It's come to something when you miss Sean Spicer.

I’m against kneeling in general but that’s because of my dodgy knees.
I’m also against horrible people like Trump under any circumstances. Thank you once again for these threads, where I only surface from time to time with some inanity, as I’m not terribly well informed.

MockersGuidedByTheScience · 09/06/2020 09:22

It's not the kneeling that's the problem. It's the getting back up again.

Regards disrespecting a flag, I reckon humping it like an excited spaniel is pretty high on the scale.

PerkingFaintly · 09/06/2020 10:07

The President is very much against kneeling in general'

Do evangelicals not kneel? Or did he just diss his religious base?

lionheart · 09/06/2020 10:33

I've never actually watched McNinny. The transcripts are enough.

Here is a straightforward piece on Powell and Rice and the differences between them.

My thoughts too.

True. 😁

Meanwhile, Trump and what army?

Can I advise you not to, seriously! It is like watching the worst of Fox news, it really is.

That MSNBC article, flipping 'eck. Just because he says the virus has largely gone doesn't make it gone! I think he's remembering saying it will just disappear in hot weather, well.. he's wrong on that one too Hmm

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 09/06/2020 14:37

That tweet is beyond awful. Trump is such a terrible man. I can't take it. But I quite like the first two responses showing on my Twitter feed!

Roussette · 09/06/2020 14:47

Oh please can we call him 'stupid boiled ham face' on here Grin

The trouble is... there were people on his twitter feed agreeing, saying the guy knocked over did it on purpose.
Until many said.... ok... so he cut his own head open and stayed in ICU for 2 days on purpose?

AcrossthePond55 · 09/06/2020 15:57

'Stupid, boiled ham face'. Let me bask in the appropriateness of that sobriquet. Ah yes, yes indeed. Not only looks like it, but has the IQ of it.

So since I haven't heard anything more, I assume hopefully that they've laid to rest the idea of Scrotus (aka Mr SBHF) addressing the nation in an attempt to pour (flaming) oil on troubled waters?

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 09/06/2020 16:04

"scan police communications in order to black out the equipment" with a mobile phone would be a good trick if one could do it, but I am unsure what communications they need to stomp down a street knocking over anyone who doesn't get out of their way fast enough. It isn't what I'd call something that needs by-the-second coordination from some distant headquarters or something.

(Glad that Mayor Cuomo said he had talked with the victim on the phone and said victim wasn't killed by those thugs. I hope he now makes a shed-load of money selling his story to the press.)

AcrossthePond55 · 09/06/2020 16:08

I just couldn't resist.

Roussette · 09/06/2020 16:12

I love that!

These names reminds me of 'The Room Next Door'... Michael Spicer has called him..
A petulant wasp
A Bag of flour
and others!

Here is he as the earpiece for the disinfectant comments... hilarious!

TheSparklyPussycat · 09/06/2020 16:13

Perhaps the script writers have to keep re-writing every time Trump says or tweets something.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 09/06/2020 16:30

Re: Stupid, boiled ham face... you might like these from a Spanish cartoonist and illustrator called Asier Sanz. Smile

Cartoonist? Oh no. I'd say he was an excellent portrait artist!!

B1rdbra1n · 09/06/2020 17:43

I'm seeing trump more as a boiled ham balloon, ham on the outside, just air on the inside

'In case you didn’t know, I’m April Ryan and I’m a #WhiteHouse reporter my work address is now: 1600 #BlackLivesMatter Plaza, NW - Washington, DC!

And oh by the way, President
@realDonaldTrump
now resides at: 1600 Black Lives Matter Plaza, NW - Washington, DC!'

Roussette · 09/06/2020 20:47

Looks like it's still going ahead then.... what can possibly go wrong...

@AprilDRyan
Stephen Miller, who crafted
@realDonaldTrump
immigration policy at the southern border, including separating families and caging children, is preparing a
@WhiteHouse
speech on race relations

AcrossthePond55 · 09/06/2020 20:57

Oh Lord, Roussette. I'm sure that speech is going to be a 4 fingers speech.

It's going to take 4 fingers of hard liquor straight up to be able to listen. If you don't throw your glass at the TV that is.
