The suzerain Trump

[Feck]

Most Trump voters couldn't even point to Russia on a world map.......ironic but sad

[Forty Two]

The US Department of State (read "Foreign Ministry") is twiddling its thumbs while Trump Bannon

I love how every Republican President is portrayed by those who oppose him as being a mere puppet of an even more nefarious ne'er -do-well who wields the true power behind the Office..... W Bush's Lady MacBeth was Karl Rove, for Reagan it was Ed Meese and James Baker, and now Trump is really a mere instrument of Bannon.... And, every Republican President is a thumb-twiddling moron, too stupid to get out of their own way, except when they are criminal masterminds, wielding hidden power for their own personal gain and aggrandizement....

It's over the ocean. Either one. Both oceans far from here.

Most people in the UK don't even know the countries that make up the UK, and 10% of your population thinks Mt. Everest is Britain's highest mountain. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2 ... -geography

They are all god fearing thumb twiddling morons. Trump just the twiddling part, as he is also a rapist.

Well it helps when said Presidents are dumber than a sack of rocks.

Sure, Trump is just keeping Bannon around because he's so decorative.

That was a rather feeble attempt to deflect from the dysfunction at State portrayed in the Atlantic article.

In Finland we called these home-Russians in the 70s. Spies, crooked politicians and Soviet contacts.

Oh, no, Steve Bannon is a mastermind super-villain, who knew years ago he would launch Donald Trump to the White House, thereby achieving his goal of US domination... given him half a chance and he'll be sending people to the ovens.

Issues with air travel today:
1 are you a Muslim?
2 do you have nail clippers?
3 Red alert: security personnel find Muslim with nail clippers. Lock down airport!

Atlantic has an article on the Russian connection. Something about Putin overplaying his hand.

The events that follow may be disasterous. I think of Putin and Bin Laden as being much the same. With a small investment and rather minimal tampering, both got spectacular results. Without Bin Laden, Bush would have been a forgettable one term president.

But we do have Trump to thank for making us aware of alt facts, tweets, the power of social media. Learn that lesson for the next election. Marshall McLuhan is finally right: the medium is the message.
