US Politics

S'fake

The music is from a school orchestra vid that went viral(ish) a while back.

Portsmouth Sinfonia - not so much a school as an orchestra who couldn't play any instruments or played instruments which were new to them.
From way back in the 70s, they last performed together in '79.

Okay.
But I will pretend that, every time Trump gets any music played for him, it sounds like this.
Or worse.

I just found out that the Prime Minister of Greenland, Kim Kielsen, is exactly the sort of alpha male that Trump likes to associate himself with. (I.e. Kelly, Mattis etc.)

Only, Mr. Kielsen runs a government with a solid Nordic welfare model and which doesn't permit private ownership of land. I say Greenland should buy the US. I'll chip in to the Kickstarter fundraiser.

Or the matter could be settled by a bare knuckle fight between Mike Pence and Greenland's previous Prime Minister; Aleqa Hammond.

Trump's Deutsche Bank loans were "co-signed by Russian oligarchs"

As much as I want that to be true and well believe it could be, I think actual documented proof is needed before that bandwagon is jumped on. too easy to discredit with loud FAKE NEWS shouts just like that.

"In terms of high-end product influx, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets" Trump Jnr 2008 - that good enough for the moment?

That’s not comparable to being co-signed for loans.

Anyone co-signed on your loan somewhat owns you and can shape your behaviour going forward - similar to how weapons contractors somewhat own MSNBC and shape Maddow’s 😱 quelle surprise.

This all does seem to be heading in the direction that a US fund manager friend of mine predicted back in 2016.

His theory, supposedly based on information that he had seen second hand, was that Trump has half a billion dollars of loans, some with Deutsche Bank but others with a Russian bank which is now state owned and that somehow, these are/were intertwined. In a nutshell, the suggestion is that Trump is literally in debt to the Russian state.

The selection of Democratic candidates for the next debate round seems to be based on the DNC cherry-picking polls?

Pence saying GFA is very important, then coming over to ROI talking about respecting UK sovereignty / BJ . Mixed messages eh?

And pink flowers everywhere courtesy of the Irish president.

The latest bit of obvious grifting revealed is US military flights from Europe making unexplained overnight stops in Scotland with planes landing at civilian airports close to guess which hotels where they then stay overnight?

He's just sacked Bolton for not wanting the Taliban in Camp David. One of the least batshit opinions Bolton has ever held.

Edit - by tweet, obvs.

the world just got a little bit safer

and by ‘a little bit’ I mean ‘considerably’, obvs

Wait until they release the next National Security Advisor from Arkham Asylum first.

Quite funny unravelling of Falwell's bullshit:
