Interestingly Claude Taylor's sources corroborate her.

Lweji · 17/04/2017 08:00

Louise Mensch claiming recordings exist of Trump making promises to Russia in exchange for election hacking.

It's not an unbelievable claim, considering his pre-emptive strike of accusing Obama of tappppping him.

MrsT2007 · 17/04/2017 08:02

Only just come across Claude. He's a interesting one to follow (@truefactsstated)

(The Hill). Russian and Chinese navy warships following the USS Vinson.

I thought this Independent article about the Dems getting the vote out in Georgia. Seems the canvassers are finding there are a lot of closeted Democrats in their town, people who are usually too shy to soeak about their Dem preferences.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 17/04/2017 09:22

^ the first sentence is missing "makes for interesting reading" and soeak is speak.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 17/04/2017 09:37

Let's hope Mensch and Taylor are right and that this week brings developments that start the process of ousting Trump. Preferably before he starts a nuclear war with North Korea.

Pence puts North Korea on notice not to test U.S. resolve, citing Syria strike

Hopefully, the more they come out and their voices are heard, then more people will follow.
It's hard when you only hear one side.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 17/04/2017 09:55

It is interesting. The area is staunchly Republican, or so people have thought, so the Dems in the area tend not to speak about their left leanings. The article says lots are saying "but I'm the only one here (on their street)" and are surprised to learn many of their neighbours are too.

Not allowed to see this in our region Sad

saffronwblue · 17/04/2017 10:56

But lucky Australia, we get a visit from Pence in a couple of days. Just after he reassures Japan.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 17/04/2017 11:03

Cheer up Saffron. At least you're not getting the orange idiot. Any other Brits praying for impeachment before October?

woman12345 · 17/04/2017 11:06

For Saffron: "Mike Pence sent to South Korea, even though for Mike Pence, 'going south' is a sin." Grin

Lweji · 17/04/2017 11:39

I'm not British and I'm praying for impeachment asap.

PerkingFaintly · 17/04/2017 11:42

I sincerely hope I'm overstating this, but given the emerging split between 45 and the alt-Right who put him there (Bannon, the Mercers and others picked 45 as their front man), I'm genuinely concerned the true believers in human rights and the democratic processHmm might decide on a two-birds-one-stone solution:
a) assassinate 45, and
b) make it look like an Islamist terrorist.

It would give them everything they've ever dreamed of.Sad

It's bad enough he risks assassination at Mar A Lago - and they shut down half the town to protect him. If he comes here and someone has a crack, that'll be on us.

I just don't want to play.

Natsku · 17/04/2017 11:50

Brilliant SNL video Lweji

Don't know cosie seems to be more about the issues of social media and being able to get people to watch you, which has a very tenuous link to 45 and his love of social media. Disturbing times.
