Titled with Across in mind Wink

May all the Oaf's problems be big ones, and the events of this week at least be the beginning of the beginning of the end.

The officials do not believe the sources have been compromised or killed. Instead, they have concluded they have gone to ground amid more aggressive counterintelligence by Moscow, including efforts to kill spies.
Vital C.I.A. informants in or close to the Kremlin have largely gone silent ahead of November’s midterm elections, American officials said.

Weird idea of heroism, career crook who talks to save his own skin. But then serial killers get fan letters in jailHmm

Michael Cohen was seen leaving his apartment today. Asked if he thought he was "a hero" now, he said, “I’ll leave that up to you." Then he took a selfie with a passerby.

I don’t want to be president because you have to pay a lot of taxesHmm
Thank goodness he didn't say that to Trumpty, he would have got the full boasty, garbled rally treatment.
(Maybe it's not a fashion statement and Melania just hasn't worked out the arms go in the sleeves, duh!)

“I don’t want to be president because you have to pay a lot of taxes,” the boy sitting at the table at the children’s hospital told Kellyanne Conway just before Trump and Melania walked in.

“You know we kept open the job for the first female president? So you can do that,” Kellyanne Conway tells a girl in play area at children’s hospital in Ohio.

“This young lady says she wants to be president someday,” Conway tells Trump.

“You’ll be ready, right?” Trump says.

'Trump just thanked "the great Jim Jordan" at the Ohio Republican Party's annual dinner, adding, "Don't ever wrestle him."

Jordan is accused by multiple Ohio State wrestlers that he coached of having ignored sexual abuse that they were experiencing.'

'President Donald Trump’s lawyers and a cadre of informal White House advisers claim they’ve convinced him not to pardon Paul Manafort — but White House officials expect the president to do it anyway.'

Wall Street appears to have been pretty relaxed today.

TheClaws · 25/08/2018 02:26

Hello all, and thanks for the new thread, mini. Like Quantum, I’ve had my head in the bloodbath of Australian politics in the last few days. Our Prime Minister was deposed by a faction within his own party. (That’s an over-simplification, but the Australian parliamentary system is quite onerous and even a simple description could run for many pages and star multiple characters.) I studied Politics and I still have trouble with it.

Quantumblue · 25/08/2018 03:11

It's been a riot, hasn't it claws ? We dodged a bullet with Dutton but Scomo is still pretty bad.

cozietoesie · 25/08/2018 03:13

Or as 45 might put it - 'that Aussie thingummyjig' because if you can't understand it, what chance does he have? Smile

TheClaws · 25/08/2018 05:54

He wouldn’t bother trying to understand. Given the snap test below, what do you think he might choose?

What is the title of Australia’s principal elected official?

a. The President
b. The Prime Minister
c. Supreme Leader
d. Chancellor

More on Miller:

“He’s a good father, a devoted husband, and a loyal friend. These efforts to squeeze him to bear false witness against me are despicable,” Roger Stone said of Miller.'

Ex-Trump World Tower doorman released from ‘catch-and-kill’ contract for story on alleged Trump love child: Report

They didn't care about these families when they tore them apart and the only lesson they have learnt is “we need to be smarter if we want to implement something on this scale [again] "

'Washington (CNN) There are still roughly 700 children who were separated from their parents at the border and have not been reunified with those parents by the Trump administration, as new court filings reveal the slow pace of reuniting the trickiest family separation cases.

That figure includes more than 40 children who are 4 years old and younger
