    Here is the former vice president of the European Commission condemning Russia for the Salisbury attack

    Anyone heard so much as a peep from our so-called ally on the other side of the Atlantic yet?

    A married Senate leader has just resigned after he was filmed kissing a female lobbyist in a bar.
    His name? Bill Dix! <laugh> Don't kiss Dix in public, people!

    What is it with politicians with easy punchlines in their names? First it's Anthony Weiner sending photos of his namesake to various women, now it's Bill Dix.

    Meanwhile, in other other bit of today's Tory sleaze, the Tory drugs minister Victoria Atkins banned cannabis for medicinal use in the UK - and then granted husband Paul Kenward a license to grow cannabis for medicinal use in the UK to be sold abroad.

    Er, the second part of that's probably accurate, though...

    US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appears to be the only high up official in their administration to blame Russia for the poisoning in the UK.
    He's just been fired and hasn't been told why.

  8. To be fair, his days were numbered after he called Trump a moron!! <laugh>

    However, with the latest two appointments, Trump now has a full house of sycophants to do his work. Well at least until the next one screws up.

    The fallout from Tillerson could be interesting. I imagine confirmation of the ‘moron’ quote will be first on the list. After that, I would think that there may be a few more revelations from inside the State Dept.

    There's nothing left of the State Department. They gutted it.

  10. Cannot recall a previous Administration that managed to destroy the FBI and SD in the space of a year. Good work <laugh>

  12. It's all happening...... Escorted from the WH with allegations of financial impropriety - 3 minutes later gets appointed to Trump's campaign team.... Can this get any more surreal? <doh>

    He's being investigated for serious financial crimes that are unrelated to Trump, apparently.
    So many crooks.

    Putin v May is a complete mismatch.
    KO in the first I think.
    Will make Golovkin v Brook look like a contest.

    It would make Christians vs Lions look like a score draw.

    On that subject, the Tory trollitariat are trying to put across the idea that Jeremy Corbyn didn't condemn Russia "enough" for the Salisbury attack...or, if you prefer to read between the lines, they're obviously rattled by his pointing how ludicrous it looks when the Tories try and say that they're going to clamp down on the Russians when they're accepting hundreds of thousands of pounds of their money for questionable purposes that they can't quite explain, something which Corbyn happened to bring up knowing full well there was no way the Dire Leader could non-answer her way out of that one.

    Waffling gargoyle Nigel Farage thought it was a bright idea to use one of the rare occasions he bothers to show up for EU Parliamentary meetings to claim that the UK could get a trade deal with the US within 48 hours.

    By complete coincidence, within 48 hours of Rex Tillerson being the only member of Team Trump to say anything close to condemning Russia for the Salisbury nerve agent attack, the Orange Overlord jettisoned him from his inner circle in much the same way a ****er tosses away a tissue once they're finished using it for its purpose.

    Just a thought, Nige: maybe your knight in shining armour is an escaped mental patient wrapped in tinfoil.
