Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/font>The British Ambassador to the United States, Kim Darroch, explained on Monday that he had tried to conceal insulting remarks from Donald Trump by writing his cables in English.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believed that, by writing these messages in English, that would serve the same purpose as encryption,\u201d Darroch said. \u201cThe fact that Trump was somehow able to decode them remains deeply mysterious to me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Darroch said that, \u201cout of an abundance of caution,\u201d he took further steps to make the cables indecipherable to Trump, deploying multisyllabic words such as \u201cdysfunctional.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cClearly, I did not take into account the possibility that one of his aides might read these cables aloud to him and explain what all of the long words meant,\u201d he said. \u201cI was not aware that there was anyone at the White House capable of performing such duties.\u201d <\/p>\n

That explains it, Andy. I wonder if it was Barrf. RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font> <\/p>\n

From YouTube<\/a> (MSNBC Channel<\/a>): <\/font>Jeffrey Epstein, Called \u2018Terrific\u2019 By Trump, Charged With Sex Trafficking <\/p>\n
