The Trump-Putin Summit in Helsinki, coming so soon after Trump’s ally-crumbling display in Britain and at the EU, is still sinking in. Let’s just say: he’s in all kinds of shit. All the kompromat.

'Breaking: Donald Trump conspired with Michael Cohen to pay off multiple other women prior to Election Day in 2016. They were also concerned about a pregnancy. Cohen has evidence and info in his possession and it must be released to the public. Now!'

Meanwhile, if 45 is looking for a distraction, he can go after Iran.

C.c. God to Mueller - Keep up the good work:
“Here’s a sober warning from God’s Word, ‘What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, & what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs’ (Luke 12:3),” Graham tweeted.

Rudy Giuliani on CNN says that Cohen lies all the time: "There is no doubt in my mind that he is just not credible."

@kaitlancollins
If John Kelly entered the West Wing with an iron fist, Bill Shine has taken the opposite approach, quietly observing the power structure first. But multiple sources close to Shine say there is no doubt he will make his mark when he feels the time has come.

Attn. Mr. Colbert:
'After the President complained about the television lighting during speeches, suggesting it made his hair glow, Shine worked with aides to develop alternate set-ups. He also recently had aides install neutral-density filters on two windows in the Cabinet Room in order to modify the sunlight ahead of a video recording.'

'While Trump allies are reportedly developing tactics to “bury” Cohen, Cohen’s team isn’t that threatened, mocking Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani and other associates as “the gang who can’t shoot straight.”
“When you’ve got truth on your side, you’re not afraid of anything,” Lanny Davis told The Daily Beast. “So what are they afraid of?” '

Korea remains: Pyongyang returns US troops slain in Korean War
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-44976947

It is believed that 55 soldiers have been returned this time but their remains will need to be forensically tested to ensure they are indeed slain US troops - it's possible that the identification process could take years.

Roussette · 27/07/2018 08:19

Y'see... that's the difference between Obama and Trump Perking.

On the bones. Trump has been tweeting madly about how wonderful he is getting these remains back to the US.

I am just imagining if Obama had been POTUS. No way would he have celebrated. He would wait until they'd been tested. He would've spoken with caution about the transfer of remains, knowing what NK is like.

Twitterr has been going mad overnight with the Cohen news. Various sources are talking that things are now going to move fast.

PerkingFaintly · 27/07/2018 08:33

Oh I see.

Franklin Graham's tweet about ‘What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, & what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs’ (Luke 12:3)” is NOT a warning to Trump... but to critics of Trump.Grin

As he orders them NOT to do any proclaiming from the roofs of the words Trump said in the dark.Grin

He tops it by reminding them that regardless of the judgement of man, god knows every word and thought and will judge in truth and righteousness.Grin

Not very self-aware, is he?

And Trump the great problem solver by Trevor Noah.

Just as long as he created the problem.

Lack of self awareness seems to be a common thread in the trumpiverse, Perking Smile

And that's the problem with using Bible quotes as a weapon, they are a double edged sword.

Speaking of lack of awareness - I posted that 'Beast' Cohen link twice, thought it looked familiar Blush

lionheart · 27/07/2018 11:34

They are trying to spin it as 'opposition research' so nothing to see here.
