Remember Trumps first phone call to Australia's PM and Trump got crazy and went off on him? ...


Trump holds grudges forever, so this may be onto something

Things that make you go hmmm ...........






Order in which we knew:.

1 . Trump briefed on Russia cyber by US Intel in 8/16.
2. Trump rips Australian PM to shreds in 1st phone call, said preferred talking to Putin.
3. NOW we learn: Australian intel told CIA trump aide boasting about Russia in 6/16.

All makes sense now.

Most five-time republican draft dodgers are not that cravenly, bitterly piss-flavored in their engagement with the world, so they* say.

* them

I like our former allies way more than the new ones.

Putin is fearsome, Trump is scary. Putin is a gangster, Trump is a bully.

We're going to be seeing a lot more of this kind of thing coming out in the next several months. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. My only question is whether or not we'll get to hear about everything by the time it's all over.

You can bet that did not originate from a floor-level supervisor.

That the Trump administration ordered a cavity search for an Australian law enforcement official, who had traveled to the US for official business. I believe it happened shortly after the dumbass travel ban.

Somebody mad at Aussies.

that little character flaw.

That and his also being amiable to wearing a wire. He made the chips start falling.

His winning grin will make him friends in the joint.

That and his reputation for wearing a wire.
