US Politics

Yeah, we need some relief. Shake it off, people.

Having not read the report, I nonetheless assumed it was BS. Because that's my natural response to things now, I suppose. The news about the ex-MI6 guy going into hiding, however, has sort of made me rethink the entire thing.

I like the detail about him asking his neighbour to feed his cats.

Ugh, just spent 10 minutes on infowars.com. Jesus. What a load of bat shit insane pish.

If Putin goes near his fucking cats...

"...erotic Trump fan fiction..."

um...not 100% sure it's fan fiction

Can you imagine being the neighbour looking after the cats now. Must be thinking,

"How the hell did I get dragged into this".

If I were him, I'd be avoiding sushi for lunch.

It was probably the cats all along.

Is the 2017 version of borrowing a cup of sugar.

"Hi, I work for MI6, and am part of a conspiracy to usurp a Billionaire psychopath from the highest office in the world. I have to go away now, could you please look after Arthur for me?"

"Maybe don't eat anything from the fridge".

All investigators need a cat, and neighbours to look after it.

You're saying, then, that their brand of journalism is piss poor?

Are you implying that the person making such claims is a bit of a pissant?

So which genius thought it would be a good idea to design an 'Office of the President-Elect' logo that from a distance looks like a 'No Entry' sign?

Marine Le Pen at Trump Tower.

fuck.

Fascists love to stick together.

Trumps style is a leaf straight out of the Rob Ford book.

Also, hold the front page:

What would we do in all this without Bono's, erm, input?

Well, I'm sure people all over the world are prolapsing from the excitement of being able to bathe in the warm glow of Bono's next stream.

China being a bit upfront.

War. Huh.

Interesting point of view from a Russian journalist on Putin's press conferences

And he links to further information on Russian press conferences

I can easily imagine people having to turn up to Trump press conferences with placards...

"After just reading that Trumps team has told the current head of the National Guard (he is in charge of all security for the inauguration) he is fired as of 12 Noon in Jan 20. Why would they do that? At the risk of sounding like an alarmist I'm starting to wonder if they are planning some kind of bizarre hostile government takeover. All trump's security are Blackstone mercenaries; All US ambassadors recalled effective Jan 20. Commander of the National Guard out at the moment trump is sworn in; head of our Nuclear regulatory agency out on Jan 20 with no replacement....and the beat goes on. What the hell is going on???"
