Hmmm
A countercoup, I see. Oh, well, all in the name of a peaceful transition of power. I hope your Administration doesn't suffer from leakage, Ami. I'm off to the woods after marking my place. Grin

Great thread title, as always.

The Aftermath has always been of concern to me, Lweji.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 02/03/2017 18:46

Great thread title, as always.

HamletsSister beat me to it. I love the use of NM as the dark side equivalent of MN. Lovely contextualisation. (Although Lweji must be credited for keeping things on track in our hour of need.)

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 02/03/2017 18:47

Also, I find Michelle Obama's lovely warm body language towards Dubya particularly fascinating given how frosty she was towards Trump on inauguration day.

According to CNN, Trump transition team canceled ethics training session

"President Donald Trump's transition team, days before he took office, nixed plans for an orientation class that would have prepared political appointees and White House staff for a series of ethical and legal issues, documents provided to CNN show."

Today I watched legislators wander the Capitol looking for a draft bill. One spoke to a statue. Very normal stuff.

GOP says Sessions has no conflicts on Russia investigation. So I guess Sessions will be deposing Sessions to find out what Sessions said.

Confused

He's mortally wounded, either way.

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:07

I know! Jeez, it might have helped them, the idiots. (Although if your stated intention is to destroy the system, why start by cooperating I guess).

Apparently Trump'll be speaking at 2.30pm US time?

So, some news orgs can't even get in to WH press events, but others are allowed to usher people into the Oval to discuss policy? COOL.

I hope his address is an utter shit storm that causes people to go into action. This is getting absolutely ridiculous now.

"Daniel Dale Retweeted POLITICO
Spicer in 72 hours: I meant that Mr. Sessions was heterosexual while mistakenly claiming he never talked to Russians."

That was my first thought when I read Spicer's comment. Grin
They always use double meanings. Quite useful.

Who asked something like what is it that they don't like about Obama?

That expression "Is it because I is black" springs to mind. But I think they'd have any issue with a popular (at least recently) Democrat President.
