We've got Presidential elections next year - I wonder if the Russians will try and influence them? A certain outrageous person with a Russian background and extreme Right Wing racist views has declared his intention to run for President (while being on the run from the police, currently hiding in Spain because there's a warrant out for him...). I'm going to keep an eye out for suspicious news articles and adverts concerning him or any other Russia-friendly candidate though I think any attempts by Russia will be futile as Niinistö (current President) is a shoe-in for re-election.

Kneeling at national anthem is much, much worse than nazis killing people.

Obviously.

More erosion:

When will people learn that fear won’t make someone sit down. It quite possibly will make more stand up for what they believe in.

Really interesting article from Ryan Lizza on these week's developments.

I've finally caught up with the thread. Sat down last night with a bottle of red to read so some of it's a bit fuzzy. Grin

Best way to tackle it set!

I like Colbert, Meyers, Fallon, Kimmel, Oliver, Noah and Bee. I just don't have the time to watch them all.

Still, I don't think Meyers did the best piece over Spicer's interview.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 23/09/2017 12:14

I've only watched his and colbert's bit on spicer but am happy to have recommendations!

This doesn't seem like it's going to end well:

All these missiles and explosions and whatnot is starting to worry me.

cozietoesie · 23/09/2017 14:08

No point in worrying. Go and deep clean something if you feel nervy. Smile

cozietoesie · 23/09/2017 15:10

That's one of the reasons why I reckon Mr Mueller will report sooner rather than later. Smile

Natsku · 23/09/2017 15:25

Not nervy enough to do any deep cleaning!

An interesting CNNMoney piece. They won't win but it will keep the issue prominent, hopefully.
