When a nation’s children marched, and their President ignored them - Trump cont.

[TheClaws]

For me, the Parkland children being belittled and abused in so many ways is utterly heartbreaking to witness. But they have been more adult than the adults in their response. They have shown us what faith means, and bravery. POTUS? He is made much, much smaller.

Something to do with yellow cabs.

All I know is if it's NY ones it's STATE crimes. No pardon for those and hello, Mr Schneiderman.....

Interesting (and dangerous) times ahead, I think.

Psst. We are on p39. I feel we could be on the cusp of big events. Perhaps its time for a new thread?

'Special counsel Robert Mueller's team is examining a series of previously unreported meetings that took place in 2017 in the Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, as part of its broader investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, according to two sources briefed on the investigation.

The sources said several of those meetings took place around the same time as another meeting in the Seychelles between Erik Prince, founder of the security company Blackwater, Kirill Dmitriev, the director of one of Russia's sovereign wealth funds, and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the effective ruler of the United Arab Emirates (also known as "MBZ"). Details of that earlier meeting were first reported by the Washington Post last year.'

'Republicans warn Trump against axing Mueller
But it still looks unlikely that Congress will pass a law to prevent the president from firing the special counsel.'

It is boatyard. Do you want to do it?

As Yoda might say - "Strong today is the schadenfreude!"

No one watching Zuckerberg testify?

He is trying so hard not to sound like kermit the frog

Hear it is: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3218731-We-stand-at-a-tipping-point-do-we-fire-up-the-popcorn-maker-or-start-digging-a-fallout-shelter-in-the-garden-Trump-cont

It looks like Fox News is the only channel I have access to that is showing Zuckerberg's questioning.

Since this thread is done and will eventually vanish into the ether, I would just like to say that Senator Whitehouse is rather appealing and leave it at that.

I saw you there, lionheart.

Umm... did this thread die? Is there a new one?

Ah... oops... I just saw the link. See you there.
