Trump

LOL. Well, what we've done on BREXIT clearly hasn't worked has it. Don't mistake me for someone who has any time for the grotesque excuse of a man, just saying that BREXIT may have been the one aspect where his approach (rather than him personally) may have been more effective than the apologetic, invertebrates, we've had on the job.

Donald Trump wants to be a dictator. It’s not enough just to laugh at him.
by Jonathan Freedland

Maybe we’re too busy laughing to see it. Perhaps it’s the jokes and memes that Donald Trump generates in abundance, the gift that keeps on giving, that blinds us to a chilling fact that we’d rather not face. Put simply, the leader of the world’s most powerful nation is behaving like an authoritarian dictator, one who threatens democracy in his own country and far beyond.

Here’s the latest example of how the comedy can distract. On Thursday Donald Trump marked the Fourth of July by praising the US military, invoking the heroism of an army that defeated the British in the 18th century in part because “it took over the airports”. Lol: behold, the ignoramus president. Cue more chuckles as Trump delivered that speech during a downpour, the Almighty himself apparently deciding to rain on Trump’s parade.

But all those giggles served to obscure the more pressing fact: that in a departure from all precedent, Trump had used Independence Day to stage a military display, in which M1A2 tanks and Bradley armoured vehicles rolled into Washington, while fighter jets and helicopters filled the sky. The generals, mindful of the need to separate military and political power, had long opposed this extravaganza and, tellingly, most of the joint chiefs contrived to stay away. They understood that such a pageant is the stuff of despots, not democrats.

Ironically, BREXIT might have been one of the few things his particular brand of stubborn a-hole attitude may have worked ok. He would have just come out and refused to pay £39bn (or whatever it is) for a divorce bill, or actually done much negotiating. He'd have torn up the "deal" and walked away on a No Deal BREXIT until we got offered something that we thought was a good deal. We'd have been preparing for No Deal from day 1, with the EU being the ones scrambling around seeing what they can offer to avoid it. Arrogance, rather than subservient apologies and desperate attempts to force through teh same unpopular deal over and over again, may have been a better approach.

If Sir Kim does leave we will have to install a Trump friendly ambassador to replace him. I mean we need them all the more now what with WTO. (Tee hee ) Imagine though the guff the new man will have to listen to. Oh it’s all quite funny if you can forget our children’s future.

Judge him on the state of the American economy.
Yes, he makes a lot of people squirm but how easily we forget the non-achieving, fake, Obama....the duplicitous Hilary.... and the plain idiotic, war-mongering Bush. What a collection of deadbeats.

When I was a kid, the assassination of presidents (or at least attempted assassinations) was a regular occurrence. And they were GOOD guys!!

How come this prick is still alive?

A new internal Democrat poll in swing districts released on Sunday showed that socialist Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) are extremely unpopular and that they may cost the Democratic Party the presidency and the House in 2020.

"Ocasio-Cortez was recognized by 74% of voters in the poll; 22% had a favorable view," Axios reported. "Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — another member of The Squad — was recognized by 53% of the voters; 9% (not a typo) had a favorable view."
