Reading that clip lion I think there is no tax bill because firstly, he is short on numbers in his team by hundreds and hundreds so everyone must be working doubly hard, and secondly... everyone is spending the whole time fire fighting. Not actually doing what needs to be done but coping with the mess and the problems...

Ah Yes. The 'legislation' on which people are working 'very very hard'. Wink

As I said, more or less, upthread, Ginger - If, Kushner was really against withdrawal, there's a lot of history to build on there. I couldn't guess the outcome.

From Ginger's Independent link:

The Conservatives are on track to fall 18 seats short of a majority in the general election, a new opinion poll model has suggested.

The latest YouGov prediction model shows the Tories winning 308 seats, with 42 per cent of voting intention, Labour on 261, with 38 per cent of votes, and other parties winning 80 seats in the 650-seat lower house of parliament.

Am I right in thinking no clear majority at this GE would be the best possible result, as all the Brexit negotiations & other legislation would be tempered by having to secure buy in from the other parties? I'm so over FPTP.

Being a 'sane' employee in the WH right now must be like trying to ride a bucking bronco in a tornado.

I feel that we are approaching some sort of deep, deep crisis point, that something is going to 'snap' very soon. Trump et al are getting more and more blatant. More and more damning information about Russia and more and more corporate favouritism. Whether it's going to end in impeachment or a complete dictatorship I do not know. I do know that I don't like living on this precipice.

WestleyAndButtockUp · 03/06/2017 17:16

A journalist who's delved deep into Kushner's past was interviewed on the most recent Trumpcast podcast, so go there for a recent analysis.

Previously he had been sued by Trump for some investigation into Trump, but the journalist's lawyers won the case convincingly.

He says that since the Russia investigation, Trump has retained the same personal lawyer who was previously defeated; and this lawyer is way out of his depth, and will be during the hearings.
