The Politics Thread

This is not Trudeau trolling Dumpf, as it’s from 2017...... but it’s says everything that the world - and particularly the US should be saying and thinking. It encapsulates the shame that this disgrace of a President continues to bring to his nation on an almost hourly basis.

 

18 hours on and the BBC still not covering this..... Disgraceful - and clearly they must be acting under some bizarre politically-motivated editorial policy.

 

Going back to potential Democrat candidates, it's worth bringing up how Americans have this weird belief that any career politician is innately untrustworthy as they have been tainted by association within the Washington Beltway, which is why so many state governors get chosen as nominees instead, for example Regan over Bush in 1980, Clinton over the rest of the field in 1992, Dubyuh over McCain in 2000, Obama over Hillary in 2008, and the Orange Overlord over Cruz in 2016

Then again, given the main qualification for our current government has nothing to do with competence or political nous and everything to do with being a sociopath who went to Eton, it's not like we're in a position to be too critical...

Meanwhile, on the subject of the Orange Overlord

 

It's worth pointing out the Orange Overlord's master isn't afraid of a little rain

...indeed, some say the rain is afraid of him

 

And Trump won't miss his Paris meeting with Putin, either.
Can't pay tribute to the war dead but he'll definitely pay tribute to his owner.

 

Love his new moniker...... ‘Donny Dollhands’

On the subject of this waste of space and his administrations pathetic attempt to excuse his absence from the event yesterday (they haven’t even bothered to come up with one for this mornings failing) ....... ‘Logistical difficulties with arranging a motorcade, because the weather prevented flying Marine One’ is bullshit and should be denounced as such.

When arranging any high profile protection detail - and certainly at Presidential level - there will be several contingency plans for transporting His Royal Orangeness away from his hotel by road - to allow for emergency evacuation where an aerial option is not available. That will necessarily involve pre-arranging the content and route of any motorcade and will be coordinated with local Police / Security Services to include any required traffic management and road closures. There would have been a similar plan for a non-emergency event such as the 55 mile road trip to the Cemetary!

He CHOSE not to attend the event/s, the pathetic disrespectful piece of ****!


Edit: and to prove my point.....

 

I'm pretty sure that's a helicopter in the background...

Meanwhile, over here, I see the attack dogs are at it again

 

@davidschneider is a good follow on Twitter.

 

I wonder what the total cost of his air trips is to other countries and golf course so far.Add this to the national debt.
Has any other president flown as much as him? There is a train system in Washington.I've been told it's much cheaper! Buses too!!!!

 

This is brilliant

 

It's been reported that the Orange overlord's visits to Mar A Lago alone have cost the American taxpayer anything between $3.6m (Polifact) to $6.6m (Newsweek) - while the AdBlock disabling bastards at the Washington Post suggest it's closer to $17m when you take into account local policing and the Coast Guard having to devote time and resources to policing the shores

 

The hate mines have been productive...

 

I see the absence of Dacre has done nothing to improve the blind ignorance of The Daily Gammon’s readership

 

It works perfectly with the overwhelming unpopularity of federal government projects--when the two most valuable things in US history, the interstate system and the web, were both federal government projects.

Who the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.

 

Sunday Night Quiz: who is this guy identifying on Twitter??

'She is brave. Honest. Hard working. Fighting for humanity. Her view always supports the philosophical.'

Mother Teresa? Princess Diana? Joan of Arc? Or maybe Michelle Obama? Nope - not even close......




Try our favourite failed former game show contestant! Yes, really - this ****wit is describing Katie Feckin' Hopkins!!!!!

 

That popping sound you hear is the sound of several dozen Trumpists heads exploding in impotent rage...

 

I was thinking that rumours of Hillary Clinton thinking third time was the charm and making another run at the White House was the most ludicrous thing I heard today

Then this happened

 

Made in Russia.

 

I see the US education system is working...
