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.

Eeeek I'm repeating things Pain, I did scour the thread first but missed it!

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 30/03/2018 16:13

I'm only teasing roussette Grin, I'm sure I'm constantly posting things on here that other people have posted!

Does no harm either - it can only highlight what's noteworthy, which is no bad thing!

Roussette · 30/03/2018 16:32

I know Pain Grin

On this... it appears 45 is completely gutless. I was reading a thread yesterday about a woman whose loving boyfriend had only told her how much he loved her and hours later rang her and finished with her. Seems to be Trump's MO too....

Me too but repetition is not necessarily a bad thing. Smile

The Sinclair thing is disconcerting, I think.

Under Armour says data hacked from 150M MyFitnessPal app accounts

The stolen information, which includes account user names, email addresses and scrambled passwords, is one of the biggest hacks in history.

Very interesting piece on the Census, lion. Thanks. Smile

This is odd. Perhaps not just to save time but also in case a quick escape route is needed. Smile

Latest: Congressional investigators are probing the relationship between Manafort, his right hand man in Kiev, and a Russian billionaire. And a private jet's flight from Moscow to Newark, NJ, at the height of the campaign, has caught their attention.

Many thanks to @OrenDorell for confirming this with @StateDept.
Trump's expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats does not require #Russia to reduce its staffing levels in the U.S. and vice versa.

“Sam Nunberg is a cocaine addict,” Stone said. “And any news organization that takes anything he said seriously is courting a serious lawsuit. Coke head,” he concluded taking another puff of the cigar.

'“The fucking cockroaches in this country have to go, period,” Stein said in one recording. “They are the fucking problem in this country right now. They are the threat in this country right now.”

“When we go on operations, there’s no leaving anyone behind, even if it’s a 1-year-old. I’m serious,” Stein said in another. “I guarantee if I go on a mission, those little fuckers are going bye-bye.”'

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump marveled Thursday at all the federal court vacancies he gets to fill and wondered why President Barack Obama left him so many ― apparently unaware that Senate Republicans blocked Obama’s judicial nominees to those seats for years in hopes that a GOP president would fill them.

“You know, when I got in, we had over 100 federal judges that weren’t appointed,” Trump said at an infrastructure event in Ohio. “I don’t know why Obama left that. It was like a big beautiful present to all of us. Why the hell did he leave that? Maybe he got complacent?”

'“They say he’s unconscious at this time,” the 911 operator is told, according to the recordings. “I don’t know about the breathing portion.”'

Yes.

You can get Trump-Putin versions but there is already so much ugliness around.

These are pretty.
