The reset amounts to a setback for the ambitions of the snp, but its arguably also a retreat for the forces of change and disruption that have been dominating politics for so long. It was scotland that led the world into a new era of voter restlessness. A nationalist surge that saw snp Majority Rule in scotland and which paved the way for that Independence Referendum.

They must be at least some level read into whats going on in muellers shop, we would hope. This all looks like its designed to protect donald trump. Not get at the meat and potatoes of what russia did to us. I feel like so much of what were seeing is it to protect donald trump i dont know maybe im a little paranoid thinking that is disturbing. None of us are naive. But the part of it that i have been a little bit dismayed by is that its one thing for people who are partisans of the trump
administration or who are republicans and see it as their job to defend the president , to say, you know what, this collusion thing didnt happen. What russia did was terrible. We are against that.

Well talk to senator amee klobuchar who is set to question the tech billionaire. But first tonight u. S. Officials say north korea is willing to discuss denuclearization. Russia is calling a Chemical Attack on syrian soil fake news. And china is locked in the opening rounds of what may become a fullblown trade war. And for real this time, the president is acting out a riff he used throughout his campaign, determining who is a friend and who is a foe. Is that friend or foe . Is that friend . Friend or foe . Friend or foe . Hes friend. Okay. I think hes friend. Are you friend or foe . Are they friends . Friend or foe . Friend or foe . Friend. Its a choice the president has been disinclined to make where two men in particular are concerned, russian president Vladimir Putin and chinese president xi jinping. In a tweet sunday, President Trump actually criticized Vladimir Putin. In this case, slamming putins backing of syrian dictator bashar alassad. Thats on top of the toughest sanctions ye
