He's right about Hillary . But he's even more pathetic than her, because he always needs to remind everybody else that his victory was huge, and that he would have won the popular vote if not for massive voter fraud.

Hillary being a sore loser is one thing, but the President of the United States being a sore winner is even more embarrassing.

Also Russia came out in support of the Paris Climate Agreement.... on the same day Trump is supposedly going to back out of it.

Nigel Farage is 'person of interest' in FBI investigation into Trump and Russia

quote:

Exclusive: FBI interested in former Ukip leader’s ties with people connected to US president and WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange

Nigel Farage is a “person of interest” in the US counter-intelligence investigation that is looking into possible collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the Guardian has been told.

Sources with knowledge of the investigation said the former Ukip leader had raised the interest of FBI investigators because of his relationships with individuals connected to both the Trump campaign and Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder whom Farage visited in March.

WikiLeaks published troves of hacked emails last year that damaged Hillary Clinton’s campaign and is suspected of having cooperated with Russia through third parties, according to recent congressional testimony by the former CIA director John Brennan, who also said the adamant denials of collusion by Assange and Russia were disingenuous.

Farage has not been accused of wrongdoing and is not a suspect or a target of the US investigation. But being a person of interest means investigators believe he may have information about the acts that are under investigation and he may therefore be subject to their scrutiny.

Sources who spoke to the Guardian said it was Farage’s proximity to people at the heart of the investigation that was being examined as an element in their broader inquiry into how Russia may have worked with Trump campaign officials to influence the US election.

“One of the things the intelligence investigators have been looking at is points of contact and persons involved,” one source said. “If you triangulate Russia, WikiLeaks, Assange and Trump associates the person who comes up with the most hits is Nigel Farage.

“He’s right in the middle of these relationships. He turns up over and over again. There’s a lot of attention being paid to him.”

It's a transatlantic union of human turds.

May is down in the polls lately as well because she's 'linked' with trump. Mr. Brexit here said it was good of May to call an election cause 'labour is in disarray' when polls are saying Jezza will gain seats and May will lose some. I don't think labour is going to win, but they might costs the Tories their majority

As an outsider, it looks like the Tories have been owning themselves time after time ever since Cameron decided that a Brexit vote would be a fantastic idea.

They have made some really stupid manifesto pledges on things like social care funding that haven't gone down well and generally giving Labour too much room to maneuver, engaging them in debate would seem to be a better course of action so pissheads like Diane Abbott can make herself look stupid and John McDonald can make himself seem like an aggressive arsehole with a major Marxist slant.

I wouldn't pay the recent polls an awful lot of credence thought, there are wildly differing numbers usually down to 'weighting' of votes depending on how likely the responding demographic is to actually turn out and vote. The bookies still have the Conservatives winning a majority as the odds on favorites and our polls have been completely off the mark for the last couple of national votes.

Personally I think you'll see very little change after the election.

This would have been true if there was any sort of proper opposition to the government, which there isn't. Corbin keeps fighting the wrong fight instead of actually holding the Government to account and most of the electorate has swallowed the 'we might be poo poo but the alternative is Corbyn' narrative.

In other news, McMaster has drunk the koolaid and is now resolutely in the ~true believer~ section of the administration:

quote:

America First Doesn’t Mean America Alone
We are asking a lot of our allies and partners. But in return the U.S. will once again be a true friend.

President Trump just returned from nine days in the Middle East and Europe that demonstrated his America First approach to ensuring security and prosperity for our nation. America will not lead from behind. This administration will restore confidence in American leadership as we serve the American people.

America First does not mean America alone. It is a commitment to protecting and advancing our vital interests while also fostering cooperation and strengthening relationships with our allies and partners. A determination to stand up for our people and our way of life deepens our friends’ respect for America. ( :lol: )
...

While meeting with European Union leaders in Brussels, the president reiterated his concern about our trade deficits with many European nations. He also emphasized the importance of reciprocity in trade and commerce. Simply put, America will treat others as they treat us. At the Group of Seven in Taormina, Sicily, where President Trump further solidified his relationships with leaders of the world’s largest market economies, the members came together in the official communiqué to stand firm “against all unfair trade practices” and to foster a truly level playing field.

Strong alliances and economically thriving partners are a third vital American interest. As the president stated in Brussels, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is rooted in “the courage of our people, the strength of our resolve, and the commitments that bind us together as one.” While reconfirming America’s commitment to NATO and Article 5, the president challenged our allies to share equitably the responsibility for our mutual defense. We came away with new outcomes for the first time in decades: More allies are stepping up to meet their defense commitments. By asking for more buy-in, we have deepened our relationships. That is not surprising. Alliances based on mutual respect and shared responsibility are strong. And strong alliances bolster American power.
...
We are asking a lot of our allies and partners. But in return America will once again be a true friend to our partners and the worst foe to our enemies. The president’s visit showed the power of both competing to advance interests and engaging to develop relationships and foster cooperation. We have a vital interest in taking the lead internationally to advance American military, political and economic strength.
...
The president embarked on his first foreign trip with a clear-eyed outlook that the world is not a “global community” but an arena where nations, nongovernmental actors and businesses engage and compete for advantage. We bring to this forum unmatched military, political, economic, cultural and moral strength. Rather than deny this elemental nature of international affairs, we embrace it. (loving lol)

There is no way in hell Biden can run for the next election, it's a shame because he's one of those very rare U.S. politicians that's as popular over here in Europe as the U.S. But that job would kill him, it's just not realistic unless he wanted to die in office.

Can't find one that mentions deep state AND Soros :( (this is from a different Breitbart article on the Obama buying a house):

quote:

That was my first question too. Maybe a bonus from Soros.

quote:

George Soros says he earned it - was a good soldier.

Likely George Soros and his other friends have paid for Obamas homes for all of his hard work destroying America the last 8 years for the Soros agenda.

quote:

Where did they get the money? Did we send it to Obama via Iran? Or did Soros buy it for them? Should be public information

quote:

maybe some of Hillary's missing billions?

quote:

Hmmm, let's follow that money and see where it came from? Iran? Saudi Arabia ? Mexican drug cartels? Globalists like Soros? All of the above?

quote:

Clinton Global Initiative

quote:

Soros has no problem with writing the check

quote:

Being Soros's bird dog really pays off, doesn't it Okie Doke?

quote:

Sorosprompter or crackberrie(??)... .

quote:

Or Soros and crew are rewarding Obama for a job well done.

quote:

Yeah, where did he got all the money??? His total salary in 8 years is $ 3.2 million . Something is fishy!!! Of course, those under the table deals. And Soros- elites- who else ?? What do ypu think??? Hmmmm😎😎😎

quote:

Soros paid him well.

quote:

Smells like George Soros money

quote:

George Soros has been berry berry good to me...

quote:

Who is financiing Obama? Saudi? Qatar? Soros?

quote:

All of the above, and the Clinton Foundation.

quote:

Look into the stimulus dealings with "shovel ready" jobs. I dont recall there being that many? Oh wait the greenies got more money and yet still no viable green energy. Solendra anyone? We all know the crook Soros was heavily involved in that stimulus. So yes an audit is needed there is no way he is going to spend his own money leasing 3 homes. He would be broke. I just wonder 8200 sq ft! WOW how much ENERGY is that house going to use..could you imagine his carbon tax! Oh wait elected officials don't have to obide by the same laws as the little people that pay this scumbags salary.

quote:

Soros loves spreading the wealth. Why do you think Obama is staying in D.C. to spread his special brand of hate & violence at the Trump admin? Because Soros is paying him.
