You need a very special view of morality to work in this White House.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Fixed.
The latest diversion - racebaiting white nationalists to galvanize around the "plight" of white South African farmers.
This was a thing in England 20 years ago. Might have been Zim farmers though.
Yeah it was.
I wouldn’t be surprised if people in Trump’s circle were shorting currencies ahead of these tweets - South Africa today, Turkey last week.
So, Trump talking about 'the greatest turkey' was a clue!

If I interviewed trump I would literally just ask him basic questions and let him ramble on. He's gold when he's left to talk unimpeded
There are going to be so many books written on this period by all of the players and fringe characters.
I've got no doubt there would be bloodshed - and that is before even reaching the impeachment stage. Politics can be tribal but the US is on another level with the love of conspiracy theories, large swathes of single issue voters and the propaganda TV like Fox. That is without mentioning the President going on constantly about a witch hunt - can't imagine anything similar happening here. Chuck guns in the mix and it is a bad combination.
"I totally refute these allegations of inappropriate conduct! Nice arse, btw."
Surprise surprise! He is giving his interview on Fox!
Sessions fighting back. Before he is sacked of course.
But it's a major issue and needs to be looked into, nonetheless. White farmers in Zimbabwe are not safe. Many have been killed in recent years. And in South Africa. Something needs to be done. At least by the UN or the African Union if the South African and Zimbabwean governments couldn't care less about the lives of their people.
I'm sure those countries can deal with their own issues domestically without the orangutan in chief needing to get involved.
True nikhil, many have died over the years in targeted attacks on white farmers. Why do you think the UN should get involved though? I mean it's domestic issues connected to the byproduct of colonialism. If you honestly believe the UN should get involved then would you extend that to the UN getting involved in Indian cow lynchings?
You don't have to turn this into another one of those debates. The UN can't go around interfering in situations like the one in Zim/SA, and Trump is using the plight of those poor people as a diversionary tactic. Let's leave it at that.
Yes, I feel the UN should get involved in domestic issues in countries if the local government cannot. The UN should get involved in the treatment of Christians, Druze and Yazidis in Iraq, Syria, Egypt etc. Also the treatment of Hindus and Christians in Pakistan and Bangladesh. As well as the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir by Hizb ul mujahideen and Jaish e mohammed.
So, hypothetically, if Sessions was to be removed/sacked, Trump could simply put in a replacement?. i.e Scott Pruitt
The guy is a troll on any issue involving India. Reminds me of sammsky1.
You don't find it odd that a country that has recently become inward looking (America First) is suddenly concerned about the plight of a few farmers in a far off land?
This is clearly designed to whip up fury among his racist base and give them something to cling to whilst ignoring the real issues at home. It's diversion, nothing else.
Pruitt has resigned so would need to be confirmed. To get round the need for a confirmation, he'll just put in another cabinet member.
Wouldn't the deputy AG be next in line ?
Session out next?
fecking LOL!
Firstly, I feel a little daft for the amount of OTT rants I have had about Trump. Hojestly it's more been frustration about he lack of repercussion and consequence for his actions. I should have remembered (and noticed) that the wheels of justice turn slowly. I guess I was just frustrated and aghast at how one person could dismantle so much and cause so much trouble and how few stood up to him and how easy it was for him.
Secondly, I am now despair at how deep the corruption goes. Maybe Trump was a good thing and needed to help destroy the system that he was allowed to abuse? Maybe now lessons will finally be learnt and only now will the USA be able to become great again. So much of the USA is fecked, corrupt or rotten to the core. Someone else said earlier that the USA is a second tier country, I would go further and say it's close to being a third world country.
Everyone is pretending it's not as bad as it seems but it is. It's maybe worse. Trump again could be the man to help sort this out. It's clear the evangelical wing have too much power and are not only corrupt, but are on a whole uneducated.
There is much to be loved and admired about the USA but Trump has shown it to be a bit of a fraud and that really the rest of the Western World is so far ahead and it's the USA who needs to learn from them.
I'm comfortable now that Trump is fecked and he will get his comeuppance, I'm just unsure at how his supporters will take it and if everyone will learn from it and prevent it from happening again and if education will be improved so people learn from it and stop it happening again.
Puerto Rico is still struggling without power and water in places, Flint is still without clean water, much of Cali is still in danger of fires. Many families are still separated, black lives are still fighting for equality, schools are still struggling badly, infrastructure
well the week has been going on for a few months now and still funding is short. The vets are still in need but the military are getting more funding and Trumps rich mates are making billions from the tax break. The environment is dying and he has taken the USA back to the 1970's with his deregulation. The damage is untold. I just hope it's reversed quickly and the damage i.s limited. The irony of all of this? Trump harped on and on about USA USA and the USA being first, well whoever comes in will have to ensure they spend most of their time putting the USA first and undoing all Trump' s feck ups. My heart goes out to whoever takes over next. They have a job and a half repairing all this shit and also have a job fighting against the army of Trumpites feckwits he has created that won't go quietly.

Full immunity by SDNY - he must be sitting on a mountain of incriminating stuff against Trump.
Agreed. But as I said, this needs to be handled properly. It can't be half arsed. The takedown needs to be total. Everyone complicit needs to fall. Be that Republican, Russian or Democrat or whoever. This needs to make sure this shit stops or else what's the fecking point?
Lmfao! Innocent people Tweet like this
He knows he's fecked. Good! I hope he fecking suffers continuously. Constantly frightened and on edge and shit scared..cnut.Not funny really, but Damn, education needs to improve in a big way. Fml. Seriously?
