    - I'm taking their word only because the subject of the meeting raised never came out. But looking at the emails I guess it doesn't really indicate - pmb Jul 11, 09:51
  - I'm sure they had info to share, but that wasn't the point of the meeting. -- nm - znufrii Jul 11, 09:43

        i don't think politics was the same then. media wasn't. he's got to be aware of some of it. -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 09:25
        
        There are millions of kids I feel sorry for, before him. -- nm - Spawn Jul 11, 09:22

- Sadly, not on Broadway. I full expected to see Oliver in costume on stage. This is grossly disappointing. -- nm - Mop Jul 11, 08:57
Why is Hollywood Reporter running AP stories about Trump now? -- nm - Mop Jul 11, 08:55 9
