Ceausescu - no Twitter, spoke mainly Romanian, doddle.

I was very unhappy with that answer re the petition too bigly, it's a I heard you but I don't give a shit type of answer. Best now is that when the orange buffoon arrives everyone goes to see him and turns their back on him, with a big one fingered salute stuck on their back Grin

titsmcgee22 · 14/02/2017 10:11

A mexican wave of profanity if you will Grin

It is exactly that titsmcgee. I had forgotten about the debate on Monday. Surely the MPs debating are going to be a bit put out that this has gone out before they had the debate. It basically says we don't give a shit what you or the commons think because we know better.

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 14/02/2017 10:21

That YouTube clip is astonishing. Brainwashing at its best. Flynn actually says very little and what he does say is juvenile and idiotic (referring to Twitter etc) I despair, how the hell has it come to thick playground bullies running the US?

PausingFlatly · 14/02/2017 10:22

ami that clip on salami tactics was formative for me back in 1986.

Yes, Prime Minister's a key part of the political education of the nation! Grin

what's going on with Trump's twitter? The most recent posts are clearly not in his usual style...

Agree, it looks like someone sensible has taken over from him
is that good or bad?
We've lost the window into his ranting mind

all of yesterday's seem much more subdued. Either someone has taken over his account for a bit or he is trying really hard to be more like his new bestest friend Justin Grin

PausingFlatly · 14/02/2017 10:30

Confucious ask:
If man resign from White House but President doesn't Tweet about it, did it really happen?

They've finally wrestled his phone off him, changed the WiFi password or installed a mobile blocker.
Or drugged him. I imagine a dart with T. rex strength tranquilliser.

BiglyBadgers · 14/02/2017 10:40

I like to imagine an ongoing game of cat and mouse where his assistants constantly steal his phone and hide it or accidentally drop in down the toilet, only for him to magically appear with a new one the next morning. Grin

Bit late to the party and this may have been posted before, but this sums up the pro-life movement in my opinion.

Looking forward to Miller on the Late Show tonight.
Or could he be a liar? Hmm

ZebraOwl · 14/02/2017 10:48

BiglyBadgers

Maybe it's how the RoguePOTUSstaff twitter account manage to keep posting - they half inch the orange one's phone & use that: The Perfect Crime...

SanFran

Brilliant! So fucking true of the hypocrites

Seth Myers:

"For Pence a lie is a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yet."

BiglyBadgers · 14/02/2017 10:56

Lars von Trier sums up the current state of humanity as only he can while describing his new film: “The House That Jack Built celebrates the idea that life is evil and soulless, which is sadly proven by the recent rise of the Homo trumpus – the rat king.”

Or Meyers.

BiglyBadgers · 14/02/2017 10:59

I was just thinking about the discussion on comedy that has come up a few times on these threads. I was musing that an important element of creating comedy from appealing situations is that comedy is also a survival strategy for us. Think of gallows humour. Sometimes you need to have the comedy in order to be able to process and deal with the crap that is happening around you. You have to laugh or you'll cry.

BiglyBadgers · 14/02/2017 11:00

Appalling situations....Clearly they are not appealing Hmm

"I feel like a man and I want an abortion. I'll sign for myself thank you."
Indeed, or women could require men to sign an abortion consent contract before they agree to sex, or an agreement to pay a certain sum for the support of any child that may be conceived.
It just won't wash anymore, the idea that women have to bear all the burden of bringing forth children and men can have control over women's bodies

Lweji · 14/02/2017 11:09

Also Meyers:

The only way that statement sounded worse (Miller on not questioning the President's authority) is if he said it in German.

Also: Miller is only in his 30s and looks already half way to Burns.

Grin

So many truths spoken in jest.
