Well just as you think he can't get worse... he does.

Will he tweet anything about white supremacists?

Doubt it.

Thanks for new thread

PricklyBall · 14/08/2017 21:09

Thanks!

Yes, you're right. There's nothing in this week's events that's actually funny.

I saw a news flash on my phone about the orange one denouncing the white pointy headed ones. I think it was the Washington post.

Thanks, Microwave. Smile

Why our America (and britain) and this rather attractive planet and the mainly lovely people who live on it are worth fighting for.

Extract from email I got from writer friend in US:

"Chalottesville is home of the university founded by Thomas Jefferson~ in 1819, one of the oldest in the country~ and until this event a symbol of enlightenment. Now it is a symbol of Trumpism and the KKK~ with protestors on our side trying their best to remind the country of what it used to stand for."

Thanks for the new thread Microwave.

The bar is set low barely there with this one.

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 14/08/2017 21:19

Thank you Microwave.

Checking in.

Feeling disheartened by the number of people on Facebook (comments on news posts, not my friends I hasten to add) and Twitter who seem to support what's happened in the last few days.

To pharaphrase something I read on Twitter:

When threatening nuclear war with North Korea is the SECOND worst thing you've done this week, it's time to look in the mirror.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 14/08/2017 21:24

Thanks Microwave, agree with your thread title, but we mustn't give up in despair.

HowDoYouFeelNow · 14/08/2017 21:28

Thanks for the new thread, Microwave.

DH and I were discussing recent events, including the NK nuclear pissing contest & Charlottesville, on a long car journey this afternoon. He was telling me about a theory on interstellar contact with other advanced life forms which postulates that societies reach a certain level of maturity & advancement and then implode through in-fighting etc before they master advanced interstellar travel and communications. This theory says there have been/will be many advanced societies & lifeforms, but lasting long enough to be around at the same time & able to make contact is the challenge. DH then got gloomy and pondered whether the humans on Earth are approaching implosion/annihilation point. We decided to change the subject at this point...

Roussette · 14/08/2017 21:34

Thanks for new thread microwave. It's hard to find Trump ridiculous or take the piss out of him at the moment, he's worse than that, so I get the title totally.

FantasticButtocks · 14/08/2017 21:42

Thanks Microwave Brew

Oh yes, where are my manners? Thank you Microwave

Thank you for the new thread Microwave
As my language is deteriorating daily I'm placemarking with a "Fuck you Trump!"

I hope the next thread title includes "the end".

Thank you MS.

This must be awful for this family.

I'm a constant and sad lurker. Thank you to the persistent and strong. Times are grim but these threads keep me optimistic. That man confuses me...

blueskyinmarch · 14/08/2017 21:54

Thank you for this new thread and thank you to all who keep these threads up to date. I don't post much but I read everything. I am now beyond disgusted with SCROTUS. He is scum.

Trump continues feathering his nest but maybe now some of the charities listed here can be persuaded to look elsewhere for a venue.
