Dear Father Christmas/Santa, Please grant our Christmas Wish. We have been very good this year. We promise not to say shit, cunt, or fuck too terribly much unless we're driven to it by Trump CuntFuckery. Oh shit, so much for that promise! Well, we'll TRY. Thank You, the MN Viper Freedom Squad

Pompeo's letter to Qods commander further proof that CIA conducting policy. Surely it's a job for Tillerson (or Mattis) to engage Iran about its military posture in Iraq?

This is what might impede the resistance’s efforts. Yes, authoritarian regimes produce pushback but it can take decades for the regimes to fall (Zimbabwe, Russia, North Korea etc). And if they’ve successfully divorced people from reality enough that they don’t trust empirical facts, and that population is growing, it makes it a lot easier to subjugate them and feed them bullshit to keep them compliant. (I do love the strap line though)

So let me get this straight. An anti Obama Republican Fake 9/11 responder is financially backed by Claude Taylor & Louise Mensch to run as a Dem to take over an easy Democratic Congressional seat? #TeamPillowForts subversion is deep.

Her thing being to try to actually negatively impact how many elected dems there are

It won’t come as any surprise that it’s our favourite congressman Devin Nunes who is participating in this. The projection in the statement is breathtaking (but deliberate, so as to muddy the waters)

I could punch the telly. On Andrew Marr this morning... Farage defending Trump, Charlottsville 'bad on either side', followed by Rees-Mogg saying Trump should come over here for a state visit. Both a couple of dipshits and I now feel rather nauseous for even listening.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 03/12/2017 09:41

Shock why did you put yourself through that Rousette?

Roussette · 03/12/2017 09:47

I don't know, it was a very stupid move Grin

I was sat there with my mouth hanging open in complete horror whilst listening to the garbage they both spouted.

lionheart · 03/12/2017 09:49

A toxic combination there, Roussette.

Dear BBC,

Here is how you deal with the far right: you report on them the way you would report on cancer. You invite an expert on them to talk about them as a problem. You don't talk to the tumour itself.

PerkingFaintly · 03/12/2017 10:11

Chris Suprun, is the name of the Republican whom Malcolm Nance is talking about. Looking at the website for Suprun's Congressional bid, I can't see the word "Democratic" anywhere, although it's smothered in blue.

I'm not familiar with US electioneering, so don't know how to read this. But yeah, overall he doesn't look like the most... reliable candidate.

Sunday Times reporting Trump ‘flying visit’ has been pencilled in for 26-27 February. Save the date, he’s going to be met by the biggest protest this country has ever seen.

There's a pretty good chance Trump tweeted about Flynn lying to the FBI because he wanted to look like he's known that all along and didn't just find out with all the rest of us schlubs.

Melissa McEwan’s tweet says exactly what DH and I said about Trumps’s idiotic tweet.

Just seen that Yasher Ali tweet above. Between stuff like that and all the craven, partisan amendments to the tax bill on Friday, you get a thoroughly dispiriting view of how corrupt US politics has become - and Trump’s coterie are swampier than most. So much for “drain that swamp!” Hmm

I’m not naive, but it doesn’t feel like UK politics has descended as far, but it may just be that we aren’t looking hard enough.

It’s all so depressing.

Sunday Times reporting Trump ‘flying visit’ has been pencilled in for 26-27 February. Save the date, he’s going to be met by the biggest protest this country has ever seen.

Now that's real evidence of the true 'special relationship' between the people of the UK and the US. Rock on, you guys!

After years of Comey, with the phony and dishonest Clinton investigation (and more), running the FBI, its reputation is in Tatters - worst in History! But fear not, we will bring it back to greatness.
