Can understand that one though, headphones would've messed his hair up. Man has to keep his dignity....oh wait a minute, he doesn't have any.

holystove Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Nigel Farage is a person of interest in FBI investigation into Trump and Russia (I don't think he necessarily minds being somewhat relevant again). https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jun/01/nigel-farage-is-person-of-interest-in-fbi-investigation-into-trump-and-russia Maybe some day this thread will merge with the Brexit thread.

Had to look it up after your comment Steve. Syria and Nicaragua, only 2 countries in the world said no. We will be a 3rd. Pretty terrible company to keep.

holystove Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 this is bad, but not catastrophic.. the world will not end because Trump has set in motion a procedure that will take the USA out of the Paris Agreement in 3 to 4 years. 1/ will he still be president in 3 to 4 years? 2/ his policy doesn't matter if industry doesn't follow; even US oil companies say they will stick to the Paris Accord. 3/ he has created tremendous awareness for Climate Change; with 99% of people/governements in agreement over the need to end/slow global wamring 4/ thanks to the swift response from Canada, Europe, China, the Paris Agreement still has legitimacy. 5/ Bush left Kyoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 He needs to be committed to a mental institution, for his own protection and the world's. Can't America's top psychotherapist get together prove he's not of sound mind, and have him committed against his free will. Just a thought.

markjazzbassist Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 on the eve of the Comey hearing his statement was released. He confirms the reports that Trump asked him to let Flynn walk without an investigation and to "lift the cloud" of the Russia investigation. He interfered with the investigation, let's see what the members of Congress think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 What's not fake news, though, is that the diplomatic crisis involving Qatar was the result of fake news planted by a Russian hacker. This is dangerous enough, but President Trump was stupid enough to claim credit for the whole incident. Duh! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/07/russian-hackers-qatar-crisis-fbi-inquiry-saudi-arabia-uae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 This exact incident may not lead to Trump getting impeached, but it will add to the list of reasons why he will be. I honestly think it will happen before the year is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both professional politicians, Trump is going to get a lot more latitude while GOP control both houses. Clinton aquitted, Nixon involved in verifiable criminal activity on an industrial scale and jumped before he was removed, Trumps nowhere near that yet IMO.

Stayed in office but a massive side show and black mark on his presidency. If i was the repubs: id ditch trump before the midterms or else they will get slaughtered. Let him resign and go with pence who's their boy anyways. He can right the ship for them and get them to hold ground for midterms maybe even get re-elected. Trump is a ship sinking for the next 4 years. He's done nothing and looks likely to continue to do nothing.

Right now, there's virtually nothing on TV but attack ads from each candidate, which drives me up the wall. When it comes down to it, though, despite their opinions on President Trump, Republicans will dutifully vote for their candidate (even though she's terrible). It's very depressing, but I live in hope. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it back actually Mark, I was basing it on something I read in Comey's pre-released statement; having seen much more of it now and putting that comment in context it's potentially very damaging. The guy did well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it for the first hour but thought it was a bit boring in the sense than it didnt add much to the letter than was released yesterday. I was however very impressed by Comeys opening statement. No notes, no prompter, nothing.. he spoke in a very coherent manner and didnt pause once. He came to the hearing extremely prepared.
