This is one of the most apt political cartoon I’ve seen.

Oh, he's come out of his bedroom then. Here he is giving Putin a big grin as he arrives at L'Arc de Triomphe

Just when you think he can't be more insensitive and offensive...

The statement from Trudeau is quite the mic drop.

On reflection, turning up 2 hours late for the dinner is probably worse than bot going at all.

That's Pavlovitz piece just says it all for me. I'm in tears.

Thanks everyone here who has raised my spirits by saying you understand.

Two more years. We're halfway home.

It was very moving, I agree Across

I've got a bit of a crush on Emmanuel Macron....

Macron warns against nationalism in apparent rebuke of Trump at WWI commemoration
“Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism,” the French president said in remarks delivered just steps from Trump and more than 80 world leaders.

And he said more... see here....

You can see why SecDef is (almost) revered by his troops.

Mattis

bot works in that context but I meant not.

Pavlovitz is very good.

American psycho?

Putin literally giving Trump the thumbs up.

The pats on the back, the thumbs up, the way Trump does that self important coat move at the end. It's so bloody obvious.

Awful and so typical.

We are going to need a new thread soon ... maybe it will herald the beginning of the end for Trump.

There’s a chance the #MAGAbomber actions resulted in mail-in votes not being delivered in a timely way in Florida:

Even if the Magabomber didn't actually delay them, it would be a good cover story for a 'late' delivery, wouldn't it?
