/ May 31, 2018An odd fake story:
Missy
/ May 31, 2018What’s odd about it? The authorities in Kiev appeared to have information he was to be murdered and faked his assassination in order to bring those behind it out into the open.
Missy
/ May 31, 2018Referring to it as odd you give the impression you don’t think it is as said by the Ukrainian authorities.

/ May 31, 2018Federal prosecutors have revealed on Wednesday in the Cohen case that they will present to the court shredded documents that have been reassembled.
Looks like the FBI raid on Cohen’s office (that trump repeatedly described as a disgrace and an attack on America) was both necessary and appropriate.
And it looks like the guy who once said he’d take a bullet to protect the president might be about to get that bullet.
Joe Bloggs
/ May 31, 2018And close on the heels of the revelation that the contents of Cohen’s shredder will be used by the prosecutors in court, comes another revelation about Mickey Medallions: Cohen taped his conversations with trump.
It’s an odds-on bet that trump now wishes he’d let Stormy Daniels out of that non disclosure agreement when she first asked.
Michael Avenatti on MSNBC:
NOEL
/ May 31, 2018Shreeding docs in a strip shredder!! Lowest IQ crim always uses a match.
Joe Bloggs
/ May 31, 2018Yeah, a simple strip-cut shredder. Nothing says ‘I have nothing to hide’, ‘It’s a witch hunt’, ‘I will be vindicated’, quite like a still smoking paper shredder.
Alan Wilkinson
/ May 31, 2018So not knowing he is going to be raided he somehow decides to shred incriminating documents?
They are required to present all material taken in the raid to the judge for assessment as whether it is protected by client privilege. Therefore they have to do this for the shredder bin material whether it is relevant to their case or not. Odds are high that it is not. What a lot of nonsense.
Alan Wilkinson
/ May 31, 2018Normal offices shred then send to a paper recycler. Sounds more like a normal office doesn’t it?
Joe Bloggs
/ May 31, 2018trump talks prison reform with Kim Kardashian ???
Jesus wept, you really couldn’t invent this absurdity. Who knew the bottom of the barrel had a basement.
Alan Wilkinson
/ May 31, 2018Anyone who’s read your rants, Joe. Apparently she is advocating for a prisoner that your ideology says you should be supporting. Get with the programme, Lefty.
MaureenW
/ May 31, 2018Joes been taking lessons from other anti-trump media to report stories without context in order to conclude negatively.
He’s doing quite well in that regard so at least that’s something
Joe Bloggs
/ May 31, 2018see facts below and stick your context where the sun doesn’t shine – anti-trump media? Since when has fox news been anti-trump? Since when has fox news been media for that matter.

Alan Wilkinson
/ May 31, 2018And more on your dickhead loony Left ranting stupidity over the so-called missing children you used to abuse Ivanka for posting a photo of herself with a little one:
http://thefederalist.com/2018/05/30/youve-heard-missing-immigrant-children-probably-false/
Lying Lefty media yet again.
Joe Bloggs
/ May 31, 2018aaahhh the frothy foam of the rigid righty.
Point of fact: I’ve never commented on the missing immigrant children nor on Ivanka’s tone-deaf photo op. Once again you invent fake news, fake comments, and bullshit squirrel scenarios.
Oh, and I’m well aware of the plight of Alice Johnson, who Kardashian is advocating for, and I’m down for anyone who can make a difference to stand up and do their bit…
… however the problem I have with the bottom of this particular barrel is that Kim and Kanye know the trumps personally and are in regular social contact – so this particular meeting was little more than a charade designed to give trump some positive spin.
Gezza
/ May 31, 2018Cut off at the knees again Al.
Alan Wilkinson
/ May 31, 2018This one’s for you, Joe:
https://amgreatness.com/2018/05/30/dear-ex-friends-in-the-resistance/
Who did post the Ivanka photo slur? I’ve searched for it but can’t find it here.
Alan Wilkinson
/ May 31, 2018Both the Herald and Stuff ran the Ivanka false slur story on Tuesday so you didn’t have to, Joe. Apologies for not remembering the MSM did your dirty work for you that time.

/ May 31, 2018“Jesus wept, you really couldn’t invent this absurdity. Who knew the bottom of the barrel had a basement.”
How is it any different to Obama meeting with Macklemore to talk about the opioid epidemic?
And this;

/ May 31, 2018Aljaz tv currently reporting Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has arrived in Pyonyang, had talks with NK officials, & just recently emerged to give a statement that Russia supports the current & forthcoming negotiations with the US but that denuclearising NK will take some time & that it can only realistically happen if sanctions are relaxed so NK is not bankrupted & impoverished. Reporter noted that it is not surprising to see Russia aligining itself with the position of China.
Also reporting that Assad has just said US troops should leave Syria & that he is threatening to attack US-supported forces there (although the reporter noted it’s unlikely he would actually really do that).
