What stupid shit has Trump done today?

[Don Troooomp]

Can people remember a time when there wasn't a set of three massive fuck ups and a few scandals per week from the US president?
Before this orange bastard, any sitting president would have resigned for a tenth of the stuff Trump just brushes off and lies about. Putin has really one this game - Whichever Russian lad came up with the idea for installing an idiot in the white house must be bathing in milk while munching caviar for his contributions to Russia because Trump has fucked US politics, made the presidency look a mess, fucked up pretty much all US foreign policy, and is well on the way to destroying NATO.

I wonder if Donald Trump knows that "one" and "won" are spelt differenty.

Also it was actually the American electorate who voted for him, because he told them what they wanted to hear. Let's face it even the Cambridge Analytica stuff was more about identifying people's prejudices and then targetting them with propaganda that they agreed with.


Did the Russians seek to influence the way people voted? Probably, but one (or should that be won?) of the jobs of intelligence agencies is to gain influence for your country in other countries. The Americans, the British, the Israelis, the Chinese, the French the Russians and others all play this game.

That’s fair comment Tim in that when I first heard complaints of Russian meddling I was like “who gives a shit? The US do it all the time, they’ve no right to complain.

While that remains the case, intel agencies are also meant to try and stop it happening to their countries, a lot easier to sympathise with, yet Trump seems distinctly uninterested in the foreign psy-ops against the US. In fact he even solicited them. That’s truly rancid and dodgy whatever side of the fence one is on.

More coming out on this . . . Jordan was the slimiest of slimeball politicians, even before this came out.

‘A cesspool of deviancy’: New claims of voyeurism test Jordan denials

Multiple former wrestlers have accused Jordan, a National Wrestling Hall of Fame inductee, of being among the faculty members who turned a blind eye to inappropriate behavior by the late Richard Strauss, the university’s former athletic doctor. Strauss allegedly preyed on male students during physicals, groping them to the point of making them ejaculate, according to one nurse who witnessed it and recounted the story in a video produced by alleged victims and obtained by POLITICO.

Jordan is one of the most powerful members of the House and a potential candidate for speaker. He commands the loyalty of at least three dozen conservatives who regularly look to him for guidance on how to vote, often pulling GOP leaders to the right. He is close with President Donald Trump, who expressed his support for the Ohio Republican on Thursday night.

A Court Order Reveals The Lack Of Planning That Went Into Trump's Child Separation Policy

WASHINGTON — On Saturday, after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo finished talks with North Korean officials in Pyongyang, Kim Jong Un's foreign ministry accused the Trump administration of a “unilateral and gangster-like demand for denuclearization." It was an immediate and sharp contradiction to President Donald Trump’s rosy descriptions of his North Korea diplomacy.

The harsh statement also illustrates the risks of putting so much stock in a ceremonial summit, now that last month's meet-and-greet between Trump and Kim in Singapore is colliding with the hard-nosed reality of enormously complex nuclear negotiations.

This dissonance between fact and fancy was made clear earlier this week. After NBC News first reported that Pyongyang was in fact expanding elements of its weapons program, the president tweeted, “Many good conversations with North Korea — It is going well!” He added: “If not for me, we would now be at War with North Korea!”

North Korea Thought to Be Working on Submarine Able to Launch Nuclear Weapons

Development signals increased threat to U.S. and allied forces while raising doubts about the Pyongyang’s pledges to disarm

By Andrew Jeong, The Wall Street Journal


SEOUL—North Korea is thought to be developing a submarine capable of launching nuclear-armed ballistic missiles, a senior South Korean lawmaker said, signaling an increased threat to U.S. and allied forces while raising doubts about the regime’s pledges to disarm.

Evidence gathered by South Korea’s military suggests Pyongyang is working on the submarine on its east coast, said Kim Hack-yong, who chaired the legislature’s defense committee until his term ended a few weeks ago. Mr. Kim, who belongs to a conservative opposition party that is skeptical of dialogue with Pyongyang, cited intelligence provided last week by defense officials.

Satellite imagery reviewed by South Korean intelligence officials showed the movement of laborers and materials at the port of Sinpo, where the submarine appears to be under construction at an indoor facility, an aide to Mr. Kim said.

A Defense Ministry spokesman said he couldn’t comment on details pertaining to intelligence activities but stressed that Seoul and Washington continue to monitor North Korea’s military facilities.

U.S. officials consider Pyongyang’s submarine-launched ballistic missile program a threat because it would give North Korea a greater element of surprise in launching a nuclear strike. The U.S. Embassy in Seoul didn’t respond to a request for comment.

