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.

Pics of El Pres' notes from yesterday. As well as adding the 'no colusion' (sic) bit, he crossed out 'and anyone involved in that must be brought to justice'. Wonder why? Hmm

"..... he really smells like an agent of the Kremlin." Pity so many in the trumpiverse have no sense of smell.

So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki. Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting. We got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match. Big results will come!

Lweji I did see a 'How very dare you?!' sign at the protest march. Figured that must have been a mumsnetter.

That is, indeed, a fine and apposite word.

He is very, very odd, ohmy, even by Trumpy standards.

Perhaps he is showing signs of ill health, he will need —to be heavily sedated— a period of rest, before being medically assessed —sectioned— . He might need to resign for health reasons.

I've just read the Kushner court papers lion posted. Now, I only know about the serving of subpoenas from my epic history of watching Law and Order in all it's incarnations (Criminal Intent my fave due to Vincent D'Onofrio). The servers are agents of the court, surely? So what is the Secret Service up to? It's not their job to protect Kushner from the legitimate procedures of the US justice system. And, this roundabout of Kushner avoiding service is a farce. Makes the wannabe princeling look as if he thinks he is above the law.

Trump explicitly questioned defending our NATO allies last night on Fox News. What more does the Republican Party need to hear in order to take action? This is happening right before our eyes: Trump is green-lighting Putin for more aggression.

The Grauniad has taken up the Queen's brooches story I linked to yesterday, but those commenting are calling it fake news

Even Carlson had to bring him back to NATO after his derail to China and tariffs.
And Montenegro have very aggressive people?

Sen John Kennedy on CNN just now. Apparently, if the darn Ruskies get about intaferiating agin in them thar elections Trump will give em a darn good ole whuppin. Just like the last time, then Hmm Bloody hell, how do these ejits get elected? He'd take top prize for gum flapping. He'd be more productively occupied sitting.on his back porch chawing baccie.

ohmymimi · 18/07/2018 13:43

Bolleaux, see my comments above about Kennedy. Gum flapping is about it for them. Spineless selfserving wastes of space.

BolleauxtoBankers · 18/07/2018 13:54

That Senator John Kennedy is no relation to the East Coast Democratic dynasty, I take it?

North Carolina Republicans’ Latest Judicial Power Grab May Have Backfired Spectacularly
GOOD, comeuppance deserved after these shenanigans:
'First, they added partisan markers to the state Supreme Court ballot so no Republicans would accidentally vote for a Democrat. Second, they abolished judicial primaries for both parties on the theory that a free-for-all in the general election would benefit Barbara Jackson, the Republican incumbent up for reelection in 2018. Jackson, Republicans assumed, would draw no GOP challengers, while Democrats would compete against each other for the spot, canceling out Democratic votes.
Third, Republicans ensured that, this time around, the Democratic state Supreme Court candidate, Anita Earls, would appear last on the ballot. Here’s how: In February, Republicans hatched a plan after a state agency held a random drawing to determine the order of candidates in legislative primaries. It selected the letter “F”—meaning that candidates whose last names began with that letter would be listed first. Then came G–Z, and finally, A–E.
The agency was scheduled to hold another drawing for the general election. But the legislature quietly canceled that drawing and applied the primary rules to the general election ballot—including judicial candidates. Thus, candidates with a last name beginning in E would be listed last in the general election, too. The last-minute change was almost certainly designed to ensure that Earls, the Democratic candidate, will be listed last. This so-called “position bias” could detract from her vote total, and, in a close race, tip the election away from her.'
