Trump brings up Rosenstein memo when talking about firing Comey—Rosenstein just told senators he knew Comey would be fired before writing it.

You missed out at least one 'very' from that bit about the strong letter, Orlantina? ( I think there were actually two.)

cozietoesie · 18/05/2017 21:47

Santos did well, all things considered. He looked a bit like a cat on a hot tin roof though. Smile

Santos went all round the houses and through the re-planted fields. Did not pass a wall.

This is very weird. I had no idea there was this McCarthy (yes, that McCarthy)-Cohn-Trump chain. Perhaps Trump had better stop referring to a 'witch-hunt'.

What's an "alarmed, really alarmed, alarming trend"? Apparently it has been seen recently in relation to drugs.

Apparently, Colombia's cocoa cultivation and cocaine production are bigly problems.

Coca is not pronounced cocoa.

Speaking of Santos, I wish he was the current President. :)

Trump was so very jealous of Santos' Nobel Peace Prize!

Remember when, only months ago, the President promised his company would do no more foreign deals until he's out of office? twitter.com/SteveKopack/status/865313588000567297

He was Bigly jealous, wasn't he? Grin

That was the editor that wrote that, lion. Thanks for the link.

Oh, if it doesn't fail naturally, Ginger, he'll try to ensure its demise.

Lweji · 18/05/2017 22:20

In Santos' initial speech, he thanked so much what the US had done for Colombia. I think he meant to say how much Obama had done. Shame he didn't mention names.

cozietoesie · 18/05/2017 22:20

He got the word wrong, Lweji. That was an attempt at recovery.

Lweji · 18/05/2017 22:22

"Believe me" twice in a short time in relation to Russia and collusion. Hmm

lionheart · 18/05/2017 22:23

I didn't know that, cozie--it is one of those things that really makes you pause.

Angels in America on in London now, in which Cohn is portrayed.

Good radio 4 programme about Roy Cohn and Trump in the early days.

cozietoesie · 18/05/2017 22:24

What could Santos say, though? One 'misspeak' and his country could be eating leaves. He was edgy as all get out.

When that - South American? - reporter asked about NAFTA, I thought Santos would have a coronary. (In a diplomatic sort of way of course. Wink)

Lweji · 18/05/2017 22:27

Certainly, he wouldn't draw attention to Obama. He still kept talking about how much the US had done. I think it was a message to Trump not to do less than Obama.

Well if he'd said the 'O' word, his country would definitely have been eating leaves. Grin
