To note.

Warning from Dalio

Wow, the nasty comments from US citizens are appalling. On this and other tweets I've seen.

The low poll turnout makes it likely that the GOP will just ignore it.

P.S. - Arpaio is very aged now. I seem to recall that his defence are seeking a 'capped' sentence if he's found guilty - for that reason.

Well, they may not. It doesn't mean that they don't exist.

He can call for it all he likes. Let's see what the US says about aid. Wink

lionheart · 12/06/2017 21:41

Ha!

cozietoesie · 12/06/2017 21:43

Newt, like some others, genuinely believes, I reckon, that what is at the front of his mind is the only truth.

Orlantina · 12/06/2017 21:47

Trump is going to announce if he has tapes.

I seriously don't get that - why is he waiting to announce it and what will the tapes say?

This is what he said at the press conference about the tapes

I can't get over how he treats the press. They represent the American public.

lionheart · 12/06/2017 21:49

I must admit I have not been able to watch the original, except with the tv on mute.

Orlantina · 12/06/2017 21:53

This bit here is where he talks about the tapes and swearing on oath. Or not

cozietoesie · 12/06/2017 21:59

Or not, I think. He's just teasing.

cozietoesie · 12/06/2017 22:07

And guess what isn't going away......

The debt ceiling

Orlantina · 12/06/2017 22:09

Yes, he definitely says he'll pledge under oath when asked.

That's not what Sean Spicer said.

Spicer said he was specifically asked if he would talk to Director Mueller

He was asked 2 questions

  1. Would you be willing to speak under oath?

Trump replied that he would

  1. So if Director Mueller asked you,

Interesting - Trump is talking about pledging allegiance under oath. I thought that Comey was talking about loyalty. Nothing to do with oath.

Also - Trump said that everything he's read and seen has said he was ok to meet with him privately. Maybe he should widen his reading habits?

cozietoesie · 12/06/2017 22:14

I'm not sure that he didn't sneak in a quick negative there, Orlantina, although it was difficult to tell among the word soup. Have another listen?

Roussette · 12/06/2017 22:18

Thanks for bigly thread TheClaws Smile

How nauseating was his cabinet meeting and him telling everyone how he was best Pres ever, then getting members of his team to lick his arse

cozietoesie · 12/06/2017 22:20

The reports were bad enough. I couldn't have watched any video.

Finally held our first full @Cabinet meeting today. With this great team, we can restore American prosperity and bring real change to D.C.

And apparently he went around the table and made them praise him, one by one, Kim Jong Un style.

Do you think Melania and her parents all talki in Slovenian in front of 45? I bet she says, smiling through gritted teeth, I can't stand one more year.
