there are some very dirty business relations between the Trumps & Russia, probably not explicitly tied to politics
In trying to cover up the former, the latter may very well be influenced. I think we are already seeing it.
okay so jared kushner will probably be thoroughly investigated maybe he already has been.. they will look at all of his business dealings, who he was worked with over the last few years.. who sold him all of their properties - we know the answer to that.
wt.. will the u.s government also investigate watchtower as well - we shall see.
you never know what will happen.. i can see a private investigation who knows what they will uncover.. just a thought.. wgo..

what can we make of this?
rice is on record being a racist and lying about benghazi, now this?
This is the problem with having numbskulls in charge who do not understand the Constitution or how government works. Pfffft!
there is a lot of talk about the usa's new president, mr trump.
he seems to be like what they say about marmite, people either love him or hate him.
is there any middle ground?.
Doesn't the UK still have a monarchy? I think that Trump is a d-bag, but I find it interesting that people from other countries have such strong opinions about a leader that is not sovereign over them.
So you're OK with Kim Jong Un? Nuclear bombs don't recognize sovereignty.
i'm thinking if these nuclear powers work together for a common interest lots of progress will have been made.
a total end of the cold war with russia is a good thing for the world.
once you get the burden of war with each other off the table i think a lot of good can be accomplished in bumping heads in how solve common goals best..
Yes.
Do not be naive about Putin's objectives. He wants to decimate Western influence globally. He is an authoritarian dictator. America (for all its faults) is a stop-gap against his objectives. So far, we are holding the line, but we have a prez who is in the thrall of this Russian leader. Putin sees Trump as the proverbial "useful idiot" - someone who can be manipulated. How is this good for western interests?
A sad day. America has disgraced itself.
i thank one of my former lecturers for drawing my attention to this overview.. after some 100 years, living out its "manifest destiny" dream, as the hegemon of the world, what has this 'dream' done to/for the usa?
the approaching presidential election provides an opportunity to examine this question.. and what of all the appendage organisations (like the wts) that rode across the world on the hegemon's coattails?.
the answer may be here: http://www.vox.com/2016/3/1/11127424/trump-authoritarianism.
The short explanation of Trump is that many Americans have bought into the erroneous belief that a country should be run like a business, even though,
"not everything that is profitable is of social value and not everything of social value is profitable."
the april 4th issue contains a very well-written and insightful article about the jws: "god's work" by kevin canty.
it's fiction, but on the money as far as the experience of an adolescent reconciling the beliefs with his natural biological urges.
boy, could i relate!
just found out that the australian governong body member known as geoffrey jackson got engaged to a sister about two weeks ago.
it really shocked me at first but then i remembered how other members of the gb have remarried in the past like daniel sidlik.
what made me say "woah" was hearing that the holy bride to be is really young!
warning, novel ahead:.
after a few months of lurking on this site, i've decided to take the plunge...i don't really care so much about introducing myself, but somehow there is some relief in the thought of getting my little story out there, just getting it out of my system.
i am the oldest of 5 kids.
I left at 23 also. Looking back after 4 decades, one regret is that I didn't leave sooner.
i celebrated my birthday for the first time today at 40 years old.
my wife was great.
she and some of my coworkers surprised me at lunch.
