US Politics

The way that article is written, it seems to suggest that losing the codes was the fault of an aide, and that Clinton didn't know about it? Or is that the cover-up?

Years ago I saw a claim that the "biscuit" containing the codes was last seen in a suit pocket before it was sent to a dry cleaners. Who knows that the truth is!

Ha, yes. Seems I don't know what day of the week it is today.

Which explains a lot...

You saying Gangstarr predicted the rise of Chinese contemporary art? Not impossible.

'Pennsylvania Dutch' (i.e. German...) is a thing though, and a bunch of the Midwestern states preserve a lot of Germanic traditions, but as you say they mostly don't seem to have kept the hyphenated identity in the same way that (say) the Midwestern Scandinavian immigrants have.

Unsure if this has been posted but you cant go wrong with an excel spreadsheet to provide an explanation.

For all its flaws, the U.S. has more tolerance of immigrants who preserve a sense of ties to their old country than Britain does.

Ymmv.

IME that applies more to ties with European countries than non-European.

The German American identity took a fair pounding during prohibition. German immigrants were obviously prominent in the beer industry and some prohibition campaigners used recent memory of WWI to try and make drinking associated with treason.

Good argument. Good post.

would give money to many people who did not need it

They really need to pause and reflect on this statement.

Yes - that's exactly why McConnell is now probably in favour of convicting him in the senate.

He'd get one of his horrible children to run instead wouldn't he (either if impeached for the republicans, or in his new party)?

He'd still be able to do the good bits like his rallies and keep the grift going.

Hopefully - it would be great to see the GOP rip themselves apart.

Still rooting for Joe Exotic. If it’s Trumps last move that’s beautiful

"Weasel is in the whirlybird"

when i heard this quote last night in a sleepy state just before heading to bedfordshire i thought uh oh joe what have you said .....

Biden added: "12 years ago I was waiting at the train station in Wilmington for a black man to pick me up on our way to Washington, ................... "

then it dawned on me and he finished the sentence

" ............ where we were sworn in as president and vice-president of the United States of America.

oh yeah, phew

The cunt has left the building.

been too long coming

Can Marine 1 fly as far as Moscow?

Oh, he gets Air Force 1 to take him to Florida.

That can definitely reach Moscow!

Obviously fantasy. But today would be the day for a Tom Clancy plot line.

a shoulder launched missile steams across the screen and hits the presidents helicopter, he survives but has to survive alone in the wilds without any macdonalds, as a crack team of iranian terrorist's track him, it's a race against time for the fbi ..... who get coffee and donuts before heading of to find him

No way Russia would want him. What use would he be as an asset?

Mr President; tell us about the US Military - shrug
Mr President; tell us about the US Intelligence agencies - shrug
... and so on

Trump's DJ needs a new playlist, "Gloria" again

'he looks small'
'tiny little crowd waiting for him'
'tiny, small, pathetic' CNN coverage is making me lol
no teleprompters for speech at Joint Base Andrew... eek

most of the awaiting crowd were his spawn and their hangers on

God, poor Melania.

Is any amount of money worth it?
