In his book, Sean Spicer calls Trump "a unicorn, riding a unicorn over a rainbow"

Not aimed at you at'all RtG, but why anyone would pay any attention to a guy known for incessant idiotic transparent and easily disproven lies is beyond me.  Yet of course his book will sell.  And a liar will be rewarded for lying and being divisive.

[dalarr]

He’s deliberately ignorant. Sees it as a badge of honour that he ‘wings’ meetings.

It’s the fact that he gets so easily away with it that is my greatest concern. His fans back home seem to appreciate it because he “sticks it to the elite”. His party doesn’t care. My head hurts just from thinking about it. It’s also a bad example for future generations. Be completely ignorant, lie, bully, make fun of disabled and grab young women; the price: Become President of the United States

Delightful to see on Sky News the driver of a passing car who told a protestor outside Regents Park to "go back to where you came from" creating the atmosphere Trump feels comfortable in...

Thought this was quite interesting; clips from Peter Strzok's testimony to the House Judiciary Committee. Some good, fiery stuff. Also - and this is not news - Trey Gowdy is a right prick.

Wasn't it the same two over and over? They were doing laps around Finsbury Park and (I'd guess) Regent's Park on Monday lunchtime.

I had assumed those were supporting the more traditional helicopter he's in? They fly so low

Anyone watching the Peter Strzok hearing on c-span? What a fucking shitshow by Republicans. My favourite part has to be when one of the democrats started citing republican emails that were anti trump.

Lay off him, it's just Trump being Trump. I know we hold US Presidents to a certain standard, but he is different. Something new. And the system needs something new and different. You, the establishment, don't like that. You want him to stay to conventional norms so you can somehow control him. You don't like it that he says what he thinks and not whatever is being fed to him by experts, scientists and other elites.

Or some shite like that. That is usually how they explain none of the rules applying to him, why it's fine for everything he says to be devoid of anything resembling a fact and why the blatant lies are somehow necessary or beneficial to things.

Can you imagine what his meeting with the Queen will be like? That's one occasion where you'd want Prince Phillip to not be careful about what he says.

Donald Trump tweets 'very nice' letter from Kim Jong-un

US President Donald Trump has published a letter from Kim Jong-un, in which North Korea's leader voices hopes for a "new future" in bilateral relations.

Mr Trump said the letter from Mr Kim (dated 6 July), was "a very nice note".

But it made no mention of any efforts by Pyongyang towards denuclearisation - a key issue the two leaders discussed at June's historic summit in Singapore.

Separately, the US has accused North Korea of violating a UN sanctions cap on refined oil products.

It said this had been done through ship-to-ship transfers at sea using 89 North Korean tankers. The US did not say which countries were illicitly providing Pyongyang with the products.

In December, the UN Security Council limited such exports to North Korea to 500,000 barrels a year.

In another development on Thursday, North Korean officials failed to turn up for talks with a US team on the repatriation of the remains of American soldiers killed in the 1950-53 Korean war.

What was in Kim's letter?

The English translation of the four-paragraph document was tweeted by Mr Trump on Thursday.

In it, Mr Kim says: "I deeply appreciate the energetic and extraordinary efforts made by Your Excellency Mr President.

He also says that bilateral trust should be "further strengthened in the future process of taking practical actions".

Mr Kim says that "the epochal progress" in promoting bilateral ties "will bring our next meeting forward".

In publishing the letter, President Trump tweeted: "Great progress being made!" He did not elaborate.

Last week, North Korea accused the US of using a "gangster-like" tactics to push it towards nuclear disarmament after a fresh round of high-level talks.

A statement by an unnamed foreign ministry official gave a starkly different account from one provided just hours before by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who attended the talks.

Mr Pompeo had said progress was made during his two-day visit to Pyongyang.

The date of Mr Kim's letter suggests it may have been sent before Mr Pompeo's visit.

What about the planned repatriation meeting?

It had been expected on Thursday at the inter-Korean truce village of Panmunjom.

North Korean and US teams, as well as UN officials, had been due to discuss the details of repatriation.

Mr Kim had agreed during the Singapore summit with President Trump to recover "POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified". The agreement reportedly covered the remains of some 200 American soldiers.

The US military has since announced that 100 wooden coffins have been moved to the inter-Korean border in preparation.

But North Korea's delegation failed show up. Pyongyang has asked the UN Command Armistice Commission to upgrade the talks to a higher level to include a US general, South Korea's foreign ministry said.

