'Not knowing when the Dawn will come, I open every Door,' Trump No. 95

[lionheart]

From Emily Dickinson.

Old thread.

Thanks, lion.

Hope is the thing with feathers.

OK, no feathery emoticon. Flowery will have to do instead.

I was trying to enlist Emily there to help with the focus on higher things but I can't not post this because there is a kind of poetry to it:

"I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart."

Sorry (kind of)

Thank you for this new thread, lion.

Lovely ED quotes too.

Toad is the mushroom from Mario. His girlfriend is Toadette. New nickname?

Thank you ohmymimi. I'll focus on that rather than on lionheart's latest quote.

[to be crystal clear, ^ that is NOT envy]

We still need the puke emoticon, don't we?

I made a stonking mushroom risotto at the weekend. So glad I did, I doubt mushrooms are going to seem quite so appetising in the future.

My goodness, twitter people are quick with the memes, jokes, alternative slogans and nick-names....

Evening all. Don't think this has been posted yet:

The cyclist who flipped off Trump’s motorcade is running for public office

Juli Briskman, the cyclist who flashed her middle finger at President Trump’s motorcade — and lost her job at a government contracting firm as a result — is parlaying an act of resistance into a run for local office in Northern Virginia.

The 51-year-old marketing executive said this week she will file the paperwork to challenge Suzanne M. Volpe, a Republican who represents the Algonkian District on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in 2019.

I've got a 'lovely' pic of Trump and his mushroom if anyone's interested. I don't want to subject anyone to it without prior warning

Thanks for the thread lion

I have my eyes closed and am staying out of the thread until it moves on.

[feels way to door]

Oh God. What did I just read.

Otherwise, thanks for the new fred.

Interesting initiative from NYT.

You’re all made of sterner stuff than me. Mucho love & respect for the persisters.

This does link back to Tom Arnold... so pinch of salt required.

Ronan Farrow has the long-rumored Donald Trump tapes from The Apprentice: report

Oh and thanks for new thread lion
There wasn't mushroom left on the old one. (I'll get my coat)

Thanks for the new thread Lion.

The tapes reportedly document Trump using the N-word and calling his son Eric Trump an R-Word.

Is R = retard? I can’t think of other words that might fit?

'The woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her decades ago has not yet confirmed her appearance at a public hearing the GOP is planning next week as of midday Tuesday, according to top Republican senators.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that his staff has reached out to Christine Blasey Ford’s camp several times since the California-based professor came forward with her story of a high-school-era assault by President Donald Trump’s high court pick. Although Ford’s lawyer said that her client would be open to “a fair proceeding,” it remains unclear whether she would agree to a planned hearing on Sept. 24 that Republicans have set up to help save Kavanaugh’s nomination.'
