Everybody looks so sad. It really is a wake.

Timetogetup0630 · 20/01/2017 22:52

It's "My Country ''tis of Thee", Squishy.
Same tune.

"King Donald" lol.

Timetogetup0630 · 20/01/2017 22:54

He's totally thick.
He got where he did by bribery and bullying and using inherited money.
He hasn't the first idea what the President actually does.

He will just lie, make outrageous claims about his achievements, and hopefully stand down after 4 years due to Health issues.

The Democrats jolly well better get themselves organised for 2020.

Has anyone seen the Deadzone we are living it 😫

OhYouBadBadKitten · 20/01/2017 23:09

we certainly are.

atheistmantis · 20/01/2017 23:31

It's a shame spitting image isn't still going, mind you they wouldn't have to try hard to make a puppet as they could just film him.

Who wants to bet it was the same speech writer for that famous Melania speech? the Donald, it seems

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 20/01/2017 23:42

Do you think one of his kids is writing his speeches, one of the less bright ones?

Newsnight was interesting tonight.

The segment on whether the racial divide in America had shifted due to Obama's presidency was desperately sad though. Nothing really changed Sad and the poverty and hopelessness of black inner cities was starkly brought into focus. I know Trump referenced it in his speech and I guess I can see why someone promising an escape from that would appeal (Trump received far more of the black vote than expected) but at what cost?

It did give me hope though as i realised there are children who think there is nothing special in a black man being president, that's their normal. I hope that one day, we will feel the same way about a female president.

Gah - hope that makes sense. Have hit the Wine a bit tonight!

Well this has made me laugh with tears:

George bush and his poncho

😂😂. He was also a dick head president.

Lweji · 21/01/2017 01:06

Look at Obama though. He's like, let it rain, bitches.

Comment in that link. Oh, yeah!

Bush at least could laugh at himself.

HateSummer · 21/01/2017 01:13

The one that made me laugh was:

Some of us are sad today, but others had a great time playing peekaboo with a plastic sheet.

😂😂

Thanks Timetogetup0630, I didn't know that! I thought either I was going mad or the band was. I once had a ridiculously long argument with a friend abut whether a piece of music was "I vow to thee my country" or Jupiter from the planets suite, so I never learn.

hate, that's hilarious! The peekaboo one is particularly funny because despite everything he still has some sort of a defenceless, cheeky infant look about him.

BigBadgers · 21/01/2017 07:18

A new morning, a new day! A beautiful day!! I can't wait to spend it in my bunker, it's a great bunker made by some really bright guys. The amagedon we are going to have is going to be the bestest, biggest most beautiful nuclear apocalypse ever!!! You are all GREATEST!!!

HateSummer · 21/01/2017 07:22

BigBadgers · 21/01/2017 07:31

My god, is that real. Can you imagine losing your legs in a war and getting a painting of yourself from the bastard that sent you there. Oh, well that's made it all OK then.

I can't think how anyone would think that is a nice thing to do and not dismissive and minimising. Urgh!

HateSummer · 21/01/2017 07:38

I had to google this. It's true 😂😂

Irony is truely dead in these end times.

Overrated Seth Myers stole my ealier joke about the Sun being a celebrity at the Inauguration.

(at about min. 4:00)

Mine is better, though Wink: the biggest star in the solar system. Vs everybody loves the sun it's a big star.

Overrated, yes, you. SAD.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 21/01/2017 08:37

It's alright everyone, we can party like there's no tomorrow this weekend. Pence says day one starts on Monday.

Armageddon is postponed. Woo Hoo!!!

atheistmantis · 21/01/2017 08:40

It's the best star ever, a tremendous star, a really beautiful star that will shine down on a country that will soon be great again.

Lweji · 21/01/2017 08:40

I'm planning on it. Will be stocking up. Off to the Prep Boards.

MsHooliesCardigan · 21/01/2017 08:42

Badgers I have the best bunker, it is truly beautiful and the biggest bunker ever ever seen and, by the way, I've seen a lot of bunkers in my life. Your bunker is a FAKE!!!

Roussette · 21/01/2017 08:46

On Dubya ... there is a theory out there, and I have no idea if it is true, ... that he is in the early stages of dementia. There is footage of him at a Memorial tribute for dead policeman and he is with Obamas and getting too over enthusiastic when the music comes on. It's quite painful to look at his wife dealing with it on one side, and Michelle on the other, and having known alzheimers in someone close up it just reminds me of that situation. Again with the poncho, and his expression through all of this and his wife always at his side helping.

Anyway back to Trump. The TV just have a health warning, I turned it on this morning to see the fat orange baby wheeling Melania round the dance floor, not pleasant. Then a speech yet again going on about the losers. I wonder when he'll drop that bit now he actually is POTUS. Beautiful dress Melania had on, but my god she is wooden, there's no spontaneity between them at all but the Obamas are going to be a hard act to follow in that respect.
