US intelligence told Israeli counterparts not to give too much secret info to Trump. Why? It'll go to Russia...then to Iran. @haaretzcom

This is our very very special thread. It's fantastic.

SKYPE Post.

Do you agree with me that this is the best thread so far? I have seen some threads but I am sure, Commander Spicer, that this is the best thread ever?

My poor brain can't process all this shit. I think that's the point isn't it? Bamboozle all and get on with ... Not sure what.

Mostly placemarking, but also reminding people that Trump's activities at presidential level have encouraged a whole load of copycat nuttiness at state level.

Arkansas outlawing D&E abortions, and allowing putative fathers to sue abortion providers if their women folk step out of line (and out of the kitchen) to have abortions.

South Dakota overturns law to stamp out corruption and bribery. ('Cos remember, we're all about draining the swamp, people, unless it's our swamp and backers are prepared to bung us large amounts of cash in brown envelopes).

8! Place marking. Thanks

I'm copying this over from the previous thread, hope you don't mind.

I'm currently on a job with someone who voted trump. He is so happy right now. He is looking forward to the wall, says all the news is fake and HATES planned parenthood.
He must have been brainwashed. That's the only answer. I think he's probably the only person in this city who voted for him.

It's the Good 'Ol Boys' Club, M0stly.

What is planned parenthood?

[OhMrsQ]

Planned parenthood- as pp said, although most of what it provides is contraception and associated health checks, abortion is just one part of its services.

[M0stlyHet]

Yup, good 'ol boys. Maybe it's time for a rousing chorus of
