To be fair, in that AP transcript they could have written unintelligible instead of every answer.

Eerrmm...I think i just posted that on two threads and now I am getting confused about where i am and what i am doing. Oh well, i think it is relevant for everyone Blush

Well Yes, Lweji, but I was trying not to be picky. Grin

Paid protestors finally located... aaaaaaand they're Republicans.

If you assume that anything GOP, and mainly Trump, accuses Democrats of is true of themselves you won't be wrong many times, if ever.

So is Trump having a trade war with Canada?
And Mexico has said the wall is a hostile act?

Interesting tactics - alienating your neighbours who may well retaliate with tariffs.

Remember Orlan

There are parts of the border with Mexico where the border is actually the Rio Grande. Those of you who are civil engineers, might ponder on building a wall down the middle of a river - where the country on the opposite side might not be............entirely co-operative. Grin

He's just lashing out, trying to start fights to look all big and tough. Standard practice for bullies and idiots. Also starting fights is very distracting, which is helpful when people keep mentioning inconvenient links with Russia Grin

I wonder when the UK will be the target of one of his tweets?

I reckon that Russia is now the sub-text to everything. (Although some cases would be gratifying.) He's just not delivering now. For his heartland or - more importantly - for the GOP.

Cave I'm sure I read something about a month ago where someone that knew Ivanka before the election said that is NOT how she normally talks.

Lweji · 25/04/2017 21:25

building a wall down the middle of a river

It's built on the US side.

There is already a fence there, in fact, and which has been creating a few problems:

Those "so called" judges - are they linked to the judges living on a "so called" island in the Pacific ocean?

That pesky law gets in the way, doesn't it...

The Pacific triangle, where entire armadas are misplaced.

castleontheground · 25/04/2017 21:46

Not so long ago 'a trump' in our household was language for a odious smell and possibly noise emitted from an anus. I am really cross Trump has hijacked this word. Now the word 'trump' brings all sorts of associations with it.

Talking about Armadas - and for your general edification - I watched a programme once which featured the (umpteen greats) granddaughter of the man in charge of the actual Armada. She was mad keen on flowers and fell in love with this garden she'd seen in a picture. Some castle or other.

Sent her Man of Business to find out about the place with a view to maybe buying it - and cornered him on his return to find out who owned it.

He replied - rather dejectedly - 'You do, Madame.'

What it is to be a wealthy, titled, Spaniard, eh?

Wow.

Orlantina · 25/04/2017 21:50

How many ships do you need to have an armada? Do the ships need to be doing something to be an armada? Does it need to have a purpose?

We have carrier groups. Is that an armada? Is there a link between Armageddon and an armada?

I wonder if Trump knows?
