After this's all over, I hope the U.S. gov't bills Trump for the damage he's done to our reputation

I was watching CNN a little while ago, and they were talking about the students protesting for gun control. Rick Santorum proclaimed that instead of demanding another "phony gun law", they should learn CPR.

I consider myself pretty cynical with respect to politics and politicians, but honestly, I was shocked. Sure, everyone should learn CPR, but his response was the equivalent of "I don't care about putting a stop to lunatics butchering schoolchildren. Just learn to put bandaids on each other's sucking chest wounds and shut up and take it, kids."

These kids are going to reach 18 and start voting over the coming years, and I think this will be the policy issue that matters to them most. We may well see a sea change in gun laws in the coming years.

"President Donald Trump will not be adding two new lawyers to the legal team defending him in the special counsel's Russia investigation, one of the president's attorneys said Sunday.

Trump attorney Jay Sekulow said in a statement that Washington lawyers Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing have conflicts that won't allow them to represent the president regarding special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation."

What's on today's episode of an Australian and a Canuk discuss America And China?

Throughout my childhood I moved around a lot and lived in several different States in the US and I also lived (not visited)
two different countries in Asia. So my contributions are based at least somewhat on facts and personal experience and
on conversations that I've had with people who have lived and studied China as part of their careers.

Oh yeah sorry I wasn't trying to be snarky. I know duck all about China so I'm genuinely interested in the perspective, just thought it was funny to point out the global iteration of the conversation -- which would have been mostly impossible, say, 50 years ago.

People are sayin' Trump wants to rename the "White House Easter Egg Roll" because it sounds too Chinese.

[jrfox92]

That sounds exactly like something Trump would say.

Trump: "April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention month."
Everyone: "Isn't that a bit hypocritical? Didn't you brag about grabbing women by the pussies, sexualize and grade women's' attractiveness, and aren't you under investigation for sexual assault?"
Trump:

When you get a spray tan, they do spray your face, so yea, it would have tan on it.

'The FBI raided the office of Michael Cohen, a personal lawyer and confidant of President Donald Trump, Cohen's attorney confirmed to CNN Monday.

One source familiar with the matter told CNN that included in the documents authorities seized was information related to Stephanie Clifford, better known as porn actress Stormy Daniels, who alleges she had an affair with Trump in 2006 that the White House has denied...A person briefed on the search told the Times that the FBI also seized emails, tax documents and business records, including communications between Trump and Cohen."
