 Pentagon plan–Bush was arming opposition twitter.com/funder/status/851235067821162496
  1. Trump Jr flew to Paris one month before election to discuss replacing Assad with another Putin pawn–Randa Kassis twitter.com/khanoisseur/status/836783817151012864
  1. Syrian "opposition leader" Kassis is a good friend of Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, with whom Tillerson will meet shortly pic.twitter.com/G53gID1J5K
  1. Trump's son was brought in to meet Kassis for a reason: She is pro-Assad, and is being actively groomed by Russia as Assad's replacement pic.twitter.com/eOjGQJoj8I
  1. So the big question: Did Russians stage Idlib chemical attack to (a) Boost Trump (b) Trigger Assad's transition twitter.com/khanoisseur/status/850196966088753152
  1. If Russians were operating at airbase that was used in the chemical attacks, were they also complicit in attacks? twitter.com/khanoisseur/status/850523964912746496
  1. Trump/Tillerson get to flex their muscles, Assad out, Kassis–or a Kremlin-approved replacement–in? That the game? twitter.com/khanoisseur/status/851520469748535296
  1. "Trump bombed Syria to distract from polls/Russia investigation" the new "Clinton bombed Iraq, Yugoslavia to distract from Lewinsky"? pic.twitter.com/ewcFFNjdVV

Re your first links, Ginger. Scrutinise the text.

MrsT2007 · 10/04/2017 21:46

It's all over now that the Russians knew in advance.

And spicer just called Russia 'an ally'

Gulp.

GingerIvy · 10/04/2017 21:47

which ones?

Birdsbeesandtrees · 10/04/2017 21:51

I'm still worried about the Chinese troops along the NK border.

cozietoesie · 10/04/2017 21:52

The ones detailing the 'precognition'. AP is pretty reliable so if it came out under their banner...... I think that the tweet paints things as being much more definite than AP were told, though.

And by whom.

cozietoesie · 10/04/2017 21:59

Indeed, Birds. Medical and backup troops apparently?

Guess that the weekend meeting wasn't as fulsome as 45 appeared to think?

Birdsbeesandtrees · 10/04/2017 22:03

Either that or they have come to an "agreement" ablut what to do.

Not sure as I buy that though.

Do you think, in the situations where the shit really might hit the fan people are aware of it and just hoping it will all come out right ? Like this ? That we are all hoping it will quietly go away after some chest beating ? And if it doesn't ..Sad

cozietoesie · 10/04/2017 22:05

People are in denial, from my (limited) conversations with them.
