2016 - Wikileaks, I love Wikileaks.

Today - I don't know about Wikileaks, it's not my kind of thing.

Trump keen on having another summit with Kim Jong Un. Apparently he enjoys being with the Chairman.

Bizarre.

He only wants to do that for the attention.

I'm assuming you went to Folly Beach, if so I live 5 miles from there on James Island. If you ever make it back here let me know and I can give you a list of places to eat, drink and get your history on.

Yep Folly Beach - it wasn't a great day so a little disappointed. I did really like Charleston I could see myself living there.

Did they have lads on bucking Broncos trying to stay on for 7 seconds or is that something else?

We didn't last that long but I'd imagine it did have that too.

US President Donald Trump has vetoed a bill passed by Congress to end support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.

Mr Trump described the resolution as an "unnecessary" and "dangerous" attempt to weaken his constitutional powers.

Making America Great Again, or Down With Iran, or Hotel building in Saudi - something or other.

Can see why Trump likes them I guess given his own behaviour.

I'd be more concerned with this.

In case you hadn’t heard, Donald Trump has been exposed authorising a potentially illegal multi-billion dollar deal to sell highly sensitive nuclear secrets to Saudi Arabia – a decision which, experts say, has the very real potential of allowing the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism to manufacture a nuclear weapon.

 

[mike_field]

I thought we'd already covered that? lol

 

[HeathfieldRoad1874]

We have, but it's still going on, and explains a lot about Yemen.

 

[mike_field]

Knew it rang a bell lol It's 2/3 things a day though isn't it, so easy to lose track and it does feel by design. Yes, definitely Yemen linked it feels and Saudi in general.

A Fox poll at that lol

 

[mike_field]

I just noticed at the bottom of the graphic it talks about margin of error - I expected to see 'biggly'.

 

[sirdennis]

Be interesting if he calls Fox out for fake news lol.

 

[mike_field]

It'll be one of those occasions they aren't his go to polls of choice!

 

[HeathfieldRoad1874]

Fox do seem to be turning away from Trump slightly.

 

[BodyButter]

Apparently, Bernie made a speech at some Fox News thing and got lots of support.

 

[HeathfieldRoad1874]

It did. Some of the right wing media wrote edited versions that made him look bad. It was quite funny.

Redecated Mueller report today. There is no way Barr has left anything good for us to see. Rumour is 100 of the 400 pages are redacted.

I'm sure The Kremlin has the full text by now, so hopefully, they can fill in the blanks.
