Coincidently Grin Woodward and Bernstein spoke at the WHCA Dinner, as well.

I wonder if we'll be able to tell the difference in their demeanour between "Running the country into the ground, business as usual" and "Oh shit, we're going to jail, we need to do as much damage as we can before we're arrested."

Trump is now talking about consolidating his power wapo.st/2oXzAAt

He has a taste of power, but doesn't like the pace or anyone questioning him. Can he actually force through things that would significantly alter who or what agencies can limit his power????

I've previously read some opinions that such unpredictability might put NK in its place, and force China to act.
However, putting the entire world in a state of unease can't be good for business, even.

If he is so popular why did he go to the farm show arena which is not very big. Plenty of arenas in PA. Phiy, Pitt, State college.

Lots of discussions about the size of the rally crowd. Pictures showing a fair number of empty seats, however Angry Spice said it was the largest crowd there ever. Period.

Except for locals who say the local dog shows and tractor pulls get more of a crowd.

Trump says there were people outside clamouring to get in. Protesters stating "nobody out here but us!!"

And both were right. :)
The devil is in the details or the missing info.

GingerIvy · 30/04/2017 15:58

You'd think he could at least put a bit of effort and creativity into his lies. Sad.

Lweji · 30/04/2017 16:00

Also, farm arena?

Were they hoping to re-enact Animal Farm?
All the Administration is crooked, but some are more crooked than others.

I just posted on the Westminster thread that RTB had performed a similar service to our Trump rally tag teams doing the commentary. Made me realise no-one had live commented. Have any you actually watched the rally footage of last night's rally? Was about the same (incoherent ranty mud-slinging bollocks) as usual? Anything worth reporting?

Lweji · 30/04/2017 16:24

I've only watched bits.

Get them out.
Crowd size.
Bigly win.
Bad press on their low key event.

Orlantina · 30/04/2017 16:29

I wonder if someone wrote it before hand and then ticked off what he said and how he said it.

China - BFF now
Illegal immigrants
Healthcare

  1. Two grand juries-two cases. One is a RICO case. The other is a FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) case.

  2. The FARA case loops in the Russians in Trump Tower, is larger and also does involve RICO.

MrsT2007 · 30/04/2017 17:39

Looks like Mr Schneiderman has been busy up in NYC

Is the the beginning of the end for 45?

MrsT2007 · 30/04/2017 17:43

FARA will be held in private as may be using intelligence

RICO (racketeering and corruption) will not, and if thectwo link then methinks Mr Trump and his tower and slap bang in the middle of it all.

MrsT2007 · 30/04/2017 17:44

Claude Taylor @TrueFactsStated

  1. The other unrelated RICO case, involves no election matters, it involves money laundering as predicate offense.

So there's three grand juries convened, apparently

MrsT2007 · 30/04/2017 17:46

Last case won't be re: election but the money laundering or other corruption charges.

So, who do we reckon I should going to be indicted first?! Grin

GingerIvy · 30/04/2017 17:56

Trump, Ivanka, and Trump Jr re their business in the middle east? In the place beginning with A that I can't remember (or spell anyway, so it doesn't matter?) hahahahhaa

GingerIvy · 30/04/2017 17:59

Rumours flying that he's done the bombing in Syria, the MOAB in Afghanistan.... he needs to go bigger and better.... anything less is unacceptable. He has a fascination with nuclear bombs. NK looking to be a good target if he can needle NK into sending up something.

GingerIvy · 30/04/2017 18:02

From an article:

Goodwin asked Obama how, while president, he handled frustrating moments. She mentioned that Abraham Lincoln would write angry letters, then put them in a desk and not mail them. Obama responded: “For starters, by not having a Twitter account.”

EU says united Ireland would be automatic full member

Anyone offer any thoughts on this? I'm not up to par on Ireland (and I should be as the dcs are Irish - shame on me!)

MrsT2007 · 30/04/2017 18:21

Well it's already a member, uses Euro etc and is bog all to do with the UK now, so seems entirely predictable

The border with NI will be an issue though. Which basically takes us back 20 years
