Just by shouting it in capitals doesn't mean it's true!

He is very very desperate. Which is why he is tweeting about NATO. He'll try anything to distract.

(not worth my time copying the tweet here, he's got the facts totally wrong as usual and is talking about the 'European Military' of WW1 and WW2. I'd love to know what European Military from the that part of last century he's talking about!)

What will it take for the GOP to turn? I'm so glad the walls are closing in on Trump and co but what a heavy price the US has been paying for his election.

What will it take for the GOP to turn?

Many of them now can't.

This is what Michael D'Antonio told us back in 2016 about the way that man operates.

He doesn't so much invite co-conspirators to dip their hands in the blood, as splatter everyone in the vicinity with it. He commits so many egregious acts that even those profoundly opposed can't challenge everything.

Then when someone does challenge him, he turns round and says, "But you were complicit in A-F, so you can't complain about G."

Of course, they could complain about G. But often they feel bad about their actions and don't. Which is what the man who never feels bad about his actions trades on.

'Fake News coverage can’t change the reality that Mueller’s late Friday dump demonstrates yet again no evidence connected to President. It also indicates SDNY is asking that Cohen receive a 4 year prison sentence, longest so far, because as we have said he’s still lying.'

I cannot pretend to understand all the ins and outs and the he said/she said, and I am not knowledgeable enough about American political system to fathom all the depths - but that said, the guilt on the Orange One's shoulders is pretty bloody clear innit?

I've spent a couple of hours listening to MSNBC this afternoon. I now know it's all a storm in a tea cup. No one has proved anything. There's no evidence that could lead to Trump's conviction.

You can't indict a sitting president and yet you can't be impeached for crimes committed before you were elected. As you were ... Confused

President Donald Trump has told reporters that his chief of staff John Kelly will leave his job by the end of the year.
There have been persistent reports for several days that Mr Kelly was under pressure to leave.
Some reports said that the retired Marine Corps general's relationship with Mr Trump had deteriorated.
Mr Kelly's replacement would be named "over the next day or two", Mr Trump added.
He made the announcement as he headed to Philadelphia for an American football match between army and navy teams.

My fear all along Gump. That's why I think it's now all about making him unre-electable.

I think he could theoretically be impeached for crimes before his election IF the crimes directly affected the outcome in his favour. But it'll never happen.

Apparently the riots in Paris are a good reason for him to have reneged on the Paris agreement.
