Cornish Steve Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 A major rail line passes through our town. Last night, we noticed a huge train going by with literally hundreds of tanks. Either they're en route to a major exercise or they are headed for a port. Also, we've noticed a sudden increase in night-time air activity. The last time we noticed this, we were about to invade Iraq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39809168 The US House of Representatives has passed a healthcare bill, bringing President Trump's pledge to repeal and replace Obamacare a stride closer.The American Health Care Act (AHCA) passed with a vote to spare, after weeks of cajoling within the Republican party to muster enough support. I have no stake in this but I find it fascinating how quickly things can change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I've heard some chat about them changing the rules, whats involved in that/is it likely? they already have. the option they can use will get it passed but it has to be related to budget only and not increase the budget and also not have anything else in the bill. it goes to a parlimentarian that decides if it doesn't affect the budget (it's said it will increase the debt massively) so doubtful it passes. also it's a political nightmare to vote for it, ready made ammo to vote them out when midterms/full terms come around.

holystove Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Trump just fired the guy investigating him and his ties to Russia. Nixon all over again. Woodward and Bernstein's source was a senior FBI official outraged at Nixon's treatment of the FBI. If there are any real Trump-Russia links, Trump has now made sure they will be leaked to the press.

Cornish Steve Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Another day; another bombshell. What worries me now is an important lesson from history. When leaders of this type feel threatened, they attack a recognized enemy as a way of rallying everyone to their side. Think of the Argentinian junta attacking the Falklands, for example. So who will President Trump now attack? North Korea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holystove Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think Trump is unfit to be president of the USA, but much like I thought all the US security paranoia over Clinton emails was wildly overdone, I feel a bit same about the Trump leaks. Then again, if this is what it takes to get rid of him, go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got 2 years to turn it around and convince voters. Otherwise If this stuff stays around for years they'll get slaughtered in the next election.

Today is international day against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia, has he voiced his support yet? i'm sure there will be a prayer breakfast to address that.
