Reuters: Squabbles erupt as G7 leaders open summit in French resort
The picture on the article leader shows, of course, EvilCommieLeftists throwing things at police.
BUT, the squabbles being reported are taking place among the leaders.
Happy

But you have no need to worry, Bob. This is all taking place in another country, not yours.
What could go wrong?

The preceding is now revealed as fake news. Here's the truth, Reuters revealing the word from an actual participant.

BIARRITZ, France - U.S. President Donald Trump said he was getting along well with his Western allies at a G7 summit in France, dismissing reports of rifts among leaders as they prepared to discuss global trade woes.

There you have it. The word of an American President over a mere reporter. How could I have been so naïve?

And, I can edit! I use the desktop option on my phone. Hadn't tried it before because it's awkward. Not likely to become a habit, though.

You've gone from long periods of absence (which presumably could have been the result of moral introspection or adherence to your own religious practice) to one of the most prolific posters in SE. You're also not averse to stoking or stirring a pot full of poison. It's quite noticeable and puzzling.
