On and On and On It Goes - Trump thread #148

[Spandauer]

It's been 9 horrible months and I find myself looking back on those "eating the cats and dogs" days with nostalgia.

With regard to free speech, as John Pavlovitz (and others, I’m sure), quite correctly writes:
"If you only believe in free speech for people you agree with, you don't believe in free speech."
Or, roughly in the words of someone, possibly French, possibly not, writing in the eighteenth century, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

More stuff.

Imagine the staff at Windsor Castle having to fumigate the rooms and corridors that Trump been in. He stinks of BO and full nappies.

Oh give it a rest

I’ve just seen this, on September 16th. Don’t know if the NYT has changed its mind since:

Trump’s body odour is the least of his (and our) worries. At this point the country is essentially rolling out the royal regalia to a wannabe (and possibly gonna be) dictator. Absolutely odious human being that he is.

Meanwhile Jimmy Kimmel is to be replaced by a tribute show to Kirk 🤨

Oh dear, Trump has gone off script, waffling on about how badly the economy was managed by Biden.

I think my in-laws must have had the same one.

So hear me out: when Reagan was nearly assassinated and his bodyguard, Brady, had life-changing injuries due to the bullet he took, Congress passed the Brady Bill, which tightened gun restrictions, and was allowed to lapse.

Perhaps someone should write a Kirk Bill and bring it to the floor. Get MAGAs on record voting down the Kirk Bill.

Gosh, I miss having someone sane and young-ish in the White House. Not waking up every morning wondering what fresh outrage the current President and his minions have perpetrated. Oh, gosh, I’ve just realised why there is so much venom against Obama from Trump and his ilk - they think only WHITE men are allowed to preside over the WHITE House. Basic misunderstanding, anyone could make that mistake.

Why?

I was going to say the same.

Maybe the royals pointed her towards women's aid.

Mumsnet seems to have a new colour scheme in the last hour. Peach and azure blue

Easier to pick out your own and OP posts ...

It changed as I was watching, which was strange. I could already pick out my own and OP posts as I had already selected colours (which I preferred to these) in my settings. Also, the shade of blue MN uses seems to have changed.

I honestly thought that my eyes had gone funny!

I don’t like the new blue, it feels old school!

Yet another change for the sake of change, I expect. Asking why it has been done will get the same reply as asking about the interminable-thread experiment: nothing.

Don has spent 36 hours on his best behaviour, but seems to slowly be slipping back to 'normal' now...

I’ve gone into my settings and changed the colours highlighting mine and OP posts to my own preference.

Unfortunately the colours I prefer, the ones I had chosen before, are no longer an option.

Yeah, it's rather garish. Took me by surprise.

I want my green and purple back!

Just don’t for pity’s sake tell Vance

Thank the Lord they have at least left quoted text on grey. Going by the rest of the stuff we apparently voted for in a survey I didn't see, they might have chosen to make them bright orange.

(Green and purple suited me, too, and Mumsnet Posts Blue seems to be the same or nearly the same as the blue to which you can set your own posts.)

Why?
