Sorry to interrupt.

Can someone tell me please if there has been even a little bit of "Say What Now?"  Over the Turks having a recording of Kh's khilling? In the Saudi Embassy.

So Turkey has bugged the Saudi embassy? Isn't that against any international law? I know that when the US hired Soviet builders to construct the US Embassy they were SHOCKED to find the whole place like Swiss cheese with microphones everywhere.

But the embassy is supposed to be sovereign territory of the nation, not the host. I just haven't seen any raised eyebrows so I thought I'd ask here.

He went into the embassy with his smart watch mic on transmitting to his smart phone which was being held outside. Not having a teenager or assertive millennial in the hit squad, they didn’t think about that before they went to work. The phone and recording were delivered to Turkish authorities as evidence of a crime.

Alternatively, they knew a record was likely being made and wanted it to get out. The gamble is that the new world alignment would spare them any serious consequences and that the chilling effect would be much greater if people actually hear the screams.

It’s what happens when you let cruel bastards like trump run your country. MBS is a cruel bastard like trump.

Even the GOP is backing off from Trump's BS about voter fraud.

Well, it is now in the Repos interest to count every ballot. McSurly is behind.

We have gone from no Dam winners statewide since Napolitano joined the Obama administration election night to 3 or.4.

Still do not understand the benefit, if any, of welcoming violent primitives from third world societies. Violence breeds violence?

It’s too late. The Irish are already here.

Or did you mean the Italians?

Both groups came here legally. Proved their worth.

They wouldn’t have had the chance if the authorities then couldn’t see a benefit in welcoming violent primitives from third world societies. There were a lot of dumbasses at the time who wanted to exclude them because “Violence breeds violence”.

The argument is not about lawful immigration it is about illegal aliens and ignoring the laws. Asylum does not mean escape from economic distress. Italy and the UK are not third world countries.

There is nothing in your argument that you 'Still do not understand the benefit, if any, of welcoming violent primitives from third world societies. Violence breeds violence?" that makes any reference to the legality of entry. In fact, you have made it clear that you oppose the legal entry of those you refer to as "violent primitives" as well.

And just as Italians have proven their worth despite the involvement of a narrow sliver of their people in violent.organized crime, Latinos and Muslims have proven their worth here as well, through their hard work, their peaceful assimilation into society, and their civic involvement.

The Trump Administration is a pure con-job:

North Korea is moving ahead with its ballistic missile program at 16 hidden bases that have been identified in new commercial satellite images, a network long known to American intelligence agencies but left undiscussed as President Trump claims to have neutralized the North’s nuclear threat.

Our Commander in Chief didn't have the decency to pay respects to Americans who died fighting for this country, becasuse it was fucking raining.

Or maybe Putin told him not to go.

Every day Trump manages to disgrace this country.

PARIS – Saturday's rainout of President Donald Trump's visit to a World War I cemetery is drawing catcalls from critics, including Winston Churchill's grandson.

"They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate Donald Trump couldn’t even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen," said Nicholas Soames, Churchill's grandson and a member of British Parliament.

World leaders gave Trump too much space and legitimacy in the interest of maintaining relations with the US.

Now thanks to the mid-terms they can minimize the damage he is doing to the world by pushing back. Trump does not represent America. He doesn’t even represent the minority of Americans who think he is their representative.

"As long as they have that world view they will be a good judge"

Doesn't say anything about others being poor judges.

You are resolute in not managing to absorb what you read.

This was his answer to the question, "How do you set the criteria that you will use to block those judges?”

It was his answer to if he was New Testament

You have no reasoning and analysis skill.

Thanks for the update

Morning Joe today praises McSally for her conduct while continuing to criticize Rick Scott for having the gall to say there might be some impropriety in FLA

Says Scott will go to the Seante tarnished should he be victorious

Intelligence leaks are usually calculated. Given Trump is more likely to pay attention to news reports than intelligence briefings, perhaps this is a way to get the news.on Faux and Frauds.

By the way, here is something to think about, with our amateur bumbler on the world stage:

And the sanctions are collapsing, in part because North Korea has leveraged its new, softer-sounding relationship with Washington, and its stated commitment to eventual denuclearization, to resume trade with Russia and China.

Two takeaways from that: Trump has never understood North Korea or the extent to which his scattershot, untethered, unprincipled,  unstuddied "who ever likes me I like" approach echoes in foreign countries.

Second, China and Russia have no respect for, or fear of, Trump.

Yes.  Well done

I do hope they refund money to the hard working citizen who already PAID to get their record expunged/reduced.
