"After all that kissing arse at the Vatican, in Jerusalem and Saudi Arabia, I'm all touched out" says exhausted POTUS. Trump continued.

In haste, I will post the old thread shortly.

*or even America!

Quite right, Dumdedumdedum. I think the body-slam move impressed the alt-right voters in Montana. I saw one clip with a younger woman where she said she understood the frustration he was feeling at the media. (So it's OK to resort to violence then??)

JUST IN: Republican wins Montana special election after being charged with assault hill.cm/JGzzJfY

He has won, and only now apologised to Ben Jacobs. And coming after his victory, it's clearly heartfelt

"I should not have treated that reporter that way. And for that I am sorry Mr. Ben Jacobs. That's not the person I am"--Gianforte

Nobody cares anymore, but Gianforte indeed got through the election w/o taking an AHCA stance — except to donors, to whom he said “yes."

With every special election there's DCCC talk, but no talk of PAC money. Dems getting decimated by outside money - just not able to compete

These Dems are raising huge (seriously massive) sums of money from small donors, only to be buried by insane super PAC spending by GOP.

Matt McDermott @mattmfm

Take a look at the INSANE outside spending by Republicans in Montana, via @rollcall.

Democrats getting drowned by PAC money.

Repost in honor of alleged criminal Greg Gianforte's election. If he were an immigrant he'd face deportation; now he sets immigration policy

'In his majority opinion, Chief Judge Roger Gregory wrote that the travel ban “drips with religious intolerance, animus, and discrimination,” thereby violating “one of our most cherished founding principles—that government shall not establish any religious orthodoxy, or favor or disfavor one religion over another.”'

Another day of Trump and the EU today then. He's still in Brussels, I believe. After the clips of pushing President from Montenegro, the stare off white knuckle handshake with Macron, and Macron swerving Trump to shake Merkels hand first, I can't imagine how any of that will be topped.

It's like having your elderly bumbling Uncle Henry turn up for the weekend and be counting the minutes until he buggers off back home!

Just saw a clip of DT's NATO speech. Not only does it expose his complete misunderstanding of the purpose of NATO, the world leaders lined up in front of him were having trouble concealing their contempt - whispering amongst themselves, arms crossed, sniggering (!!) and eyebrow-raising. Almost felt sorry for DT no I didn't

Sorry, link to NATO speech here. ''Tis a good one.

Roussette He's gone, they all left Brussels late last night. G7 now I think?

You ever watch the good old Attenborough shows with gorillas in their natural habitat? The posturing of the males to achieve domination and find a mate - puffing our chest, swaggering, baring teeth, eye contact, chattering, screetching - general jerk-like behaviour.

Probably a bit of shoving to get to the front too.

Merkel seems to be daydreaming about Obama and their speech in the morning.

I always knew / guessed Melanie was Catholic. She was born in Slovenia after all.

teaandbiscuits oh yes, just seen footage of him landing in Italy.

Oh god G7, another chance for complete idiocy and embarrassment then...

Hmm. Shame Berlusconi isn't on hand. I'd love to see that maco man bluster off.

They'd swap hair tips.
I suppose Merkel is thinking that there's always one. At least Trump doesn't keep people waiting while tweeting on his phone. He just shoves them.

Yes, G7 will be interesting. Notice that it used to be G8 and Russia was recently kicked out.

Sally Yates Harvard commencement speech... wow! Thanks for posting lionheart

Did Angela give that piece of the Berlin Wall to the NATO headquarters to send a message or could it just be a coincidence?

Can't he see the parallel?

Just saw the Montana result. A shame, but sadly not unexpected.

Because it's the morning after the Late Show.

What do Russian scandals and Chumbawamba have in commmon? They get knocked down and they get up again...

Also, now body slamming as a political feature. And I'm guessing it was recorded before the "push".

Btw, it's why we should educate our children to have manners. So that they don't look like arseholes when they become President. Just in case.

Wow, Sally Yates' Harvard speech! Listening to that was half an hour of my life exceptionally well spent.

Thanks so much for the link, lionheart. More direct link to YouTube version here:

I've found the page of the US Senate Intelligence Committee where transcripts and videos of hearings are published.

Brennan's recent appearance isn't up yet. But there are some very interesting-looking other hearings, including both sessions of "Open Hearing: Disinformation: A Primer in Russian Active Measures and Influence Campaigns" on 30 Mar 2017:
