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.

I love the UN building.
My grandparents apartment overlooked it.

Trump is just sore that he was never allowed to build one of his monstrosities on the "Freedom Plaza" site between 38th and 41st

I may actually start a business that sends all the sinners in your life a "Ha ha ha" message on their social media after the Rapture.

$100 a month for up to 100 losers. Or you could select the Presidential option which is perpetual unlimited loser nominations for a one off $100,000

This must be a joke, right?

He is having a go at Sadiq Khan again

More racist lies

Nothing to add really.

I mean I wouldn’t be hauling my ass to work if I was off to heaven shortly 🤷🏼‍♀️
I may not go sell my house but would definitely go out wasting cash on partying if I never would have to worry again.
Maybe my lazy, proliferate self wouldn’t make heaven then though - I’m not sure which version of the Bible will hold true for St Peter? So many decisions to make …

Washington Post reporter Joe Heim confirms this Trump-Epstein “Friendship Month” statue has been placed on the National Mall.

Feel disgusted by his speech and him
in general. He is a disgrace to a humanity

Well done for having the fortitude to listen to it!
I tried but I just couldnt bear the sight & sound of him. I'm not sure I could even bear to read the transcript because I would hear it in his voice.
The only way I can cope with hearing him is via these types of ('baby trump') videos:

@Spandauer Thought that was Morecambe and Wise at first glance 😂

US security service found a network of 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards which could send out 30,000,000 texts a minute – essentially creating a Distributed Denial of Service attack which would bring down the mobile phone network (including 911 calls).

It was sited in New York, so security services made arrests ahead of this UN meeting.

McCool said the "well-organised and well-funded" scheme involved "nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement".

Haha no I didn’t listen to it but read extracts from bbc website live coverage. I can’t stand him and always fast forward when he speaks on any videos 🤢🤢🤢

Way too many posts to catch up on. Have we covered the Cambodian / Armenia war yet.

The worst war since last week’s Azerbaijan / Albania war.

Thanks to all the talk of the Rapture I was prompted to search up a clip of the terrific episode of Six Feet Under which opened with a rapture-related death. Sharing here because it might cheer some of you up after another day of batshit news out of the US.

Is that one of the 7 unendable wars he ended?

I thought it was one of the many unendable wars he started?
Enraptured by Six Feet Under clip, thank you, @boatyardblues.

You've missed out the most British bit, which is that ultimately it was a fudge. The very end was 1688 when it was agreed that Parliament had supreme lawmaking power and the king would be part of it.

A very successful fudge too as it's the same system today, and it means the UK isn't in thrall to dead white men who liked guns, or judges who think they're philosopher-rulers.

In 1780 when there were very big riots in England, there was a general belief on the continent that it proved constitutional monarchies were inherently unstable (as opposed to the stability and order of absolute monarchies like the French one).
Well look where we are today French monarchists...

I was coming on here to ask about this. Just heard him on the news at 10 saying he was right about everything and he has ended 7 wars. What wars?

Life is better with a bit of Horrible Histories

Maybe they should do a grown up version of now

I’d like to say that today was a new, embarrassing low for the US but we all know 🍊 can and will go lower.

If you didn’t laugh you’d cry (click to expand)

Absolutely! Can’t fail to raise a smile watching any of the songs (Kings & Queens of England and the Battle of Britain boy and being my personal favs), and were huge fans of Ghosts in this house.

Bigliest Nobel Peace Prize surely?

From USA Today:
What 7 wars is Trump referring to?
Since Trump took office in January, the United States has been involved in five ceasefires or peace agreements, though not all parties involved credit the U.S. for the agreements.

Those include:
Armenia and Azerbaijan - The two former Soviet republics and Trump signed a peace agreement at the White House on Aug. 8, ending a decades-long war. The leaders of the countries gave Trump ample praise for his efforts at the ceremony.

Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda - Trump announced a treaty between the African nations in a June 20 social media post, crediting Secretary of State Marco Rubio for helping to bring them together.

Iran and Israel - Trump announced on June 23 a ceasefire between the two countries after the U.S. joined Israel in bombing Iranian nuclear sites.

India and Pakistan - Trump announced the neighboring countries, both armed with nuclear weapons, had reached a ceasefire in May with U.S.-led talks after an intensifying military confrontation. However, India did not credit the U.S. with brokering the halt in fighting.

Cambodia and Thailand - Leaders of the two countries agreed to a ceasefire on July 28 after five deadly days of fighting, Reuters reported. Trump urged them to negotiate a ceasefire or else trade deals with the governments would stall.

Trump's seven wars figure also refers to two conflicts mostly based in his first term, the White House previously told USA TODAY.
That includes Ethiopia and Egypt, where there has neither been a war nor a peace agreement between the countries, according to Axios. Trump dealt with a dispute between the two countries in his first term as they were feuding over a huge hydropower dam, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

The other cited by the White House is Serbia and Kosovo. In September 2020, Trump announced Serbia and Kosovo agreed to economic normalization. But Reuters reported the tense relations persist five years later. Serbia considers Kosovo part of its territory, long after Kosovo declared independence in 2008. Kosovo's president in July said Trump prevented further escalation, but the Serbian president denied that escalation was imminent, according to Reuters. No peace deal has been signed.
