Desperately seeking that Peace Prize.
May have to settle for the Hero of the Russian Federation award. Bigly sad.

Governor Pritzker of Illinois tells Trump to stay away and more. Good man.

Maybe just me so I apologise if so but I’m not clear what the Owl and the Pussycat has to do with the thread?

Try the owl for Putin and the pussy cat for Trump, or vice versa, and the pig, and the turkey.

Robert Maxwell died 34 years ago so they'd have to be very long fingers.

A lot of people were far from pleased when he 'fell overboard''. I think some of them wanted revenge any way they could.

Interested in this thread?

Reaching now. Stop being an apologist for a sex trafficking, paedophile.

It reads to me as though you are insinuating the Epstein files are fake.

Wow.

I’m back!

He’s attempting to fire Lisa Cook now I see.

Funny how he’s gone for the African American woman, isn’t it…..

Trump orders removal of Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook

Cook says the US president "has no authority to do so" in defiance of Trump's escalatory move against the central bank.

Wow.

Agreed. She carries as much responsibility as Epstein and the rest excuses being made for her totally undermine the many young women whose abuse she actively facilitated.

To the best of my understanding, she acted as a procuress for Epstein.

It'll be interesting to see if Virginia Giuffre's memoir contradicts Ghislaine's statements. I'm not surprised that she had something written and ready to be published should anything happen to her and I imagine a fair number of people are more than a bit nervous right now.

Exactly. She was a procurer of young vulnerable girls to be abused. For her to deny there is any sort of list is laughable, I've read a lot about all of this over the years, including court papers, and yes there will be lists but she will say anything, literally anything, to get herself out of prison.

I can't link it but honestly, it is so good. All to the tune of YMCA!

OMG. A parody of Trump's iconic post-assassination-attempt moment is going viral, in which Gavin Newsom is holding up a bottle of ketchup, a California flag is waving high, and the secret service is laughing their asses off with him.

But the real reason for the whole thing is that it was too much effort not to have a war.

The Rest Is History lads have just started going over WW1 having decisively shown that the whole bust up was over the Kaisers wrong choice of footwear at the Cowes Regatta

That is a degree of stretch that would make a postmodernist raise his or her eyebrows a fair amount.

This whole thread is about stretches. Like WW2 ending in a negotiated settlement.

RafaistheKingofClay · 26/08/2025 14:31

I thought we’d decided it was about ostriches not stretches.

Did someone forget to give grandad his meds this weekend. My whole Twitter feed is full of more rambling nonsense than usual. Between the stolen car radios and the Chinese magnets and god knows what else he seems much less coherent than normal.

Come on posters! I know it feels like we're all Alice in Wonderland right now, but we're so far off track, I'm lying in a ditch.

For now, it seems to throw the bots off. They've been trained on single topic discussions where it's easy to pretend you are engaging.

Remember how the hero was always able to cripple the megalomaniac computer by asking it to calculate pi to a gazillion decimal places ?

Thanks for that @SerendipityJane!

I'm now ready to discuss the appropriateness of using The Owl and The Pussycat as a metaphor for Trump world.

Please note that I have a degree in Literature & Philosophy, can pharse like a Victorian Latin teacher, AND argue the hind legs off a donkey.😎
