I saw Veselnitskaya in interview last night - and she's no 'wee lassie'. She seems to have a mind like a bacon-slicer. Wink

Trump's closest ally in publishing takes down Michael Cohen

Maggie Haberman
@maggieNYT
Pecker is also close with Cohen. This is surprising.

A most unfortunate name. Wink

I think the connotations are different in the US! Similar to calling your child Randy... Smile

Ahhhhhhh. Wink

TheNorthWestPawsage · 28/04/2018 20:56

Oh! I stand corrected - DH has just told me that 'pecker' does mean 'that' in the U.S.!

‘Pecker and Trump’ sounds like a puerile double act Grin

Election forecaster: Nunes seat no longer 'safe' Republican

Rep. Devin Nunes's (R) California seat is no longer considered a "safe Republican" seat, a top election forecaster said this week while shifting its outlook for several House races.

Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia's Center for Politics moved Nunes's seat to "likely Republican" as his Democratic challenger, Fresno County Deputy District Attorney Andrew Janz, continues to have fundraising success.

Trump should always be allowed to speak for himself, I say.

Trump tells Michigan rally that Natalia Veselnitskaya is only claiming she's closely involved with the Russian govt because Putin told her to do so to get back at Trump for being so tough on Russia.

...i.e., he just said Veselnitskaya takes orders directly from Putin.

oops

This has been posted on KCNA in the last day or so - so I think NK is still not quite feeling the love for the US just yet.

U.S. Civilian Evacuation Drill Is War Card: KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, April 28 (KCNA) -- The U.S. conducted exercises of evacuating American nationals to its mainland from south Korea from April 16 to 20.

The pretext is to cope with "emergency on the Korean peninsula" and it is said that the drill is the first of its kind.

The U.S. farce unbecoming to the atmosphere for dialogue on the Korean peninsula is met by vigilance of the Korean nation and the regional countries because it seeks a sinister scenario behind it.

In short, the evacuation drill is a dangerous act of going against the détente on the Korean peninsula, an act aimed to make war a fait accompli and incite atmosphere for it.

Thanks to the proactive measure and sincere efforts of the DPRK, the trend of peace and détente has been created on the Korean peninsula. This is the stern reality.

Yet, the U.S. made the fuss which can be seen only on the eve of a war, indication that it seeks other purpose rather than the détente of situation on the Korean peninsula.

It is a well-known fact that whenever the atmosphere for national reconciliation, unity and peace loomed on the Korean peninsula, the U.S. has always stood against it.

This time, too, it showed the civilian evacuation card, at the end of hard efforts to prevent the north-south relations from improving along the positive direction.

The evacuation of civilians is, in fact, a card signaling a war, and this was proven by the historical fact on the eve of the last Korean War.

At that time, the U.S. evacuated its civilians in a hurry and provoked the Korean War of aggression.

The U.S. acts of shunning and denying the reality clearly prove that the U.S. is harasser of peace and destroyer of stability and orders.

The U.S. had better ponder over its military adventure of a war targeting the DPRK.

The U.S. should contemplate what mistakes it has made in the history of the DPRK-U.S. confrontation and who has become winner, not straining its nerves on dreaming of fighting a war, and rectify the hostile policy toward the DPRK that has become dregs of the times.

This is an advice forwarded to the U.S. by the DPRK. -0-

They wouldn't know, would they? as he's the only one at the rally who would have been invited to the dinner. Does he realise that?

Anniegetyourgun · 29/04/2018 07:58

Just cross-posted with that one from NK. So much for the Nobel peace prize eh?

TheClaws · 29/04/2018 08:01

You’re quite right, though, Annie. What a derp!

lionheart · 29/04/2018 08:38

Not better than the WHCD by the sounds of it.

But ouch.
