Something is shifting perhaps:

'...Ukrainian officials say they are not only willing to cooperate with the FBI, they have been trying to do that for years, but only recently did American law enforcement show any interest.'

From cozie's link.

Interesting thrust to that piece, wasn't there? Smile

BiglyBadgers · 26/05/2017 18:44

I think the whole lot of the Twitter folks are at least partially nuts

I'm cogitating on Gianforte's statement after the alleged (I'm trying to be proper) assault.

If the allegation is correct and it happened as the Fox journalists described, then Gianforte put out that statement knowing there were three witnesses to his actions other than the victim.

Did he assume they would stay quiet? Was he expecting that level of complicity because they were from Fox? It really is extraordinary.

Sorry. The link is within the piece you linked to.

That is awful.

Sleipnirthewonderhorse · 26/05/2017 20:40

Macron wasn't the only one being unhelpful in his choice of language according to Caitlin Moran in the Celebrity Watch weekly article in the Times. From the article-

CW was amused to see that when the Pope — a man who speaks perfect English — met President Trump this week — a man he has condemned as “not Christian” for proposing the building of a wall between America and Mexico — he decided to speak to him in Spanish.

Although it is probably heretical for an atheist such as CW to speculate on the pope’s motives, it can see no other reason for him to do this other than “a childish spite in watching Trump nod like a dim dog while waiting for the interpreter to translate”.

I wonder if world leaders are practising how to master the Trump handshake now.

What will Putin do if / when he meets him?

Lweji · 26/05/2017 20:51

Trump "looking at" changing sanctions against Russia

And yet he called enemies in his NATO speech, if I'm not mistaken.

Orlantina · 26/05/2017 20:52

Macron must have been planning this.

cozietoesie · 26/05/2017 20:58

Goodness that was pointed.