The US later said that North Korea had offered to meet on 15 July.

"We will be ready," US state department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said.

An estimated 30,000 US soldiers died in the Korean war.

There are about 7,700 US soldiers classified as missing in action in the war.

Between 1996 and 2005, some 33 recovery operations were conducted in North Korea which saw 200 sets of remains returned.

However, recovery efforts were suspended when the relationship between both countries worsened, as the North began the advancement of its nuclear programme.

Hopefully Phillip blasts him in the face with a hunting rifle and then is all like "Golly gosh gents, terribly sorry, I thought a fox was mauling his head and I was just trying to get it orf," before casually wandering off to be racist at someone.

What a sad prick he is. Kim has is number and is playing him like a fish. It's like Good Cop, Bad Cop except Kim is both and he flatters Trump's ego and then shits all over Pompeo.

"I deeply appreciate the energetic and extraordinary efforts made by Your Excellency Mr President..."

[WhereAngelsPlay]

So now he is sticking his nose into Brexit,this after all of those c*nts called Obama everything under the sun for speaking the truth.


Go on Phillip,stab the bastard you know you want to.


And when Drunmpf says that it means that they would be dealing with the EU,he really means that he is upset because we still wouldn't allow his country to sell their poisons in our supermarkets.

Imagine having a Prime Minister invite someone over to her house, dress up and treat them like royalty only to be completely and predictably embarrassed by their repeated public criticism of her. Bizarre. I'd be telling him to fuck off on the next jet home if he behaved so uncharitably in my house. It's a pathetic sight.

I genuinely believe he tweeted it just to go public with taht one line. Because if a person says that, he is a great leader. Then the praise means more because it is coming form someone great. Whereas if Canada raises a doubt on Trumps decisions, he will shit on them and their weak leader.

[Broad Spectrum]

Of course, he’s said Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson will make a great prime minister. Sorry it’s from the rag, just heard it on the BBC. Can’t believe the Queen is entertaining this fat wanker.

David Cicilline@davidcicilline
Republican hypocrisy is ridiculous today. GOP has until 5pm to tell me why I can’t release Peter Strzok’s closed-door transcript. If they don’t, @RepRaskin and I are going to send to DOJ to scrub for sensitive info and then release it when it’s ready.

David Cicilline@David Cicilline
UPDATE: Republicans couldn’t find an excuse to stop us from releasing the Strzok transcript. Sending to DOJ for redactions and will release as soon as it’s available.

Also Rick Wilson nails the Strzok hearing

He closed with this fastball:

“That is who we are as the FBI. And the suggestion that I in some dark chamber somewhere in the FBI would somehow cast aside all of these procedures, all of these safeguards and somehow be able to do this is astounding to me. It simply couldn’t happen. And the proposition that that is going on, that it might occur anywhere in the FBI, deeply corrodes what the FBI is in American society, the effectiveness of their mission, and it is deeply destructive.”

The second was a shot across Donald Trump’s bow: “I understand we are living in a political era in which insults and insinuation often drown out honesty and integrity. I have the utmost respect for Congress’s oversight role, but I truly believe that today’s hearing is just another victory notch in Putin’s belt and another milestone in our enemies’ campaign to tear America apart.”

This latest spectacle was designed for one purpose only: the destruction of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Donald Trump’s Russia ties. Republicans like Fredo Nunes who have tried to present a series of dramatic, table-flipping reality TV moments to reach that goal have failed time and again to derail the Mueller investigation. This morning was yet another swing-and-a-miss for the Trump GOP.

Because Trump supporters live in a hermetic media echo chamber, these hearings are part of a predictable, hokey Kabuki dance. They’re a device for generating a new round of hyperbolic base-only stories that will follow the same dumb arc as all the rest. In the coming days, you’ll see Sean Hannity flirt with apoplexy, coating the camera lens with flecks of spittle as he rants over Strzok’s perfidy. You’ll see pro-Trump columnists herniate themselves stretching to turn flippant text messages into a vast conspiracy. Twitter will be a flood of moronic memes, white-hot takes, and promises that Strzok will soon be in Gitmo alongside Hillary, Obama, Podesta, and Soros.

[BabuYagu]

Didn't know who Jerry Nadler was a few hours ago. Now straight up love the guy. He nailed the Chairman to the wall at the start of that hearing with is hypocrisy bullshit. Don't know any more of him than what I saw and heard in these hearings, so if he previously took a mini-gun to a schoolbus or something, I will retract my above glowing endorsement of him.
