    I think Trump should be returned to his padded cell and straight jacket from whence he came before he hurts himself!

    ...and now Trumpists have two new phrases to keep blurting out, namely "Vault 7" and "Year Zero" - and both are proof that Obama tapped Trump..except there is no proof of this. None. Trump's not mentioned once in the documents.

    Where it gets even more ridiculous is their other claim, namely how the mainstream media is giving no coverage to the story. So I set a timer to see how many mainstream outlets were reporting the story, and here's what I found in that time span...

    What gets me is how WikiLeaks likely had to go through the Fallout Wiki before naming the leak. After all, if they called it Vault 108 there would only be one rational response: "Gaaaaaaaaaary?"

    Also from Planet Trump, this blatant double standard...

    Hillary Clinton uses a personal e-mail account to send sensitive material - BURN THE WITCH!!!
    Mike Pence uses a personal e-mail account to send sensitive material - HE DID NOTHING WRONG!!!

    Nice of The Independent to nick my headline:
    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...t-2017-obamacare-repeal-replace-a7618861.html
    Didn't do their research though, as there was actually a prequel:
    https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/5284

    World's Greatest Healthcare Act 2016? Coming soon: Bestest Defence Act Ever 2017 and Super-Duper Budget 2018.

  14. Changing the political tack somewhat, but this story from Abu Dhabi is quite horrendous and resurrects the question of why this type of oppression is deemed internationally acceptable. Citehs owners must be so proud!!!!

    ****ty laws. You have to respect them if you go there, though. Naive.

  16. I have lived there and the biggest issue with the 'respect the law' argument is that the Emirates are very selective about which laws they decide to pursue.... (unless in the more orthodox Sharjah, where laws have always been more strictly enforced.)
    Flagrant public sexual behaviour is one thing - but this scenario of two non-Muslims in a private relationship is just outrageous. As is the response of the South African Consulate to be honest - basically saying nothing to do with us!!

    Having already been caught in a lie about the media not reporting Vault 7, rather than admit they've been duped the Trumpists are still keeping up appearances, accusing those "Libtard" news vendors of ignoring the story.

    Guess what? Here's another fact-checker...
    MSNBC: an on air report
    CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/08/politics/wikileaks-cia-investigation/index.html
    Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/wikileaks-releases-vault-7_us_58beb674e4b0aeb52475ff05

    So for those keeping score, MSNBC, CNN and the Huffington Post are "fake news" because Trump says so, but both Breitbart and InfoWars are trustworthy news vendors even when what their stories don't stand up to the most basic of Google searches...

    George Osborne is getting £650k a year for working one day a week at BlackRock

    If you can earn that much money for a job you are hopelessly unqualified for, I better start playing Overwatch on my Twitch channel...

    Nice little earner, to go with the £786,450 he earned last year by making 15 speeches.
    Bought and paid for.
