What's True Pussycat? - Trump Thread #134

[Spandauer]

Non-fake, stable genius thanks to @Crucible for the new thread title.

Seniors' special today.*
They’re eating the dogs!
They’re eating the cats!
They’re eating the pets!...
So do you want fries with that cat? (*Apologies to non-MAGA seniors)

In other news, the swing states continue to be too close to call and it looks like it's going to be a nail-biting, buttock-clenching, hand-wringing 50 days to the election. (or thereabouts)

(Thanks for all the kinds messages. Tears make it hard to type).

Veep is much closer to the real world at the moment.

All the very best, @SerendipityJane , come back sharper than ever.

I hope I haven't missed an earlier post. Have you SEEN this?

All the very best to you @SerendipityJane

@NotDonna you absolutely must go and watch TWW! I am very jealous that you get to experience it all for the first time! All I will say is that it does take a couple of episodes to find it's feet (I find the first few a bit overly sentimental personally) but get past that and you will be flying through some of the best TV ever made.

To bastardise Jane Austen "It is a truth universally acknowledged that it is scientifically impossible to only watch one episode of TWW at a time!"

I will warn you if you watch it on 4 On Demand that they drop adverts in at random moments rather than using the ad break points in the actual show. It's very annoying and the best way to watch is most definitely via DVD box set, but you may not want to spring for all 7 seasons just yet 😜

Ride the dragon ...

Fingers crossed for you, @SerendipityJane .

Technically I understand Donnas exist outside TWW – even know a few. It's just hard to think of them while on this thread!

Echoing others that you have a fun watch ahead. I wonder what your username will be at the end of it!

Oh yes. Including the statement that if he's elected "You (women) won't even have to think about abortion".

Sure, because it will be totally illegal. Or is the saying that he'll magically be able to prevent unwanted pregnancy with his mighty powers?

His words are becoming more and more delusional. If he was 'that mad uncle' right about now one would be having that 'Do we invite him for Xmas dinner or not, you know how crazy he gets" discussion. Hopefully this will be the year we all decide NOT to invite him.

Just watched first episode of TWW and all about women’s right to choose and illegal immigration. Still relevant 25 years on!

Just wanted to say that if you are watching TWW on the C4 app, it is well worth paying the £1.99 a month to stop the ads. They drove me insane.

I have never watched WW either

😅
Yikes. The Trump campaign is running ads in Georgia featuring a picture from....the country of Georgia.
Top notch operation.

Isn't that like the advertising agency over here that were promoting Birmingham but used an image of Birmingham, Alabama?!

Well remembered, it happened in 2008

God, that long ago?! I AM an old gimmer!

If only someone here had warned how shite AI was.

Oh, I did.

It is shite, but still has more I than anyone in the immediate Trump orbit

Well (nerd alert), it's not really "I" is it ? Mainly because no one knows what intelligence is. Like pornography, we (think) we know it when we see it, but that proves nothing.

Me: "Can it <whatever> ?"
AI-floppy-haired-sales-droid: "Not that sort of AI".

I highly recommend listening to the recent DOAC podcast interview with Yuval Noah Harari, he talks extensively about AI and its uses/challenges. I downloaded his latest book “Nexus” off the back of it so will start listening on my long drive home on Thursday!

Thanks for that @CaveMum
I must see if I can get it on android

Are they suggesting that it’s someone posing as Robinson? That whoever wrote it is likely white and trying too hard to come across as black? Thing is, it’s ten years old isn’t it? So why pretend back then? More recently I’d understand.

Sam Elliott, sigh. Need I say more?

I didn't think he could be made sexier. I was wrong.

Direct link to the video.

Thank you for that. I watched the first video at the beginning of the article and am extremely moved by what Vice-President Harris had to say about women and abortions in Trump states. She put it beautifully, but FGS, it's 2024, this should not have to be being talked about now! Those lunatics who put the clocks back by half a century for women by revoking Roe v Wade deserve a biblical punishment themselves.
I like Sam Elliott's voice and I'm ashamed to say that so inured am I to swearing that I had to go back and watch the video again with subtitles to make out the cussing!

You made my day, @AcrossthePond55 thank you! He certainly is sexy.

I can't get upset by a swear word or two. I swear, most people I know swear; teaching children when it's appropriate and not is the way forward, not pretending it's the worst thing in the world.
