What's up with Mitch McConnell's hand and face?

Seen some reports but he's downplaying it.

Bruising from an IV and endoscopy?

'Emily In Paris' - Paris gets the 'Sex In The City' treatment.

We watched the first season - rom-com fun.

Pros:
Beautifully photographed. Lots of eye candy. Some very funny lines.

Cons:
Paris is way too clean: No graffiti, no traffic, no tourists, no trash, no beggars. Emily never, ever, ever takes the métro or the bus. She only steps in dog poop once.
Total stereotyping of the American characters and the French ones.


Amazingly fun fluff.

How are we all voting or have we already done it?

I'd be interested to get a sense of how many of us here on DU have voted or are in the process of doing so or are waiting for 3 November.

Remember, Remember
The 3rd of November
To vote out the Treasonous Trump
I know of no reason
The Donald Trump Treason
Should ever be Forgot!

An idea for the future debates - Penalty over time.

In the debates keep track of the time each candidate speaks out of turn/ talks over their time ...

At the end of the event, find the difference between the candidates and allow the one who had the least speaking time to have free speech for that time.

It appears that the GOP candidates are not capable of abiding by the rules they had agreed to - this is an attitude- rule of law for everyone ELSE- exception for the GOP candidate....this is in evidence throughout their administration.

Announced in the Irish Post - Irish for Biden!

Just sent to me by an Irish friend here in France.


A NEW campaign has been launched in Ireland to support Joe Biden in his bid for the US Presidency.

The former Vice President is facing off against President Donald Trump in the upcoming US election, and the campaign urges Irish people to contact their relatives and friends in America and encourage them to vote for the Irish-American candidate.



Here's a link to the story

War on Christmas this year? Per Melania will it be....

'Merry Fucking Christmas' or 'Fucking Merry Christmas'?

Or will 'Happy Fucking Holidays' be the default?

Moved to France in September of 2018 after buying our apartment in 2017 after the debacle of the election. We're glad to be here, but we continue to be involved with what's happening in the US.
