Melania Trump had kidney surgery yesterday. trump tweeted: “Heading over to Walter Reed Medical Center to see our great First Lady, Melania. Successful procedure, she is in good spirits. Thank you to all of the well-wishers!”

But he didn't bother to go....

Really?

What a sham of a marriage.

It’s a businesss arrangement. You now what (shudder) for unlimited money.

[Gameface]

After a quick Google most reports say he did visit her.

Doesn't matter either way. It's still a sham.

I've no real feelings for her either way, but at least she's sensible enough to keep her head down which gains her sympathy thanks to Trumps boorish behaviour.

Trump got played all ways.

Yep. This is a strong move by NK as it puts Trump in a difficult position. North Korea have said Bolton is "repugnant," so any deal with them will be dependent on how Trump deals with that fact. Does Trump chase a Korean deal at the expense of Bolton?

For a country with such limited foreign policy experience, it would seem that North Korea are playing all this very well.

But then again, they're not exactly dealing with a genius.

She went on TV promoting Comrade Orange's Birther disgrace, so she does not get any sympathy from me, appalling as the arrangement must be for her. I can't think of anyone who has been more publicly humiliated than that woman. If it wasn’t for her Birther complicity I think I would feel sorry for her.

But, she joined in, so does not deserve any sympathy.

I also struggle to have sympathy for her.

She married him for his money. She knows it and he knows it. That's precisely why he knows he can treat her like st and she can't/won't leave him.

If she had any self-respect she'd have dumped him as soon as the Stormy Affair became public knolwedge. However, if she had any self-respect it's unlikely she would have married him in the first place.

Yeah I knew that. Add in the fact that she clearly married a man she can't stand for money and I'm totally ambivalent towards her.

I have a feeling she's being pressured not to divorce him while he's in office though, which is disgusting.

At least you lot have moved on from talking about Charles and Diana's marriage.

Apologies - early reports said he hadn't left the white house for some time after he tweeted that

Surprise! Trump the Bigliest Dealmaker got played.

I can't believe some people where naive enough to think Trump could bring about peace.

Manafort's attempt to have his charges overthrown has failed. Judge sets out 37 page judgement stating how Mueller is acting completely within his authority in his case.

"See - he's come up with nothing!"

- Trump fans

In denying Manafort’s request to dismiss his DC case judge writes in her opinion “The Special Counsel would have been remiss to ignore such an obvious potential link between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.”

So any criticism of Israel at all is classed as anti-semitism ?

Some do appear to think so.

Interestingly, I once worked with an Israeli Jewish man who was quite critical of his government's actions regarding establishing settlements on Palestinian land and other things. He suggested that a lot of Israelis thought similar. Are they anti-Semitic or anti-Israel?

The Israeli government have explicitly stated that the BDS movement is anti-semitic.

That would be the movement attempting to change Israeli government policy towards Gaza.

So according to Netanyahu, criticism of government policy is anti-semitic.

You don't have to answer, genuinely wondering what you are talking about. I can't work out if you are profound or not really understanding what people are talking about?

Probably a stable genus and I am just a bit slow.

Please help me and your post count by being a touch clearer for us laymen.

For me to guess I would say people are commenting on Trump (in the trump thread) and you are waving a "hey don;t look there at that bad thing, look at this unrelated thing thing/ broad insult"

I think they'd be called a "self-hating Jew".

Seems consistent, I've been called an Anti-Semite and a Nazi for criticising Israel's breach of Article 49 of the Geneva Convention, using weapons banned by said act against unarmed civilians causes a military response if you are Syria but not even condemnation if you are Israel

Tonight in Pennsylvania, Representative-elect Helen Tai flipped House District 178 from red to blue, ending Republicans' 35-year-hold on the district and marking Democrats’ 41st flip since the 2016 election.

I've also been called an anti-Semite for voicing the same criticisms and I'm Jewish!!!

A state seat? Is 41 a lot? Is this a good indicator of the NOvember national elections?
