I would now suggest the White House souvenir department to offer coins with a nuke exploding over Tehran ( make sure they spell it properly so that nobody thinks it´s Tennessee ) and President Donald sitting on a beautiful white horse gallopping , well , somewhere. Whether or not the White House keeps on selling the coins would let the world know what is going to happen.

 

George W. I seriously apologize the I have been talking badly about you and cynics like Cheney but I could not imagine it could become that worse. I am sorry.

US team in NKorea raises expectations of a Trump-Kim summit

A U.S. team was in North Korea to plan a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to President Donald Trump, raising expectations that the on-off-on meeting would indeed take place...

Well as I said before, IF this meeting does come to pass and Trump does actually, accomplish what he's said, which is peace across the peninsular and the de-nuclearisation of the whole peninsular, then he does indeed deserve a Nobel gong.

 

But, the meeting is very unlikely, to actually happen and the aforementioned peace and denuclearisation, is even more unlikely to eventuate.

 

Trump attacking some Syrians (or similar) to divert attention at a crucial juncture, much more likely.

Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America?

 

 

 

Guess which state has the highest poverty rate in the country? Not Mississippi, New Mexico, or West Virginia, but California, where nearly one out of five residents is poor. That's according to the Census Bureau's Supplemental Poverty Measure, which factors in the cost of housing, food, utilities and clothing, and which includes noncash government assistance as a form of income.

Given robust job growth and the prosperity generated by several industries, it's worth asking why California has fallen behind, especially when the state's per-capita GDP increased approximately twice as much as the U.S. average over the five years ending in 2016 (12.5%, compared with 6.27%).

It's all Trump's fault. :(

Swamp alert: Trump, Elliott Broidy, the Playmate and the Middle East Prince

 

JOE BENNETT

In this February 2012 file photo, Playboy bunny Shera Bechard arrives at the MusiCares Person of the Year gala in Los Angeles. When news broke in April 2018 that Elliott Broidy, a top fundraiser for President Donald Trump, had an affair with Bechard and paid her $1.6 million in exchange for her silence about it, Broidy resigned from his position with the Republican National Committee.

 

OPINION: The Trump presidency is living down to expectations. The man is exactly as diagnosed: sick of self-love and desperate for praise. If he gets praise, from whatever source, he rolls in it like a dog in a dead sheep. His cabinet meetings are Stalinesque, a prostration of lickspittles.

 

Trump promised to drain the swamp. It was a fine slogan. Here was an outsider coming to Washington to pull the plug. As the swamp waters sank they'd reveal the creatures that skulked there, the parasites sucking on the body politic, the slimy consultants and reptilian lobbyists, all of them drawn to the swamp by the twin baits of power and money. Exposed to daylight these creatures would shrivel and die.

 

Well ha, of course. Trump's arrival thrilled the swamp. The dark waters swirled with creatures keen to feed. Some, Trump had brought with him. Others were long-term residents. One such was Elliott Broidy. He'd been hanging around Washington for years, finding ways to make money. He'd lobbied for corrupt governments. He'd been paid through the sort of Cypriot banks that money launderers favour. He'd been convicted once of bribery but had turned informer to stay out of prison. Over the years he'd made a fortune.

In this February 2008 file photo provided by the Raoul Wallenberg Committee of the United States, Elliott Broidy poses at the group's gala banquet in New York. Broidy, a top fundraiser for President Donald Trump, worked throughout 2017 with a senior adviser to the crown prince of Abu Dhabi to run a secretive campaign, trading lobbying against Qatar for hundreds of millions in defense contracts from the United Arab Emirates.

 

The Republican Party, the party of law and order, was so appalled by Broidy's swampy record that they appointed him deputy finance chairman of their national committee. And alongside him on that panel of virtue they put Michael Cohen, now famous as the president's part-time lawyer and full-time fixer.

 

A month or so ago the FBI raided Cohen's offices, took all his records. A few days after that, a story broke that Elliott Broidy had had an affair with Shera Bechard, a Playboy model. He'd impregnated her and then paid her $1.6 million to have an abortion and shut up.

 

Interestingly the deal had been brokered by Cohen, who'd brokered a similar deal between Trump and the porn star Stormy Daniels. The pseudonym that Cohen used for Trump was David Dennison. The pseudonym he used for Broidy was also David Dennison.

In this May 2017 file photo, President Donald Trump shakes hands with Abu Dhabi's crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in the White House in Washington. Emails obtained by The Associated Press between business partners Elliott Broidy and George Nader reveal that the pair was working with bin Zayed in a lobbying effort to alter U.S. policy in the Middle East.

 

Even more curiously, within a day or two of paying off Ms Bechard, Broidy secured a one-on-one meeting with Trump, a priceless thing for someone who touts their influence to foreign clients. And only a few days after that, most curiously of all, Broidy's firm secured a $600 million contract with the United Arab Emirates. And it has since gone on to secure US defence contracts worth millions more.

 

Now, several American journalists have noted that the story of Ms Bechard's pay-off makes no sense. Broidy is not a public figure, so $1.6 million is a vast sum to pay merely to keep a story from his wife. After all it took only $130,000 to silence Stormy Daniels. Furthermore Broidy has no history of sexual dalliance.

 

One who does have a history of sexual dalliance, however, and a proven taste for Playboy models, is Trump. So the story makes far more sense if it was Trump who had the affair. When Cohen's offices were raided Trump knew the story would emerge and feared that the abortion would cost him the support of evangelical Christians.

 

So he sent out his fixer to find a fall guy at any price. Cohen tapped his fellow committee member and promised him wealth beyond his needs or dreams if he'd only confess to the affair. And thus Trump wriggled clear. Is that how it was? Your guess is as good as mine. Mine is yes. And thus the world goes round.

That's a bit stupid Cav

 

 

 

 

 

Which shows the basic ( well one of the basic problems ) the Donald-supporters seem to have, as much as the German AFD rightwingpeople by the way : believing any garbage they find somewhere without even thinking of doublechecking the background. Which is what the free press has been made for, but that again is fake news as we learn.
