Trump did say his presidency would be Brexit x 10, so far he's about right. Hopefully the world will learn from all this

I have no idea as I've not read the tweets, but we've heard this for so long now that "it's only a few days until he gets impeached". It seems too many of the left-wing luvvies have their knickers so twisted they are praying for things to go wrong.
A prime example of this is J K Rowling accusing Trump of ignoring a disabled boy. She got put in her place as being 100% wrong, but wasn't big enough to apologise to Trump for getting it wrong. She said she get it wrong, but didn't apologise and there's a big difference. These luvvies want to appear all pious and important, but aren't big enough to say sorry, so no better than Trump IMO.

The bolded quote is Louise Mensch lunacy. More measured commentators caution it is still months away yet. The investigation is proceding carefully, obviously not publishing their findings as they go, and process will be followed correctly. So far the fire isn't revealed - just the billowing smoke.

Nice bit of false equivalency there. Okay Trump may have repeatedly lied, colluded with an enemy power, obstructed justice, used the presidency for personal financial gain, and used all the power available to him in a personal vendetta to undo the legislation of the previous president because his feelings were hurt by a joke at a press dinner, but an author of kids books actually said something on Twitter that was untrue, so she is just as bad.

Not at all. I am no fan of Trump, but then again Clinton is a nasty piece of work IMO too. Do I think Trump is doing a good job? - no. However, it's amusing to see the rejection of the Paris accord and the luvvies getting all upset about this saying he doesn't have the authority, when he has as much authority to get rid of this as Obama had to implement it.
Regarding your other comments as to what he has/hasn't done. These are accusations which are not proven yet and come from the luvvies in the press who object to his style. I know fake news is a favourite buzz-word at the moment, but news outlets are all responsible for the excessive sensationalising of any news event. We even see it in the reporting of weather events like flooding FFS. They get the camera angle in such a place to make it look really bad, but if you pan the camera out and see the reality it's not as extreme as portrayed. You get boxing fights as "Fight of the Century", etc, etc. So yes, I am sceptical of news reporting as so much is misrepresented IMO. Too many people want to be the news and not report actual, factual news.

Yes but you said: "The facts that hillary had a private sevrerm which was acid washed and smashed up" and so far have given me (disputed) references to two laptops being destroyed and a number of emails being deleted - leaving aside acid washed which seems to mean whatever you and Trump decide - where is the evidence that a server has been smashed up?
I take it you were at the inauguration?
She has apologised in some detail.

She played the man and then said she got it wrong. Never apologised to the man she wronged.
Accusing someone of doing something and then not apologising to that person is not right. She tried to take the high ground on an issue of morality. yet fails on morality. I'm not defending Trump - I just think there is too much of a witch hunt here. There are questionable things about him (but there were about Hilary and deleting emails too), but some of the accusations appear to be spite and no more. The more of this "crying wolf" there is about him, the less believable it becomes.
I think the new appointment of the general will be a good thing as long as Trump has the ability to listen to him.
If he does stay, the circus of events needs to go away for the sake of the world.
White House officials tricked by email prankster says Fake News CNN
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/31/p...ficials-tricked-by-email-prankster/index.html
A self-described "email prankster" in the UK fooled a number of White House officials into thinking he was other officials, including an episode where he convinced the White House official tasked with cyber security that he was Jared Kushner and received that official's private email address unsolicited.
"Tom, we are arranging a bit of a soirée towards the end of August," the fake Jared Kushner on an Outlook account wrote to the official White House email account of Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert. "It would be great if you could make it, I promise food of at least comparible (sic) quality to that which we ate in Iraq. Should be a great evening."
Bossert wrote back: "Thanks, Jared. With a promise like that, I can't refuse. Also, if you ever need it, my personal email is" (redacted).

Why on earth would they be discussing the adoption of Russian children? Bizarrer and bizarrer.

It's because Putin stopped those adoptions as retaliation for the Magnitsky Act - which cracks down on Putin's top cronies money laundering and access to assets bought in the US. So talking about adoptions really means talking about lifting the Magnitsky Act.

Thanks for the info. So... he's effectively helping Putin's cronies? In the middle of an election campaign?

Well we shall see what comes out in the end, but it doesn't look good.
Apparently yesterday's removal of Scaramucci was "a great day for the White House" according to Trump on Twitter.
