Top Intelligence Republican: Trump's tweet about Comey tapes was "inappropriate" hill.cm/K1zM7E2

When is the CBO report due?

cozietoesie · 13/05/2017 23:29

I have a strong feeling that someone is about to 'talk'. I could be wrong of course.

Who needs oversight really. Nothing is going on in this country. Might as well join Fox News. www.washingtonian.com/2017/05/13/jason-chaffetz-fox-news-house-republicans/ …

You're all liable to be depressed for a few days.

Keep persisting. Smile

The missile flew for 30 minutes and landed in the Sea of Japan (East Sea) apparently.

cozietoesie · 13/05/2017 23:49

Probably an IRBM.

I couldn't resist it. (Sorry.)

From the official DPRK Twitter postings - 2 hours ago.

'DPRK entrant poised to win Euro-vision song contest for 3rd consecutive year, with stunning rendition of "Turnip is the Gift of Our Leader."

Here, my country has won Eurovision, so I got a little cheered up.

It means that anything is possible. Even for Trump to disappear within a few months. Grin

cozietoesie · 14/05/2017 00:06

The DPRK Twitter post writer - well drafter of course - has really got the art of 140 down pat. I couldn't repeat most of the 'pithy but within Twitter guidelines' posts though.

They deal with 45. Grin

Thanks for the new thread Orlantina, although I'm a little late to the party!

My son just sent me this. I hope it's true but refuse to get excited.

Apparently this rumour is now starting to get to the wider internet.

tbh, after poking around a bit and based on the info on this blog, I think it's too farfetched to be true. But it's was a nice few minutes of dreaming while it lasted

Across, I saw that, but I was cautious. Mensch may well be right, but her erratic behaviour has made me think more than twice before posting anything of hers. But....

Gumpendorf · 14/05/2017 07:11

Mensch has been spot on so far, and way ahead of the MSM who have been openly sceptical about her reporting. I agree she's generally a big PITA and can be pretty nasty, but on this I have to give her credit.

This, though, seems extraordinary. Claude Taylor is also reporting it and again, he has been accurate so far. So let's hope it's true.

A little bit of doubt tells me that as the stakes rise, these sources may get duped. I hope not.

Gumpendorf · 14/05/2017 07:16

Digging deeper, Mark Said has previously identified himself as LM's lawyer in FOIA matters. He's a national security attorney based in DC.

Brandt @UrbanAchievr

A lawyer for Louise Mensch seems worried that her latest "bombshell" is bullshit.

Someone remind me: are FISA warrants the ones about money laundering & organised crime? If so, it's possible that there's a long running investigation against Trump that precedes his presidential run & could be well advanced. With the election/Russia thing, that starting pistol was fired last autumn and it will, of course, take longer to build a case. It would be fantastic if the US authorities could impeach Trump in record time and make him notable for the short duration of his presidency.

Trump's now a Putin spokesman:He told reporter Russia wouldn't be pleased about N Korean launch-what about the U.S.? t.co/m8wH7jvFqz?amp=1
