So fast moving. Here we go again....

@AcrossthePond55

Typically the Natl Guard arms with 9 mm handguns. No word on whether or not they'll carry anything different

I would have thought a few rifles at least.

Problem is they are soldiers not policemen. As we know from our own troubled history, sending soldiers in to civilian populations rarely ends well.

The elephant has left the room.

6.5 bathrooms, how does that work?

The only good thing Trump has done is that he hasn't invaded another country. The irony is, he's started a war in his own! Isn't there a saying about how having a common enemy unites a populace? Obviously it was needed in America, as look what happens without one...

A US half bathroom is just a toilet and sink - the others would have bath/shower as well.

6.5 bathrooms, how does that work?

a half bath is what's called a cloakroom in (some parts of) the uk.

Ah thanks, you learn something new every day

Oh; another word for the downstairs lav.

Real luxury, of course, is having a bathroom and a separate lavatory so people can have a pee at the same time as someone else having a long bath. So my idea of a very luxurious house would have six-and-a-half bathrooms -- divided into four actual bathrooms and five lavatories.

Be very, very, afraid! We're nowhere near the end of this nightmare. [where's that I'm seriously pissed off with Trump and all who sail in him emoticon? ]

A full bathroom is a bathroom that contains a sink, a bathtub, a shower and a toilet.

A ¾ bathroom is a bathroom that has either a shower or tub with a sink and toilet.

A half bathroom is a bathroom that does not contain a bath or a shower, just a toilet and sink (aka a 'powder room')

Why we gotta complicate everything over here 😆

A lot of Brits will associate the confederate flag (and "General Lee") with "The Dukes of Hazzard".

Oh, and whistling dixie too. One of the first things I did when getting into machine code in 1980, was to program our Apple ][ to play the General Lee horn ... I had no idea what it meant at that age.

And I think if they dig deep enough they're going to find a lot of 'powerful' members of the GOP lurking in those dark corners fanning the flames.

The GOP wanting Congress to stop the Senate trial and any future investigations of Scrotus' actions has less to do with wanting to 'heal the nation' than it does fear of just when their own names and actions are going to be uncovered.
