Okay re the France thing - girl's name is Sarah, one of the males is called Thomas. No specific info as to where they are from.

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 15:00

cozie well, yes, important to note that. But that ANYONE thinks it's okay for the President to be mr supreme ruler is a bit frightening IMO

A goodly proportion of those will likely - from the sound of things - have checked him for lizard teeth and will assume, in the absence of those, that what he does has to be OK.

Oh - and they don't generally understand non-personal money, either.

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 15:13

Alright. Here are my thoughts (if you want them):

Bannon is behind this rewrite of the EO. If he can get it through today (meaning bang it out quickly as per usual), then Kushner is nowhere near to step in, and we'll have our usual Saturday Shit Session.

Because they're pissed off, it will likely be much more vicious.

Anyone?

cozietoesie · 10/02/2017 15:14

They're not allies, are they?

CaveMum · 10/02/2017 15:16

I wonder if Melissa McCarthy might don an Ivanka dress for her next SML skit.

cozietoesie · 10/02/2017 15:26

She or Rosie. But it would only work if they're playing men. Wink

Formerpigwrestler9 · 10/02/2017 16:03

Trump voters not down w/ checks and balances though- 51/33 they think Trump should be able to reverse court decisions he doesn't agree with
they're in favour of a dictator when his views and actions and align with (what they perceive as) their own interests, and it doesnt occur to them that he is highly likely to do things which dont benefit them.
They see themselves as self evidently good and right as opposed to the obviously bad and wrong who will be targeted by their hero.

even so it's surprising that anyone is unaware of the 'absolute power corrupts absolutely' maxim

CaveMum · 10/02/2017 16:11

cozie, that's what I meant - Melissa McCarthy should do her Angry Spice turn in an Ivanka dress.

Looking forward to The Last Leg's take on everything tonight. It's really the only political satire show we have on mainstream tv now as I think HIGNFY has lost its edge.
