Fox snippet from Trump campaign legal adviser: "We're waiting for the United States Supreme Court - of which the President has nominated three justices - to step in and do something. And hopefully Amy Coney Barrett will come through."

and wonder if they have being feeding the kids in the last two days

Now that did make me laugh out loud! I flippin' hope my DCs are feeding themselves, being adults ranging in age from late twenties to forties... must go on my group whatsapp and check!

OK... opportunist. That'll do nicely

I’ll go with outright con-artists and utterly corrupt. The entire Trump family.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 05/11/2020 22:45

plonking on thread. I've not had time today to keep up.

If anyone needs a laugh, part 2 of “Rich Hall’s (US) Breakdown” is now on BBC Sounds - a comedic look at the election.

I think that really, I'm just trying to be polite 😂

lionheart · 05/11/2020 22:47

I don't know blueangel, my children have been checking the news, asking questions, texting support and cooking all kinds of goodies.

Anyone just watched the AG of Pennsylvania on CNN?

The republican's are really trying to undermine imo. They are digging up tweets from before she was AG to try to suggest she is in some way biased and should not be in charge of the voting process of the state.

It's going to be messy.

"Grifter means swindler not opportunist. There is a difference."

Tell that to the IRS and Deutsche Bank!

Now you're talking. That was the plan all along.

Poor old Jimmy Carter had to give up his peanut farm lol. He's my favourite. A deeply decent man

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 05/11/2020 22:48

@derxa that famous 'i really don't care, do u?' coat should have been a criminal offence, it's nefarious in terms of both morality and fashion.

I saw that. She was a private individual at the time, it was her private SM, and she wasn't doing the job she is doing now.
Underhand.

Sorry mean Secretary of State, d'oh!

I’ve never forgiven Melania for the hideous red Christmas trees ;) but then, as she so famously said “who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff”

Roussette · 05/11/2020 22:51

i agree derxa and at 90 something years old, he still helps build houses for a project called Houses for Humanity.

A true gentleman

@StirlingFloss

Apparently Trump's team tried to get him to go and do some presidential work earlier, eg meeting people impacted by Coronavirus, so they'd have something to film, and show he was getting on with the serious business of running the country. He said no and has stayed in his room watching Fox, ordering his kids about, and tweeting. Like a toddler!
Grin I was watching CNN (dinner break!!) and they said that the Trump campaign were hoping that Biden wouldn’t speak because then ‘Trump would want to as well’. Literally like a toddler - ‘but he’s on the trampoline, I wanna go on the trampoline!’
RedToothBrush · 05/11/2020 22:52

Trump to speak at 6.30pm EST (11.30pm UK).

Underhand.

It is underhand, there can't be a legal challenge on that basis but it is trying to sow the seed of doubt with the electorate.

Really shocked tbh by that. No wonder she didn't take any further questions.

TokyoSushi · 05/11/2020 22:53

That's me up for another 40 minutes then!

tobee · 05/11/2020 22:53

Ooh I'm sure he's gonna concede.

Lol!

Those trees gave me the heebie jeebies. Scary AF

Lol!

No he's just trying to prove he's not dead!
Roussette · 05/11/2020 22:57

He will be absolutely incensed that Biden has been out twice and sounded like a President, so he has to prove he is still President and Stephen Miller will've written a speech for him of which he will do the first sentence then go off piste in a very rambly way
