The Politics Thread

Easter or summer?

 

I think the betting has to be impeachment or asassination!...

 

Andrew Johnson was impeached but acquitted by one vote. He got into a furious struggle with Congress over whether all citizens were to have equal rights. (Congress, to its credit, said yes. He said no.)
NIxon was impeached for a variety of crimes he committed in conjunction with CREEP, the Committee to Re-elect the President. He resigned when it became apparent the impeachment would succeed.
Clinton was impeached for lying about an affair, but acquitted.

So, no, no president has been impeached for being totally incompetent. We can hope that will change.

Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy were assassinated, and two others were shot, but recovered: Teddy Roosevelt and Reagan. Interestingly, every president elected in a year ending in a 0 died in office for 120 years.

 

I asked Paddy Power re thd above and they wouldn't take thd bet. Ladbrokes were only offering 10 to 11 on 18th Jan that he doesn't make the full term. It's probably about 1 to 11 now.

 

Can't say I'm surprised!...

 

The problem with asassination is that political asassins tend to be looney right wing racist nutter bastards....Trump's strongest supporters..... so asassination is unlikely on the home front. To get assinated he needs to upset Putin (Unlikely) , Kim Jong Fat-Boy or the Chinese....... far more likely. What Trump needs to do is set up an American military base on Tiawan and station a nucleur sub and a couple of carriers off the coast of North Korea. That should solve the problem.

 

...and now Trump's made reference to a refugee terror attack in Sweden that never happened.

 

Two things immediately came to mind to me :

1. WTF was he on the Remain referendum campaign proper ??
Harsh financial penalty clauses if he cancelled "lecture tour" engagements months
in advance ??
Still bitter that Comrade Corbyn is in charge ??

2. Seeing his ponce wife in the audience, is there a case of taking the govt to court
claiming that any official EU exit declaration violates our "human rights" ?? <kerching>

 

For anyone wondering, I think that Melfest refers to the Swedish qualifiers for the Eurovision Song Contest.
Maybe that's the terrorist attack that Trump's talking about? He might have point.

 

See that's why I was reluctant to congratulate Millwall

 

Rather that report on Trump's latest outbursts, shouldn't all news reports just post this link every single time?

I wonder if there are some little Martians "up there" wondering if Trump has any complaints about them? There's nothing left for him to complain about "down here"!

 

He will build a ceiling to keep the green aliens out, and ask them to pay for it.

 

They built an effigy of Trump in Hong Kong with two heads. Wasn't the last person with two heads the President of the Universe, Zaphod Beeblebrox? Perhaps Trump intends to go a bit further?

 

I thought the picture of Trump beside the entry for "narcissistic sociopath" was particularly helpful.

 

This belongs here

 

Just another Trump "That can't be real, can it?" moment.

 

Methinks that's a wind-up to trap people who don't pause to think for approximately half a second before retweeting.

No wonder it caught the eye of Louise Munchkin...

 

When does Putin get his Trump hairpiece?

 

Has anyone told InfoWars that using the tag "SJW" for their stories only serves to expose them for the ****-stirrers they pretend they aren't?
