Want to placemark on the new thread so I can go to bed, got a banging headache - too much Twitler I think.

This thread has been the lotus in the shit swamp of the GOP, and those benighted egits Smile '

New thread to be chosen from the following candidates: far right, alt right, bigly right and full nuclear right.

I hate him. Hate hate hate hate him.
He can fucking do one.
I'm scared. And just hoping the CIA have a close eye on him. Surely they must do?
I'm currently on a job with someone who voted trump. He is so happy right now. He is looking forward to the wall, says all the news is fake and HATES planned parenthood.
He must have been brainwashed. That's the only answer. I think he's probably the only person in this city who voted for him.

roussette I thought " my friends the Roma" meant he was supporting the rights of gypsies, which seemed a little at odds with his general ethos!!

Weeds... Looks like Roma Downey is an Irish film producer that he's had twitter spats with but who has the voice of an angel that he gets off on Grin

I presume she was at his speech...

Roma Downey was the star of a (really terrible) TV show called Touched By An Angel (I think!) about an angel living on Earth.

Well it's the best title yet amispartacus

Before I adjourn to the new thread, I'd like to give a YUGE Thank You to those MNers who have offered a 'handhold' to me (and others in the US). A real handhold, not a tiny-handed one. The biggest handhold, just tremendous. And your posts, the posts of Angels, I tell you. No one does posts as good, as great, as MN. Really folks, I'm telling you. Just the greatest posts. Believe me, and I know posts. Don't I know posts, folks? Because I write the greatest posts myself. Just fantastic. Words, I have the best words......

Seriously, thanks. I hope you all know that the words of support we are seeing, here and elsewhere, make us feel just a little bit less alone.

How to survive the next 4 years?

SoEverybodyDance · 02/02/2017 22:18

Evening everyone... It's good to discover you all discussing things here, I don't have to sit worrying at home alone any more...

I've been reading the Rogue POTUS Staff twitter account which is interesting and frightening. And The Guardian. I'm trying not to cherry pick the things from all over the place that frighten me... The media has got to get its house in order and the only remotely positive thing about Trump is that I hope we will get a serious, involved, reliable media back.

That thing about talking up crazy ultra right wing policies and then doing something slightly less bat shit crazy to get it through without opposition was a trick that David Blunkett (for overseas posters - a home office minister in a recent Labour government about ten years ago) did with great aplomb. I hate that.

There is so much going on that it's truly exhausting. I'm going to have to prioritise to divide and conquer.

So in addition to talking, is there any plan for action on here? Is anyone doing anything? Does anyone intend on going to anti Trump visit Britain march in London on the 20th? I think I am.

Also if anyone is facilitating these threads, can I ask if it is possible to provide a link forward to the next thread on the last page and a link back to the previous thread on the first page of each thread, so we can navigate more easily?

Thanks

Dance

OhYouBadBadKitten · 02/02/2017 22:26

Dance, I'm going to try and get to the one on the 20th.

How long before Spicer is a/fired b/ resigns? Though he seems too spineless to resign.

It was an alternative massacre. :)
