I just read that article too Rousette and I love that his girlfriend Kimberly thinks the way to deal with an angry student crowd is to point out that they are 'not making their parents proud by being rude and disruptive'
🤭🤣😂
the writing's on the wall the pitchforks are at the ready and she thinks she can wag her finger at them and tell them to be good children!

@RhinoskinhaveI
Ghastly girlfriend also made friends with the crowd there by telling them they have to go online to get a date as they couldn't get one in person, and they probably have to catfish anyway.
Way to go Kim... how to win friends and influence people!

W.T.F? I've been trying to find the 'context' for this remark but so far am UTL any transcript of his Vets Day speech.

I am in US too, and found something online that shows he was quoting a soldier during wartime.... I hope it is true!!

I didn't realise the book was actually called 'Triggered'.

I thought all the covers I'd seen were parodies. Grin

Mattis showed how Veteran's Day should be commemorated. People remember.

Nikki nails it. They're enablers.

And instead of saying that to me, they should've been saying that to the president, not asking me to join them on their sidebar plan.

I just checked my online TV listings and the only channel (so far) listing the hearings tomorrow is CNN, starting at 5am PST.

Impeachment memo (GOP).

'Republicans who sat in on closed-door impeachment hearings have reportedly drafted a memo with key talking points to defend Donald Trump as the proceedings are set to go public this week.

The memo was penned by GOP staff on the three House committees spearheading an impeachment inquiry into the president over accusations he would not release crucial military aid to Ukraine without investigations into one of his political rivals, Joe Biden.'

'In the run-up to the 2016 election, White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller promoted white nationalist literature, pushed racist immigration stories and obsessed over the loss of Confederate symbols after Dylann Roof’s murderous rampage, according to leaked emails reviewed by Hatewatch.

The emails, which Miller sent to the conservative website Breitbart News in 2015 and 2016, showcase the extremist, anti-immigrant ideology that undergirds the policies he has helped create as an architect of Donald Trump’s presidency. These policies include reportedly setting arrest quotas for undocumented immigrants, an executive order effectively banning immigration from five Muslim-majority countries and a policy of family separation at refugee resettlement facilities that the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General said is causing “intense trauma” in children.'

Rather a lot of them.

I am still about - I just have other concerns that have been taking me away. We are having terrible bushfires where I live right now and its hard for me to take anything else seriously IYSWIM. That will likely change once the public hearings start!
