Discussion: Reports: Cohen And Trump Donor Seeking Investment Met With Qatari Official In April

We’re doomed, we’re just fucking doomed! I just can’t fathom it. I was brought up by a couple of Welsh working class immigrants. Neither mom, nor dad went to college or University. But they taught me that education was sacred. People with an education, like teachers, scientists, engineers, were revered. I’m just dumbfounded. The Philistines and bog people are ascendent (and I don’t think any the better of the article’s author, either.). Someone take us over, please; the Germans, The Finns, The Swedes. Anybody?

Presidential speechwriters have always sought to channel their bosses’ style and cadence, but Trump’s team is blazing new ground with its approach to his favorite means of instant communication. Some staff members even relish the scoldings Trump gets from elites shocked by the Trumpian language they strive to imitate, believing that debates over presidential typos fortify the belief within his base that he has the common touch.

If only Traitor Tot followed soccer and could put together a hotel deal for the World Cup (doesn’t matter that the venues, etc. are being built by modern slaves)…

Bad joke about not having a U after the Q. Just feeling punchy yesterday.

Qatari leaders are not stupid. They know exactly why Kushner made a big show of supporting Saudi Arabia. He had courted the Qatari sovereign wealth fund to save his shirt on his foolish investment and put his thumb on the scale of an intramural Arabian peninsula dispute to show he could hurt them. Now that I understand the MO, I see all of these things in a different light. For instance, Trump canceled the FBI headquarters project, and my guess is that he wants to make sure it gets re-bid in a way that will offer him some kind of pay out.

It was good enough for me!
