Ah, I thought that growing some integrity would be too much to expect.

She probably has ..........ambition. Smile No wonder 45 is lauding her.

What does this new resignation do to the average time in office in the Trump Administration?

Lweji · 09/10/2018 16:50

New candidate for the post: Melania Trump.

Well, maybe he is good at something? It would quite some accomplishment for him to have hidden that level of exceptional intellectual ability for so longWink

“Jared is such a hidden genius that no one understands,” Haley says of Kushner

Ivanka has started following a lot of defence related accounts.

Haley says that Ivanka and Jared have done a lot behind the scenes.

Hmm
lionheart · 09/10/2018 17:51

Speculation (only) that Sessions is out, Graham takes AG and Haley moves to replace him in some way.

Either that or she has served her time on earth and has been recalled to her home planet.

Spectacular wrong C&P there, lionheart.Grin

That link's to a story that the St Petersburg troll farm, now rebranded FAN (Federal News Agency), is on fire.GrinGrin

The Fontanka.ru news website cited police as saying that an unknown suspect broke the agency’s ground-floor window and threw a Molotov cocktail inside at around 3 a.m. on Tuesday.

I could see her running a troll factory. I reckon she'd be efficient. Grin

lionheart · 09/10/2018 18:22

I don't actually have a link that supports the alien recall theory.

But neither can it be disproved. Smile

There is this, of course, but unless it is the tip of a very large iceberg I can't see it would make much difference.

I'd be just a little anxious if I were Mr Pence. Wink

PerkingFaintly · 09/10/2018 18:34

I'm still gonna go with the alien recall theory, though. Like you say, hasn't been disproved.Grin

If you have access to Netflix and can view 'Dirty Money', have a look at (I think) No. 4 - cartel bank.

It put's 45's ......Wall in perspective.

AcrossthePond55 · 10/10/2018 00:27

I keep picturing Ivanka as Veruca Salt. "But Daddy, I want Nikki's job and I want it NOW!!!".

He'll nominate her. Sure he talks about nepotism but his base will 'pooh pooh' it, he'll tweet about how 'everyone' is telling him how great she'd be and how they want her to have the job, and he'll 'bow to their demand' that he nominate her.

This is just a long, slow train wreck. And unfortunately we're still on the train.

cozietoesie · 10/10/2018 00:35

Only until November. Smile
