Few hints surfacing about the rally this week. Trump looked startled when protestor had photo of him with Jeffrey Epstein. Had protestor removed.

Is the P tape not "pee" but p for paedophile? Few commentators seem to be making this statement, and pizzagate was classic accuse opposition of what you're guilty of.

Jeez, I hope it's not this sordid but I have an awful feeling about it.

blimey Across.

Epstein.

MissM, the 'Pee Tape' is pee for 'golden showers' .

I think the Epstein thing is just that no one wants to be identified with a paedophile or to give someone 'ammo' to start rumours especially if you belong to the 'party of family values' . Hence not wanting a pic with him being circulated.

It seems Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a Red Hen restaurant by the owner who didn't like her views.

I don't agree with discrimination - and this was wrong. However, the administration has no problem with people being discriminated against because of their views and with people discriminating against others because of their views. I bet Sarah never thought that would apply to her and that people would discriminate against her.

First they came for the Muslims......Eventually they came for the White House Staff.

Oh yeah, Kala, it's all over the news here (US). The Yelp page for that restaurant is undergoing a 'purge'.

Thing is, it cuts both ways. The Supreme Court held that a baker didn't have to make a cake for a gay couple so why shouldn't this restaurant owner be able to 86 someone whose beliefs he disagrees with? Both are examples of a businessperson standing up for their own ethics.

Needless to say, the Repugs are up in arms. They can dish it out but they sure can't take it.

'Trump mocks John McCain's thumbs down'' on the Obamacare repeal, tells Nevada Republican convention that it doesn't matter. We gutted it anyway.'''

I've read about the restaurant and SHS being turned away. TBH I don't think it does the Resistance any favours, I'm a bit uncomfortable about the actual management of the Restaurant turning her away, much better to let the patrons deride her if necessary which was what happened to Neilsen in a mexican restaurant..... what was it Michelle O said... 'they go low, we go high'

Unmitigated disaster - mothers who haven’t spoken to their kids, others who’ve been told their kids will be up for adoption.

Incredible scenes in Istanbul today as the Turkish opposition rally against Erdogan and his endeavours to move the country towards dictatorship. Well over a million in attendance with some claiming up to 5million could be present.

Rousette I mused earlier if one of the side-reasons for this horrible family separation policy was to provide adoptable children. I had no idea DeVos' family owned an adoption agency.

Wasn't it the Nazi who took children from their parents and placed them with 'acceptable' families?

I'm hoping I'm in 'tin foil hat' territory here.

Yes, I saw the DeVos connection.
