Thought it might be worthwhile starting another thread. I haven't been keeping up with what's going on as there is do much happening everywhere!!
But what made me prick up my ears was an interview with Professor Lichtman who was talking about impeachment and treason.

He thinks that they are treading very close to Treason. Collusion with Russian will mean treason.

There is circumstantial proof of conclusion.

What interesting if unpleasant times we are living through.

Cartoonists are going to take him to court, too.

He's going to become even more insecure if all this happens.

I've just been watching the programme about the Royal Cousins on TV. I realise now that all the people likening Trump to Hitler have got it wrong. He's the Kaiser all over again. Full of insecurities and trying to impress people by being as loud and ostentatious as he can.

Sky News thinks this could drag on for years...

Can they make them tell the truth, though?

Grand jury been sworn in. The noose is tightening!

They seem to have a lot of powers to summon people.

Would you believe that the new Airforce One plane came from Russia?

What wall?

Another difficult day for Trump.

His hands have been tied by Congress with regard to sanctions on Russia. Congress have prevented Trump from stopping or reducing them.
A few conversations he has had behind closed doors have been leaked, including his recognition that Mexico will not be paying for the wall.

Do we really want to trade with the US?

The poem on the Statue of Liberty has no meaning, according to the White House.

The scout movement also said it was non-political and backs nobody!

whitewave Thu 03-Aug-17 10:54:43

Mum was just telling me that the speech he gave which was widely criticised to the scouts because it was all about Trump. Well apparently Trump is aware of the criticism and tweeted that the Scout movement had messaged Trump to say it was the best speech they had ever heard from a president.

The scout movement said "no such message was ever sent"

Trump says that Scottish independence will be a tragedy because Scotland will lose the British Open!!!!

I put this on the other thread. Does trump deserve two threads?
He'll certainly be trying to pardon himself if this is true.

Trump has been found to help draft the knowingly misleading statement about his sons meeting with the Russians.

He may join in in a minute Gill grin

It is really clever isn't it! We started singing this as soon as he was announced as Communications chap, but now, as he is 'escorted off the premises' it is even funnier! It is good to belt it out really loudly, with apologies to my neighbour sitting in his garden...blush

Just seen a FB post - the only man in America who is busier than the LG repair man is the one who paints the names on the White House office doors!

I think the idea is that Kelly will enforce discipline which will probably work hmm until Trump gets the hump because he feels usurped.

whitewave Mon 31-Jul-17 20:46:39

Wonder how long Kelly willl last?

This Presidency is just turning into a fiasco.

The world must be laughing
including North Korea.
