May Hope and History Rhyme (Trump#116)

With thanks to Seamus Heaney for inspiring the President Elect. Smile

"History says, don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme."

She's a nasty woman. Nasty.

I love this thread! I'll miss you all when the circus ends 🙌

Roussette · 05/01/2021 17:26

Maggie but when is this circus going to end? I just feel that 'he' is not going anywhere anytime soon....
and then there's his ghastly children...
Hey ho

Rousette - he's not going anywhere soon that's true and it may be that Biden's normal (boring but oh so welcome) style may cause the media to spotlight the ex Don and his antics.

Don't even mention the kids - the real thing is bad enough, can you imagine the fake goods 🤬

DGR - now commonly known by your initials 😆 - you, along with other ol' faithfuls on here, have provided so much info and entertainment. As sung by David Essex - "Salve Regina!"

I see Iran have issues an Interpol red notice for Trump. That'll go down well Hmm

Roussette · 05/01/2021 17:59

And whilst he's around I don't think these threads are going anywhere!

I so want politics to be boring again. In this country too.

I can certainly see why he was a pin up. (Hell, it was the 70s Smile). At my age I was never confused, but that was probably my "type" ...

With any luck, Biden will make enough slips of the tongue and wear enough brown suits to shock the press into forgetting Trump. Maybe even play golf once a week - that should be enough.

Interesting maybe he will be reluctant to head out of the US

It makes you realise why 'May you live in interesting times,' is a curse.

Thanks for the David Essex link - took me right back there Grin

What would 20's me think about 2020-2021? Sad

Potustrumpnomore - 🤣

Do you think one day (soon?!!) we'll be able to look back and truly laugh at this clown?

Not Nambia? Hmm
And what about the shithole nations?

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 05/01/2021 21:18

I was on the phone with a friend just now and implored him to feel pity for the bodyguards Trump will now have until the end of his life, and he pointed out that yes, it would be a shitty job, but Trump’s perpetual bodyguard can be subpoenaed to give evidence against him if he steps out of line on for example fraud, and he has to have them with him at all times; he can ask them to leave the room, but they can then be required to give evidence as to when this has happened.

Permanent bodyguard also means permanent narks.

I just snorted at him saying Czechoslovakia - he looked pleased with himself as he had practiced and got it right Grin

Polls have now closed in GA. I know we aren't going to have the full results for DAYS, but it will be interesting to see the early returns.

As far as getting rid of Scrotus, there are just some stenches that linger long after the offending 'source' has been thoroughly cleaned up. I'm afraid he is one of those stenches. He may be gone, but his 'legacy' will linger for a long, long time.

lionheart · 06/01/2021 03:10

Still too close to call.

HOLY COW HAVE YOU SEEM HOW CLOSE THE VOTES ARE IN GEORGIA?!

Sorry... shouting.

Right now there are less than 500 votes between Perdue and Ossoff.

Hooray! Mainlining CNN again! Grin

Sinful8 · 06/01/2021 04:45

@Lweji

If Trump ends up in Scotland, or somewhere else in the UK, and an international arrest warrant (or whatever is called) is issued, in which Embassy do you think he would find shelter?
No one cares what an Iranian warrant says.

Hardly a year goes by without some state assassinating an Iranian official or two
