Hi all Smile

Not been on the threads much but I've been following all the latest shenanigans closely. Shocked at the birth control rollback and the orange twat chucking paper towels to the crowd.

Lots to catch up on

Looks like another possible terrorist incident in London :(

Am reading an interesting Michael Wolff article in the Oct 2017 edition of GQ at the hairdresser's. It's about how Trump's business bluster doesn't work in DC.

Here's an excerpt. I think the whole article may be available on the GQ website GQ.co.uk/magazine Looks like same writer has done an article on Corbyn.

NEW: Trump's lawyers are cooperating w/ Mueller in hopes he will declare Trump is not a target

Hoping to Have Trump Cleared, Legal Team Eases Resistance to Inquiry

<a class="break-all" href="https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/07/us/politics/trump-russia-legal.html?referer=t.co/173PgIMqA0?amp=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/07/us/politics/trump-russia-legal.html?referer=t.co/173PgIMqA0?amp=1

WASHINGTON — White House officials once debated a scorched-earth strategy of publicly criticizing and undercutting Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel investigating Russian efforts to disrupt last year’s election. Now, President Trump’s lawyers are pursuing a different course: cooperating with the special counsel in the hope that Mr. Mueller will declare in the coming months that Mr. Trump is not a target of the Russia inquiry.

Mr. Trump has long sought such a public declaration. He fired his F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, in May after Mr. Comey refused to say openly that Mr. Trump was not under investigation.

The president’s legal team is working swiftly to respond to requests from Mr. Mueller for emails, documents and memos, and will make White House officials available for interviews. Once Mr. Mueller has combed through the evidence, Mr. Trump’s lawyers plan to ask him to affirm that Mr. Trump is not under investigation, either for colluding with Russian operatives or trying to obstruct justice.

More than a half dozen White House officials, witnesses and outside lawyers connected to the Russia inquiry have described the approach, which is as much a public relations strategy as a legal one. The president’s legal team aims to argue that the White House has nothing to hide, hoping to shift the burden to Mr. Mueller to move quickly to wrap up an investigation that has consumed the Trump administration’s first year.

Hurricane Nate strengthening as it heads toward landfall on the northern Gulf Coast

www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/10/07/hurricane-nate-strengthening-as-it-heads-toward-landfall-on-the-northern-gulf-coast/

Hurricane warnings are in place from Grand Isle, La. to the Alabama border with Florida. This includes the city of New Orleans, which has prompted the mayor of the Crescent City to issue mandatory evacuations for parts of the area.

Nate is expected to make landfall Saturday night, now as a Category 2 storm with 105 mph sustained winds. Rain had already begun along the northern Gulf Coast Saturday morning, and conditions will go downhill further through the afternoon and Saturday night.

Think the police say the London accident was an accident, which is strangely good news.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 07/10/2017 17:40

This suggests it’s not established yet

catgirl1976 · 07/10/2017 18:05

Hoping it's an accident which it seems to be looking like. Also BBC suggesting only minor injuries which is a relief.

With Eric in charge.........Grin

Lweji · 07/10/2017 20:30

I doubt it's only the Eric effect.
The Donald effect hasn't helped, I'm sure.

badbadhusky · 07/10/2017 20:48

Well, saying you expect to be covertly recorded in hotels (Donnie) smacked a bit of Gerald Ratner's infamous "shit" comment.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 07/10/2017 21:19

He really only wants to be a TV 'star' - I think he'd trade the presidency for a prime-time, high-ratings show in the blink of an eye!

Maybe someone should pitch it to him.
A scripted reality show. He's the star. He's the producer. He earns all the money. He gets all the ratings and column inches.
We can get real generals to act as 'himself', the newly unemployed Playboy bunnies to don white coats and clear glasses to be "climate scientists" and a few Asian looking guys to be the North Koreans.

(But none of it matters - shh don't tell him that bit)

It might work.

Bawbag effect maybe?
