Sorry.

I've had wine.

And, you know, enough.

cozietoesie · 14/08/2017 23:13

I know. Sad

catgirl1976 · 14/08/2017 23:13

Feels more cheerful.

PerkingFaintly · 14/08/2017 23:13

Cake to soak it up a little, Catgirl?

catgirl1976 · 14/08/2017 23:14

Sorry though :(

catgirl1976 · 14/08/2017 23:15

Thank you Perking

I have also been on no carbs for 10 days, and whilst I have trimmed off a few pounds I find myself unusually bad tempered and yearning for pizza.

This is no time to be no-carbing. My sympathies catgirl.

Everyone in certain places is cheerful today because Wall St had a Bigly rally. (Sort of expected of course. Wink)

Get back to the echo chamber ladies. I will self declare this thread a 'safe area', so you don't have to listen to that awful person who....disagrees with you

PerkingFaintly · 14/08/2017 23:19

Would you like to comment on the graph Catgirl so kindly provided, UnderCrackers?

PerkingFaintly · 14/08/2017 23:21

Also on why you think the USSR exists in 2017?

HowDoYouFeelNow · 14/08/2017 23:22

You do that, Underthecrackers. It's very telling that instead of explaining your position, you turn on others. Hope it makes you feel better.

PlectrumElectrum · 14/08/2017 23:25

I don't even have the energy for this place mark. But here it is.

Lurkers are welcome here, shit stirrers & goady fuckers, not so much.

As you were people, keep up the sterling work & KOKO.

badbadhusky · 14/08/2017 23:26

Why are we entertaining the goady fucker?

EdithSitwell · 14/08/2017 23:27

Notice how there were so much bigger oil price drops under Obama?

PerkingFaintly · 14/08/2017 23:35

From the article:

"Three days after Donald Trump named his campaign foreign policy team in March 2016, the youngest of the new advisers sent an email to seven campaign officials with the subject line: 'Meeting with Russian Leadership - Including Putin.'

"The adviser, George Papadopoulos, offered to set up 'a meeting between us and the Russian leadership to discuss US-Russia ties under President Trump,' telling them his Russian contacts welcomed the opportunity"
...
"To experts in Russian intelligence gathering, the Papadopoulos chain offers further evidence that Russians were looking for entry points and playing upon connections with lower-level aides to penetrate the 2016 campaign."

But some members of the campaign were concerned and didn't bite.

Effic · 14/08/2017 23:59

bore
Near the end of the book ( which I'll admit now I didn't think was very good after the initial premise & is a bit of a cop out really) there is however, a page or so, where 'Mac' explains (rants) at the two conspirators as to why the 'president' was elected and is still loved by a certain section of the population. It is probably the single most depressing, terrifying yet accuarate thing I've ever read and, even more horrifyingly looking at what us happening in Britain too, probably applies to more than just the America section of that population. It fills me with fear about the future..... how the f* did we end up here??

7Days · 14/08/2017 23:59

Brilliant.
I for one welcome a Trump supporter to show us the other side.
Show us your reasons undercracker

"Whatevs, sweetie." (That's to crackers, who surely IS).

Thanks Micro, for the new thread. Just marking my territory, erm, place.

TheClaws · 15/08/2017 00:48

Thanks for the new thread Microwave. Welcome Undercrackers, although I will never understand how you can like a man who grabs pussies and implicitly fuels racism while goading various countries via Twitter. I can think of better qualities in a President Smile
