Stupid boiled ham face is my new favourite line ever its genuinely superb Grin

Roussette · 09/06/2020 21:05

Stupid boiled ham face is so juvenile, that's why I love it!

As for his address to the nation, I really might have to watch this one, although I'll need a stiff drink I agree!

macaroniandpizza · 09/06/2020 21:18

Dare i ask what time its on at? 🙈🙈

Roussette · 09/06/2020 21:28

Certainly not today, I've checked WH live feeds. I'll post on here if it comes up onTwitter when!

macaroniandpizza · 09/06/2020 22:19

Thank you :)

I'm sure that speech is going to be a 4 fingers speech

AcrossthePond55 · 10/06/2020 01:16

I'll go fire up my bong then!

Lweji · 10/06/2020 01:48

An interesting, but terrifying, thought.

We need to think hard and creatively about what a defeated Trump could do from November to January.

The 1991 description of 1963 Barr’s harassment sounds eerily like the 2020 Barr. He “lived to make me miserable,” with a “vicious fixation on my little Jewish ‘commie’ ass,” Lohman alleged, because he wore peace and racial-equality pins. He said the four Barr brothers picketed the school’s “Junior Carnival” because proceeds went to the NAACP, and he alleged that Billy Barr, the “most fanatic rightist” of the four, later “teamed with the New York City riot police to attack anti-war protesters and ‘long hairs.’ ”

I suspect it will be a lot worse than Clinton's staff removing the Ws from all keyboards before Bush the Younger took office

I've been worried about that since October 2016.

It will depend on the election. If it's a close call or a big defeat.
My best guess is he'll flee the country find some interests abroad.

Mittens030869 · 10/06/2020 09:11

I can’t bring myself to listen to that man speaking, he makes me so angry every time he opens his mouth.

Mittens030869 · 10/06/2020 09:14

I do wish we still had Spitting Image. The creators would have such a lot of fun mocking Trump.

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 10/06/2020 09:59

Oh, I don't know, @Mittens030869, Trump does the self-mockery well enough all on his own, without realising he's a caricature of himself!

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 10/06/2020 10:12

That Washington Post article about Barr's history as a bully ends "If only people had listened to Jimmy Lohman and the Florida Flambeau."

I expect they did. A nasty bully was exactly what Trump wanted for the post.

pinktaxi · 10/06/2020 10:34

Jesus! Now he's said the elderly man who was knocked over and sustained a serious head injury and was bleeding on the sidewalk, was faking it! That he was an activist of some description.

Words fail me

thehill.com/homenews/coronavirus-report/501835-senators-seek-investigation-into-trump-administrations-project?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=30572

'Three Democratic senators are calling for an investigation into "Project Airbridge," the Trump administration's public-private arrangement with six of the country's largest medical supply companies to deliver personal protective equipment (PPE) from overseas to the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the initiative has lacked critical oversight and has misspent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars.

"Project Air Bridge - like the broader Trump Administration response to coronavirus - has been marked by delays, incompetence, confusion, and secrecy involving multiple Federal agencies and actors," the senators wrote to the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee in a letter released Tuesday requesting that the panel initiate an investigation.'

B1rdbra1n · 10/06/2020 10:57

He surely has dementia, his 'filters' are shot to pieces, how can he not realise that just makes him look bad?
What's he going to be like on his rallies now ....completely gaga??

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 10/06/2020 11:47

On his rallies Trump will remember how to do them even if his short-term cognition is now shot; same as gaga grannies remember the war perfectly but forget their grand-children's names. And his cackling flock will notice his imbecilities and word-salads no more now than they ever have.

lionheart · 10/06/2020 11:54

He can read off the screen and somehow still win plaudits for being conciliatory and Presidential or he can go off piste and turn it into a narcissistic, nonsensical rant.

I'm betting on the latter.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 10/06/2020 14:28

No placards and posters in the WP picture in that article: have they been removed?

AcrossthePond55 · 10/06/2020 14:33

How about

"FGS Don't vote for me, I'm an arsehole"
"Like destruction and corruption? I'm your guy!!!"
"Trump/Pence 2020, if you love prejudice, pollution, and poverty"

Oh, I got a million of 'em.
