That short Al Gore piece is very.........thought provoking. I hope it's played often, Lweji.

AcrossthePond55 · 02/06/2017 22:57

If Trump blocks people legally subpoena'd or who volunteer to testify then we are rapidly approaching the end of democracy as we know it. That is an abuse of power the likes of which we've never seen, not even in the Nixon years.

Legally, I haven't the expertise - although most who do say he can't. In practical terms, I think it would be impossible for him.

Is the Al Gore thing as scary as the original was?
Still have freakouts about that Blush.
Daft I know but a middle age housewife losing sleep from watching it won't do much good, and will definitely harm me and my family.
And extrapolate from that...and Trump still sits.

It's fairly short, 7. Telling - but watchable, I reckon. (And if you've seen the original............)

Confused Wasn't there a typo in that thread title? ^^

Are MNHQ's guardian SPaGers watching over us, or is my tiny brain having a bedtime moment?

cozietoesie · 02/06/2017 23:48

There was. It's seemingly been fixed. Smile

White House confirms: They are reviewing whether to invoke executive privilege to prevent Comey from testifying before a congress next week.

Looks like they may try anyway.

PerkingFaintly · 03/06/2017 00:08

That's strong stuff from Der Spiegel - thanks for the link, Federer.

I'm reminded of what John Brennan said to the House Select Committee on Intelligence: Russian interference is about deepening divisions.

Regardless of whether the toddler was having a "Shan't!' moment, or whether someone was whispering in his ear, the outcome has been deepened divisions.

cozietoesie · 03/06/2017 00:09

Any invocation would be very different in nature to those under previous Presidents and they'd almost certainly lose Congress. Between a rock and a hard place.

cozietoesie · 03/06/2017 00:09

Oh Yes indeed, Perking.

MsHooliesCardigan · 03/06/2017 00:47

I am slightly (but honestly only slightly) drunk. I just want to thank all of you so much for these threads and for the Referendum/Brexit threads. There are so many incredibly intelligent and well informed posters on here. I have learned so much more than I would have done from MSM. I genuinely think Mumsnet is saving my sanity at the moment. Thanks again. See you tomorrow to fight another day x

I think you're supposed to pass the message along to people who haven't lost sleep yet and vote GOP.

Sleep tight, MrsHoolies. (Although I guess that's only 'slightly tight' Wink)
