Pain That email prankster really has been bring a lot of things to light that the world will see, not just Americans, and it's crazy how none of the people they've 'pranked' seem to have even checked the emails are from an accurate source. Surely it's one of the most basic things in security to check?

Not sure I'd trust any of the legal team at this point though.

Cosie I agree, but Trump watches it, and that will have been a heck of a jab to his fragile ego, especially after those nasty comments he made about McCain not being a war hero because he got captured. (Growing up a forces brat, that made me grr) I might not like his views on a lot of things, but credit to the man, he deserves some respect. He gained a lot more from me when he went against party politics to vote no on Trumpcare.

He's cited the one thing that might make the others think as well. (A return to 'regular order'.)

I'd love to see Ali G or (the late) Mrs Merton have a go at a Trump interview. Even Dame Edna/Les Patterson would be a hoot.

To be honest, even Sooty could outwit him (but not out 🍊 him!)

That morning Joe segment is powerful.

Thanks for that link, lion. Fascinating stuff. Not surprising - but still fascinating.

The Democrats are playing an extremely long game here. Grin

I know MN is predominantly white and doesnt really care about black issues, but this NFL thing has taken my hate for Trump to a whole new level. I feel like he has exposed the very worst in American society. The video that someone linked earlier to the Trevor Noah show is something that I think that everybody should watch. So I shall find it and post it again.

One problem with the long game

Joy Reid @JoyAnnReid
Not to be a downer, but if Dems don't turn out in huge numbers in 2018 Rs will get a 60v Senate and pass s'thing worse than Graham Cassidy.
And by huge, I mean in enough numbers to overcome what will likely be epic, historic voter suppression directed at young people and POC.
