As the armada appears in waters nowhere near where it was said to be, Trump blusters on in his usual dignified, courtly manner. Easter weekend had us worried about nuclear strikes; DT put a fair bit of work into his golf swing. Business as usual! Carry on, everyone!

Trump picks Scott Brown as U.S. ambassador to New Zealand

This was the headline in New Zealand's largest newspaper when rumors first leaked pic.twitter.com/np2BTfHlBD

Gotta love a good headline. Grin

Had to post that headline for anyone who couldn't find it on the Twitter Grin

Thanks Bigly. Grin

Ambassadorships are frequently 'paybacks' for things rather than actual acclamations of merit. I have a feeling they're still subject to confirmation, though?

cozietoesie · 20/04/2017 16:15

I'd be interested to hear how any American posters, and their acquaintances, are viewing the new GOP proposals for Trumpcare?

Let me know - on here - if the link won't open for you.

Russian mole?

This article by an ex Breitbart employee about their disillusionment with Trump is worth a read. Even if it just for the revelation that Bannon used to be known as "honey badger" around the breitbart office. Shock Grin

Is Donald Trump’s revolution already over?
In side-lining Steve Bannon, the US President is starting to look as much a part of the system as the Clintons

Now Chaffetz says he might leave Congress early.

Apparently being Oversight chairman with Trump as prez isn't fun.

Shame on you, Ginger. The guy just wants to ........spend more time with his wife and family. (I'm sure I read that somewhere.) Grin

GingerIvy · 20/04/2017 16:47

I suspect cozie that he thinks he can bow out gracefully now and stay out of trouble. Not gonna happen. And he wants to run for governor. Again, not likely to happen.

He wants to make a guest appearance on SNL? Smile

GingerIvy · 20/04/2017 16:56

Nah, much to his embarrassment, he's not big enough to warrant an appearance on SNL.

cozietoesie · 20/04/2017 16:57

It's apparently an ambition of his. Grin

And they're looking to 'upgrade' nuclear capability in a situation where it can't be ruled out that a person or group has infiltrated the NSA? Sheez.

I just got called 'Trump' on the Westminstenders thread for calling out someone for perpetuating a story that stinks of fake news. I resisted the urge to shout "do you know who I am?" and roll my eyes dramatically. Instead i am stomping back here where you guys understand me Grin

Ah. 45 'won't be beat' no matter what the personal or party/people consequences. I guess he sees this as a strength. (Instead of what it really is.)
