This isn't a drill. And it isn't receiving the universal condemnation most of us would have thought inevitable just two or three years ago.

What were people saying about Farage on the last page? What's he doing?

Which means that Judge Roy Moore who has the support of Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, and Nigel Farage will win.

This is the party who cheered Farage. German nationalism cheering the armies of Hitler.

Nigel Farage 'to form new political party after Tory disaster' to continue Brexit fight

www.express.co.uk/news/uk/858054/farage-ukip-theresa-may-conservatives-brexit-mps

There's an election for a senate seat in Alabama, MissHoolie, because of Jeff Sessions leaving to become attorney general.

Two Republicans are trying to become the Republican candidate, Luther Strange (endorsed by Trump), and judge Roy Moore (endorsed by Bannon).

Moore is a hard-core rightwing "Christian" nutjob: birther, anti-gay-rights, 9/11 caused by US being secular... He's been suspended from Alabama's Supreme Court twice for refusing to follow laws he doesn't like.

Nigel Farage, manofthepeople™, is speaking in support of Moore at the election rally.

amp.theguardian.com/politics/2017/sep/24/nigel-farage-alabama-roy-moore-donald-trump

I'm quite puzzled as to whom this is supposed to play to. I imagine most of Farage's UK supporters would be really turned off by Moore, if they heard about him. And I can't imagine most of Moore's supporters have ever heard of Farage or give a shit about Brexit. So I don't see they can run any line more sophisticated than "Wooooo, we da rebels!"

Which may of course be all they care about.

Ohhh, just read Pain's link about Farage "new political party."

So, he'll be needing dosh and some troll bots logistical support, then.

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. And the Mercers (or other right wing funders) will sign the cheque.

Don't be too sure about the Mercers' continued support - it may not last. (In bigly terms that is.)

I do think this is a huge strategic mistake for Farage, though. I can't imagine appearing on stage to cheer a proactively homophobic, rightwing, US fundy Christian who can't get over Obama being black, is going to enhance his appeal to his usual UK voters.

What Alabama’s GOP Senate Frontrunner Told Me Should Scare The Daylights Out Of You

'In 2002, Moore wrote a 9-0 decision in which the Alabama Supreme Court gave custody of three teenagers to their heterosexual father rather than their lesbian mother after the parents divorced.

'“Homosexuality,” Moore wrote in the decision, is “an inherent evil, and if a person openly engages in such a practice, that fact alone would render him or her an unfit parent.” Moore went on to declare that homosexuality is “abhorrent, immoral, detestable, a crime against nature, and a violation of the laws of nature.”'

Maybe Farage is planning on starting a new party then perking

#BREAKING North Korea foreign minister says Trump has declared war on his country
4:03 pm · 25 Sep 2017

Oh.

Erm. That doesn't sound......good

Is this more rhetoric or has the shit actually hit the fan now? :(

Who can tell?

Well, to be fair to KJU, he did say at the UN last week he was going to destroy their country. That's why it's so critical why you don't put a self-aggradising narc with zero grasp of diplomacy and no filter in a head of state role...

Is this some kind or record? Has any other president pissed off so many people/countries in less that, what 5 months?

I remember watching Trump win and thinking - well we're fucked then. Nuclear war here we come. I suppose I'm surprised we made it this far really. Hey ho. Off out for my birthday meal. I'm going to eat all the cake - fuck the diet, it's seems a little pointless now.........

Wasn't Hilary the warmonger?

Good old Trump - he's a lover (or groper) not a fighter (draft dodger).

Happy Birthday, catgirl1976 - not my birthday, but I think I might go find some cake, anyway.

Thanks Ouis

I think it's cake and gin time all round :(

He's started calling Kim 'Little Rocket Man' now. Who is so insane that they would inflame a volatile situation just to say 'I won'.
Please someone do something. This is mad.

Is he going to start telling 'yo mamma' jokes about Kim's mum now?
