Good for Warren.

Since it looks like we have some heavy reading to do, here's a little 'light' entertainment.....with a heavy message.

I love that Across. Smile

Me, too lion. My DH actually sent me the link, it was on his FB feed.

Lately DH and I (retired) have been having some really interesting and revealing conversations regard behaviour when we were singletons (early '70s when we started our 'dating lives' - mid '80s when we met and married) vs the way things are now. DH was really surprised at the amount of shit we put up with back then and that our usual response was to back away, look embarrassed, and mutter politely vs the way young women today tell pervy buggers in no uncertain terms to fuck off. And the amount of blame we received for 'encouraging' the behaviour by the way we dressed, walked, talked, and fucking breathed.

Times have changed. Not enough, not nearly enough, but they have changed. But the recent Kavanaugh debacle shows that we still have a long, long way to go.

'Donald Trump says 'rogue killers' may have murdered Khashoggi.'

lionheart · 15/10/2018 20:24

Not yet enough, that's for sure. Sad

But the fight is still on.

Rogue killers, my arse. Trump with egg on his face yet again.

Just in from @clarissaward and @TimListerCNN: "According to two sources, the Saudis are preparing a report that will acknowledge Jamal Khashoggi's death was the result of an interrogation that went wrong, one that was intended to lead to his abduction from Turkey..."

They smuggled a bone saw in and dismembered him....

lionheart · 15/10/2018 20:29

Saudi govt. say that Khashoggi was killed during an (unauthorised) interrogation that went wrong.

lionheart · 15/10/2018 20:43

And a cleaning crew entered the Embassy ahead of the investigators.

cozietoesie · 15/10/2018 21:02

Great, Across. Thank DH for me.

It then went on to SNL which was a hoot.

cozietoesie · 15/10/2018 23:18

That's part of the reason that 45 has such a fixation about the markets. The guys who spend $$$$ don't like falsehoods. (And he knows it.)

AcrossthePond55 · 16/10/2018 01:09

That, that, that PAINTING? That's a joke right? NO? Bloody hell!

Tell ya, if I was Bushy or Bush Sr I'd be telling the artist to take my fucking face OFF that picture! And if I was the NOK of the others, I'd be doing the same!

I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Warren and I hope she's President soon.

My American friends - women who also love Eliz Warren and voted for her way before I'd ever heard of her - they hate Trump more. And they say they think the Democratic nominee has to be a man, to maximise the chances of getting Trump out.

Minimammoth · 16/10/2018 07:05

Does Trump always believe everything that any leader, dictator, king despot tells him? Surely he is not that naive. ( this re the Khashoggi news)

lionheart · 16/10/2018 07:44

No joke. Grin

lionheart · 16/10/2018 07:55

An alternative rendition.

Couldn't think of a pithy quote so have this instead.  Trump #85

Apparently it's not the original artwork.

Artist surprised his fantasy painting of Trump is hanging in the White House
The canvas created a stir on social media after it was spotted during a "60 Minutes" interview with the president.

And another one... he deserves this one for dropping 100lbs overnight in the one hung in the WH!
