I heard President Trump's attack against the woman that accused Kavanagh of rape
It was appalling, a humiliating affront to the dignity of Office of the President of the USA
Although I have a lot of timne for his policies and his ability to get things done, this gross hysterical rant surely makes him unfit for Office.
The man is unbalanced
At about the same time the criminal thug Putin attacked Skripal, the man that was attacked in Salisbury with a toxic poison; he called him a scum-bag. Putin is not unbalanced, he is deadly. He is evil, the criminal head of a corrupt, criminal state.
Trump andPputin are possibly the two most dangerous men in the world; of the two, Putin is the most dangerous - he does not have (or disregards) the checks and balances that a democrtaic state has to control the exercise of power

I agree mostly. Putin is crazy. Not as much as Trump, tho.
I think Putin is less dangerous than Trump.
After all, Trump is unbalanced, and can't be trusted. And Putin is simply evil.

What I find puzzling is the pure ineptitude of Putins mobsters. The recent events in Holland for example. Had it been Mossad they would have been in, and out with the information without anyone being any the wiser. They probably have....

There is something very odd about it all, aqs if Putin is sending the West some message

The only people who really need my foreign diplomats are ex-pats and they are of no importance. My money is locked up where it can't be touched. Anyone who crosses me in my own country will only ever try it once, so eff off.

But Putin, tho vile, is just chipping away, for the moment.
Trump, however, seems quite capable of blowing up quite a lot of people quite soon on grounds of his making.

I'm amazed that anyone now can be surprised by anything Donald Trump says. (I suppose I expect him never to say things like "It was my fault" or "I accept the blame"). I think he is out of his depth as president. My worry is that, if his foreign policy doesn't go to plan (eg N Korea doesn't do what he thought they would do) he is unstable enough to unleash WMD in a fit of pique.
Putin is obviously a more ruthless and calculating man who doesn't care if people get killed as long as it suits his purposes.

Trump's modus operandi is always to avoid blame, so he won't press the red button because that would identify him as the culprit. Putin knows that Trump is (a) a coward and (b) indebted to Putin's friends, so he orchestrates a few spectacular assassinations and system failures on third-party soil just to remind Trump of the penalty for misbehaving.
On a completely irrelevant line of pedantry, I note jonjel has fallen into the common misuse of a hyphen! "Ex-Pats" are individuals who have relinquished Irish nationality. Expats (expatrials) are people who live outside their native country but retain their nationality. There are lots of American ex-Pats in the USA, and lots of Irish expats in Britain: all very welcome, but the hyphen determines your voting rights!

Interesting. I don't agree with any of you. Trump didn't "attack" as far as I saw "the woman". He ridiculed her testimony. That seems fair enough to me - it's ridiculous. Sorry, but it is.

jonjel is a monster, and shouldn't be allowed to hyphenate, especially in mixed company.
Meanwhile, Trump has got his man onto the Supreme Court for the next 30-40 years.

It's not ineptitude. They're challenges.
