Dear Father Christmas/Santa, Please grant our Christmas Wish. We have been very good this year. We promise not to say shit, cunt, or fuck too terribly much unless we're driven to it by Trump CuntFuckery. Oh shit, so much for that promise! Well, we'll TRY. Thank You, the MN Viper Freedom Squad

Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Man (Person) of the Year,” like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

Trump's cultists are busily voting for him. It would be a shame if he lost to The Dreamers or #MeToo, so definitely don't pass this link around.

I can’t wait for Time to issue a statement saying they had no plans whatsoever of naming Trump Person of the Year. That would be legendary.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 24/11/2017 23:33

goose fair enough. These aren’t the original articles I saw but do explain why it isn’t well received. They also talk about other politicians who have made the same gaffe so you’re probably right that it’s not necessarily sinister.

Turkey said Trump has promised to stop arming Kurdish fighters in Syria. Trump summary of Erdogan call appears to vaguely confirm: says Trump discussed “pending adjustments to the military support provided to our partners” now that Raqqa battle is over.

I like Andy Murray more and more every time he lets some more of his values and/or dry humour show in the public eye.

What has fascinated me about all of this is that, if true, there was a formal split rather than just a de facto non-cooperation. (I had worked out why it fascinated me earlier but I've now lost the thought. Sorry.)

The President is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year. TIME does not comment on our choice until publication, which is December 6.

Ha, Andy Murray. Love his dry humour.

PerkingFaintly · 25/11/2017 09:59

I'm officially a saddo. I've actually analysed how one can tell that's a machine-made pie. (I know, I know, but I was bored...)

It's in a foil tray but has a fluted crust, ie was baked in a different tin. And the filling doesn't fit! It's a perfect, cut-out circle and doesn't flow into the fluting.

Maybe Sanders reheated it herself, though...Grin

tl;dr The White House Press Secretary even lies about pies.

badbadhusky · 25/11/2017 10:00

because you go over and above, Perking. Wink

PerkingFaintly · 25/11/2017 10:22

I want pie now.

Not that pie though.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 25/11/2017 11:49

SHS being pious as always

...I’ll get my coat (although at least I didn’t analyze pie characteristics like perking Grin )
