We rushed out of the last thread without even a pocket handkerchief: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/a3124599-Trump-2018-Resistance-is-Never-Futile

So here's a new one, with its own

I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius.
I have a mighty button and no problems with my penius.
I have no time for television, golf or social media
Since my brain is way way better than the best encyclopedia.

I'm cutting tax, I'll build a wall, I'll take away their medicare
You can trust me 'cos I'm orange and I have the most amazing hair.
So with my total ignorance of matters heterogeneous
I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius!

Compared to other leaders, my behavior's quite unusual
My twisted tweets and pissed-on sheets have managed to amuse you all
I have to drink two-handed 'cause my fingers are the teeniest
I need a sippy-cup with the inscription "Stable Genius."

Graham does remember.

Lionheart Second hand reporting of Graham. What's the chance his memory fades?

Just a thought about not bothering to visit the UK: as far I can tell, he hasn't visited any English speaking countries yet, even Canada. Could it be related to not minding protesters if he can't understand them? I've never understood the fixation on the 'special relationship' though, as far as I can tell it simply means the US president says "jump", the UK gov asks how high.

The new ambassador to the Netherlands has finally apologised for his comments, but I'd be interested to know which country he got Netherlands mixed up with - where are the politicians being burnt?

Lindsey Graham doesn’t dispute, and basically confirms, what Sen. Durbin said about Trump. His statement also calls BS on Cotton-Perdue’s joint statement.

BI has confirmed that Trump's legal team is leaning on a new defense strategy that they hope will limit Mueller's reach into the White House. It could buy them some time, experts say, but Mueller still "holds all the cards."

The FBI did its job by investigating Moscow's interference and Trump's apparent cooperation. Now, like any wannabe dictator, he's suggesting that HE is the state and, therefore, that even legal checks on his power are "treason." They are no such thing.

It would be cynical to suggest that Ivanka Trump's government travels are focused on countries where her business has trademarks. But it wouldn't be wrong. pic.twitter.com/hwAlmnO3Pz

Good for John Feeley. So great to see someone who has a good line of sight to his own principles. I wonder how many others are wondering about their reputations in the Aftermath? I would love to see a wave of senior officials walking publicly away.
Someone was talking about the special relationship US has with Australia. Trump still has not appointed an ambassador here, which is seen as insulting.

cozietoesie · 12/01/2018 22:18

I suspect that they're mostly ostriching at the moment, Saffron. You'll likely see changes as the MidTerm campaigning starts...........

The neo-nazi website Daily Stormer is celebrating Trump's racist comments on Haiti & Africa. They say his remarks "indicate Trump is more or less on the same page as us with regards to race and immigration."

On the same page. As nazis.

The stock market is at an all time high, jobs/companies are returning to the U.S, employers are handing out big bonuses to their workers and increasing wages.

Out of touch Nancy Pelosi called the $1,000+ bonuses “chickenfeed” I suppose she'd wipe her arse with $1,000 bills if they were still around.

cozietoesie · 12/01/2018 22:51

To be fair to Pelosi, what sort of sums are the employers to make from the new tax laws? (In comparison to their disbursements for 'bonuses'.)

lionheart · 12/01/2018 22:59
