I don't reckon he'll last that long. Smile

He seems exceptionally well suited to trump roussette

Apologies if this has been posted before. It's a link to browder's testimony:

www.c-span.org/video/?431852-1/william-browder-overturning-magnitsky-act-putins-top-priority

Foreign Agents Registration Act Financier and former Russia investor William Browder testified at a hearing on the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). This law requires those representing the political interests of foreign powers to disclose their relationship. Mr. Browder told committee members that the Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who met with Donald Trump Jr. was heading Russian efforts to get sanctions under the Magnitsky Act repealed. The act blocked Russian government officials and businessmen associated with the death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky from entering the U.S., froze assets in U.S. banks, and banned the use of American banking systems.

Mr. Browder was originally scheduled to appear the previous-day as the second of a two-panel hearing, but Democrats invoked the “two-hour rule,” so the second panel was re-scheduled for the following day. The first panel can be viewed by typing program identification number 431604-1 into the “Search the Video Library” search bar.

He's on a twitter shitstorm again. Loads of them. All about changing the rules and getting rid of the 60 vote and making it 51.

God he's thick as pig shit isn't he. 51 wouldn't have got the healthcare bill through BUT 51 would be good for impeachment, is what everyone is saying.

6 tweets mostly on this theme in as many minutes. Can't be arsed to link them as they honestly are just bullshit

Lweji · 29/07/2017 14:15

About fake news. How people can be made to look like they're saying something they didn't.

GingerIvy · 29/07/2017 16:01

rumour has it that Trump may move Session to Homeland Security, freeing him to put someone as AG that will fire Mueller.

cozietoesie · 29/07/2017 16:02

Ah. An attempt to be ......subtle.

An attempt.

I look forward - mentally - to hearing the reports of Scaramucci's first substantive conversation with Neil Gorsuch. (The one where he suggest that because he's a .......lawyer, Gorsuch should do what he says.)

Smile
cozietoesie · 29/07/2017 16:13

Sorry. suggests (I was laughing too hard to type properly.)

TheNorthWestPawsage · 29/07/2017 16:37

And how long before he adopts a uniform a la Mussolini?

Why Trump is so obsessed with generals.
The president-elect is infatuated with martial swagger and Hollywood’s Patton — which is why he's filling his Cabinet with top military brass.

Suddenly scaramucci's out of place paterno reference makes sense:

The communications director for Donald Trump's White House will have a credit on a movie about disgraced football coach Joe Paterno starring Al Pacino.

Roussette · 29/07/2017 16:48

Oh yes, it'll be military parades next with the fat buffoon saluting his Generals as the Forces march by.

I enjoyed this take on the last weeks shenanigans by Channel4.

I lurk here mostly, grateful for all the explanations. This came up on twitter earlier, I can't be the only one who thinks of American politics in terms of the West Wing surely?
Hope the first attempt at an attachment works.
