    I used Lord's tweets because my first response was WTAF and my second was he is joking and I think we should know all about the views that people who are seeking public office hold.

    Trump asked Aussie PM to assist with an investigation into Mueller's investigation. Aussie PM agreed to help.

    These days I generally specifically avoid anything featuring Hillary, on the grounds the world would probably be a much better place if she quietly faded into the history books and left shaping the future to those that are going to live that future.

    But this three minute clip is def worth it.

    So, Trump and company are after former Aussie Foreign Affairs minister (and iirc well respected senior diplomat prior to entering politics), Alexander Downer:

    The Mueller investigation began after Australia’s former foreign affairs minister, Downer, was allegedly told about the interference by George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign aide. Downer then informed the FBI…

    ​According to Downer, Papadopoulos told him during “a night of heavy drinking”​ in May 2016 ​that Russia had obtained damaging information about Hillary Clinton from her emails…

    On Tuesday, Downer happened to be a guest on ABC’s Radio National breakfast program, discussing China, when the story broke. “I had no idea until this moment you were going to talk to me about this,” he said.

    “I’ve got nothing to say about it beyond what I’ve ever said. I don’t know anything at all about conversations that Scott Morrison has had with Donald Trump. These days it’s not something I am privy to.

        some say he is a reptilian shape-shifter –

        others that he is the spawn/outcome from a scientific-experiment gone terribly wrong..

        i think it is much simpler than that..

        i look at him in his artfully ripped/dried-sperm-splattered jeans –

        and think he is a total tragic fashion-victim..

        and that he is just a rightwing richard-head..

        (hope that helps..)
