*heard

cozietoesie · 13/03/2018 19:19

Didn't he though?

boatyardblues · 13/03/2018 19:25

Tillerson looked absolutely furious. Well.. I suppose you would be if you heard you were sacked by your aide telling you it was on Twitter.

It’s straight out of The Apprentice playbook: “You’re fired!” Muppet!

I have just caught up after getting in late from work. Shock Shock Shock What a shower of shit!

And finally, Flowers for Blue. X

I stand corrected. He said - at the very beginning - something like 'I received about noontime from Airforce One, a call from the President of the United States........'

OuaisMaisBon · 13/03/2018 20:05

I don't understand the import of this, could someone kindly explain it to me, please?

This is a Tweet Mike Pompeo deleted last year, suggesting that the Emails Wikileaks obtained through Russia's hacking proved that Obama fixed the election in Clinton's favor

Trump wants this man to run the State Department.

Pompeo DOES NOT want this seen.

You know what to do!!

I’m so thrilled that she’s back, this time joining the 2020 campaign team

You know, I have to say that this whole brou-ha-ha also makes me wonder "What's the REAL news? What are we NOT SEEING because of this Tillerson debacle?".

Putin taking over the world?

Reminder: Mike Pompeo repeatedly cited WikiLeaks to attack Clinton, Democrats during the campaign. (link: cnn.it/2FANftl )

That was re: Pompeo and wikileaks

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/mar/13/stormy-daniels-trump-lawyer-alleged-affair-time-to-buckle-up

“Time to buckle up,” said Stormy Daniels’ lawyer on Tuesday as the deadline set by the adult film star for Donald Trump or his lawyer to respond to her offer to return a $130,000 hush fee in exchange for the freedom to speak about an alleged past affair with Trump came and went.

OuaisMaisBon · 13/03/2018 20:25

Re: Pompeo and Wikileaks and deleted Tweet - sorry, no, completely not understanding the relevance of one to the other. I must have missed something vital about Wikileaks and Trump?

lionheart · 13/03/2018 21:03

I did not realise that Haspel was quite so involved in the torture sites, or at least not in the way that it is laid out here.

I have read quite a few tweets about Haspel and her role in torture and it's atrocious. I won't link anything because it's so gruelling.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 13/03/2018 21:35

This might be a story being missed Across. It's not being hidden by Rexit, because it's about Rexit, but I hadn't considered this angle before.

I can't do large copying and pasting jobs tonight but it's definitely worth a read:

I believe UAE/KSA have been a strong impetus behind Tillerson’s firing. Here starts a long thread about the other meddling scandal into US politics:

Trump touts a military 'space force' saying to Marines they wouldn't be going to Mars if Clinton had won.

Build that wall - in the asteroid built, got to keep those bad green men out.

Which ironically is what were deployed in the seizure of the Crimea!

Trump has grown irritated with David Shulkin and is now making plans to remove him from Veterans Affairs. He's eyed Energy Secretary Rick Perry as a possible replacement, and the two discussed it during lunch at the White House yesterday.

[There's been lots about how shite Shulkin has been - he's needed an armed guard at his door Shock but regardless, the chaos is amplifying]

'President Donald Trump made his first visit to California today, the first time he has done so since taking office last year. But even before his arrival, California’s Democratic Governor Jerry Brown sent the President a fiery letter via Twitter, in which he challenges Trump’s vision of a walled U.S.-Mexican border with the idea of “focusing on bridges, not walls.”'

Life got in the way today so have only just been able to catch up!
It's hard to feel optimistic at the moment but hopefully today's Pennsylvania election will bring some uplifting news... still a long shot though.

From WAPO
By Tuesday morning, Republicans were openly fretting that Lamb, a Marine veteran and former federal prosecutor, might win the race. The final public poll, from Monmouth University, found Lamb ahead by two to six points depending on the intensity of voter turnout. Internal Republican polling also found Saccone trailing narrowly, though picking up a little ground since the president’s visit to the district.

Flowers bluesky - nothing can compare.
