Trump discussion

[Barney Google]

I'm afraid The World is in deep peril.

Russian Ambassador Sergey Lavrov along with China are suggesting a double freeze...

North Korea would freeze any further nuclear development and testing and the US would freeze

all military exercises in the region.

Here's the rub...

Lavrov is calling for "the one that is stronger and smarter must take the first step back from the dangerous line"

So NK should step back?

I think the Donald is really enjoying this current power trip. Look at how smug he is when he's talking about fire and fury.
He has been a laughing stock of the world since day one of his presidency, but somehow he now thinks people are taking his blustering seriously.
Hopefully he has someone on his side to talk some sense to him, and hopefully -- for once -- he listens to what other people are telling him.

The Russians are giving Trump another huge gift. Putin described Trump's behaviour as consistent with his aptitude. Pretty dead on and he must be worried that Agent Orange is dangerously in over his head here. By calling for a "double freeze" Trump escapes without having to eat his words, Kim Jon-Un can claim a small victory and we get to live another day.

As though pulled from the pages of Hans Christian Anderson's "The Emperor's New Clothes", Trump gets a daily file on how great he is.

Twice a day since the beginning of the Trump administration, a special folder is prepared for the president. The first document is prepared around 9:30 a.m. and the follow-up, around 4:30 p.m. Former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and former Press Secretary Sean Spicer both wanted the privilege of delivering the 20-to-25-page packet to President Trump personally, White House sources say.

These sensitive papers, described to VICE News by three current and former White House officials, don’t contain top-secret intelligence or updates on legislative initiatives. Instead, the folders are filled with screenshots of positive cable news chyrons (those lower-third headlines and crawls), admiring tweets, transcripts of fawning TV interviews, praise-filled news stories, and sometimes just pictures of Trump on TV looking powerful.

I think Trump plans to unleash the next generation of super laser beam weapons using North Korea as a test platform.

Trump is thankful of Putin for expelling 700+ US diplomatic staff and saving the US money.

Oh yeah, Agent Orange has gone way over the cray-cray edge...no mistaking it now...The Donald has totally lost it.

Bannon? NO! Is there another shakedown happening? Is this a convenient way to discard what has become an albatross around Trump's neck?

Especially after the lastest white supremists riots and attacks in Charlottesville?

[Barney Google]

Another piece of straw of evidence can be added to the burdening camels back in calls for impeachment of President Trump in

his failure to condemn right, white supremacy.

Tic toc...looks like ol' Bannon is the next one scheduled to walk the plank.

WASHINGTON --
Steve Bannon has resigned from his role as White House chief strategist, ABC News has learned.

A source close to Bannon told ABC News the resignation was effective Aug. 14, exactly one year after he joined the Trump campaign.

And as Whitecandle points out, walk it he did.

"No really America, our administration is not in disarray, honest!"

Here's CNN's version, note I say version, but the end result is the same:

Dropping like flies...who is next to walk the plank or jump ship?

We will find out how loyal Bannon is when he publishes his first book. I believe it will be a very interesting read.

You're a better person than I GT

I think Bannon is a snake and not interested in reading anything

He has to say.
