Not two brain cells to rub together between the lot of them...

According to my director, in a speech, Trumpism and Brexit creates opportunities for us, to cooperate internationally where previously the US and UK dominated.

Meanwhile, France reportedly attracts a series of US scientist on climate research.

Glad that someone can see a silver lining.

What do you do Lweji? Sell nuclear fall out bunkers?

Your Director is a person of .....limited intellect?

I believe lweji is in a lovely European country that can therefore take advantage of the dismantling of the U.K./us assets

Your Director is a person of .....limited intellect?
He's not the most highly regarded person, no.

What do you do Lweji? Sell nuclear fall out bunkers?

You'd think...

Oh dear. Just catching up with the news.

Perking, those advertisments are so awful. The post-Emancipation era was horrific in terms up an upsurge in violence and lynchings. Since freed slaves were no longer 'property' there was no slave-owner to demand compensation for losses or damage done.

Yes and no.

If the shit really hits the fan, we're highly vulnerable. At least economically.

Despite them being everywhere, clearly I underestimate the amount of idiots around

Ah. The 'Devil's Bargain'.

Fekko the piece is called "Entrance of the Gladiators" but in the US is most associated with circuses. It's played whenever a circus themed 'bit' is shown.

Another suggestion would be this (which I'm sure all in the UK will recognize);

Quite appropriate for a sex pest with a very high opinion of himself.

President Trump ignores question from @Acosta on what the president meant when he tweeted that Sen. Gillibrand would do anything for a campaign contribution.

Jim Acosta
@Acosta
Prior to this morment, @presssec issued a warning to me. She said if I asked a question of Trump at the bill signing "I can't promise you will be allowed into a pool spray again." Sorry Sarah.. we won't be intimidated.

Hallie Jackson
@HallieJackson
.@Acosta was at the bill signing as part of the rotating pool that reps all 5 tv networks. And to be clear: this is not how the pool works. @POTUS doesn’t have to answer questions - but we can sure ask them.

Oh, I get it AcrossthePond55. He'd probably think that the Benny Hill theme was a compliment though.

Oh I see what I did - initially I managed to YouTube into a rather lovely piece of Tchaikovsky!

This is funny.

Trump family tried to vote absentee in the NYC mayoral election:

MELANIA: Didn't follow directions to sign envelope so her vote didn't count

IVANKA: Sent it on election day, too late

JARED: Never sent ballot

DONALD: Got his own b-day wrong by a month

Deb Fischer, the Nebraska GOP senator, tells me this when I asked if she believes the Trump accusers are credible: "I think women need to be listened to when they step forward and that's been my position all along."

Also, there are now 6 dems calling for trump’s resignation

And now loads more!

Anyone know when the Alabama results will be confirmed? (Head cannot work out time difference because it still hasn't recovered from the US election)

Polls close 8pm ET, so that's 1am our time. Exit polls may be available before then, but I haven't found any yet, could try CBS.

Thanks ragged.
