Wait --- the AG has been authorized to make things TRANSPARENT!!!! EGAD, man, what is the world coming to?

He may end up making things transparent to Putin.

He may end up making things transparent to Putin.

Yes, because Putin doesn't have a CLUE what's going on in the US, because there has been absolutely no spying or collusion..... you really can't have it both ways.

But, sadly, she's losing steam.

Perhaps she needs to add a couple shots to her espresso?

He wondered aloud what journalists were supposed to do for the past two years as stories piled up about Trump and associates misleading Americans about contacts to Russians.

Eyeing the reports critically might have been a good place to start.


Which they seem to have invented ex nihilo. And in some cases, there has been no "seems" in the deliberate and malicious editing to manufacture a false narrative - it was patently obvious.


Seems that the criticism would apply mostly to the Trump anti-personality cult.

So - did the media learn anything from the debacle? Not to attribute veracity to reports from persons with a clear political objective without careful scrutiny, perhaps?
Not a chance.

What would a Brexit Party Brexit look like?
It's won the largest share of the vote and the most seats in the UK's European elections and it's very clear the Brexit Party wants to leave the EU as soon as possible.

But with many of its policies unknown and no manifesto, it's not clear exactly what a Brexit Party Brexit would look like.

The party's leader Nigel Farage says he wants a "clean-break" Brexit, abandoning Theresa May's withdrawal agreement, but he avoids using the term "no-deal" Brexit.

He wants its newly elected MEPs to play a "major role" in the Brexit negotiations but, as the Brexit Party is not in government and has no MPs in the House of Commons, that is unlikely.

While the party is offering simple solutions, the Brexit process is a lot more complex.

I guess nothing makes sense. Putin would have wanted Hillary in office and then Russia might get more benefits like the selling of nuclear fuel to Russia. Why would Putin act against Russian interests? Why would he promote a Republican instead of a Communist? This has never been explained

Boris will now slowly come to terms with a few hard facts he has not before considered.

I haven't really been following this closely, and I don't know all the politics involved, but what I'm getting from this whole fiasco is that a majority of citizens voted a year ago for Britain to leave the European Union, and the politicians are doing everything they can to override the will of the people. Is that about right?

Of course everything I know about British politics I learned from watching Yes, Minister:
