Rep. Darrell Issa on Joe Lieberman as the potential FBI director: "I think it's great" cnn.it/2qyxLgn snpy.tv/2qF4PSl

Issa is a dick. He's also saying to media that he questions why Comey felt the need to write those memos.

There's such a thing as being a good host, but also such a thing as being a good guest.

I agree, but it's common in these sorts of things for the advance folks from both sides to find out likes and dislikes. One of my friends was involved some years ago in organizing a lunch in my state where the Queen would be a guest. They did find out what she liked and didn't like. It's just courtesy and very normal protocol.

This is a bad result for the U.S. This is on Trump 100% bad. These countries will go on to trade with China.

"Bob Beckel was terminated today... so do they realy say this in the US? Here we are so careful to say that a person's job or contract was terminated, not them.

RedToothBrush · 19/05/2017 16:43

Hmmm I wonder if Theresa knows about the lamb and Americas and that etiquette of asking first:
