"Exclusive: Trump campaign had at least 18 undisclosed contacts with Russians: sources" - http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-contacts-idUSKCN18E106

It's going to be funny if President Pence comes along so early enough that it allows the Republicans to fully bypass the Trump problem.

Also because Alien Covenant sucked and All Hope Lies in Shane Black here is a picture from The Predator.

There is no way it can worse then Alien Covenant. Tony Scott's made better movies in the last few years.

The nice thing about Predator is it can be cool regardless of casting. They hold up to questionable casting and story choices far more then the Alien series.

Yeah, I just liked how played the scenario as straight and the maps felt in lock with the story. It wasn't like one small hut for a city. The raids into the SU felt like it was the Soviet Union. Hell even the expansion pack with the Berlin attack was fantastic with the demo charges bringing down the wall.

Rachel from Barnsley told BBC Radio Manchester she was in Block 213 of Manchester Arena.

She was with her 14-year-old daughter. To avoid the usual delays exiting the arena at the end of a show they decided to make their way out just before the end.

"As we were going out we heard an almighty bang. At first I thought we'd missed something in the concert.

"As we turned around the corner there was an horrific stampede of people coming down the steps, people falling on floor.

"I grabbed my daughter and we just ran.
