I wonder if she'll become as bitter as George Osborne. Maybe she just ought to move on with what's left of her life but some people simply refuse to accept what they see as their rightful destiny being denied them whatever the reason.

Look what happened on one of her recent book tours.... ;)

I think the woman comes across as a nasty troll. Especially when she moves onto Seth Rich which seems to be little more than a conspiracy advanced against the wishes of his family and her health. As well as confronting Huma Abedin about her divorcing her husband.

If he gives these people citizenship it will be one of the best acts he could do as President. The Democrats should give him his wall for that. It's interesting if he does indeed work with them.

Nasty trolls ah yes, we have them in every increasing numbers thanks in large part to the obsession with social media. I'm so glad I'm not part of all that.

As regards US policy towards 'immigrants' I recall some pretty horrific tales following the 9/11 tragedy in which quite a lot of people who'd been living/working in the US but lost partners in the attack faced huge problems re their immigration status and deportation. I think it's fair to say that the US system is in many ways far harsher than ours and I don't think the Democrats have changed that massively although I may well be wrong about that.

Yup. Not just them though. I find it amazing how they treated the first responders who later developing serious complications such as cancer as a result of their exposure to the dust and chemicals of the World Trade Center. It took campaigns from those involved, The Daily Show and a lot of time to pass a bill to ensure their health costs were covered. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0e292150e9994

Yes, it's a bit different from the Hollywood style image portrayed of a country which will go to any lengths to protect their own citizens. I find it odd that in some ways they go to extraordinary lengths to do the right thing but in other cases such as the 9/11 aftermath they seem to do the opposite. Go figure that out. :confused:

I'm no Clinton fan but this clip pans the depths of humanity in its tastelessness. But let's not fall into the "let's talk about Clinton instead" trap, this is a thread about POTUS.

Fortunately, Trump's negotiating skills aren't as robust as he believes so there is no need to fund the wall in exchange...though wasn't that meant to be funded by Mexico anyway? :confused:

His change of heart is not going down well with the alt-right.

'Put a fork in him. He is done,' says editor from once-loyal right-wing news site Breitbart as discussions for bipartisan deal with Democrats on DACA enrage fanbase

Can't help thinking the phrase "Put a fork in him. He is done" sounds like it should be spoken by Alan Partridge. :)

There is no trap, who was his election opponent?

Happy to totally forget about her. But she has become kinda relevant in terms if the topic again, given her new book release blaming her loss on just about everyone except herself.

Nice insight into the Trump White House.

The people of the United States wanted something that doesn't follow the normal ways and that's what they have, a White House that follows neither political or private sector norms.

I would feel sympathy for Jeff Sessions, tightening of immigration rules being his major political goal, him allowing himself to be humiliated to pursue it, and then apparently having it taken from him this week, but given how smug and self-satisfied he looked at the lectern last week I just can't.

We're about as likely to be able to forget about her as Mr Blair sadly. They just won't go away...

Somewhat strange thing to be doing in the aftermath of a hurricane but to each their own.

It's a good question, even if sarcastically asked.

So many holes in her FBI Criminal Investigation but it is not meant to be classed as such, as ordered by Obama's former Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, who ordered Comey to call it, a 'matter'. Which confused and concerned him, but not so much for him to make notes of it, like he apparently did so, when he was in the presence of President Trump.



It was reported that former FBI Director, Comey had already drafted a response, clearing Hillary, before many key witnesses had even been interviewed and the investigation had concluded, this has rang alarm bells with members of the investigation committee, how can one clear someone before all key witnesses have been spoken to?

Comey himself may face an indictment, for leaking information via a friend, to the NYT. Even if the information itself is not classified, it is a federal crime to leak information. Senators argue that while Comey may claim, he wrote the notes, the notes were written on government property, therefore are covered under the non-disclosure legal policy that government employees swear an oath to.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 
Acting Office of Government Ethics Director David Apol has 'reinterpreted' guidance such that White House aides under investigation over Russian involvement in the 2016 election may now accept unlimited anonymous donations to fund their legal expenses.

The outgoing director, Walter Shaub, while leaving the job actually stated that the passing up of his deputy in favour of Apol should raise alarm bells, as Apol had a somewhat more 'relaxed' approach to ethics than his deputy, who would under normal circumstances be the natural successor for the acting position.

Still, her emails.

Indeed. Mr Comey is in legal jeopardy. He should've not risen to the bait but waited for Mueller's investigation to reach its conclusion.
