I suspect they'll decide to let the lumber industry take point on this one. They have the stronger case.

I doubt it's 'threats', Lweji. More likely some promises. Wink

I wonder who will be assigned the blame if 45 has to concede on the wall? Smile

(Apart from the Democrats that is.)

I just hope Chaffetz is not defenestrated.

Well. If there were to be 'someone' - with associated pictures, phone records and audio - that would put a slightly different complexion on it. Wink

This thread is for all Muslims & non-Muslims who are misled to think the barbaric act of FGM has anything to do w/Islam—Please RT /1
#BanFGM

FGM is a barbaric practice dating back ~2000 years. Remember, Islam is only 1400 years old so this practice predates Islam by 6 centuries /2

The photo in that Brian Klass link is fab. Angela Merkel & Christine Lagarde look like they'd be a hoot on a night out. It's really nice to see a photo of Merkel laughing.

I suspect Merkel is one of those women with a wicked sense of humour under the steely exterior

Ivanka won't understand a word as I bet the joke was in French or German

GingerIvy · 25/04/2017 19:09

I saw a few clips - Ivanka really didn't come off well at all. And was booed. Not a good showing.

Cyber spies target German party think-tanks ahead of election
www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-election-cyber-idUSKBN17R273?feedName=worldNews&feedType=RSS

"Two foundations tied to Germany’s ruling coalition parties were attacked by the same cyber spy group that targeted the campaign of French presidential favorite Emmanuel Macron, a leading cyber security expert said on Tuesday.

"The group, dubbed 'Pawn Storm' by security firm Trend Micro, used email phishing tricks and attempted to install malware at think tanks tied to Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party and coalition partner, the Social Democratic Party (SPD), Feike Hacquebord said."
