We need to talk about Donald: cursing and swearing allowed

President does not understand trade imbalance. It does not come from the treaties. It comes from wages etc.
CNN
"The current trade imbalance it not acceptable," Trump said. "I do not blame China, or any other country, of which there are many, for taking advantage of the United States on trade. If their representatives are able to get away with it, they are just doing their jobs."

That was funny. I think it should become a yearly event - we could all do with a bit of gestalt therapy now and then.

Lied for Trump. Of course he was there for Trump and any contact with Russia he could make.

After the plea agreement was made public last month, Trump sought to distance himself from Papadopoulos, tweeting that “few people knew the young, low level volunteer named George.”

But the “low level volunteer” made several trips overseas throughout 2016, purportedly on behalf of the campaign, making appearances where he was introduced as a Trump adviser.

In April, he traveled to Israel to speak at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, an appearance arranged by the former Israeli ambassador to Greece. In May, he met in Athens with the president of Greece. In September, he met with officials at the British Foreign Office in London.

During inaugural festivities, Papadopoulos met with advocates for Israeli settlements, telling them “We are looking forward to ushering in a new relationship with all of Israel.”

Leaked documents and public filings show Ross holds a stake in a shipping company, Navigator, through a chain of offshore investments. Navigator operates a lucrative partnership with Sibur, a Russian gas company part-owned by Kirill Shamalov, the husband of Putin’s daughter Katerina Tikhonova.

Oh....my.... god!

He has some investments in some companies or investment vehicles which have some shares in a shipping company called Navigator. Navigator is in a contract with Sibur which a a Russian gas company. Sibur is "part" owned by Kirill Shamalov who is married to Putin's daughter. Wow.

If the article in the Guardian was written about me, it would be "leaked documents show that 42 holds a stake in an oil company ExxonMobil, through his Scotttrade Account, and ExxonMobil is in a lucrative partnership with Saudi Arabian oil companies and has inked deals with Russian. Those Saudi companies are part owned by the brother of Osama Bin Laden, Salem bin Laden, and the Russianh oil companies are part owned by several members of Putin's family!"

Traitor!

I have no pity for their remorse. Only empathy for the people they fucked over.

Data firm that worked for Trump asked WikiLeaks to share hacked emails

The chief executive of Cambridge Analytica has confirmed that the UK data research firm contacted Julian Assange to ask WikiLeaks to share hacked emails related to Hillary Clinton at about the time it started working for the Trump campaign in summer 2016.

Speaking at a digital conference in Lisbon, Alexander Nix said he had read a newspaper report about WikiLeaks’ threat to publish a trove of hacked Democratic party emails, and said he asked his aides to approach Assange in early June 2016 to ask “if he might share that information with us”, according to remarks published by the Wall Street Journal.

Assange, WikiLeaks’s founder, has already acknowledged the approach by Cambridge Analytica and said WikiLeaks rejected the request. In Lisbon, Nix reportedly agreed that the overture had been rebuffed.

“We received a message back from them that he didn’t want to and wasn’t able to, and that was the end of the story,” Nix said at the Web Summit conference, according to the WSJ. He called the exchange “very benign”.

However, the contacts between Cambridge Analytica and WikiLeaks are of interest to investigators looking into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. The documents published by WikiLeaks in the summer of 2016 were later determined by US intelligence agencies to have been stolen by hackers working for Russian intelligence....
