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.

Giuliani is used to being treated as a 'hero' - he doesn't realise that he's living in a New Age.

I haven't read the book, but not everyone agrees or sees Rudy as a 9/11 hero.

Trump Tells Macron the U.S. Will Withdraw From Iran Nuclear Deal

It's not a very good idea to pull out of a nuclear deal with Iran just ahead of talks with North Korea to try to get it to denuclearize. It reinforces the idea—set in Ukraine and Libya—that you can give up your nukes but the US will do whatever the hell it wants anyway.

This made me laugh. I had visions of the lawyers training trump to talk like father Ted had to with father jack.

Yes!
No!
That would be an ecumenical matter!

Nancy Pelosi has a simple message for Democrats running for Congress this fall: “Just win, baby.”

The House minority leader said Democrats running in conservative House districts across the country should do what they must to win – including running against her.

Keep the faith.

damn it.

Trump withdraws US from nuclear deal, signs EO on camera.

All might not be lost apparently:

DH and I went on holiday to Iran just after the nuclear deal was signed - the people we met were really optimistic about improved relations with the US and the economic opportunities it could lead to. But yet again 45 just has to undo everything 44 did

(Would highly recommend Shiraz and Esfahan to visit, though of course it's a dry holiday, no to be had)

Fuuuuuuuuuuck. Is there a new petition to stop this person inflicting himself on us the 13th?

Michael Cohen Puts Up Family Apartment Against Bank Debts

He really lives in a different dimension doesn't he?
For the past few weeks all his allies have begged him to keep the deal going. Including his bestie Macron, in a speech to CONGRESS.
And yet he stood there and happily announced that his allies agreed the treaty was bad, that the Israeli so-called intelligence proved it etc etc etc
All the while crazy Bolton standing in the background.

This makes me so angry. Americans are stupid enough to vote for this dangerous crimimal clown, why should he be allowed to fuck up the rest of the world?
All this because of a fucking bowl of chips on his shoulder over Obama...

There are few issues more important to the security of the US than the potential spread of nuclear weapons or the potential for even more destructive war in the Middle East. Today’s decision to put the JCPOA at risk is a serious mistake. My full statement: (link: www.facebook.com/barackobama/posts/10155854913976749 )
