In response to one of Trump’s incoherent WITCH HUNT! tweets in the last 12 hours, Rep. Adam Schiff sent this:

Adam Schiff Retweeted Donald J. Trump

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.

Trump must be fuming. Wonder who he'll blame.

I suppose this is another test balloon like all of those released in Pruitt's wake. Brazen take and give.

Qatar. Wow.

I will post the Mail link because this won't make sense otherwise but will also wait until the more reputable outlets do their thing. I think Maddow has something.

Yes, as Lweji says, Trump/the US is proposing that NK actually give over all their nuclear weapons, plus the associated material that goes into producing them, so they can be stored in a special facility back in the States. I believe Iran’s nuclear weapons have also been stored in the same facility since that particular treaty was reached. Look how that turned out!

Anyways, it was all a huge dream of Trump’s that KJU was most unlikely to ever agree to. 1. He wouldn’t want to cede every bit of power he has. 2. Especially now he is aware how Trump views ‘deals’.

not having much time to comment at the moment, so I'll just say 'oh dear'.

Stuck between a rock and a financial disclosure form.

The truth is about to catch up to Trump. He has Giuliani to thank for it.

Also, a link from the previous article to a site with an ironic name.

TRUMP’S LIES HAVE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM

In reality, I don't think anything will happen. Sad

But I suspect Russia helped them play a con.

I'm with Lweji on this. Trump is being played by the proper dictators.... and he will never recognise that. 🤯🤯

Here is the NK statement referenced earlier in the thread. It’s very to-the-point. I bet Trump doesn’t read it. (I managed to find an image.)

Apologies if this story has been linked before, I've been a bit distracted.

Haley insists that the bloodshed was absolutely nothing to do with the Embassy being moved to Jerusalem, is she on glue??

(As an aside, being very critical of her, I can't bear to watch her do a speech. She reads every single word, is incapable of looking up whilst speaking or being able to ad lib, and a single sentence appears to be on one whole page, as she reads one sentence, turns the page, reads another, turns the page. Very irritating)

I'd be asking myself whether she's passing over anything, Roussette. Wink

lionheart · 16/05/2018 16:24

I've only read the Trump Jr transcript so far. Selective forgetting.

cozietoesie · 16/05/2018 16:27

Almost as if he'd heard someone else try that tack, eh? Wink

lionheart · 16/05/2018 16:44

It's okay though 'cos other people can fill in the details for him.

Mueller will also help. Smile

Talking of Nikki Haley...

Nikki Haley walks out of U.N. Security Council meeting as Palestinian envoy begins to speak

This was referred to in Rousette's link. God, she's awful, isn't she? Angry

As you all predicted, Trump's foreign policy flakiness and general untrustworthiness are coming back to bite him on the arse: www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/16/donald-tusk-condemns-donald-trump-transatlantic-trade-war

The threat posed by Donald Trump’s administration has been likened to that of China and Russia by Donald Tusk as he condemned the US’s withdrawal from the Iran deal and threat of a transatlantic trade war.

At the start of an EU summit in Bulgaria, the European council president offered a withering condemnation of Trump’s White House. He said: “We are witnessing today a new phenomenon: the capricious assertiveness of the American administration. Looking at the latest decisions of President Trump some could even think, ‘With friends like that, who needs enemies?’”

Minimammoth · 16/05/2018 17:33

I can’t start reading as it will tie me in knots of angst, mostly about how did we get to this state of affairs. The orange one one will just blink, and deny he knew anything.

cozietoesie · 16/05/2018 17:40

Read nonetheless, mini. Wink
