Joe, the only physical evidence was a sketch on a napkin that showed a U238 core surrounded by circle of TNT. I saw an old CIA analysis that stressed the religion of the Rosenbergs being paramount in keeping all Jews intimidated and controllable.

So, this week's story is that the FBI has been investigating Donald Trump for being a Russian agent. It's even being reported by National Public Radio. Back in 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for being agents for Soviet Russia - leaving children behind to live in shame. How are Trump's actions different from those of the Rosenbergs?

What Donuel says about Kathy Griffin is untrue. No crime in *pretending* to behead the prez. She was charged, and the charges were of course dropped, with *actually* trying to behead him. Which would be a crime.

Mr. Laufman chief of counter intelligence for the FBI has written "now is the time for all good men and women come to the aid of their country." after the NYT exposed the fact that the FBI opened an investigation of Trump being an agent of Russia.

He is gently introducing the obvious to the people of the US who are about a year behind the information curve. Although Trump says "I never worked for Russia" he may be a useful idiot for Putin or a stupid dupe via extortion and bribery or a spy for Russia in return for profit.

"I never worked for Russia" is the 'I am not a crook moment' in history.

A catch-22 is a paradoxical situation from which an individual cannot escape because of contradictory rules. Catch-22s often result from rules, regulations, or procedures that an individual is subject to, but has no control over, because to fight the rule is to accept it.

For those government workers out of work with no pay check it is actually illegal for them to get another job anywhere. It would have to be reviewed by an ethics committee and the ethics bureau is shut down.

You may hear that all missed salaries will be reimbursed but there is no existing Congressional law that guarantees that. In other normal times Congress helped reimbursements but these are not normal times.

Lies are being spewed fast and furiously by White house cabinet figures and the President but no one knows if a national emergency can be based on an obvious lie.

IRS forms are unavailable to people seeking to mortgage a home. But buying homes with cash is OK. It is ironic to expect border agents to work for free or dangerous to have air traffic controllers volunter to work for free.

By this weekend the Trump shutdown will be the longest shut down in history.

How many will quit is unknown.

Trump either doesn't understand trade, or deliberately misrepresents it. A couple of days ago he was saying that if tariffs stayed in place, "China will be paying us lots of money". Wrong Donald, the tariffs are on imports, it is American consumers who will be paying lots of money. Tariffs are a direct tax on consumers.

What is bad is the limited and type of knowledge Trump relies upon. He is a cash flow investor of a small family business compared to the big boys like Marriot and large Casinos. He also believes that for him to win demands there is a loser. Humiliation is an unneeded part of his business equation.
This does not bode well for foreign policy or Allie formation. It also allows for corruption, lying and bribes to be part of his business model.

To be honest I think Thatcher felt like a nightmare, an unfolding nightmare. And the madder she got - the more her followers (and there were millions,   of them. many of them with impressive degrees, - all the tags of civilisation and education) loved it.

I felt she changed our country into county hell. And the strange thing is - all the people from our class living in our part of the country felt the same. and we all voted out in the referendum - because although Thatch pretended to despise the EEC, she used its regulations to flatten the bastions of union power - the car, the mining, the steel, the rail industry. utter arsehole!

she was like that all the time - she used to pretend to want stuff, like the reintroduction of capital punishment. even though she must have known it would have sent the NI situation off into the stratosphere.

I see Trump as a bit of a swaggering villain. But compared to Mrs T, he seems guileless.

everything IS relative, is it not!

"a rock of solid common sense," says one opinion on this thread,
referring to the General nicknamed "Mad Dog."   

"a model of common sense and restraint," says one opinion, however sardonically, on the television celebrity whose apprentice successes included the late Joan Rivers
and who "fired" Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth as she was then.

The previous post did not use the words
"impulse control"   but that is how I sum up the opinion of Trump
in the post before this one.
And I agree about Thatcher being fixated and stuck.

One more thing:
I want Hilary Rodham Clinton to stay alive and well.
We need her and we need her working for us, and working hard.
For that reason I don't want Mrs. Clinton in the Oval Office --
she would never survive mentally, even if she survived physically.
But then,
I agree with that chestnut opinion, which I won't say correctly,
that anybody who wants the Oval Office job
has to be out of their heads anyhow.

Or are you arguing that a crazy PM is easier to deal with in a Parlee-alimentary Structured Government?

Precisely. Getting rid of a PM is pretty straightforward. Getting rid of a President is a lot harder.

Also, if a ceremonial Head of State goes crazy like Trump, it wouldn't really matter too much. Likely enough it wouldn't even be noticed, and if it was it'd probably be seen as just amusing, though some people would object to being embarrassed.

Ah, one of my most vivid memories of taking a university course
in some category of government history.

The subtle and wry professor presented the paradox with the polish
of someone who presents it every term, rain or shine. He said:

The majority of first-world countries have a head of state and they have a head of government, and they are two different people with two different jobs.
For example, the constitutional monarchy, which has a queen or a king, as the head of state,
and also has a prime minister as the head of government.
Another example,
the country which has a Madame le premier ministre, that is when le premier ministre is not male for a change,
and has a President who is the head of state.

You know what's odd, the professor said?
The United States only has one individual as
both head of state and head of government.
The other first-world countries aren't like that;
the other countries that have one individual doing both functions
tend to be dictatorships

--pregnant pause:
"But that doesn't mean anything."
Swift change of subject,
and I sat there, in the back of the classroom,
with red lights flashing in my mind's eye.

It rings ominously true today.

Pedant strikes again: Roosevelt didn't in fact serve four terms. He just got elected four times.

It strikes me the whole idea of an executive President is a pretty daft idea. It seems to work out far better having a ceremonial one like many countries do. Then if they turn out to be crazy it doesn’t really matter too much. And it doesn’t,t see to make any difference if a ceremonial head of state is elected or hereditary either.

what else will have been taken down?
Will this still be one nation, under who knows what,
