I mean if Trump knew Turnbulls diplomat was responsible for the russia investigation that would explain his temperament. But trump doesn’t need a reason to be an asshole, it’s his natural state.

The intelligence services of countries closely allied to the US (such as Australia) have a huge motivation to see Trump gone. With Trump in office the Russians are basically operating unchecked. Same for China. A weak and ineffectual US is bad news globally as they’re just pretty much the only people who have a hope…

I used to think Downer epitomised the worst aspects of conservative politics. But then Trump came along and now Downer actually looks normal.

I actually interviewed the photographer who took that image earlier this year for a piece on one of his other famous shots and he still looks back on it with a smile.

Glad someone posted this so I didn’t have to. I have tried to find the footage of his infamous interview on Denton when he sported a backwards cap (given to him by Denton) to no avail.

So I’ve spent a lot of time thinking that President Pence would be just as bad, because at least Trump is incompetent, but I think I would still prefer it. I think one of the bigger dangers of Trump is the institutional damage he does. So at least Pence won’t wonder why he can’t have the DOJ investigate his enemies,…

That’s because they are closer to North Korea than we are.

See the best part about this is that it isn’t just any Australian diplomat, it’s former Foreign Minister and Opposition leader Alexander Downer.

Trump doesn’t remember the meeting Papadopoulos was at, so he’s in the clear. In fact, it’s how he’ll be cleared of any criminal wrongdoing. Trump couldn’t have possibly colluded with the Russians personally because he wasn’t paying attention to anything going on during the campaign.

This may be one of the few useful things Alexander Downer (the Australian Diplomat in question) has ever done.

Speaking of Trump, I’ve been seeing a lot of his supporters using the hashtag #MAGA2020 which just seems weird to me. Aren’t they basically saying that over the next three years, Trump will have failed at making America great?

Maybe Papadopoulos told Australian diplomats about the hack but DIDN’T tell his bosses in the Trump campaign? That sounds plausible. Let’s go with that.

Are Greeks really white? The real real scandal is that the FBI has wasted TAXPAYER money on an investigation founded on the drunken ramblings of a quasi MIDDLE EASTERN campaign volunteer.

“...forget the myths the media’s created about the White House—the truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.”

Soooo, now that the Republican talking point about the Russian dossier (that, yes, was funded by the Democratic party’s opposition research team though that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong as it clearly isn’t) launching the whole FBI investigation as a partisan move turns out to be false, what new lie and spin…

Yeah, I don’t get it either.

He might also be declared a saint, in which case his name will be St. George St. George.

“Despite the constant negative press covfefe”? That’s pretty random, even for you BLR.
