*The United States Presidential Election * (III)

The sTrumpet administration is not even 100 days and it  has managed more screw-ups than GW Bush in 8 years (invasion of Iraq excluded).

Yesterday his vindictive Bill to wind back Obama's health insurance measures was withdrawn from Congress as Paul Ryan (R) could not guarantee passage.  

The Washington Post has collected 32 memorable sTrumpet and acolyte quotes since inauguration and has been running a play-off series to determine the best quote for the early days of the administration. Readers get to vote.

My favourite is from Kelly-Ann Conniving.

I have attached the most recent article on the contest which is down to the final 8. Hilarious article and comments but of course they pale against the incredible quotes.

I have decided to subscribe to the WP because of the quality of its writing and analysis. Articles and contests like this are a bonus.

“Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated.”


He's like the dog who caught the car.

"You are correct sir"

And starts building the pipeline 5 minutes(literally) later.

Aye. I expect there will be a major campaign against and disruption of the pipeline.

Suscribe to Time horrie. They're on a crusade to see the guy impeached as soon as possible. It's fun to read and you don't feel dirty afterwards.

Urrrkh.... could not do that. Though apparently* Trump gave Time a detailed interview and expected to have his photo on the front cover. He would not have liked the result.

That 'strumpetisms' link is gold, horrie. Love the whole tennis-tournament setup and the 'seeding' of the strumpetisms

I really cracked up when I read it to the point where several recovering bones complained.

It was a great idea. Getting the readership to vote is a masterstroke. Decisions for voters will be become increasingly hard as the 'tournament" continues to the Final.

Trump vs Washington Post. You just know who the winner will be.

fake news Skully....so sad, so bad.

Are the vultures circling above Trump?

"On 27th April last year — the night that he made his first major foreign policy speech at the Mayflower Hotel — Donald Trump held a secret cocktail party at that very same hotel where he met with the ambassadors of Russia, Italy and Singapore.

Why are Russia, Italy and Singapore significant?

Well, remember the dossier of dirt on Trump that Buzzfeed released at the end of last year? It was written in the months after that April 27th meeting, and it alleged there was a deal that Trump would drop the sanctions against Russia and let them sell 19 percent of oil company Rosneft, and that Trump would benefit from this transaction.

The thing is that in early December, shortly after Trump had won the election, 19.5 percent of Rosneft was sold to unknown buyers, in a complicated three-nation deal. Who were the countries party to the deal? Russia, Italy and Singapore.

While the details of the deal are secret, the dossier implied that if Trump was elected, and let the deal slide through, he would receive a “brokerage fee” for helping make it happen. If that fee was the extra 0.5 percent on the transaction, that means that Trump may have pocketed $200-$250 million out of the transaction.

Thus, the allegation at the centre of the Mayflower Hotel Scandal is that on that night a deal was struck: The Russians would assist Trump in getting elected, and in return, Trump would drop sanctions against Russia, allowing the Rosneft deal to go through, and to sweeten the deal, Trump would receive 0.5 percent “brokerage fee”."

-----------------------------------------------------

Sure it's conjecture, but add this to Mike Flynn's request for immunity to spill on his dealings with Russia, and things look a bit murky for The Donald.

The twat and his even twattier lackie haley want to involve themselves in the Kashmir issue. Because, as we know, american mediation is a one way street to resolving issues. Should just focus his efforts on being on the golf course where he's best as president.

You wouldn't have thought they could top Nixon. Seppos are funny.

Lack of ethics aside, Nixon didn't suck.

Unlike Nancy.

Late night show hosts are having a field day with the lurching disaster that is the Trump administration. To them he is the gift that just keeps giving.

But why are they only discovering this now?

They never thought he'd get elected. But they've been having said field day since his shock win.

Islamic State says US 'run by an idiot'

Islamic State says the United States was drowning and "being run by an idiot".

In the first official remarks by the group referring to President Donald Trump since he assumed office, spokesman Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer said: "You (the US) are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye."

"...There is no more evidence than (that) you being run by an idiot who does not know what Syria or Iraq or Islam is," he said in a recording released on Tuesday on messaging network Telegram.

Battle of the Titans.

They know what they are doing.

He is good for business. By attacking him he'll be more popular at home and therefore stay longer.

Guilty of stating the obvious. Add that to the list of crimes the Islamic State whack jobs have already committed.

So the Donald has attacked Syria.
