But if you tell them a park bench has just been painted, they'll touch it to check.

This is the truth.Grin

Just had a stab at the new ! improved !! citizenship questions in the NYT.
Quite chuffed I got "Mary Baker Eddy" for Name one leader of the women’s rights movement in the 1800s. - which is correct, but the least popular answer.

Sometimes you have an answer that is "right" but not the answer that scores a point.

Looking back at the revised questions, for example ...

"People in the district" is right. But gets nil points.
"Citizens in the district" is the "correct" answer.

Seeing as the UK citizenship test is a pile of putrid dog shit, I can't really comment on the US one, apart from it seems to have changed from 1996 when I started helping DB bone up on it.

Hello, I'm a long time lurker on these threads. I haven't posted before, but I really enjoy reading them.

However, I saw this video on YouTube, and just had to share it!

For any fans of 'Hamilton', it's a Trump themed parody of 'I'll be back' by Jonathan Groff. It's perfect.

In case the link doesn't work.....go to YouTube and type in Hamilton parody. You won't regret it!

Seems Sidney "Kraken" Powell is alleging that the Dominion machines unlawfully flipped votes from Biden to Trump.

Or so her motion claims.

That's absolutely hilarious 😂😂

I think they should let her have that one...

Biden speaking so much sense right now. Wonderful to hear

It is just another one of her cataclysmic number of typos and filing mistakes (the rest of the sentence mentions increasing Biden's votesl Other howlers include including draft orders (ie not released) from the judge as if they were final decisions, insisting that her star witnesses must have their identities redacted (a no no) including withheld from opposing counsel (no no no). Then she redacts witness name in part of document and prints it in another! I'm following several twitter threads where lawyers review her filings and translate them fo4 non lawyers. The consensus seems to be "absolute shit show" and she should be disbarred

Kellyanne Conway acknowledges Biden as apparent winner

TheNorthWestPawsage · 04/12/2020 21:20

Kellyanne can do one.

I'm trying to make sense of what's going on in the US - could Biden still lose due to GOP?

Washington(CNN) President-elect Joe Biden's margin over President Donald Trump in the nationwide popular vote is now more than 7 million votes and may continue to grow as several states continue counting votes.

Biden's lead over Trump is the second largest since 2000, and is about two and a half times larger than Hillary Clinton's popular vote lead over Trump in 2016.

As of Friday morning, Biden had won about 81.2 million votes, the most votes a candidate has won in US history, and Trump had won about 74.2 million. Trump's vote count makes him the second-highest vote earner in American history.
