Unusual Tournament Posted July 13, 2019 Author #176 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) @Jodie.Lynne Considering the importance of the U.K. and U.S. relationship there should have been damage control of the highest order. Regret and Ambassador Dornoch throwing himself under the bus before the UK even had a chance too. This did not happen. Why?

Easy enough, the Queen could give him a peerage, and make Ivanka and Jared, Knights. Eric and Don Jr. could be squires. That would fix a multitude of sins and probably get the British the SWEETIST trade deal imaginable. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpandMyMind Posted July 14, 2019 #184 Share Posted July 14, 2019 New leaks. Quote Donald Trump abandoned the Iran nuclear deal to spite Barack Obama, according to a leaked memo written by the UK's former ambassador in the US. Sir Kim Darroch described the move as an act of "diplomatic vandalism", according to the Mail on Sunday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48978484 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, private diplomatic communiques are leaked. Here’s the thing though, the private opinion of the ambassador to his superiors is that Trump was being petty and that the dossier was legit. Wow, he was wrong about the legitimacy of a dossier. That’s a “whoops! Glad we had nothing to say publicly on that” moment for the ambassador, at most it could be used as grounds to hold off on his next pay rise or promotion and then solely because he misread the situation. unless of course, he was privy to certain other facts? That the dossier isn’t a mess of falsehoods and innuendoes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true...tired of this too. They criticise when they should and praise when they should. Unfortunately the left can't handle hearing good that may happen and run screaming from anything that smacks of the positive. Just watched Tim Ryan (D) criticizing Trump on Fox. No biggie, happens all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad watched CNN constantly because he hates Trump and watching CNN gave him justification. They are all biased and corrupt and report everything skewed to their bias whether it is negative or positive. I rarely see anything positive on any of the network news stations, except maybe the cooking shows or travel/cooking shows on CNN, like Anthony Bordain's show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't know someone like that I suppose it could p*** you off. I did watch Naked and Afraid (binge watched one day). It is like watching a train wreck. My favorite was duct tape woman. She was the smartest of them all. Then the memorable ones after that were the woman who would not drink water until she held it under her magnifying glass for 10 minutes but she was so dehydrated she kept passing out and the ass who yelled at the woman, who had more experience than he did, for 3 days then had a heart attack and was dependent on her to get the camera crew to call the medics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron York: Harvard study: CNN, NBC Trump coverage 93 percent negative First, I'd like to see the quote where they said they were going to lie to us "so get used to it". And it's what we are talking about in the other thread....people take a situation and pull out of it what they want and ignore the rest and other people take the rest and ignore the first. Puts a completely different interpretation on the very same occurrence. Therefore, alternate facts. Or as I say CNN does all the time, lieing by omission.
