Must have missed that time when Coleen Rooney graduated from two Ivy League universities.

Yeah but she's got an MUA qualification ... 

[Strontium]

I don't know what MUA is and I'm scared to ask.

Make up artist. Its what all the scouse girls on Facebook and instagram put next to their name when they've done a half day course in mascara application.

I think Coleen was a ' Mary help of Christians ' girl , or 'Mary help themselves 'as we De La Salle lads called them.

Pretty sure Michelle never chucked her engagement ring away and a squirrel made off with it.

Coleen Rooney would be a surprise choice.

Has Michelle Obama done anything in politics?

 

Genuinely have no idea, I just assumed she was the wife of a politician.

She hasn't and does not want to.

Can't really blame here either.

Biden should take Amy Klobutchar, to continue with the Slovenian theme in or around the White House.

Michael Moore saying that Trump will do everything he can to stop the election going ahead in November. Also says he doesn’t think that Biden will be the candidate that Trump goes up against.

 

[TheHowieLama]

Going to be difficult to shoehorn in someone else at this point (Bloomberg shitting his pants did not help) - Moore is the biggest Bernie Bro out there but that ship has sailed. A successful candidate would need every faction of the party to lockstep too (see Republicans) to have a good chance.

I do agree at a minimum there will be shenanigans on election data and mail in voting specifically which will be in play as this virusy thing hangs around.

And, nothing would be Trumpier than to lose (to any candidate) and then say it was rigged and try to fight the outcome.

Hasan Minhaj came up with  (what sounded like) a neat summary of the American economy on Patriot Act. 

 

He said "Everything we want is fucking amazing - iPhones, Amazon, Grubhub; everything we need is dogshit - schools, airports, trains."

 

Sounds like a more general critique of capitalism, to me.

"Uh' Tim, this is Mitch."

 

"Who?"

Tim Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, has been tasked by Mitch McConnell to lead a Republican police reform effort.

He takes a fair wedge from the oil industry and voted to withdraw from the Paris climate accords, but he’s voted against a bill including money for Trump’s wall and against the appointment of a judge involved in black voter suppression.

And here...we...go...

Bernie Bros:

 

The number of Biden’s online donors has more than tripled since February, and more than half of last month’s donors were first-time contributors. The average donation to the campaign was $30.

Republican who won Colorado primary - beating a 5 time incumbent:

 

Her claim to fame locally is that waiters/waitresses in her restaurant openly carry loaded guns in her theme. It’s named Shooter’s Grill and is located in a town called Rifle.

 

She has said she hopes QAnon is real

 

She’s expressed support for abolishing the Department of Education

Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

So, is Kanye trying to split the black vote and damage Biden? What’s the word on the ground, Howie?
