... not only that, he’s threatening treason charges on those who investigated him.

Hand clenching rather than fist bump.

Was he afraid to show that his hands were smaller than the Queen's?

So. some of the party have been on the balcony and Mnuchin took a selfie.

Trump (apparently) nodded off during the speech made by HM at the banquet ....

Whosorrynow · 03/06/2019 23:47

Oh my god that speech, how self-indulgent of him to drone on and on for so long 🙄

Whosorrynow · 03/06/2019 23:51

How on Earth does a woman her age manage to speak so strongly with all that weight on her head and around her neck all that bling must weigh a tonne 😲

PerkingFaintly · 04/06/2019 00:31

Well, Trump is weak and feeble of course.

And the Queen's only 93 so should cut the poor old man some slack.

I know I’ve been absent; I needed a break. (My husband also broke his leg, so I’ve been busy!)

Hillary Clinton has spoken ...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the president is not above the law.

Kushner really didn’t trouble to cover up his fallibilities in this interview. This is just one of the crushingly wrong answers he gave without blinking an eye.

Wrong answer. And a revealing one.

Asked if he'd call the FBI if it happened again — if he got an email offering help from the Russian government — Kushner said: "I don't know. It's hard to do hypotheticals."

GOP lawmakers discuss vote to block Trump’s new tariffs on Mexico, in what would be a dramatic act of defiance


www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/citing-mexico-tariffs-threat-lawmakers-say-n-american-trade-deal-is-in-peril/2019/06/03/73c4eaac-863c-11e9-a491-25df61c78dc4_story.html?utm_term=.ee876fcf4282

Congressional Republicans have begun discussing whether they may have to vote to block President Trump’s planned new tariffs on Mexico, potentially igniting a second standoff this year over Trump’s use of executive powers to circumvent Congress, people familiar with the talks said.
The vote, which would be the GOP’s most dramatic act of defiance since Trump took office, could also have the effect of blocking billions of dollars in border wall funding that the president had announced in February when he declared a national emergency at the southern border, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the talks are private.

Senate unanimously passes bill to deny entry for individuals who interfere in US elections hill.cm/ReCKPta

Except that the majority probably won't accept certain individuals interfered with elections.

Russia has informed us that they have removed most of their people from Venezuela.

Never mind CIA's advice or anything. Let's just forward news from Russia.
He's not even getting intelligence briefings, is he? Except those relayed by Putin.

Whosorrynow · 04/06/2019 11:21

he makes no pretense, he lets us all know, Trump is just a mouthpiece for Putin

MerdedeBrexit · 04/06/2019 11:40

A little light amusement.

Blimp plus Trump toilet.

I know the blimp is a pleasing distraction but look here:

'London part of trip is going really well. The Queen and the entire Royal family have been fantastic. The relationship with the United Kingdom is very strong. Tremendous crowds of well wishers and people that love our Country. Haven’t seen any protests yet, but I’m sure the....

....Fake News will be working hard to find them. Great love all around. Also, big Trade Deal is possible once U.K. gets rid of the shackles. Already starting to talk!'

We all know this means trading actual sovereignty as equal partner among 28 for subservience/dependence. The shackles lie ahead of us. He looks after America first. This is not going to be to our advantage.
We don't want to be his vassal? Ditch Brexit. Completely.
