@Lweji slightly premature yes!

But we can just let off steam on here !

Scroty you are a disgusting human being. I know you will get away with stuff for a while... but believe me, that doesn't last. You will be judged. You are unhappy with a nasty heart. You will never rest easy.

The end for now

I am minded of Bob Dylan, back in 1963, when he wrote Masters of War

....
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Very fitting from Bob!

AcrossthePond55 · 09/10/2020 20:54

There's a Dylan song for everything!

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 09/10/2020 21:02

And quite a lot of them make sense even if you don;t have a copy of the crib!

Roussette · 09/10/2020 21:18

Bob Dylan is my DHs favourite artist ever

I think he deserved his Nobel.

Lweji · 09/10/2020 22:13

I'm sharing an Evanescence recent song.

"Love over hate. Truth over lies." Grin

Flavabobble · 09/10/2020 22:31

I think he deserved his Nobel
I'd like to think he's practising his acceptance speech.

A film to watch for our time ...

The Madness of King George www.imdb.com/title/tt0110428/

'When King George III goes mad, his Lieutenants try to adjust the rules to run the country without his participation. As the monarch alternates between bouts of confusion and near-violent outbursts of temper, his hapless doctors attempt the ineffectual cures of the day'

Familiar?!

Trump's physician Conley is now trying to prop Trump up with drugs. And his lieutenants (the GOP) are just carrying on like nothing is wrong. When it is so obviously all very very wrong.
Can they hold it together until 3rd November?
Doubtful

This is all tongue in cheek, but it is a film well worth watching, Nigel Hawthorne is brilliant in it. He lost out on an Oscar to Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump

Great film, where is Alan Bennett when our nation needs him? Probably sighing heavily in Camden and shutting out our hideous reality. Me too. Terrible times.

Lweji · 10/10/2020 08:47

Trump's physician Conley is now trying to prop Trump up with drugs.

I'd love to know which kind.

That trip up the stairs must have taken some coke or amphetamines. Wink
Or maybe just an adrenaline shot to the heart. Grin

Roussette · 10/10/2020 09:00

Yes.

Do you ever speculate... when this shitshow is over.. the films, the documentaries, the series that a going to be produced depicting all of this.

OP posts:
Lweji · 10/10/2020 09:52

Not sure I'd want to watch it.
Not very fond of zombie or apocalypse movies. Wink

Yes yes, I keep thinking, "How will this read in the history books?"

Remember learning about WW2, and the sheer puzzlement of asking, "But why did the German people participate in the concentration camps? How on earth did grown men, commanders of men, take seriously a Hitler having screaming fits of rage?"

And yet apparently Scrotus screams and yells like a big angry toddler, and this causes people not to want to anger him, and to obey him more.Confused future students are going to sit there going, "Wha...?"

I think he must start by building a relationship by being charming (this has been reported), and by the time starts screaming they're caught in the dynamics of a classic abusive relationship.

Lweji · 10/10/2020 10:33

It does sound a bit like, ahem, Hitler. Shock

TheNorthWestPawsage · 10/10/2020 12:04

Letting of steam to help close the thread?
Not enough hours in the day!

But in a nutshell - I want Trump and his disgusting family and army of enablers to suffer. To suffer debilitating illness, poverty and prejudice for the rest of their miserable lives. Every fucking single fucking one of them.

yetanothernamitynamechange · 10/10/2020 12:30

@lweji naaah, hitler served in his armed forces.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 10/10/2020 12:31

I want them humiliated and seen through, more than anything else. Their physical well-being or otherwise doesn't worry me so much.

Roussette · 10/10/2020 12:41

I want the name Trump to be synonymous with lies, greed and failure.

I want the word to enter the dictionary with that meaning.
To 'trump' = to grift, to lie, to deceive.

I want the name to be stripped from every establishment they own. And for people to be embarrassed going anywhere that has that name until that happens. I want the Trump org to fold with spectacular debts.
I want all of the family to have to keep a low profile because of shame.
I want Barron to change his name and get a new face in South America and live a happy life lol.
I want all who associated with him bring out books telling us what it was really like but every penny made from this to be donated to worthy charities.

That'll do for now... 😂

Good point.

And Amen to all the wishes.

Oblivion, though, might be his biggest punishment.

Sorry, this was the good point.

Me neither. We lived it. Why would we want to wallow in it afterwards? The exception might be the movie that shows Scrotus being dragged out of the Oval Office kicking and screaming. That I'd watch.

You know, I never thought about it before but my dad didn't watch WWII movies. I guess now I know why.
