lion Nixon was famous for making that sign, especially when he made it at the helicopter door after his resignation when they were flying him off for the last time in disgrace. Pretty ironic.

(Remember that a 'palm facing forward V' means 'victory' here in the US)

I was just struck with the irony of the arrest having been made by FBI agents who are not being paid.

Some people simply take pleasure in their jobs. Wink

It's a clear message, though, that government shutdown won't stop certain investigations.

PerkingFaintly · 25/01/2019 18:52

Yes, it's the palm-forward V that means victory in the UK, too.

The other way means... something else.Grin

(There are pictures of Churchill showing it both ways...)

tRump is about to deliver a speech/statement regarding the shutdown. I read on Twitter he's caved for now, but who knows what that means, he could be announcing a State of Emergency. This is not a good Friday for him...

And here is Roger Stone, the Proud Boys and white nationalist hand symbols...
I hope he gets everything coming to him. Anyone with a tattoo of Nixon on his back deserves it

I know it's not good form to mock someone's looks.....but Roger Stone is one ugly motherfucker. He's got a skull the shape of a dropped ice cream cone.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 25/01/2019 19:20

Trump speaking - So government back open for 3 weeks. Funded until Feb 25th

TheNorthWestPawsage · 25/01/2019 19:22

But it's still Wall, Wall, (fucking) Wall.

SanFranBear · 25/01/2019 19:25

So the shutdown ends....

Wheeesht · 25/01/2019 19:29

Nancy Pelosi should toast herself this evening.

'Native American community leaders have offered to educate the staff and students at Covington Catholic high school after its students were filmed in an apparent confrontation with a Native American elder at the Lincoln Memorial last week.'

'For first time this morning, shutdown inconvenience GOP mega-donors (airport delays). Now is immediate re-open of government. Coincidence?'

Rogue Melania is probably on the money

Roussette · 25/01/2019 19:47

A stay of execution until 15th Feb, he's said he still wants wall wall wall and if he doesn't get it then he will declare a national emergency

So he isn't giving up. It was a rabid anti immigration speech and I can't remember exact words on something that struck me... he talked of desperate people wanting to come here but we need a steel barrier to keep them out. Shock Or similar.

Roussette · 25/01/2019 19:49

Oh and he's still banging on about women with duct tape over their mouths. I thought that had been discounted?

AcrossthePond55 · 25/01/2019 19:50

Anyone notice his temp deal is in effect on the date of the previously proposed SotU speech?

Coincidence? I think not

It has Roussette but it is stuck in his brain now.

Can't imagine why.

Furloughed San Franciscans none too impressed with 45's suggestion they make a deal with a grocery store. It's almost as though he were a rich elitist with no clue about the day to day basics of life.

Federal workers react to Trump’s grocery remarks: ‘That’s not how supermarkets work’
www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Federal-workers-react-to-Trump-s-grocery-13560126.php

“When they go for groceries, they will work along,” Trump said. “They know the people. They’ve been dealing with them for years. And they work along.”

No, said a half dozen unpaid workers at the federal building on Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco, they don’t.

“Sounds like someone who never bought his own groceries,” said Ellen Leonida, a federal public defender.

AcrossthePond55 · 25/01/2019 20:28

Now, now Wheesht don't you know he has the best vocabulary? He knows all the words. Like hamberder, anonymomus, and of course, covfefe. Just to name a few.

Because we'd be here all day if we named them all.
