Good to see not all were nuts. Wink

Fox news poll shows 72% thinks Trump is doing a poor job.

Ahem I may have voted twice in that poll.

Well, that sounds great! Trump is building up business after all and making America great again. Hmm

"How can he get away with this shit?"
Exactly, Roussette. That very question has driven me to GinGinGin

On the question of UKIP in Copeland, I thought I heard someone on Toady this morning say that their percentage of the vote had increased by 2 to 25%?

BiglyBadgers · 24/02/2017 11:16

I have taken this off the BBC site showing UKIP votes dropped compared to 2015

That is just for Copeland. I can't find similar for Stoke, which is annoying

OP posts:
BiglyBadgers · 24/02/2017 11:25

I have found this article in the independent saying UKIP increased their percentage in Stoke by 2%. This is still pretty crushing for them and I can't see what they actually means in numbers of votes gained. I am also not clear how the voter turnout compares to the 2015 election. It certainly isn't anything to boast about considering there was serious talk of them winning Grin

Great to see the Lib Dems starting to claw some support back. I'm a lifelong supporter and there were in such a position of strength before the Coalition.

As always - some of their policies are Confused but I would love to see more Lib Dems in parliament again.

Interesting account of Trump rally by a pastor who called it 'demonic'. Scary stuff!

I found the article and accompanying footage really quite chilling. So much divide, so much them and us.

Didn't scrotus say he will unite merica again? I can't see howHmm

Roussette · 24/02/2017 12:22

Exactly Dee. Hearing that slug Bannon talking on that chat show he was pushing a divide, talking about liberal tears, standing up against them etc, calling the MSM enemies. How is this message for uniting right?

BiglyBadgers · 24/02/2017 12:23

I think what he meant was that whoever remains after he has got rid of anyone who disagrees with him will be united. Hmm

I'm minded to find my DVD set of 'Washington Behind Closed Doors'. (Downstairs somewhere.) I used to laugh - after a fashion - at Robert Vaughn's great portrayal of Flank Flaherty. I doubt I would laugh at all these days.

A tweet from the Trump. I think he might be trying to order Twitter about now Confused

Devastating effect on the US or himself?
Hmm Grin

I see that now instead of picking up the phone to the FBI head, or set up a meeting, he tweets.

merrymouse · 24/02/2017 12:53

Weird isn't it.

Lweji · 24/02/2017 12:56

Against him. That's how.

cozietoesie · 24/02/2017 12:56

He has to appeal straight to 'the heartland'. He's lost the intelligence services.

Deejoda · 24/02/2017 13:00

Bigly that is probably what he meant.
Lweji I pray so! As quickly as possible, all sane people need to unite against scrotus, particularly those in America who can vote in 2018

@realDonaldTrump Totally! Did you hear about this DNC leak over the summer!? You should look into that!

Mike DenisonVerified account‏*@mikd33* 2m
@realDonaldTrump the parallels between you & Nixon are quite similar, however, your scandal is insanely worse

Alex ZalbenVerified account‏*@azalben* 18m
@realDonaldTrump you need to head over to the FBI right now and demand to see all the leaks. Watch the leaks. See them leak.

Erich McElroyVerified account‏*@erichmcelroy* 19m
@realDonaldTrump Don't you mean FIND NEMO?

Mark CollierVerified account‏*@sparkycollier* 10m
@realDonaldTrump an odd coincidence that the only thing leaked of late can be devastating to you personally. As your employer, I'm concerned

Ehsan FadakarVerified account‏*@ehsanfadakar* 22m
@realDonaldTrump ask Putin for help?

Who needs political comedians?

BiglyBadgers · 24/02/2017 13:14

I does read as if he meant to write an angry email to a member of his team and accidentally tweeted instead. Very odd.

New York Times launches "Truth" ad campaign.

SanFranBear · 24/02/2017 13:27

What a great commercial - and making it clear on which side the NY Times stand. I bet Scotus will have something to say about that?

"The truth is alternative facts are lies" - perfect!
