It’s the name, “George,” which really wins the argument.

Not sure it fits here, but this is a strange story about government funds being used in an unusual way: Navy reopens criminal probe into unauthorized police force at Norfolk shipyard

Trump revealed the list of five advisers -- Keith Kellogg, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Walid Phares and Joseph Schmitz -- in a meeting with editors and reporters at the Washington Post.



ok ok, from the meeting with Washington Post where he questioned if NATO was useful:
"Walid Phares, who you probably know. PhD, adviser to the House of Representatives. He’s a counterterrorism expert," Trump said. "Carter Page, PhD. George Papadopoulos. He’s an oil and energy consultant. Excellent guy. The honorable Joe Schmitz, [was] inspector general at the Department of Defense. General Keith Kellogg. And I have quite a few more.


it's amazing how stupid they all are; Papadopoulos used Skype for some of his crap :lol:

this is the audio of Trump name-checking 'George'

This is my favorite part. Defense attorneys are 100% known for their obligation to true public statements.

Smart from the attorney to stay in the good graces for the eventual pardon.

the ongoing Kenya crisis:

He won 98% of the vote with turnout at just under 39% - less than half that recorded in August's vote, according to the election commission.

The opposition leader, Raila Odinga, pulled out of the re-run and urged his supporters to boycott it.

Mr Kenyatta was also declared the winner in the August vote, which was annulled because of "irregularities".

The unprecedented decision from the Supreme Court cancelling the result did not attribute any blame to President Kenyatta's party or campaign.

Mr Kenyatta, who is now set to serve a second term, said if the new results were challenged in the courts he would accept the outcome.

"Those who are going to ask me: 'Are you going to engage in dialogue?'...Let them [the opposition] first and foremost exhaust all their constitutional options," he said.

Appealing for calm he said "your neighbour will remain your neighbour despite the political outcomes".

About 50 people are reported to have died in violence since Mr Kenyatta was declared the winner of August's election.

News of his victory in the re-run triggered minor skirmishes on Monday between police and a handful of Mr Odinga's supporters in opposition strongholds.

Mr Odinga had wanted the repeat ballot to be held at a later date, but a bid to delay the election re-run fell apart after only two of seven Supreme Court judges attended a hearing last week.

Though Trump's approval ratings have to be pretty close to their basement (most recent Gallup tracker had him at 33, and that poll only included the indictment news, not who was specifically charged and for what) right now, I wonder if in the next week we don't see an outlier poll with a sub-30 approval rating.

Saw a 'Donald Trump' approved message calling on Democrats to work with him to approve health care. Showed obstructionists with sort of an electric sound between faces. I think I may have missed the first one, but it had "boogiemen" Nancy, Chuck, Bernie, and recent entry cowboy hat wearing Frederica Smith Wilson. Just faces flashing on the screen in stark B&W. I wholly expected it to be like Great American PAC behind the scare tactic laden message, not a DJT authorized this message.

Just re-adding because it was bottom paged.

Phan as an aside, you need to put " " around the person who is speaking for it to be formatted right.

If Kelly is the double speak guy people want him to be, deftly bring up messaging that is more moderating, this this has a different meaning if it is to foreshadow a crisis:

the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War, and men and women of good faith on both sides made their stand where their conscience had them make their stand.


But it is not, and if the intention is that it is too subtle while being wrapped in hot potato 'save the monuments' rhetoric.

The real Russia story. Everything bad is DjT's personal "not it" of a shot scatter of the general tag of DEMS, meaning both political opposition AND your neighbors who might have one of thopse first amendment problems of having a differing opinion.
