Muller played the Republicans yesterday into admitting that Trump could and should be charged with obstruction when he leaves office.
He'll probably pardon himself for crimes he claims he was exonerated for
You boys are watching too many movies. He is an incredibly impressive investigator and a highly decorated former military officer and former FBI director.
He was giving evidence where he had to be very careful not to cross any of a great number of legal lines. He had to avoid characterising findings in any political or partisan way. He had to avoid prejudicing any future investigation and/or prosecution. He also had to put everything through the lens of the OLC report in terms of what they could and could not do legally.
If you want Elliott Ness go watch Untouchables - Ness was nothing like Costner but sure you might as well keep living in that fantasy world.
“That fantasy world” is the world most American inhabit, I’m not expecting him to be Elliott ness /Batman but that is what the likes of CNN/WaPo/the Colbert’s of this world have been characterizing him as for 3 years now
He also genuinely did not come across as completely with it, to be expected from a 74 year old. Wasn’t expecting grandstanding but was some basic articulacy too much to ask for?
Gutted to learn Elliott ness didn’t really throw one of al Capone’s henchman off the roof of a courthouse though. Thanks for clearing that up

Can’t wait to paint the EU flag on my face and belt out all the old classics like “Europe!Europe!Europe!And what's left of the UK! Europe!Europe!Europe!”

Not doing a #DennyCrane4Trump on this, but he has had a kinda impressive start. He will almost certainly lose eventually. But he isn't a fool by any stretch of the imagination.

Totally different track, was in pp yesterday and a horse was withdrawn from a race and pp's in shop "info girl" says "it's ok it's number 9 , number 9 is always an outsider ". And these loolahs give their fancies to punters from time to time. She then said a horse just got up in the shadow of the post even though he was never headed for the entire race.
One of them regularly mispronounces horses names. Recently she decided 'Franz Kafka' was a weird name for a horse after stumbling over it two or three times before spitting it out like it was an alien language.
Yesterday she blithely mispronounced "Harpocrates' clearly oblivious it was a play on 'Hippocrates' (like in the oath).
And if I hear yer wan who routinely half aftertimes the daily onscreen doubles after the first one has obliged by saying punters will now have a 'tasty docket in their back pocket' I'll, I'll,... fume quietly. Again.
This is a putsch, hard right anti EU party with no place for any dissent.
Tory sheep will weakly hang in behind him until they are not needed.
Someone could lead an exodus to the Lib Dems but it won't happen because they are too spineless.
It says all you need to now about Corbyn that he still couldn't get a VONC through or indeed win a snap GE in the face of the most inept, disorganized and fractured Tory government in living memory

“So England won the toss, elected to bat, and eight hours later their openers were 0-0 at the close. All of Geoffrey Boycott’s dreams have finally come true.”

How is he expected to get a VONC through when the government he is VONCing has a majority. He can't defy mathematics.
And it's unfair to retrospectively diss his achievements in the 2017 snap election. May wasn't seen as incompetent at the time nor the government as inept - the Tories were 20 points clear in the polls, she herself had huge 'popularity' numbers.
If they were fractured it was perceived as being because they were being held back by a few rebels taking advantage of the small parliamentary majority bequeathed by Cameron.
The snap election was an open goal to increase that majority and 400+ seats for the Tories was the expected result with the bookies. Over the 5 weeks of the campaign Corbyn destroyed their aim with an excellent and inspiring campaign (aided by a terrible Tory campaign).

All bets are off predictions are useless but nevertheless...
Might be that they are planning to no deal 31/10 and immediately call an election for 3 weeks later before reality bites.
He has already made 31/10 such a hostage to fortune that if parliament blocks no deal he will have to try to suspending it to fall out by default.
I can't see how a government that forces through no deal gets elected in the spring.
That he has created the cabinet he has ought to have had c.100 of his MP's sign up for the LibDems this morning but they are too lily livered and weak to move and will row in behind him until they are made irrelevant after the next election.

He is not a good parliamentarian unfortunately.
But could he do it again and in the face of a Boris / Cummings juggernaut?
I agree he ran a great campaign in 17 but has he not squandered all the goodwill and momentum ( ) and made himself unelectable since then?

The important thing is he has to be given equal tv time over the course of a campaign, that was one of the key things last time out. So it was a sudden surprise for people to see that JC the Bogeyman of tabloid legend was a fallacy.
But I actually agree, I don't think he could do it again.
But as I said that doesn't mean that 2017 can be re-written as a failure.
Re the Boris/Cummings juggernaut - you could equally argue that Cummings may not be able to repeat his tricks either - that what was successful in a Y/N referendum may not translate to a GE.
Skellig Landing tour canceled again for 2moro. That's 0/6 attempts now.
This lady and her partner are living on the Grrat Blasket for the summer, running the little guest house on the island. Can see why your trip was cancelled
What's a must to do while in Lisbon..... Currently here sitting not knowing what to do.
Time Out market for food. Loads of cool suppliers under one roof. Wander around Bairro Alto afterwards. - Av. 24 de Julho 49, 1200-479 Lisboa, Portugal

Curently in Time out eating some weird crumb stuffed ball yokes. One has cuttle fish with ink in it. Yuk 🤣
The place is fucking jammers. Came in here at the wrong time.
Booked a 45 min speed boat for 3pm. I'll prob get the runs on it after what I just ate 🙈😂
go to pizzaria cassanova down by cruise ship port, sit outside, drink cold beers and eat pizza diavola beside the water.
+1. This guy eats!
Probably the most enjoyable meal I had in a few days in Lisbon and great location. Right beside a main train/metro hub and a short walk to old town Afalma district. Its very cheap and the food is great.

I actually passed that but kept walking. I'll do that after the boat trip minus the pizza.

Always stuck me as a watch for unimaginative people, seems to happen a lot that people come into money, feel they need to get a watch and can't look past a Rolex

"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
That RTE investigates program last night on the Creches in Dublin a very difficult watch.
I wouldn't watch it but those that did at home were very upset by it.
I just wonder if it was really necessary for RTE to have to show that instead of just working with the licensing authorities to see that action is taken.
Obviously though there is something rotten in the licensing system, they ran 2500 inspections this year but still someone thought they could get away with that shit.
All the GC players tried one after another to kill Alaphilippe but he finished strongest of them all. Bernal could only pick up 30 secs and Thomas couldn't get a yard on him. And yet there just enough weakness shown on the pointy end of the climb to keep them thinking they can break him tomorrow or Saturday.
Quintana found his gear and flew away from the breakaway and picked up 6 minutes so he'll probably try to do the same again tomorrow.

My sister had her iphone pinched from her bag waiting in line at a wine shop opposite her holiday apartment last week in Lisbon. She only noticed when she got back. Track my phone showed the phone up a side alley close by but went dead soon after. Keep aware.

Solid plan. It was at the very end and took the shine off for the group but shes not one to get worried about these things.
One of my lesser mentioned brothers on the other hand goes on holiday with a stick up wallet so if hes stuck up its just a dummy wallet. He wanted to go with wallet to chain before that!. Some character.

Best Tour in years.
Was wondering WTF you were on about, then realised I've been watching on ITV4+1.
Amazing how none of them get hospitalised here.
