Гоголь. Ревизор. Действие 5.

Высшие лица и чиновники Америки разыгрывают скетч-фарс SNL "после встречи с Путиным" - тут даже придумывать ничего не надо. С одной стороны, становится понятно, какой херней они постоянно занимаются из-за Fucking Moron(c). С другой - может, это лучше, чем если бы они работали.

Bill Shine, the newly minted deputy chief of staff for communications and a former Fox News executive, voiced concern that the White House needed to provide a new TV image so that networks would stop broadcasting images of Mr. Trump’s news conference in Helsinki, a person familiar with the matter said.

Еще очевидно, что тезис "смотрите на дела, а не на слова" не воспринимается серьезно людьми наверху, которые этот тезис продвигают.

The latest study, which draws on satellite temperature records from 1979 to 2016, is the first to pinpoint seasonal changes in the atmosphere. The odds that natural climate variability can account for the magnitude of the temperature changes over the course of the satellite record are roughly five in a million, researchers report on 19 July in Science.

Some seasonal climate trends cannot be explained without including warming caused by rising atmospheric greenhouse-gas concentrations, the scientists found. The most significant change was in the northern hemisphere, where the difference between summer and winter temperatures has increased by around 0.4 °C, mostly due to the fact that summer temperatures are rising more quickly.

La collusion

Imagine, Marie Le Pen was elected to become the President of France. In view of an e9M loan from a Russian bank and an application to get another e27M from the same(?) bank, would it be reasonable to appoint an independent counsel to investigate whether her campaign had backdoor deals with Russia?
