I'm starting to think the press conference was to run interference for the Rex Tillerson confirmation hearings.

Choice comments include 'Saudi Arabia isn't a a human rights violator' and 'Tax returns are private, I'm not handing them over.' .

I think Tillerson is the one nominee that is most likely to be rejected. Rubio isn't up for reelection 2018, neither is McCain or Graham. All three have expressed reservations about confirming him, and have little to worry about with Trump threatening to primary them as retaliation.

Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner 'died in Syria squalor'

quote:

One of the world's most wanted Nazi war criminals died in 2001 aged 89 after spending more than a decade incarcerated in a dilapidated Damascus basement, a French magazine has said.
The Revue XXI magazine reported that Austrian-born SS commander Alois Brunner spent his last years living in squalid conditions.

It said he remained a fervent anti-Semite right up to his death.
Brunner is accused of deporting more than 128,000 Jews to death camps.

He was in charge of the Drancy internment camp outside Paris where Jews rounded up in France were held before being sent to the death camps. An estimated 345 children were among his victims.
For many years there has been uncertainty as to whether Brunner - born in 1912 - is still alive, although the chief investigator pursuing him told the BBC in 2014 that he believed Brunner died in 2010 in Damascus.

Brunner is believed to have fled to Syria in the 1950s from West Germany, reportedly serving later as an adviser to the Syrian government on torture tactics before being shunned by the authorities.

The latest investigation by the Revue XXI magazine (in French) quotes one of Brunner's guards as saying that he "suffered and cried a lot in his final years, [and] everyone heard him".

Why would they release all the evidence of Russian collusion before the election ended? The smart thing to do would be to sit on it and then disseminate it to congress (friday!), which would allow republicans to have Pence/Ryan for 4 years once they impeach Trump. Pretty smart. Although I wonder what happens if they don't get the necessary votes to remove him from office, or what his insane supporters will do after the fact.

The only reason he doesn't attack democrats right now is that he knows his priorities and trump drives him insane.

He also knows internet culture and was constantly mocking channers and pepefuckers during the campaign.

Fox News to keep jerking off over the term "social experiements" with regard to the military for foreseeable future, thinks Mattis will cure all ills

I assume Mattis will probably reverse course on women in certain roles, but I'm interested to see what he'll do on the subject of transgender troops (my money's on let them serve, not give a gently caress, and tell the fundamentalists off) but whoooo knoooooooows. I'm also interested to see how he wins the largest and most important conflict our American troops have ever faced: the War on Christmas.

I am of the opinion that president Pence is actually a bigger problem for the issues many in this forum care about (LGBTwhateveracronym rights, environment, economy, VA, foreign affairs.)

BECAUSE he's not an obnoxious man child, he can quietly work with a Republican controlled congress to get his pet projects passed, and a desensitized apathetic public won't notice.

Donald Can't resist pissing people off, so he gets the opposition moving.

Pence is the quiet evil. Not necessarily the lesser.
