monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Dictators the world over marvel at the brilliant nature of the grand fraud. Hitler loved the USA and used proven USA plans for genocide.

I am just going to say it, I hate this guy, this horrible president people voted for..... I will have to pray to get the hate out of my heart...

Those judges' rulings strike me as Constitutionally retarded.

Have you tried praying to get the stupidity out of your head??

Not if youre an "Originalist" at heart.

(Im not a Constitutional lawyer and I think that neither are you).

STFU is what Trump dearly needs.

However, had Trump merely kept his big fat mouth shut and not said things sounding clearly religiously discriminatory he may not have built the corner that he is in.

My Constitutional expertise centers around the Second Amendment. However, I think I have a pretty good handle on the entire Constitution.

I don't believe that he's in a corner.

So that evasion is a sort of an admission that you are NOT a Constitutional Lawyer? NO?

I think even ole GW Bush woulda had a real strategy for getting this EO through initial muster without looking like an "ignorant or the law" petulant egoist.

Hell, unless you are living under a rock you must be seeing that at least half of his trouble in getting these two EO's through in a TIMELEY fashion has been his clueless-ness and his big mouth .

Well, we all know you haven't tried to pray the stupid away.

Do you really enjoy living a
Life that's so hateful?

**** you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew

What in the hell does that have to do with him executing the office of the President? I can name several president's starting with LBJ that fill that bill.

You've misunderstood — I'm specifically not commenting on his job performance; I'm just using him to illustrate a stereotypically embarrassing "Ugly American". Get it?

And I'm not holding past or future presidents up as being examples of "Great Americans". I'm just saying Trump's one of the ugly ones.

Britain's communications intelligence agency GCHQ has issued a statement denying it wiretapped Donald Trump during the US presidential campaign.

The unusual move by the agency came after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer cited claims first made on US TV channel Fox News earlier this week.

GCHQ responded by saying the allegations were "nonsense, utterly ridiculous and should be ignored".

Mr Trump has claimed that Trump Tower in New York was under surveillance.

But he has provided no evidence for the claim.

A Senate committee on Thursday concluded that there were "no indications" Trump Tower was under surveillance by the US government before or after the election.

The claims of GCHQ involvement were initially made by former judge Andrew Napolitano.

Mr Spicer quoted Mr Napolitano as saying: "Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command.

"He didn't use the NSA, he didn't use the CIA, he didn't use the FBI and he didn't use the Department of Justice, he used GCHQ."

A GCHQ spokesman said: "Recent allegations made by media commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano about GCHQ being asked to conduct 'wiretapping' against the then president-elect are nonsense.

"They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored."
It is unusual for GCHQ to comment directly on a report about its intelligence work, normally preferring to stick to the policy of neither confirming nor denying any activity.

The phrase "utterly ridiculous" is also very unusual for the agency.

But it's a sign of just how seriously they take it. The allegations are so sensitive that the agency clearly felt they could not let them go unchallenged.

Donald Trump's claim that the Obama administration had ordered surveillance on him has generated enormous attention but with so far no evidence to back it up.

And British intelligence is clearly determined to avoid being drawn into what is an increasingly toxic row in Washington.


On Thursday Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Richard Burr dismissed Mr Trump's claim his phones were tapped.

Mr Trump had accused his predecessor Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower during the presidential race.

Mr Spicer said Mr Trump stuck by his allegations.

Jesus Christ, Hannity has no imagination and he sounds stupid because he cannot set aside his own animosity to save his soul.

When it comes to the deal, Trump plays his opponents like a 2 dollar fiddle...

And the great part is they don't even realize it.

He is sick and anyone supporting him sick too and I don't care if I do get banned from this site for saying it.

I will have to pray to get the hate out of my heart, but, it is going to be hard.

Liberals are always filled with hate.

What else is new, eh? These fake news outlets specialize in serving up breathlessly delivered speculation and hateful commentary, not in presenting the news in straight-forward fashion.

Nice try, cheese-eaters

I notice the same sort of breathless speculation regarding the wiretapping allegations, as if Trump is somehow "doomed" if he cannot back up his allegations.

I don't really care about the allegations in the first place. But I think Trump will be just fine if he never bothers to back them up.

It also strikes me that, if Trump did concoct fictional wiretapping allegations in order to distract the media from some other story (which I think is what his enemies suspect), then all of his enemies who perpetuate the hysteria over "whether the allegations are true" are actually helping to bring about the distraction that Trump hoped to achieve.

Oh I agree, he's a huckster — his supporters don't even realize it either!

“There’s widespread reporting that throughout the 2016 election, there was surveillance that was done on a variety of people,” Mr. Spicer said. Asked if the president stood by his original allegation, Mr. Spicer said, “He stands by it.”

Mr. Spicer complained that reporters had not focused on a comment by Mr. Nunes, the House intelligence chairman, that “it’s possible” that intelligence agencies could have swept up others in the course of their surveillance, including Mr. Trump. Mr. Nunes did note that Mr. Trump was concerned about “other surveillance activities looking at him and his associates” and said his committee would find out.

Trump May Have Pushed Dutch Voters Away From Populism

For the Dutch, both the British vote to leave the European Union and Donald J. Trump’s election in the United States broke political dikes, leaving the Dutch ill at ease with the conflict and uncertainty that has ensued.

That, some analysts said, helps explain why the Dutch ultimately chose to contain the populist surge led by Geert Wilders, the far-right icon, in their elections on Wednesday.

“In Europe we all see the developments in the United States, and that’s not where we want to go because we see it as chaos,” said Janka Stoker, a professor in the School of Economics and Business at the University of Groningen in the north of the Netherlands.
