That's him! Wonder if they have any other similarities than stupid hair and an obsession with big phallic shaped objects, even with just those in common they might get on if they just give peace a chance.

True, but I doubt Obama cares muchly, given his recent $400,000 speeches.

Doesn't excuse the Donald just making constant crap up to deflect from his own failings and feed his moronic followers. Is he accountable ? Apparently not. Obama should sue, though guess he doesn't want to lower himself to Donalds level.

No, Obama just lowers himself a lot further with over paid for speeches. :rolleyes:

As usual from you it's a different day, same old claptrap. Same old negative nonsense with your difficulty with democracy and he did not make it up. Obama Administration had form when it came to spying.... do your research FFS.

Although it seems to have gone quiet at the moment, as far as I'm aware, the investigations into Russian election involvement, surveillance and illegal American citizen names unmasking, is still on-going.

CBS journalist John Dickerson recently asked Trump about the wire-tapping allegations but it resulted in the interview concluding.

Yep. John Dickerson ended it abruptly. It got a bit difficult for democrat supporting CBS when Trump asked why the Democratic party refused to let the FBI investigate their hacked computer.


It's far better to go to the source material rather than a third party view of it.

The unpredictability of Donald Trump's approach to the Middle East means the UK should no longer support US foreign policy in the region, peers have said.
A House of Lords committee concluded the UK could no longer assume the US would "set the tone" for the West's relationship with the Middle East.
The International Relations Committee spent six months working on its report.
Ministers said the UK would continue to work with international partners to achieve security and prosperity.

Pure deflection (also known as the 'butwhatabout' question) - you know, like 7 year olds do in the school playground, when asked by the teacher why they threw a stone through a window.

"butwhatabout jimmy, who was playing with the girls' skipping ropes".

The reporter asked Trump about something Trump personally had done, and Trump evaded answering by asking the reporter about something someone else, not the reporter, had done - how could the reporter answer on behalf of the Democratic Party?

btw, in the last two presidential elections, CBS donated more to the Republicans than to the Democrats...

Well, I'm interested in why the Democrats didn't allow The FBI, aren't you? I'm also interested in getting to the bottom of the Russia/Surveillance/unmasking situation, however it pans out.


Some of the Wikileaks revelations probably explains why the Democrats were shy of the FBI being involved.

Surely the interview was about Trump's first one hundred days. It wasn't meant to be Trump interviewing a TV station about another political party.
Or am I missing something?

If I recall correctly, and I could be wrong, as it's over 24 hours since I watched it and I wasn't studying it in preparation for questioning ;) that happened once right at the end of the interview, which was not ended by Trump. I remember being surprised that it did end so abruptly.


Have you actually watched the video Andrew?

Neither the democrats or the republican party are whiter then white and both need investigating but i doubt there's much appetite for that in the US both will continue relying on their die hard support to carry them through.

Investigation into potential Russian links gathers momentum
Quote:
Senate Asks Trump Associates for Records of Communication With Russians
WASHINGTON — The Senate Intelligence Committee has asked a number of high-profile Trump campaign associates to hand over emails and other records of dealings with Russians as part of its investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election and is prepared to subpoena those who refuse to cooperate, officials said.
The requests for the materials were made in letters sent by the committee in the past 10 days, said two officials with knowledge of the contents of the letters. The move is designed to accelerate the committee’s investigation, and represents a new bipartisan challenge to the Trump administration, which has sought to use Republican allies in Congress to blunt the inquiries.
