  1. Russia and the USA are perfect coils to each other. Not much trade between the two. Not much need to cooperate on diplomatic matters. These two have successfully managed their military engagements for 6 decades. So they can wage propaganda attacks at will and fire up their citizens.

  2. A Clear Link Between Trump and Russia Is Now Out in the Open

    A new Mueller court filing describes how Michael Cohen negotiated with the Kremlin about a Moscow business deal during the 2016 campaign.

    1. Wow - that worries me, a business man conducting business.

      Yea, the email and pay to play schemes don't matter, ignore those, were too stupid to understand the complexities...etc....etc...etc

      Want some cool aid with your cake?

  3. Hmmmm. A business deal. Good post, Philoctes. I wonder if business deals are what businessmen do? By the way, I wonder if Trump is a businessman and like many businessmen of Trump's stature might he also have a go between with a legal background to aid in the dealmaking?
    Obviously Trump's sanctions on Russia and Russians are what businessmen do to close out their deals, right Philoctes? And we all know these deals are done in a few hours, right?...so why did Trump continue on into the campaigning before he was elected? Such an endeavor would take you but an hour maybe. Correct?
    To be honest, I didn't open your link having come to the conclusion recently that the furor and outrage of liberal leaning people and the steely persistence of the anthrax investigator Meuller was the result of an international shortage of eyeglass and cataract strength Windex combined with ignorance and liberal bias. And in your case yet another tempest in an outhouse from a person who is desperately searching for something, anything, to go back, somehow, to the glory days of old when employment was declining, the labor participation rate of America was falling, and we could all go to bed with our thumbs in our mouths, clutching our teddy bears, and know the savior of the known universe and beyond, mr. obama, was still at the helm of the ship of state; leaking as it was. Hence your favor to us all with your post. What sacrifice!

    CLOWN. Pathetic Clown. You are the human equivalent of a drone bee at the onset of winter; kicked out of the hive because they can't produce.

  4. Our vary own parrot, Philoctes a.k.a Fred refuses to learn mathematics and yet he knows about Climate change.


    So Doctor Philoctes sire how is that the models diverged from the balloon and satellite data sets since the late 1990s?

    When forecasts diverge from actual data long enough and by enough, we come up with a new forecast.

    Now the APICS people teach that forecast will invariably be wrong. That's it. Wrong. But you still have to make them. However although a forecast will invariably fail and a new forecast created, the amount of error is studied and matters. It matters a great deal.

    As off as the IPCC models have been, it behooves them to come up with new models and explain why they were off. They have not done so.


    About the proposed hotel:

    A Putin Penthouse, Mar-A-Lago, and Trump’s Marketing Angles

    Manafort who worked for Trump for 3 months is no longer a witness. His testimony has been tainted by Bob Muellish himself. Bobby poised that well.

    I predict that Cohen will be a nothing burger as well.

    Bob Mueller will taint the law profession for a long time to come.

    His name will live in infamy.

  6. Mousing over your link and it says ZMEscience & monkey small testicles.

    That is so clever Fred Lapides.

    You must be extremely pleased with your little joke.

    "Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting."

  7. Wrong on Manafort...he tried to scam Mueller and got caught out...now hoping Trump will issue a pardon. try reading in full rather than skimming with mouse to get gist of what is said and then rethink your insults...you did not do very well on last insult. must be nap time or change diaper time
