It's too hot for high drama, but nonetheless we persist (Trump cont.)

[illegitimateMortificadospawn]

I'm all out of inspiration here. The grind is getting us all down, interspersed with terrorist attacks, but we shall overcome. In the meantime, there's gin and camaraderie.

You remember a few week ago when Trump mentioned the tapes....

And Obama wiretapping...

Seems like a long time ago

Hi All

He's still in the UK till next Thursday - then he's back to China, S. Korea etc on the cruise ship :(

The plan is to due this next cruise and then move to the UK with his wife and have some babies :) Can't happen soon enough (both the babies and the move!)

Blimey. How long is the cruise to be?

Feels like a couple of centuries ago, Orlantina.

Long ago but there is a deadline on Friday:

There's something quite interesting here, I think. If - and that's a mahoosive 'If' - there are recordings of some sort about Comey, what other ones are potentially knocking around?

Thanks, lion.

45 holding another rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and clearly still telling nothing but lies every time he opens that horrid little mouth.

Did we see this lovely tweet from @KellyannePolls? Not sure she has any integrity at all.

That's a quite extraordinary tweet. I can only assume that she had been..........partaking?

.@POTUS: "We have the hardest-working, the smartest people, the toughest people. They're very lucky that our people don't protest."

What does that even mean??

Trying to read that mind is, much of the time, like trying to read a pot of writhing snakes, Across. Please don't ask me to even try.

Does he mean they'd be the best at protesting? Is it a veiled threat of sorts? (If he could manage such layering of meaning).

He's back again in November cosie

Just read this NYT report on the Orange Fart's rally - utterly sickening. Please continue persisting!

POTUS: "We have the hardest-working, the smartest people, the toughest people. They're very lucky that our people don't protest."

I reckon he's watched footage of Londoners protesting outside Downing Street calling for Theresa May to get out, chanting for Jeremy Corbyn, and also storming the Kensington and Chelsea council offices to express feeling about the Grenfell tower fire. I think he thinks we've got too much freedom over here to do that kind of thing. It scares him.

These rallies are terrible. Trump has a speak and spell vocabulary and uses recycled talking points. It's like if a Furby became president.

WOW. The man who ran 'Data Trust' the outfit that leaked 200 million voter details... is now Director of Presidential Personnel at the WH.

I know persistence is required but I just don't see how the 2018 mid terms are going to be fair and free. There has been no acknowledgement of let alone action taken about Russian intereference in 21 (!) states, which leaves the next elections open to be tampered with in trump's favour. What with the alternative reality he's promoting, lots of people would even welcome this, or not care enough to effect a change.

They'll be watched, Pain. Didn't You Know Who say a while back, as well, that his post-presidential work would be on elections or something?

It seemed a bit 'pedestrian' at the time.........

Cuts, cuts, cuts.
But not everywhere...

Trump seeks sharp cuts to housing aid, except for program that brings him millions

Phew, the Mexicans aren't going to have to pay for the wall after all. It shall be paid for by the power of the sun.

Donald Trump claims attaching solar panels to Mexico border wall will ensure fortification 'pays for itself'
