Hard to keep up with events in the USA right now, it's so f***ing huge.

 

The Repubs passed a massive hundreds of pages tax Bill in the middle of the night with clauses written in child's crayon (I may be wrong on that point) which nobody had time to read, and which essentially taxes all of their supporters to finance the rich tax cuts, while also bunging in hidden regulation like killing healthcare, opening up pristine protected Artic wilderness to oil companies, and oh yes, Trump companies getting shitloads of cash in donations immediately afterwards.

 

His followers not that happy, at least the ones not too dumb to realise what he's done.

 

Meanwhile, Trump tweeted about Flynn, and immediately his lawyer tried to say that he, an experienced legal man, used the twitter account of the President of the USA to write in flawless Trumpese accidentally in which he admitted to Obstruction Of Justice, a criminal offence. One or both of them is going to be having chats with the FBI who take a rather serious view about being lied to, OK it might be down the line but the tweet exists and can't be withdrawn (by law anything on a Presidential account remains the property of the people of the USA).

 

Trump is either mentally unfit or the dumbest motherclucking dumbass of historically huge dumbass mothercluckers, you know, it's getting fairly obvious even to his supporters.....

 

Still, gotta laugh, eh?

but... her emails!!!1!1!1!1

 

I’ve honestly become so numb to these. I’m just counting until Earth experiences another mass extinction by nuclear war.

I'm hoping it's a very small asteroid landing on his golf course in Florida while he's playing in a direct hit on his head. What a fantastic Hole-In-One that would be! The only extinction event would be for LOSERS! Sad!

Bill Clinton's impeachment began with a trial of tarnishing a wman's reputation after she said something about inappropriate behaviour was it?

 

Now Trump, well his lawyers, has a trial on the SAME by a former Apprentice contestant. Let's see if this latest scandal sets up an inpeachment movement, well, another one.

He won't be impeached. Republicans and their supporters would look ridiculous if they go against him now seeing as we ALREADY KNEW ALL OF THIS when he was a candidate. If he ever goes it will be a resignation because of his ego. He'll spin it as the nasty Democrats taking down a legitimate President. And you know what the funny thing is? His supporters will believe him and the United States will go into the next election and elect another fucking sociopath. The Democrats are up shit creek without a paddle and I have very little faith that they will pull something out of the bag for 2020.

None of this would be happening if the Democrats could have come up with a better candidate than Hilary!

Ah so it is Hilary Clinton's fault after all. Serves them right for trying to get a woman elected, the most-qualified candidate for President ever - but she made the fatal mistake of pissing off Putin bigtime, who then threw all of Russia's propaganda weight behind a moron traitor.

 

So yes, entirely the Democrats fault then. I think they won the popular vote even then......(and you do seem quite keen on people who got 52% of the popular vote having 100% control on policies...) ?

 

On the previous point this was replying to: There are mid-term elections and the whole structure of politics could change. Trump is only safe because he's backed up by Republicans who are equally implicated in dirt and money from corporations backing Trump. If the slim lead goes then so does his ability to avoid the pressure that's building up. Given Clinton errr actually won more votes, it wouldnt take a brilliant mathematician to work out that the most unpopular President in history (for the his first 12 months) is on shaky ground, not to mention the FBI will be coming after him just for the email he posted this week alone.

apparently #TrumpImpeachmentParty is trending on twitter burn y’All Pence is even worse

 

gotta go make another trending tag

IMO her biggest gaffe was the 'Deplorables' comment - hard to imagine a better way of uniting your opponents against you, than insulting them!

 

As for the 'Russian influence', I can't imagine the sort of middle-America voters who backed Trump, going for that.

She said basket of deplorables. Was stupid enough to use a private email server.

 

That's pretty much it as far as mistakes go.

 

That's nothing compared to what Trumpo has done. It's just that a large proportion of people are dumb and would rather see an idiot reality TV racist traitor elected rather than a woman or a black man, both of whom are amongst the best Presidential candidates in living memory. Trump is far and away the least-qualified and least-sane in history. Reagan had alzheimers and he beat him on both counts....

In todays developments, the FBI have found Deutsche Bank co-operating with the demand to see Trump's financial details. That might prove illuminating, not least the several hundred million he borrowed from them (and not paid back).

 

But to divert attention he's recognising Jerusalem as the Israeli capital (to inflame the Arab world, still hoping it's his "Get Out Of Jail Free" card if he can find a scapegoat to focus on) and also come out in favour of work-place discrimination as the freedom of employers to pick who they want.

 

What a lovely fellow he is.

The BBC's supposedly balanced report in their news bulletins had a Trump apologist saying that Trump understood the Middle East. No other opinions were aired. They could have spoken to any number of people who have spent a lifetime trying to understand the Middle East, but who were still baffled at times. They might have been slightly doubtful that Trump could suddenly have become such an expert.

Yes, I have become very annoyed with the BBC dumbing-down of reporters who invite extremists on TV to air their corrosive views and lies and just smile as if it's an item about soap powder preferences, unchallenged. I'm sat there screaming at the TV, "Just state fact xxx or ask him about yyyy you dumb f***er".

 

And then I have to go and wipe my mum's arse in the realisation that what I am doing is far more worthwhile than what he or she is doing.

Reminds me of the equal marriage 'argument', when BBC constsntly paraded incensed ministers on tv and ... that was it,not counter views ... and then more or less ignored the vote when it went through. Guss they were lookin for a USA style divide there for some reason.

 

The results of the Alabama Senate election are imminent. I hold very little hope that Alabama is going to deliver a defeat for Republicans even with a candidate as repulsive as Roy Moore but the polls have been surprisingly close so there's a glimmer of hope.

Same here

...and the glimmer of hope came through. Roy Moore get fucked. Miracles do happen *.* Democrats' chances of winning the Senate next year just got a lot better.

JESUS MAN ALIIIVE NO WAY!!$

My pet hate is when politicians are interviewed, and the interviewer lets them get away with lies and/or prevarication.

 

Perhaps MP's should be interviewed while connected to a polygraph & and electric shock generator - every time they lie, they get a shock double the time before...

 

Of course, this might result in a *lot* of by-elections. :lol:

 

me last year: *questioning why humans are the apex species*

 

13 months later...
