You gave me an awful mind-picture there, Lweji.

Just saw his tweets about the statues that are being removed. He just can't help himself can he?! Amazing stuff.

Unbelievable. He actually did bring the Middle East together.

So basically he's just mad. Only solution is containment or removal. Great article! ( But bloody terrifying...)

Looks like something may have happened in Barcelona involving a truck. I wonder how long it will take for Trump to tweet about this?

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 17/08/2017 16:46

ginger just saw that article and am hopeful the end is nigh!

Lweji · 17/08/2017 16:50

I think it was a white van that has driven into people in Barcelona. The news I saw only mentioned injured. I hope nobody died.

Makes a good point about how everything being acknowledged about trump now was easy to predict (95% black women voters rejected trump)

A note on Ivanka:

Indian diplomat likens Ivanka Trump to 'half-wit Saudi prince' ahead of summit where she will lead US delegation
"'It is a shame that the US should be compared to a kingdom,' says diplomat"

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ivanka-trump-india-summit-name-and-location-of-summit-half-wit-saudi-arabia-prince-us-delegation-a7887731.html

And of course it was bloody easy to predict. But, Supreme Court.

Thank you for the tweet instructions Roussette!

Mr O'Donnell from last night.

Hope it works Rhodiola !

it occurs to me the administration is defending the important heritage of Confederate statues a week after slamming the Statue of Liberty

PerkingFaintly · 17/08/2017 17:29

Depressingly, police are now saying it's a deliberate attack in Barcelona. Vehicles seem to be a weapon of choice, these days.Sad

They've also confirmed there are some fatalities.

orlantina · 17/08/2017 17:31

Trump's response to this will be interesting...

Lweji · 17/08/2017 17:45

From O'Donnell:

"Paul Ryan and other moral midgets." Grin

The problem, I suspect, is that many of those do not disagree with Trump and are, themselves, white supremacists. They just haven't been brave enough to say it.

Also, the "Muslim" President singing Amazing Grace, whereas the "good Christian" supports hate supremacists. Sad

Yes, everybody is happy that Trump didn't attend. He'd be awful.

Trump promised to preserve coveted historical friezes as he built Trump Tower. Then he destroyed them anyway. ---->

Every journalist who published a BREAKING NEWS story of a Republican attacking Trump: Nothing changed.

Their words are meaningless.

Well it's not quite 'Sauve qui peut' on Wall St but the markets aren't happy. (45 will be watching them.)

Roussette · 17/08/2017 18:08

Oh no not Barcelona Sad

Lweji · 17/08/2017 18:11

It's not clear, but there might have been two vans (a second was reportedly found) and one or two men are entrenched in a restaurant.
