Thanks, Perking. Always good to read a cautionary note. Smile

Obviously that's just speculation on my part. The NRA's big pro-Trump spend might not have been Russian money at all. But it's one possible scenario.

cozietoesie · 14/10/2018 11:41

Noted. Smile

Flubbed was not the first 'f' word that came to mind when I first found out about this, lion .

lionheart · 14/10/2018 15:11

No, but the other F word has been much in evidence ever since the election campaign. Sad

lionheart · 14/10/2018 15:14

'Fuck' and its variants works well though.

Thanks for the new thread, Across. ThanksThanks

I'm sorry I'm not posting something more positive as a place marking. I'm 'impressed' that Bill Shine is having such a dangerous effect on WH communications.

Americans are becoming more likely to think President Trump will win a second term in office, while Joe Biden leads a crowded field of Democrats looking to replace him, according to a new CNN poll cnn.it/2yBTx5G

lionheart · 14/10/2018 19:42

I would like to see the numbers without Biden and Sanders.

Thank you for making me do that, lionheart. They seem to be being very measured about it all.
