I used to wear clothes that blended with curtains. Different style of curtain.Grin

Just came out of the House briefing by the Deputy AG. It renewed my confidence that we should have no confidence in this Administration.

Can't they shut the gates once the buggers are our if the country. A travel ban for undesireables, if you will.

I'll bet he has to have a window seat.

I had just seen the curtain blending on twitter. When was it mentioned in the previous thread?
Have you concealed anything from me?
I might appoint a special council/councel/counsellor(?) to investigate this important matter.

Orlantina · 19/05/2017 18:52

Checking in.

Whilst the cat's away.....

Lweji · 19/05/2017 18:58

Hold the press.

This could be the first good thing out of Trump's budget proposal.

It seems they are trying to include the first paid family leave.

Probably because things are going so bigly bad that they need a positive story. Interesting that it had not been mentioned before.

It's difficult for the US reporters and entourage. As the representative of their country, they want him to do well - they just fear he won't. (It's almost like taking a troubled child to an important gathering. You just want things to go smoothly without an.......outburst of some sort.) I've read in several places, words to the effect that 'If no serious mistakes are made, the trip will be counted a success'.The bar has been set that low.

originalbiglymavis · 19/05/2017 19:05

What's going to happen to the Turkish entourage who were photographed kicking seven colours if shit out of protesters in the US?

cozietoesie · 19/05/2017 19:06

That then puts the onus on the Democrats to accept the other cuts, Lweji. (And keeps Ivanka happy/helps her public profile.) Wink

cozietoesie · 19/05/2017 19:08

I don't know if anything concrete has happened, mavis. Last I heard, they were 'discussing it' with Turkey.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/05/2017 19:16

Great thread title!

Will Trump last 9 days? Have they lined up emergency golf courses?

I reckon each countrys leader should make him take part in a random sport. For instance polo or badminton.

Errant apostrophe

BerylStreep · 19/05/2017 19:42

Love the thread title. It reminds me of the episode in Modern family where Phil inadvertently advertises his wife & daughter as hookers. He gets a phone call, thinking it is about a house he has for sale, and says in reply to the phone query 'Do the drapes match the carpets? Er, well, I don't know, I didn't really notice last time I was there. Why don't you come round and have a look?' Grin

I note there is no mention of Trump in this thread-header. Does Lionheart have intel that we don't? Or is it more a case of 'out of sight, out of mind'? That when Donny leaves the US he temporarily ceases to exist?

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 19/05/2017 19:48

Whoops, didn't say thanks for the new thread lionheart!

Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton
I burst out laughing when I saw this video this morning. Hope it brightens your day.

Not easy to avoid the unwanted Trump hug, sometimes it even takes practice...

Did you notice an American reporter referring to him as 'Mr' Trump at yesterday's presser? (Because I'm sure that 45 would have. Wink)

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 19/05/2017 19:50

I am sure the overseas trip is going to yield some interesting moments. I imagine he will be like a jet lagged toddler who is out of his routine and doesn’t like the food. I expect some epic tantrums!

And erratic, all hours tweeting...

Wearing stilts to bring me up to the requisite 6'8" (actually, who am I kidding, with stilts I might just about make 5'8").
