I got 38/50. FAKE RESULT!!!!
(Actually, considering how much time I spend on these threads, it IS a pretty poor show.)

Ditto. I think the answers we got wrong were not covered much or debated on this thread. Must be whyHmm

BiglyBadgers · 11/03/2017 19:40

What?!! There is stuff we haven't been covering! This is an outrage! Shock

cozietoesie · 11/03/2017 19:43

SAD!!!

cozietoesie · 11/03/2017 19:44

(I just used up my exclamation mark quota for today on that. Grin)

Lweji · 11/03/2017 19:46

I don't think South Park was ever mentioned.

That attorney who refused to resign has been fired

I believe it was the sainted Terry Pratchett who said something along the lines of 'multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign of an u sound mind'

BiglyBadgers · 11/03/2017 19:49

Unsound....

cozietoesie · 11/03/2017 19:52

I wouldn't disagree. My mind has frequently been called 'u sound'. Grin

BoreOfWhabylon · 11/03/2017 20:09

I got 37/50

The best score ever! Higher than anyone else got. They only had FAKE SCORES!!

Thanks for the link to Amy Siskind's weekly recap, Pain.

I'm not posting much, but just about keeping a tenuous grip through this thread and the links.

cozietoesie · 11/03/2017 20:25

Thanks, Pain. Smile

saffronwblue · 11/03/2017 20:27

Embarrassed that I only got 35. Very early in the morning here or my results were HACKED.
Trying to imagine the conversation between 45 and Abbas.

This undocumented mother at an ICE check-in was first told she could stay another year. Then, she was called back in cnn.it/2naUA9l

The most appalling thing about this is the comments on the twitter feed under this, as people are saying "get her out" and "I'm sure she is on benefits" and "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." There's no compassion, no humanity left.

South Park must have been mentioned because I knew that one!

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 11/03/2017 21:14

There's no compassion, no humanity left.

There is a newish, still live thread in Classics at the mo documenting random acts of kindness that posters have been on the receiving end of. It is a helpful restorative to balance this one out. There are still good people in the world. Just none currently in the White House.

It is impossible that Mike Pence didn't know about Mike Flynn. snpy.tv/2noFbOW

cozietoesie · 11/03/2017 21:42

I agree. But this boils down to the same essential question as Watergate. 'What did the President know and when did he know it?'

The whole bunch of them are rotten, tainted. What's it going to take for the GOP to act?
