US politics - cooked

I have multiple colleagues who have explicitly forbidden their daughters from going to uni in any Republican state. Good for them.

It won’t compare to the basting he will get if any of this espionage stuff has traction.

Any who are stopping their sons?

Edit: I guess I’m wondering if it’s an abortion law thing?

Really just curious. I wonder if I’d have concerns over educational integrity in states where they appear to be banning all sorts of books.

Meanwhile, an enjoyable dose of irony in Utah for those who like banning books

Haven’t been keeping up to date, but is Trunp getting charged for all the top secret files he had?

Reports are that the special counsel in charge of the investigation is getting ready to finalise it.

The jockeying is well and truly commencing. It will be very interesting to see how it all plays out if the Donald is forced out of the race.
