What's old is new again. That was quite common during the Cold War. No disaster, unless the pilot miscalculates of course.

The Canadian Voodoo pilots used to pull right up to the Russian cockpits and give them their gazillion candlepower spotlights straight into the pilot's faces.

"Welcome to Canada, Ivan!"

Trump has been THE BOSS for most of his life (an inherited situation) and he has never had to answer to anyone other than his debtors (and we know how he's treated them, in the past). It is likely that he is incapable of the sort of conciliatory behaviour necessary to be President of a republic. He looks like a dictator and in a weaker democracy, he would be one by now.

Yes.

He is acting exactly like he did as President of his own company. You see it in his language. The problem is, that being President of a country he has to answer to millions of shareholders......

Would it be reasonable as a "moderator" (equivalent word pertaining political leaders) that he might reasonably choose to visit problematic areas before going on "social" visits as I doubt if Canada is posing any huge problems for the U.S.?

I know I had posted this somewhere before the election but in case you missed it here are two profiles on Roy Cohn........

The man who showed Donald Trump how to exploit power and instill fear

And PBS covered him

What is worse than being a pathological liar is not even considering that one is lying. That is how perverse his thinking is. His bully type supporters don't even see that he is lying. or refuse to. and that makes them irresponsible citizens. They also refuse to acknowledge how dangerous he is to the constitution of the US ........which was designed to prevent a lot of what he is-doing and how he is doing it. He is acting like a dictator. That must be what his "loyalists" want.He and they want NO checks and balances........... and we know what can happen when this gets out of control.

Aides feed Trump fake news

Report: Trump Aides Slip Him Fake News - The Daily Beast

CNN states that this fake news is fed to him is "positive" news or a positive slant on his conduct to cheer him up as he needs constant ego feeding. and even more NB. He does not handle negative feedback all that well. ( as is evidenced by his twitter outbursts.


Does anyone know WHY this bloke ran for President in the first place?? What was his REL MOTIVE??

One gets the impression that the job itself is not very appealing to him. And the fact the things are NOT done just because he says so....... and need to go through a process ....is frustrating to him.


This Job does NOT FIT the man.
He is now being seen as damaging t to the country. ( gee..what was their first clue??) Sarcams alert ;-)

The situation will improve! Patience is the key, one of the reasons terms are 4 years! "Rome wasn't built in a day" and the U.S. is much bigger than Rome! :) :) :)

Breaking news; CNN reporting: Trump revealed classified information to the Russians las t week

We all have seen that he blabs.......... this would be no ruprise. The question is WHY ?? Was he payi8ngback for the help he got to win the election??

It was apparently "code word " information.

Isn't this a form of treason??

No U>S photographers / press were allowed into the meeting ...........a red alert right there

The question is: are the trump supporters smart enough to realize how serius this could be?? Or what LOUSY judgement their gawd has

Trump should be thwon out even on suspicion of this kind of conduct.

c on't : The White house is denying this. ( Trumps sharing "code word" info with the Russians.

Given the serious LACK of CREDIBILITY that the White house has now...........


stay tuned for more digging about the latest twist in the White house reality show /opera.

Technically thePrez has the legal right to declassify information. ..

and remember : all Trump is concerned with is what is LEGAL... a very restricted and irresponsible view.

Washington Post and New York times are the ones reporting this item.
