    That's not a presidential speech. This is a presidential speech;

    https://youtu.be/7234e-BbMFY

    With all due respect, it may be presidential but it's not show biz. You have to sit and listen. Where are the sound bytes that compel attention? The idiot-grabbers. Where are the bits that arouse fear and hate? That tell the audience our tribe is under threat and who to blame? The rabble-rousing bits?
  • Whatever. Big story has to be the accidental revelation that Mueller has evidence Paul Manafort passed polling data to his Russian contact, in order to get it to the troll farms etc and target specific districts to have the greatest impact. So he was colluding with Russia to influence the election while he was the chairman of the Trump campaign.

    It's a pity there are no adults in the GOP to tell him he can't have everything he wants.

    Rumour is trump junior has been indicted.

    Not seen any such rumours - where have you seen this?

    Having said that, it has long been rumoured that Don Sr and Don Jr are both the subject of multiple sealed indictments, but that dates back to several months ago, so is not really 'new' news...

    Tw@tter so make up your own mind re how true it is.

    Edit: looks like I got the tense wrong.
  • Anticipatory Indictment Anxiety Disorder is the new thing on twitter I think.

    (that AIAD thing was taken from RC's twitter link.)

    So by showing it, he's now going to stop calling them the enemy of the people and the opposition party?

    Surprisingly not.
  • Seen it said on Twitter that Sean Hannity has a unique gift - he is the only person who can interview Donald Trump and not generate a single newsworthy quote from him.

    Pretty much, he will just turn round in a couple of weeks saying they are reporting fake news, likely after a piece on climate change or the like.

    He has again repeated he will pass an emergency bill to get it funded, but then hes going to pull funds from the flood defence plans for California and restoration projects for Puerto Rico.
    Homeland Security have already stated the wall will do very little if anything to help. I'd imagine once said wall/fence is constructed he will turn round and claim they are coming in from Canada and demand one along that border too.

    SINCE he was allowed on primetime network TV two days ago to lie, he's already tweeted:
    The Mainstream Media has NEVER been more dishonest than it is now. NBC and MSNBC are going Crazy. They report stories, purposely, the exact opposite of the facts. They are truly the Opposition Party working with the Dems. May even be worse than Fake News CNN, if that is possible!
    Gave an OFF THE RECORD luncheon, somewhat of a White House tradition or custom, to network anchors yesterday - and they quickly leaked the contents of the meeting. Who would believe how bad it has gotten with the mainstream media, which has gone totally bonkers!
    There is GREAT unity with the Republicans in the House and Senate, despite the Fake News Media working in overdrive to make the story look otherwise. The Opposition Party & the Dems know we must have Strong Border Security, but don’t want to give “Trump” another one of many wins!

    Just had to laugh at a piece on MSNBC, they showed newsreel footage of past presidents saying "the buck stops with me" then some one asked Trump who's fault the shutdown is, he said "the buck stops with everybody".... cowardly fool

    FBI opened an inquiry in 2017 into whether Trump was working as a Russian agent, apparently both Kushner and Flynn asked 'Russians' for an encrypted comms system to pass messages through to help with Trumps campaign, reports in US media say.
    What they haven't answered yet is if it's still ongoing.

    Twelve tweets so far from Drumpf this morning. Utterly off his rocker. Even with what's gone before, I still have to pinch myself that this is not some black, black comedy, but he really is, at least in name, President of the USA. Still. The endgame is going to be quite something.

    We have a massive Humanitarian Crisis at our Southern Border. We will be out for a long time unless the Democrats come back from their “vacations” and get back to work. I am in the White House ready to sign!
    This one in particular I bet Haiti is hanging it’s head in shame making such a fuss about a hurricane. Plus those dems always away playing golf when you need them

    Donald Trump with vice-president Mike Pence on Capitol Hill earlier this week.

    He looks hunted; Pence not so much. Maybe he should come over here for a holiday? Bit of golfing in Scotland before he applies for asylum.

    Pence looks like hes more concerned what random nonsense is going to be tweeted next.

    Its getting quite desperate now, more an more workers are going "sick" in protest at being unpaid. Id imagine a number are doing cash in hand jobs instead to keep going.
    Mean time The Canadians came to the rescue sending pizza to their ATC (air traffic controller) friends in the US. Something like 49 airports had pizzas delivered.
    Speaking of which TSA are shutting down terminals due to lack of staff.

    Its all smoothly going downhill.

    Also if he did apply for Aslyum he would start protesting about the wind farms off the coast of the golf courses and demand a wall. The threat or extremist wind turbines is something you cannot under estimate...

    Actually, Pence looks like he's concentrating on dropping a particularly juicy fart without accidental follow-through.

    He should wait till they're in the lift then say it was Trump.
