The one where Trump just can't stop being Trump

[TheClaws]

Time for a new 'un.

Old thread here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2958743-Its-too-hot-for-high-drama-but-nonetheless-we-persist-Trump-cont

Oh the irony if this whole situation blows up because of HIS emails.

Hillary must be aching from laughter.

The translation of the Russian article is funny but it does say that Russia (Putin) has waited 6 months to see what the US would do to reverse the sanctions to the hacking, but Trump has done nothing and doesn't seem to want to.

Not sure what to think. Trump won't want to seem too friendly at this time and it could simply be a staged position by Russia.

US President Donald Trump 'to visit UK in 2018'

Is that one of those "in two weeks" thing?

Colbert got back just in time for DT Jr.
And G20.

BTW, where's the "nothing to see in Russia" troll?

Ha, probably!

I hadn't seen this. I'm hugely embarrassed for us that our desperation to sidle up to anyone who might reward us with trade deals is so patently conspicuous. I'm not missing anything am I? This isn't actually an acceptable thing for an unelected progeny to do is it?

Theresa May says it was "entirely reasonable" for Ivanka Trump to take her father's seat at the G20 summit.

Well.... this Rep doesn't think much of Trump Jr's actions.

Correction: Comey's memos did not have top secret info. The report says half were classified at secret or confidential level, not top secret

It's a good thing that POTUS doesn't retweet what Fox and Friends says

1. Many of the things Trump Jr. has said about this meeting have turned out to be lies. One thing he says now is that his dad didn't know
2. Could that possibly be true? Could Trump Jr. have really not told his dad about a written offer saying Russia wants to help them?

Go Kelly Anne

Distraction tweets relate to obstruction and a few retweets from Fox and Friends whinging about Obamacare.

The Senate Democrats have only confirmed 48 of 197 Presidential Nominees. They can't win so all they do is slow things down & obstruct!

...conveniently forgetting that the GOP has the majority, and so many of those confirmations can't be made anyway as the nominations don't exist.

And an Olympic bid!

Working hard to get the Olympics for the United States (L.A.). Stay tuned!

Get ready for the least ethnically diverse Olympics ever, given that many countries would be unable to send athletes. And others may not wish to hand over passwords to their social media accounts... Yeah, that is hardly an offer that will set other nations alight.

That only just occurred to me. He clearly sees no contradiction.

Bless. Who's going to want to attend the Olympics?

Since Kushner didn't properly disclose the Veselnitskaya meeting, he's been subject to possible blackmail for months. Oh well.

On Sat, Trump Jr comes up w excuse about meeting
On Sun, Jr changes story
On Mon, Goldstone's email
On Tues, the lawyer contradicts email

That video of KAC is infuriating but I think even the this is too big for her to obfuscate away from (although how she managed to get the last word in and switch it to James Comey was something to behold).

I think that that's the clue to watching Conway without feeling the urge to throttle someone. Analyse how she's doing it.

And the trick to listeningto/reading about any of the Trumps is to translate how what they're saying projects back onto them. Reverse engineer the truth, if you like.

Have a go on this clip!

Media & Dems are extremely invested in the Russia story. If this nonsense meeting is all they have after a yr, I understand the desperation!

cc. all the finger pointing that still goes on with Clinton's "but her emails".
