Solid take on the whole North Korea/Trump situation from a fairly impartial writer. North Korea is doing what it always has done and Trump isnt going to change things any more than Clinton or Obama did when they tried. https://thefederalist.com/2018/03/12...th-korea-just/ |

I don't know if it should be a separate thread but the Russians using a chemical weapon on British soil seems like a big story. May had a pretty harsh statement today.

Looks like the Republicans on the House Committee on Russia are ready to follow Trump right off the cliff:

THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS, AFTER A 14 MONTH LONG IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Let me say that I don't know much about the merits of Broadcom & Qualcomm merger/acquisition and if the Trump admin really should have an issue.
However I do agree, in principle, with preventing the acquisition of key US companies by foreign companies e.g. Chinese company buying Oracle or Microsoft. Trump blocks Broadcom's $117 billion Qualcomm bid over national security - Mar. 12, 2018 Quote:

wonder if he will come forward and take acceptance of the "f&*&ing moron" quote now. Or if he has anything interesting to share with Mueller.
Yes yes no chaos in the White House.

If he wanted to keep his job, he should have brought back Obama's birth certificate when he visited Kenya.

I think it's just as likely a lot of these people bought their jobs in the Trump administration to accomplish something specific - get access to important information or people, influence some government action that will benefit their business going forward - and then they're fine to leave and be away from the microscope. |

Just yesterday: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...by-about-a-day
Due to demands in the secretarys schedule he is returning to the U.S. one day early, after concluding official meetings in Chad and Nigeria, said Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Steve Goldstein. Just the latest proove of Trump's utter ignorance with regards to diplomacy and foreign policy. So he basically sent a lame duck to the "shithole countries" to mend some fences ? I bet they are ecstatic that they just wasted their time discussing/negotiating with him and now are back to square one on whatever was achieved/agreed upon. I mean, the good thing about his ignorance to these countries is that he cares too little to bother firing/replacing the ambassadors apointed by Obama. So, glass half full maybe. China pretty much has a standing corps of diplomats, business people and technical experts in most every african country. Meanwhile, the State Department is getting absolutely gutted at every level and the US still has no ambassadors in Australia, Germany, South Korea and Saudi Arabia, among others.

I thought Trump only hires the BEST people.

I expect he'll be gracious, but Tillerson's 2 pm statement could be magical.

As if Trump cares about job performance as measured by normal standards or about the state of the State Department: Trump's Deep Cuts to State Department Budget Hurt Diplomacy - Bloomberg Then again, he did play the good soldier promoting the insanity: Rex Tillerson: state department can be cut as we will soon solve global conflicts | US news | The Guardian But then again, you gotta take the money for even more military spending from somewhere. So why not the department that is in a way responsible for preventing to have to use the military. Win-Win.

Considering everything that's already come up on Trump regarding his "love-life," I doubt a pee tape would really make a dent.
More than likely, Putin has Trump where it hurts...his wallet in some way. |

It sure is. Lamb has been up all night but Saccone is just 1000 votes or so behind now with 95% counted.

Crazy how 50.1-49.9 Lamb will mean Trump and the GOP are toast and 50.1-49.9 Saccone will mean a resurgent Trump and GOP.
I kind of miss the time when special elections would get a mention on the next night's evening news and we'd all move on rather quickly.

There are @7000 absentee ballots that won't get counted tonight, so everyone can go to bed. This won't be decided for a bit.
