Pence registered his own PAC today.

So, the rats are fleeing?

cozietoesie · 18/05/2017 12:30

They're doing some quick 'grooming' Lweji. (Just to make sure those coats are nice and flat.) Wink

GingerIvy · 18/05/2017 12:30

I look at it as a sign that Pence is actively and openly now only concerned about how he fares in this debacle, rather than supporting Trump or doing what's best for the country. (whereas previously he was much more subtle)

Speaking of Boris, I watched him this morning in Portuguese news wearing an orange turban and discussing whisky imports/exports.
Cringing.

Less and less support, although this is the Independent

Fox News unable to find Republicans 'willing to go on camera' to defend Trump following explosive Comey memo
'What I think is really stunning is that nobody has come out under their own name in defence of the President'

With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special councel appointed!

catgirl1976 · 18/05/2017 12:43

Though I'm unsure what a "councel" is :)

Perhaps he can go on one of those adult literacy schemes in jail

TheClaws · 18/05/2017 12:44

Check the spelling...

Orlantina · 18/05/2017 12:46

I think the spelling errors show that his tweets aren't checked sometimes.

Maybe they should be?

OP posts:
Lweji · 18/05/2017 12:46

Maybe that's why it was never appointed.

Having said that, is he not aware of what happened during the Clinton administration? His bff for a while? Was it ok then?

TheClaws · 18/05/2017 12:49

Still on about Clinton and Obama! Bless! Maybe we should say it's because he's special - that's why he gets his very own councel!

cozietoesie · 18/05/2017 12:50

He wrote that himself - but it's from someone else's mouth. (No 'I's. )

TheClaws · 18/05/2017 12:54

I'm crying now.

This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!

Orlantina · 18/05/2017 12:57

Nixon?

TheClaws · 18/05/2017 13:02

I think he secretly likes he's better than Nixon, Orlantina. He has to be the biggest and the best of everything - even witch hunts I'd say Grin

OnionKnight · 18/05/2017 13:02

The orange turd is having another meltdown.

GingerIvy · 18/05/2017 13:04

I knew he wouldn't be able to resist complaining about it.

Orlantina · 18/05/2017 13:06

I wonder what he was like as a child being told off?
Or at school?

OP posts:
cozietoesie · 18/05/2017 13:07

He's likely right - but then there was never such a candidate as this before.

He could likely stop most of it by divulging those tax returns.

For half an hour at least. Wink

I've now had a quick check of links I might have clicked from this thread (or onwards), and none have generated a Breitbart cookie.

So I would suspect advertising. But I have an adblocker, and certainly haven't noticed anything looking like Breitbart coming up.

Interesting. I wonder where they're coming from?

BTW, if people felt able to state where their t.co and other shortened links went, I know I'd find that helpful. At least one link (added for good reason) went to Sputnik, so I immediately had to go off and clear its cookies. Not a dreadfully onerous task, of course, but sometimes I'd prefer not to stop and do so.

PseudoBadger · 18/05/2017 13:08

I don't want to give this thought but - if the situation arose in the world today, 18th May, that may require a nuclear option, do you think he would be judged to have the capacity to make that decision?

cozietoesie · 18/05/2017 13:10

Yes. I do. By his chain of command, anyway.

Orlantina · 18/05/2017 13:11

If he's got nothing to hide, he shouldn't worry about the investigation.

Methinks he doth protest too much.
