Interesting points made in this article about how 'persons of interest' could avoid criminal charges. Will be interesting to see if Kushner still continues his offer to 'cooperate fully' with Congress.

How Congress Could Cripple Robert Mueller Granting Trump associates immunity in exchange for testimony could undermine a criminal investigation.

.@realDonaldTrump I'm a reporter in Portland. Do you have a comment about what happened here Friday night? Thanks.

A little tangential, I know, but I watched the first episode of 'The Handmaid's Tale' last night. Brilliant and disturbing, especially in view of the rise of right wing christian fundamentalism.

This article by Margaret Atwood is worth a read, I think

McCain visiting Australia and said Trump makes him 'nervous from time to time'.

Kushner

Natsku · 29/05/2017 13:03

I really want to watch the Handmaid's Tale series but its only come to HBO Nordic here which costs money to watch Angry I might have to wait until the full series is on their online thingy and then use the free month trial to watch it and then cancel.

cozietoesie · 29/05/2017 13:18

I've just watched the first episode on C4 catch-up. Good luck, Natsku.

Orlantina · 29/05/2017 13:22

I wonder of Trump will watch it?

Or his family?

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 29/05/2017 13:23

I know this isn't a handmaids tale thread, so I'll be brief. I thought the suffocating atmosphere was well-captured. I thought Nick was far too familiar & explained so to DH.

Could it happen? Men having autonomy over women's bodies?

North Korea has shown great disrespect for their neighbor, China, by shooting off yet another ballistic missile...but China is trying hard!

So...is this a red line?

Lweji · 29/05/2017 13:35

No, it's passing the red line to China because he has no clue on what to do about it.

Orlantina · 29/05/2017 13:37

Maybe it's just one of those things that are harder once you're actually in office Grin

Like healthcare
NATO
Education
Tax
Russia
Trade

It's disappointing he's not said anything about the two people killed standing up to hate.

originalbiglymavis · 29/05/2017 13:45

It doesn't suit his agenda. The people he assumes agree with him probably would mutter that the original guy was right to confront the bad moose-lamb dudettes and the victims should have kept their mouths shut. It's a bloody topsy turvy world.

Twittersphere is alive with theories about these red flashing lights at the WH last night. Suggestions start with staff doing a sweep for electronic bugs all the way through to treatment for Alzheimer's...

A challenge for you

As House of Cards starts a new season, who said what? Frank or Donald?

I got 13/15. One, I really should have known better. The second, I'm still impressed it came out of DT's mouth.

A tip. If you're not sure, sentence construction helps.

While John McCain is is usual GOP rebel.

Vladimir Putin is a bigger threat than Isis, John McCain says

The violent attacks in Portland on Friday are unacceptable. The victims were standing up to hate and intolerance. Our prayers are w/ them.

Took him long enough to reply.

cozietoesie · 29/05/2017 15:56

It likely wasn't written by him.

Lweji · 29/05/2017 16:03

He wouldn't write unacceptable.
But I'm sure he approved the message, so at least there's that.

originalbiglymavis · 29/05/2017 16:05

He would have said sad, bad or mad. I doubt he could spell anything much longer.
