Impeaching a President is huge, peace. Just huge.

GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 20:45

I have to ask though... Can't just ONE of his staff tell him that BIGLY is NOT. A. WORD.!!!!

peaceout · 16/02/2017 20:45

I thought he was snide and snipey with the BBC like some bad tempered bitter old man

amispartacus · 16/02/2017 20:45

So...why was Flynn sacked?

The leak was real. But if the media are reporting fake news, was the news fake or real?

Merrymouse I should think so, but apology accepted.

cozietoesie · 16/02/2017 20:47

Ginger

Would you be the one to tell him about 'bigly'? In the current climate?

I always thought he was saying 'big league'

I don't think anyone knows anymore. We appear to have all slipped through hole in the space time continuum and ended up in the middle of a long and complex performance art piece I can't pretend to be intellectual enough to understand.

The guardian headline 'Trump give extraordinary press conference'

That would be some of that famous British understatement there.

Natsku · 16/02/2017 20:52

I just really can't believe we are witnessing this. Its the stuff of fiction!

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 16/02/2017 20:53

The guardian headline 'Trump give extraordinary press conference'

Trump is going to take that as a compliment

Fact

Apologies if this has been shared before:

horrifying

BiglyBadgers · 16/02/2017 20:57

The BBC article on it is interesting, just because it is clearly very carefully crafted to remain as neutral as possible, or at least to try and avoid upsetting people.

I wonder what this new EO travel ban will be that is coming out next week. And any news yet on the EO today?

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 16/02/2017 20:59

Argh, sorry, should've checked if it was credible. Think it might be an old clip.

Didn't mean to spread misinformation Blush

SenecaFalls · 16/02/2017 20:59

Can't just ONE of his staff tell him that BIGLY is NOT.

He's saying "big league" (an old baseball term often shortened to "the bigs"), but in his particular version of a New York accent, it sounds like "bigly" because he often drops the final sound of words.

"Bigly" is a lot funnier though.

Senate Dems plan all-night protest over Trump's EPA pick

Surely the republicans will just go into another room and vote him in anyway. That's what they have done with the other ones the Dems tried to block.

GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 21:03

Seneca then he needs to ENUNCIATE. What a dork. (showing my age with that comment, I know) Grin

GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 21:05

I'm just sitting back, waiting for the fact checkers to start proving his lies. The lines about "I've not called anyone in Russia or seen anyone from Russia in years" ought to be interesting.

SenecaFalls · 16/02/2017 21:06

I remember watching that live merrymouse. A very stunning and moving moment.

Timetogetup0630 · 16/02/2017 21:06

Its written as Bigly in the Washington Post script of the News Conference...
