Hasbeen you and other want to smother me, for having another opinion
One shared by many, maybe most, even in his own country
It is weirdly funny
That you see a defect in me, for holding another view
Look I do not get my news from Fox/Sky
My morning read, often, includes AMERICAN free to read news
Lets face it, the unreserved [uniformed?] support of Trump here, is enforcing my view his followers are kitten like, playing with that new ball of string, but unsure just what it is
Trump is in election mode, he used the Kim meeting, and Kim, like his father and grandfather before,used Trump
What deal if any comes from all this will be worth noting NK has history for making then breaking promises

Why not read the link?
As opinions are firm reading what others think will not change minds, or will it?
Any room for considered thought?
Found it interesting and far from the only such story even in news corp papers

Hi there STEELEREDUX...

There's no doubt in my mind, no one in the former OBAMA administration would ever utter anything that might appear favourable to the TRUMP camp. Moreover, I've yet to hear anything commendatory spoken about any American President, who appears to be so reviled and hated, like Donald TRUMP. I believe he'll obtain another four-year term, nevertheless?

I can't argue with you in any capacity, principally because I know very little about American Politics. However, in the past, I've had many conversations, specifically with three former members of the Bureau. Those who trained me in the United States, back in 1986 & 87. Three ordinary men like myself (blue collar), and to a man, they are staunch supporters of Mr. TRUMP.

FYI, to enable entry, into the Quantico VA, FBI Academy, each applicant must have an 'approved' College (Uni.) Degree.

So either these three ex Bureau, SA's (one a former SSA) are complete 'whack' jobs, or they genuinely possess a working knowledge and appreciation of the efforts of the TRUMP Presidency. As I indicated earlier, these three men are just ordinary citizens now - But knowing them as I do, they are not easily fooled. What about you Steele, are you easily fooled by the machinations of the loony 'Left'?

Something that puzzles me about you, Steele? There's no doubt you're a very clever man, one who can express himself admirably on paper. Nonetheless, you're of the 'Left'? When common sense and deductive reasoning should steer you to the 'Right'? I'm bemused as to why?

Hi Belly,
"IF Clinton had won the election, and if SHE formed these type of links to Russia China and North Korea
You bet the usual suspects would want her head"

Russia

http://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-clinton-foundation-investigation-russia-20171120-story.html

The New York Times reported in 2015 that "shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, [former President Bill] Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock." In total, $145 million went to the Clinton Foundation from interests linked to Uranium One, which was acquired by the Russian government nuclear agency Rosatum.

Think that was just a coincidence? As former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy points out, the Uranium One deal is not a national security scandal, it is a corruption scandal involving 'Clinton family self-dealing.' Ask yourself: How many half-a-million-dollar speeches has Bill Clinton given to Kremlin-linked banks since Hillary Clinton was defeated? How much Russian money is flowing into the Clinton Foundation's coffers today? If Donald Trump had given a $500,000 speech paid for by a Kremlin bank, and his private foundation had accepted $145 million from Vladimir Putin-linked oligarchs and their Western business partners, do you think that his critics would be insisting there was nothing to see here?"

AC it seems a truth posters here mirror Trump and those who support him
Deny at all cost, turn the discussion in to one about the other side
And let their views and opinions become the only ones
Trump, his recent and long term use of showmanship diplomacy, is harmful to good government
Had ANY past POTUS acted like him, we may already be at ww 3 stage
His ability to win some over is known, that some are very often not fully aware of who he is, what they think he is about, and in the end are as much a threat as he is

Had ANY past POTUS acted like him, we may already be at ww 3 stage
Belly,
that's your hate speaking again for you. Had previous POTUS acted like him the World would be a better place already. There wouldn't be all these refugees nor the trade imbalances.
The reason we are in such a mess because past politicians DIDN"T do their job !
