The US wading in, all guns blazing , is not going to help anyone or anything, I fear!
God help us all!!!!!
Well that 100 days went by pretty quick.
*goes to read the world press summations*
Outside of the First 100 Days, but still...
So Trump sacks the FBI chief investigating his campaign's links to Russia, in a move likened by many to Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre" - a pivotal moment in the Watergate scandal. And how does he choose to make his first public comments on the fallout? During a surprise meeting with Henry Kissinger.
That's right: Henry "Political satire's obsolete" Kissinger!

...And then he goes and meets the Russian Foreign Minister and Ambassador!
You really can't make this stuff up...
He's in it up to his neck! 
I get the feeling he thinks it's all a TV show where he can hire and fire at the point of a finger.
Beginning of the end?

Well let's face it...he's no diplomat. Barrack must be laughing up his sleeve at this

Well, it was for Nixon...
I wonder if Kissinger advised Trump to visit China...
Here's all I have to say on the matter:
Yeah, and we think we have problems with 'her' Lori

My eyes are the best-exercised part of my body.
Lori.....given the fact that Hilary was no angel either and if they both were taken out of the betting, who would the masses over the pond have voted for? Do you know? or really was it a 'simple' two horse race?

Hmmmm....Good question. I still think Hilary was villianized, but I didn't like ANY of the second-tier candidates. They all had their faults (and don't we all?)

I also wonder what Hilary thinks about all of this now. She's keeping quiet. More power to her elbow I say, even though she wasn't the best either
Trump! really?

Despite appearances, there are a few of them in Hollywood: I just discovered that Stephen Baldwin is one too, which is funny given that his brother is...
Hahaha! Just think of Thanksgiving Dinner with that family...
Good grief.. 
Is this man really this crass and stupid? Hard to believe he hasn't been pole-axed, if so. Either that or his security team are REALLY, REALLY earning their wages.

I know what you mean - I tend to avoid any Hopkins news, except in this case she has lost a job and that pleases me.

Trump urged to retain Paris climate deal by UN chief
Why is he stringing this out like the announcement of the winner of The Apprentice. !!!
Which way is he going to jump?
Despite what he has said, I think he may stick with the climate deal.
Looks like he's just pulled out, officially!

This is a prime example of why I am not a betting man. I rarely get it right, if ever.
Having said that, pretty depressing stuff when the world is slowly grinding in the direction of a cleaner, better way of living.
Not to worry, he says he MAY re-negotiate a deal. One that's better for America!

As I understand it, he's announced the intention to leave. The Paris Accord is like Brexit: the US can't actually leave until the end of 2019 at the earliest.
Thank God for those kinds of details!
