There's no nuclear warhead on it. Which is the point of the agreement.

This is a bit overwhelming with how comprehensive it is, but here's a really very good thread recapping everything we know about trump-Russia stuff. I'd forgotten loads and it was very useful to have it all laid out, spelling out how all the things we've slowly learnt about all fit in with each other

Ha I just came on this thread to post that, Pain! It's VERY GOOD, pretty mind blowing actually...I wonder if any of the newspapers will pick up on it?

It is very good!

The vote is on Tuesday?

There is something so powerful about the #takeaknee protests. The more Trump tweets, the more will join in.

The man is demented on this topic. I actually think that it looks enormously respectful.

Natsku · 24/09/2017 15:56

Me too cosie it's such a calm respectful way to show your protest, and is a good visual, the kind of thing that can spread well so it's good in that way too.

Sleipnirthewonderhorse · 24/09/2017 15:56

Trump 's rally in Alabama on Friday sounds like a corker.

Mind you he's had time to be bonkers in so many ways since I'm having trouble keeping up.

Fekko · 24/09/2017 16:00

I see he is ranting about the NFL players at Wembley.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/09/2017 16:04

I think it looks enormously respectful too. It's a beautiful way to protest.

Fekko · 24/09/2017 16:05

Rather dignified - unlike a senior citizen ranting and tantruming like a petulant 2 year old.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/09/2017 16:08

Fekko - I've had a look, where did you see that please?

Fekko · 24/09/2017 16:09

It was on my phones BBC newsflash

Fekko · 24/09/2017 16:10

In the telegraph but I can't get a link!

cozietoesie · 24/09/2017 16:13

Here you go.

Wembley

Fekko · 24/09/2017 16:16

I don't think it looks disrespectful. Don't they pose like this when listening to the coach? I'd they turned their backs or mooned the flag then I could understand.

cozietoesie · 24/09/2017 16:19

I imagine that it has nothing to do with the action but, rather, what it represents. If they were genuflecting before a picture of 45' he'd be (in a coy way) rather pleased. Wink

badbadhusky · 24/09/2017 16:26

There are lots of military vets supporting this on Twitter on the #TakeAKnee hashtag, saying the right to free speech and fighting racism is v patriotic. I like it - dignified protest. The Mockingjay salute du jour.

Fekko · 24/09/2017 16:27

If good. He won't rant at the vets- will he? Ok so he probably will...
