That reminds me many years ago there was a thread next door about googling your own name and did you show up in the results and if so what page etc (this was back when most people weren’t googlable). Our own Steve Miller just replied. ‘Nope. There’s some guy with a band who gets all the hits.’

Well, his grandfather, also a Fred Trump, was indeed born in Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Trump

My understanding is that the government dropped the defense and then resumed it next day.

If I were a billionaire I think I'd live somewhere more comfortable, regardless of antisemitism.

That did it. It’s tofu, beans and rice from here on for me.

And honorable mention, not even the same song... but Ray Charles' version of America the Beautiful.

Thank you, TG!

We tried lampredotto in Florence. Nothing too special tbh. But there’s a sandwich vendor in the central market who’s got some very special sandwiches. No tripe in them.

What a dick.

@Axtremus Who?

Video of the appearances of President Clinton and Sec. Clinton. If you have 9 hours to kill, you can watch them both. https://oversight.house.gov/release/oversight-committee-releases-bill-and-hillary-clinton-deposition-videos/ Former President Bill Clinton told lawmakers that President Donald Trump told him he had "some great ​times" with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein before their relationship soured, according to a video released on Monday. In a videotaped deposition ‌to the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, the former Democratic president said under oath that Trump brought up Epstein at a golf tournament in 2002 or 2003, after Clinton left office and more than a decade before Trump was elected president. "Somehow he knew I had flown in Jeffrey Epstein's aircraft," Clinton told the committee. "He said, 'You ​know, we had some great times together over the years, but we fell out all because of a real estate deal.'"

I wonder what is the point of not seating the secret service next to him. Unless she's been guarding him for several years and he didn't remember her.

Love me. PLEASE love me. (And that describes Kenny, too!)

Still down a little bit, but the rebound gave back about 60% of this morning's dip. I suspect OPEC deciding to increase production helped.