White Ohio family that called 911 on black boy mowing lawn calls police on him again July 4

Why the hell aren't they charging people who do this with wasting police time? An eye watering fine might help them to mind their own fucking business for a change.

The sense of entitlement just drips from these asshat neighbours.

The white Maple Heights, Ohio, couple that called 911 on an adolescent black boy for mistakenly mowing part of their lawn 11 days ago called police on the same boy once again Wednesday, the Fourth of July.

Twelve-year-old Reggie Fields, CEO of Mr. Reggie’s Lawn Cutting Service, was among the kids invited to an Independence Day party and barbecue hosted by Lucille Holt-Colden, the black Maple Heights mother and grandmother who initially hired Fields to mow her lawn June 23.

“We have always been told by the police that if we feel threatened, ‘Don’t confront these people, just call us,’” Linda Krakora said during a recent phone interview. “We’re a slightly older couple. We have a white couple in their eighties next to us. If we feel it’s going to be more of an issue to go over trying to talk to somebody, for our safety, we just call the police.”

The call Wednesday, police said, stemmed from Holt-Colden’s kids and child guests, including Reggie, allegedly slamming into the Krakoras’ fence while using a makeshift Slip ’N Slide. “The report says [the Slip ‘N Slide] caused a board to pop off the fence,” Mocsiran said over the phone Thursday. “If it’s a result of playing and there’s no criminal intent, then it becomes a civil matter.”

Reggie had never met Holt-Colden before June 23, when she saw him buying supplies at a Dollar Tree store. She hired him to mow her lawn the same day. But when Reggie, his younger brother and his two younger girl cousins — who were helping him with the job — accidentally mowed part of the Krakoras’ lawn as well, Randy Krakora called 911. Fields knew nothing of the Krakoras’ ongoing dispute with their neighbors, which began not long after Holt-Colden and her children moved in next door in October.

A kid starting a little company to keep himself going and maybe saving up for school, but some silly fucker calls the cops for nothing (twice). I know who I'd rather live next door to, and it isn't the silly fuckers on the phone to the cops.
As for your point about this being a Trump thing, idiotic racists have been around for a long time but I gather they're feeling empowered by the orange cunt.

Amusingly, like Trump you are a tad thin-skinned. I can't help thinking that someone who posts on a thread mocking a public figure should be able to cope with a little mockery themselves.

As to "arguing a point" I did attempt to do so on the post adjacent to the one to which you took umbrage.

What the fuck? It's about torturing and killing children, isn't it? Trump gets his rocks off kids being denied food (SNAP), being shot at school, being kidnapped from parents, neglected and trafficked, and now tried to undermine a resolution promoting breastfeeding to protect baby formula makers!

U.S. Opposition to Breast-Feeding Resolution Stuns World Health Officials

American officials sought to water down the resolution by removing language that called on governments to “protect, promote and support breast-feeding” and another passage that called on policymakers to restrict the promotion of food products that many experts say can have deleterious effects on young children.

When that failed, they turned to threats, according to diplomats and government officials who took part in the discussions. Ecuador, which had planned to introduce the measure, was the first to find itself in the cross hairs.

The Americans were blunt: If Ecuador refused to drop the resolution, Washington would unleash punishing trade measures and withdraw crucial military aid. The Ecuadorean government quickly acquiesced.

“What happened was tantamount to blackmail, with the U.S. holding the world hostage and trying to overturn nearly 40 years of consensus on best way to protect infant and young child health,” she said.

In the end, the Americans’ efforts were mostly unsuccessful. It was the Russians who ultimately stepped in to introduce the measure — and the Americans did not threaten them.

Thank you for pointing out my faults but you missed a large number of them so I'll assist.

66.6% of everything I say turns out to be a lie, that's 30% behind Trump.

I assume Trump or one of his mates has a financial interest in the baby milk industry, or simply got paid off to mess this up.
However, Trump could be trying to make all tits useless, thus making his status as a useless tit more acceptable.

Trump to Ecuador -- "We won't help fight gang violence if you continue to support promoting infant health."

Trump to Russia -- nothing (Trump is sitting by the phone hoping that Vlad will call him for a date)


Trump is seriously bastardizing the concept of national security.

 

[AmeliaE]

The milk formula industry has been struggling against stagnating sales in recent years, but is still worth $70bn annually. The small number of giants that produce it are concentrated in the US and Europe.

One of those giants, Abbott Nutrition, is part of the healthcare multinational Abbott Laboratories that contributed to Trump’s inauguration ceremonies in January 2017.
