Thanks a lot @heartgirl99
ha ha !! Oh no!! I have been down the Randy Rainbow rabbit hole watching clip after clip! I had to stop and bookmark his link for later pick me ups ( viewings ) . He had me chuckling just the same as another You Tube person ( Bo Burnham ) my DD told me about him. He can be a bit vulgar in some songs but his parodies on Country Music artist's songs had me in stitches.

I am confused as to why Trumps lawyers " leaked " the 40 or so questions to the papers that were sent to them by Mueller? These questions sound quite detailed and Trump is always screaming about finding the leakers and jailing them.
To Be continued I guess??

The closest thing to this card is CIBC's card which can be bought to carry one of five international currencies.

So.....Trump has now pardoned a guy who Preet Bharara previously prosecuted for campaign violations, then he imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and Europe for Aluminum and Steel but still found time to meet with Kim K.
( not to diminish in any way what Kim is trying to do for Alice Marie Johnson, who has been imprisoned for 20 yrs on a low level first offense drug charge )

I loved what Senator Ben Sasse tweeted about the tariff decision......

and here is the Canuck Counter punch to those tariffs Trump!!!

Canada imposing retaliatory tariffs on up to $16.6 billion of U.S. products
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland says Canada will levy tariff "countermeasures" of its own on up to $16.6 billion worth of imports of steel, aluminum and other products from the U.S.

Well @walkonby , the tariffs will cost us at the stores and also cost jobs on both sides of the border. Guess grocery shopping in the US will be not so attractive anymore.

This is very astonishing-a Toronto couple who own several properties that rented out basement apartments to Chinese international students are making the tenants move out. To say the students are stressed is the least of it-the newspaper reporter lists some safety issues in the residences that were illegal rooming houses under municipal code.

Have to wonder if the suitcases being tossed into the dumpster were the deceased student's belongings. Surely her friends would have wanted to have her family retrieve or receive them?
