Given all the secret meetings with the Russians, the denials, the false statements, and the guilty pleas, your attacks on the Republican, respected, decorated, Vietnam Veteran running the investigation could not be more false, or transparent.

Ho Hum.

Put defence spending before NHS, says American envoy Woody Johnson
Britain should be ready to increase defence spending at the expense of the NHS to ensure its security and to remain a strong ally, the US ambassador to the UK has indicated. President Trump has said that he does not want the United States to bankroll the security of Europe and will be looking for Nato allies, including the UK, to pay their way, Mr Johnson told journalists at the US embassy in London.

I think so, at least where I am. But I'm in a notoriously Blue state (CA) as far as most tickets on the slate.

I have heard warnings against voter apathy from Dem supporters and committees re states that are not as Blue as we are. That we cannot become complacent regarding an expected Blue Wave. That complacency is what brought us to this pass.

Our main drive in my area is to get our House Representative OUT! I do live in a Red area in this Blue state. We have a good candidate this go round and am beginning to see some good ads for her in the media.

Peace treaty Barbie and ..........Mr Colbert has the floor.

Remind me. How many bankruptcies has Trump had?

4, 5, or 6?

WASHINGTON
'One of the largest contributions to President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee in 2016 appears to have been orchestrated by a set of powerful conservative legal activists who have since been put in the driver’s seat of the administration’s push to select and nominate federal judges.'

This is fascinating on Mueller (and also rather fortifying).

I also did not realise Mueller had that Lockerbie connection (from the previous link).

Lordy.

Indeed-y.

Trump told senators today that Melania is doing well and thanked them for the well wishes.

Then he started talking about her poll numbers. He said they were really great and that he's told her not to run against him, according to a person briefed on the lunch.

On the same day as North Korea threatened to cancel summit over US-South Korea military drills, it published a rather testy statement against the US and South Korea's attention on North Korea's human rights situation, arguing that it destroys the "atmosphere of dialogue".
