The thread where we meet to discuss the unfolding Trump administration catastrophe, but end up discussing adoptions from Russia

[illegitimateMortificadospawn]

If we can get our hands free to type from the constant facepalming, we should be able to post on this topic.

From Melissa McEwan's twitter feed I believe, Gum.

Ooh indeed!

[saffronwblue]

Good quality placemarking.

I disagree with her. We wouldn't have lost. There's no question it would be difficult - but we wouldn't have 'lost'.

Hallie Jackson @HallieJackson
.@POTUS, in new @Reuters interview, on Don Jr. talk with Russian lawyer: "I think many people would have held that meeting."

Doubling Down Donnie does it again

[cozietoesie]

'many' people? 'many'?? Oh he's blustering.

[cozietoesie]

The trouble might be that no-one is giving him a 'golden road of retreat'.

I know that if you're trying to set someone up, you've got to give them a bait. Dangle something..

But that email is just so obviously a red flag..

Can you imagine what MN would say?

AIBU to go to this meeting? My Dad is running for elected office. A rival competitor has offered to give me dirt on my competition because they want me to win. Should I go?

"I said, did you do it? And he said no, I did not. Absolutely not. I then asked him a second time in a totally different way. He said absolutely not," Trump said

Bigly placemark while I do bigly catch up on last thread.

[SanFranBear]

Posted this at the end of the last thread as didn't realise it has all moved on somewhat. As a little antidote to the stench that is the Trump presidency:

Great article which looks to be written by a Republican.. not obvious but the occasional turn of phrase makes me wonder...

[SanFranBear]

Wait - definitely not a Republican Would be nice though....

[lionheart]

Oh FFS! The Handmaid's Tale is starting to assume a near-future documentary-like feel. Have these Republican shits no shame? Certainly no "Christian" values.

Adam Schiff Retweeted Donald J. Trump
Which is most likely true:

1. WH is functioning perfectly,
   
2. @POTUS watches little TV, or
   
3. Moon is made of cheese.
   
   That's right, #3.Adam Schiff retweeted Donald J. Trump

   The W.H. is functioning perfectly, focused on HealthCare, Tax Cuts/Reform & many other things. I have very little time for watching T.V.
