Q: What happens if Republicans aren’t able to pass tax reform?
GRAHAM: “The party fractures, most incumbents in 2018 will get a severe primary challenge... The base will fracture, the financial contributions will stop.”

Sorry to hear you can't travel, Natsku. Will keep fingers crossed for a fair outcome.

Sorry to hear you can’t fly over nat. I can’t make to down to London on those dates but will be sending lots of positive vibes and love

Trump Voter Fraud Commission Is Sued — By One of Its Own Commissioners

Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap alleges the group’s leadership is violating transparency laws and has excluded him from deliberations.

Natsku, I'm so sorry. I've just read the Grauniad Long Read and shared the FB post. If my daughter were in London, I would have asked her to go along to the hearing on my behalf. I'll be rooting for him from the sand-pit.

BREAKING: Alabama Senator Richard Shelby weighs in on Moore allegations:

"If that's true, I don't believe there'd be any place for him in the United States Senate"

Oh dear Natsku what a nightmare and being pregnant an' all. I've read the article and I hope the outcome is good.

This was exactly my thoughts

The consensus Republican wording on Moore - “must step aside if this is true” - is interesting given that nobody will be able to prove if this is true.

Just spoke with Alabama board of elections: Roy Moore will be on the ballot no matter what, even if he drops out & is replaced.

Last week, before the Manafort and Papadoupolos indictments, @MiekeEoyang & @BenFreemanDC & I collected some scary poll numbers about public confidence in Bob Mueller. This week, after the charges, we ran the survey again. The difference is astonishing.

Natsku will be thinking of you and your brother.

McCain says Moore should step down right away, no "if true" caveat

Someone has got hold of - by whatever means - a copy of the tape.

That’s what this all smells like, anyway.

Thanks all.

I've noticed the right wingers on the US forum I visit keep saying that Mueller is really going after Clinton et al. and that the whole Russiagate thing will backfire on the Democrats - I guess they have to believe something!

I only wish that I could be there to give moral support, Natsku. I hope he’s dealt with fairly. He’s a brave lad.

Hope so too. Judging by the facebook post there will be a lot of people there to give him moral support anyway and most of my family too.

Good.
