Where will the charges against Manafort lead? Whose shredders are overheating today? And most importantly, when will the Tweetstorm-from-the-loo start?

I always vote, just as he did. Even if it's to elect the local dog catcher

Do you actually elect dog catchers?

I can't link but if you get a chance, look up NBC news article Al Sharpton: I've Known Trump for 30 Years. He's Still a Selfish Blowhard.

Natsku. No, but it's an expression used here in the States to signify an unimportant election or office.

It's also used to show how unpopular or incompetent someone is; "He couldn't get elected as dog catcher".

cozie You're right, he'd consider himself 'above' such menial things as court ordered gag orders. But oh, wouldn't we love to hear/see him violate it and get cited for contempt of court. He probably figures he has all of our contempt, he may as well have the court's too. Grin

Damn, I was quite excited about the idea of electing dog catchers!

mrsreynolds · 08/11/2017 17:41

My cousin was the parish Ferreter...not elected though 😁

Blush I took it at face value across and assumed you did elect dog catchers. Must work harder on my critical thinking skills.

Sen. Chris Coons wants Sessions to provide info on the ‘forced resignation’ of U.S. Attorney Dana Boente, says he’s troubled by the timing being so close to the Mueller indictments.

[it won't let me upload the photos of the letter but you can find them here: twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/928315014968160256 It's about bloody time but I suppose the wheels of justice turn slowly]
