Nixon was my other thought, cozie. Yes, we need a Petrov. Weirdly in the matter of 1980s Cold War relations in The Americans, I am definitely on the side of the Russians -possibly because Matthew Rhys is cute and Noah Emmerich is a bit wet.

Many thanks for the new thread, orlantina. My ear worm is now guaranteed to last as long as this thread Flowers

Look on the bright side. We made July - which I thought we might not - and we might even make August. Smile

Inside the end of the Priebus era.

Sad, pathetic and quite uncomfortable reading.

Roussette · 30/07/2017 21:26

It's the last episode! cozie. I wish they hadn't mucked about with the time, was on at 9pm for most of it then changed to 10pm. Having read the book I'm interested how they're going to wrap it up.

cozietoesie · 30/07/2017 21:26

It is quite uncomfortable reading. Even more so because much of the commentary also applies to The Mooch.

hackmum · 30/07/2017 21:26

If collusion with the Russians isn't enough to finish him off, you'd hope that raping and threatening to kill a 12-year old girl might do it. But you never know with Trump supporters. They seem to greet every new allegation with "FAKE NEWS" or "Hillary was also raping 12-year old girls/selling secrets to the Russians".

cozietoesie · 30/07/2017 21:28

The last two Sundays have had full footie games scheduled, Roussette. I guess that they influenced the timing.

Gumpendorf · 30/07/2017 21:30

I'm not sure if this has been posted.

It's worth a read as I can definitely hear 'Blake' some of Trump's recent desperate tweets.

Peggy Noonan's article in WSJ is paywalled but this contains much of it:

"Hillary was also raping 12-year old girls/selling secrets to the Russians"

It's becoming a rerun of the election - each revelation is worse than last but they are given false equivalence or normalised and we move on Sad

cozietoesie · 30/07/2017 21:37

Peggy Noonan is scathing - but what she can't point out is that he thinks he is getting things done. He thinks he is John Wayne.

Agree they will use North Korea like some sort of computer game to distract people.
Presumably police are investigating Maria's charges.

Roussette · 30/07/2017 22:03

Liked that article Gump

lionheart · 30/07/2017 22:07

Maybe that's what the pizzagate nonsense was about.

BossyBitch · 30/07/2017 22:42

Ironically (if it weren't so scary serious) it's Trump who was due to go to court over the rape of a minor together with his buddy Epstein.

Seeing as the case never made it to court, there's of course a chance that the accuser withdrew due to this not actually being true - there is also, however, an at the very least decent chance that this happened due to his position rather than her having changed her view about the incident (IIRC there was at least one lawyer saying she withdrew after having been threatened at the time).

As a rule of thumb: if Trump accuses Hillary of anything at all, there's a reasonably decent chance he's guilty of it himself. See recent use of private phone controversy. And, no, that's not to say Clinton is always innocent, just that he has a proven track record of accusing her of stuff he's himself at least under suspicion on.

Thanks for the new thread Orlantina. I had to dip out of the madness for a bit as it was getting a bit much. The sanity break was good!
