Word on the street is the Feds are talking to this guy. He's probably under a lot of stress just about now. www.google.com/amp/insider.foxnews.com/amp/article/52535

Sooo, let me get this straight. The election is over, so no one should bring it up again (tax returns). Unless he wants to bring it up again, then it's fine (Electoral votes). Ok then, righty-o!!

On another front;
Rumour: WH arrests expected next week in #Russiagate Scandal.
McMaster; "N Korea coming to a head. All options on the table".

This is a 'distraction strategy' that may just get a lot of innocent people killed. This is not 'Look, a fish!', it's 'Look, a starving man-eating Great White Shark'. And it's REAL!!!

It's looking more and more like a fairy tale.

The mad, bad king who loved gold so much that he gold plated his lift, his house (and renamed it the Gold House), his carriage (like queenies), his shoe, his own backside then his wife (watch out Melania).

Yes and 110 second of that would be taken up prizing the hamster off his head (or luring it down with a carrot).

Every time he tweets about 'tax returns', he does a little more damage.

PerkingFaintly · 16/04/2017 17:34

Sad I can't imagine Erdogan holding such a "referendum" if he didn't expect to win it. One way or another.

Roussette · 16/04/2017 17:38

As many tweets have said in response to him... "if you've nothing to hide, what's the problem in releasing your tax returns? Every President for over 40 years has done so". I hope the american public never ever let up on this one.

mavis Grin. I saw it referred to as an orange furball on twitter earlier!

Very good returns officers in Turkey, they managed to count 55 million votes in one hour. Hmm

originalbiglymavis · 16/04/2017 17:40

Wow. I'm impressed. Such speed and accuracy.

Good, long article on Turkey. Several today on authenticity of alleged coup. Turkey was an equal rights, secular democracy under Kemal Ataturk in 1920s. Sad

BiglyBadgers · 16/04/2017 18:00

The whole situation in turkey is deeply troubling. The "coup" absolutely stunk and this referendum is just appalling. He used the coup to crack down violently on opposition and will use this referendum to cement a dictatorship. Considering the key positioning of turkey and it's importance in managing the terrorist threat as well as the refugee situation the west should be very, very worried about this. It concerns me that it is not covered far more in the press and there seems to be a lack of real vocal opposition from Europe (though i guess this is due to the complexity of the terrorist and refugee situation mentioned).

I fear we could all be looking in open mouthed horror at trump while the whole time Erdogan is quietly setting things up to cause mayhem from the other direction. Confused

Don't former Pres and wife get SS protection for lifetime? Think of the money we would have saved with Clinton, as they were already getting protection. Grin Bet nobody thought about that!

Some Twitter reports say the No vote is pulling ahead in some of the big Turkish cities.

@EuropeElects
If trend continues:
No (Hayir): 51.3%
Yes (Evet): 48.7%
? Please let it be no

AcrossthePond55 · 16/04/2017 18:22

DH says the rumour that the US 'interfered' with the NK missile launch appears to be 'gaining ground' in certain circles.

If it's true, I'll bet it was so Trump wouldn't have to live up to his willy-waving. Either that or it was done behind his back out of fear that if it was successful, he'd try to take 'action'.

Natsku · 16/04/2017 18:23

Good point Ginger they really should have considered the money saying in voting Hillary Grin

Natsku · 16/04/2017 18:24

Highly doubt that there's not some amount of meddling with the votes, poor Turkey :(
