ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS: WHO IS THIS TRUMP PERSON OF WHOM YOU SPEAK?
Establishment Republicans have agreed on a talking point regarding Donald Trump, and they're now whispering it in the ears of elite journalists at every opportunity. The message: *Trump has nothing to do with us.* This message is being retransmitted by Tim Alberta at Politico: Looking around Trump’s inner circle, there is communications director Anthony Scaramucci, a political novice who in the past donated to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton; chief strategist Steve Bannon, who used Breitbart to try and burn the Republican Party to the ground; National Economic Council director Gary... more »
Manic Monday
*Six Months in Office* Yes, I too cringe at a lot that comes out of the White House. You know that Scaramucci was told to blaggard the other staff. Whether or not Trump approves of the filthy language that he used to describe HIS staff is something that I can't speak to. Likely it was because Mooch still has his job. The President likes that New York in-your-face sort of approach that rubs a lot of people including me, the wrong way. I think that General Kelly is an excellent choice for Chief of Staff because the whole operation seemed to need tightening up. And when I get a litt... more »

*UK: Scaring school children won’t keep them safe* Even though it’s almost 20 years ago now, I still vividly remember the moment when the young woman pulled back her sleeve and showed me the scar. The whole terrifying story was written there, just below the elbow. On 8 July 1996, nursery teacher Lisa Potts and her group of four-year-olds were enjoying a teddy bears’ picnic in the playground of St Luke’s school in Wolverhampton, when a man vaulted the hedge and began slashing at them with a machete. Seven people, including three children, were injured as a result. It could have be... more »

Aspects of 755 Americans expelled from Russia
Putin responded to the new U.S. sanctions by a move that is the mirror image of the previous, December 2016 act by the U.S. – which was still done under the Obama administration – to expel 35 Russians from the U.S. What is the mirror of expelling 35 Russians from the U.S.? Yes, it is the expulsion of 755 Americans from Russia. The reason why it's the mirror image is that after that move, the number of citizens employed by the State Department or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to work in the other country will be 455 in both cases which is "fair".
