Thanks merrymouse Amazing grace.

AcrossthePond55 · 16/02/2017 21:09

Thanks to those of you expressing kind thoughts to me and by extension, Americans in general. It really is a rough time for those of us with even a minimum of social conscience.

With your permission, if I'm able to visit the UK/Europe during the next four years and am asked "Are you an American?" by anyone, I intend to hand them a business card that say "This American has been APPROVED my MN via 'Extreme Vetting'".

Is that OK with y'all?

More on topic;

I've caught up with posts and watched some of the video. It's simply 'America through the Looking Glass' with Trump starring as the Red Queen (angry), White Queen (babyish) and White Knight (foolish and dysfunctional) all rolled into one!

Bigly Scary.

^Russia tells state media to stop fawning over Donald Trump
The Kremlin has ordered Russian state media to scale back its coverage of US President Donald Trump, Nadia Beard reports.
According to a Russian political commentator , the editorial team at the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) has received orders from management that "could be reduced to a short sentence: there will be no more of Trump^".

cozietoesie · 16/02/2017 21:12

Thank you for that, merry. Very much.

Across As an American in the UK, I get asked a LOT about Trump and whether I support him.

thedcbrokemybank · 16/02/2017 21:15

I have read everyone of these threads and am slight totally addicted. Thank you for the transcript. I literally can't watch Trump. He makes my skin crawl.
I have just been reading the comments section on Breitbart. That is some scary shit. Apparently the media has been taken over by Jews and it is all a conspiracy. They really are a total bunch of loons! Racist loons at that.

Lweji · 16/02/2017 21:15

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

It's Schroedinger's news.
Or Stepford news?

Thing is..... watching some of that eulogy hat Obama did so brilliantly and sensitively... what the hell is going to happen when there is another gun massacre (sorry but there will be one) and the POTUS has to speak in a measured and proper way. I saw a while back on Youtube a vid showing each time Obama spoke after the awful killing sprees during his 8 years. Each time his words came from the heart. At times he was emotional and even tearful. He said the right words in the right way.

DT will be talking of the bad dudes, how bigly he won, it will be all about him. When the US really needs someone to say the right words, perhaps it will make even his diehard fandom think twice.

amispartacus · 16/02/2017 21:20

Be nice about me.
I tell the truth.
Someone told you something awful about me - they shouldn't have told you.
Listen to me, listen to that person. Not them. They lie.
Don't ask me hard questions.
I know you, you lie.

Can you imagine living with him? Challenging him?

The one thing that always gives me pause for thought, Roussette, is that we are not the only ones watching this 'Camelot on acid' play out. Somewhere...........

GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 21:25

I find this article interesting.

www.yahoo.com/news/tiffany-trump-accepts-whoopi-goldberg-131358618.html

Everyone moved so they wouldn't have to sit next to 23yo Tiffany Trump at NYFW.

Mean IMO. I am not a Trump supporter, but I have no issues with Tiffany Trump. I've not seen her being involved in shady business stuff like Ivanka and her brothers. And my understanding is that Tiffany has been largely ignored by her dad most of her life - he just started trotting her out lately because it would look odd if she wasn't with the other "kids."

I've also noted that on this thread, everyone's played fair and avoided discussing both the youngest boy (Baron, is it??) and Tiffany, which I'm glad about.

Lweji · 16/02/2017 21:26

The fake news media accusations are clearly working well... For Trump's opponents.

His approval ratings are at a new low

FYI as Donald Trump was doing whatever the hell that was, @SpeakerRyan staffers blocked @HispanicCaucus members from a meeting with ICE.

How could they 'block them', Ginger?

GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 21:35

Kitten I'm just glad we've stayed above that bar on here. I think all in all everyone's been cool.

Interestingly, I read an article today (no link, sorry - but if I see it again I will) that Melania is very unhappy as she did NOT have any thoughts about him running for president and is not thrilled to be FLOTUS.
