5. Have fun

:wave:

Sounds about right. That apology sounded like it was written by a lawyer. If he was really just posting the hate stuff for fun and to get a reaction, he was very convincing.

200 page briefings? Out. As I predicted, tweet length sentences it is.

And no agenda.


(I wouldn't have a routine monthly meeting with a client without an agenda, but that's me...)

HanA-holeSOlow is a HERO!

We all need more people posting stuff to make wars just get laughs and likes to make themselves feel 'better'...

We need the PROTUS and all of the right-wingers making lies up about his age just to push their agendas...

And then GILSAN and his cronies can spread the BS memes...

You mean "affecting", not "effecting."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Obama surrounded himself with people with experience and occasionally listened.
What "team?" We have virtually no state department, for one thing. Or did you mean "Kush?"
if you're going to meet with someone and someone with more insight into how that person thinks and acts is willing to give you advice you'd be a fool not to at least listen...

Oh. Right...

Offering in good faith to share valuable experience or insight is hardly "condescending".

This is objectively incorrect. We do have a $20 trillion+ debt. State has downsized and has positions to fill but as Tillerson said, 'Show Me Your Results and I'll Tell You Your Commitment'

People like Ben Rhodes where woefully unqualified micro-managers.

Nikki Haley got her July 4th messed up.

The overreaction to an otherwise normal, everday tweet is nuts.

Last month, the war in Afghanistan was covered for less than 5 minutes on major network evening news.

Day 4: CNN has now spent as many days on Trump's WWE gif as it did on the Scalise assassination attempt.

Give it a day or two and they'll be back playing that old broken record again: Trump/Russia

Now Reddit is riled up and they're doxing CNN journos.

Fail to see how posting aspects of the history of Africa and the issues it faces now due to climate change considering Trump's position, is off topic and needs deleting?

The fact is, if the history was one of aiding, helping, kindness, rather than brutality, torture and murder - Africa would be a different place today.

The Americans as a collective are still as greedy, if not even more greedy than ever.

So dolt45 starts out his visit to Poland

• Downplays Russian interference, says we don't even have as many security agencies as reported to have said it happened. (A while back someone on this thread expressed the same doubts and I listed them all.). Way to look strong - contradict and diss your own IC.
• Claimed he can negotiate "contracts" on behalf of the US, only to be corrected by the Polish prez. Awk-ward! (Companies can, governments can't)
• Blamed Obama for a bunch of things
• Brought up election results yet again. Bragged about polish Americans voting for him
• Attacked the free press again and again. And North Korea.
• Once again blasts fellow NATO members claiming they owe money. Way to piss off our allies.
• Suggests we may not continue troop presence in Poland. How reassuring (to Vlad.)

Hope they manage to get an adult in the room when he talks to Putin or he's gonna get owned. Fiona Hill, maybe?

Fiona Hill, maybe?

Who is Fiona Hill?

 

[johname]

Fiona Hill "is a British political adviser. She served as Joint Downing Street Chief of Staff, alongside Nick Timothy, until her resignation following the 2017 general election"

But this is probably more it

Who is Fiona Hill?

If he insists on doing this meeting with Putin one on one, he's gonna get pwned. Bigly.

Ironically, it looks like the hotel mogul waited too long to book a room in Hamburg - reports that all luxury hotels are booked by other G20 participants and they're not sure where he's staying.

He has no hotels in Germany.

On a more serious note the director of government ethics just resigned. Of the officials he led, he said:

"They are committed to protecting the principle that public service is a public trust, requiring employees to place loyalty to the Constitution, the laws and ethical principles above private gain."

Hmmm...
