"And all I wanted to do was sell some Trump water."

God bless America!

Alleluia! The Donald has issued the Decree! As of twenty minutes ago all deaths from drug abuse over-dose in America have stopped!
Stopped right this minute!

Wonderful. Why didn't Obama ever use the powers of the presidency to issue such an announcement?

I can hardly wait to see just how The Donald is going to wipe out all Radical Islamic Terrorism from the Face of the Earth! Only He can do this because he knows more than all the generals.

I can feel just how Great we all are now--the Donald promised he would listen to me.

Well, he managed to get through the speech without starting a nuclear war, so I suppose that's something...

Though of course the day's still young...

(imagine this delivered in Rod Serling's voice)
Donald Trump, a fabulously wealthy entrepreneur and real estate mogul, with an ego the size of the 68-story glittering tower he erected in Manhattan in honor of himself.  A man with a bad orange comb-over that unsuccessfully attempts to overshadow a permanent pout.  This is the face of unrestrained privilege.  Born with a 24-karat gold spoon in an oversized mouth that can't stop spewing out an endless barrage of insults, self-glorifying praise, and enough unintelligible non sequiturs to fill the Vatican Library.

Donald Trump wanted it all and now he has it — the Oval Office in Washington DC.  An army of Secret Servicemen ready to tend to his every need.  A bevy of small buttons for doing everything from ordering a 3 AM six-course Twitter snack, which he does quite often, to starting a nuclear war on a whim, which he may do all-too-soon.  Yes, President Trump has it all, no doubt.

Or at least that's what he thinks.  For President Trump is about to find out what he lacks aside from class, manners, tact, and an attention span of longer than 2.4 seconds.  Today, President Donald J. Trump will find himself, as they say, in over his jumbo-sized orange head.  Today, President Donald J. Trump and the great country he leads, indeed the entire planet, will learn that his lack of planning and policy is a one-way, unexchangeable ticket ... to the Twilight Zone.

President Trump!

It was not the day his wife would become president after all, but it seems Bill Clinton still plenty enjoyed himself at the inauguration.
The former president was captured on camera supposedly ogling Ivanka Trump as she arrived at ceremony on Friday.
Clinton seemed to bite down on his lip with approval and then muttered something as he intently watched from the podium at the Capitol.
But it wasn’t just the cameras who caught Bill.
Hillary was laughing alongside Michelle Obama when she suddenly noticed that her husband wasn’t watching what was happening on stage.
She turned around and gave Clinton a long disapproving stare as she waited for him to notice that he had been caught red-handed.
Clinton finally moved his head an inch as if to just barely acknowledge her.
Hillary then narrowed her eyes and turned back to the stage like a woman who had seen it all before.
Many on Twitter claimed Clinton was staring at Ivanka, and were quick to fire both jokes and criticism at the former President over the moment. It is impossible to independently verify from the video.

I find it amusing the way you apparently think that you can sit over in Australia, or the UK, fat and happy just being a bemused spectator, and that nothing that this narcissistic megalomaniac will do will ever impact negatively on your life, or the well being of your country...

If that's what you believe, you could not possibly be more wrong...

Oh come on Jim, allow me a little levity at the situation before the shit hits the fan full time?

I have no doubt that Prime Minister Corbyn would raise a similar chuckle from you.

I have to agree; if I couldn't laugh at it I'd shoot myself.

A majority of racist, ignorant Brits voted for Brexit. A minority of racist, ignorant, Republican Americans voted for Trump.

I don't feel as bad as you should.

One racist American characterised half the British nation as racist, ignorant Brits.

Your Aspergers makes you incapable of feeling appropriate emotion.

Why not try to learn how things outside of yourcountry, sorry state, sorry, city, sorry wife's basement, actually work, instead of making an arse of yourself constantly. Your pretence to be a Democrat always fails when your inate snobbery, comes to the fore.

This rebellion wasn’t caused by racism or a paroxysm of infantile anger. It was considered. The workers spied an opportunity to take the elite that despises them down a peg or two — and they seized it. They asserted their power, and in the process, blimey: they changed the world.

As someone from an ethnic minority background, I have been dismayed by the scorn and intolerance directed at Brexiters. I had sound reasons for my choice

My decision was far from easy. The democratic deficit and national sovereignty were issues of concern, especially given the trajectory of the EU. The European commission consists of unelected officials who lack democratic accountability. And given how far we’ve come since joining the EEC in 1973, it’s at least a little unnerving to consider how much more politically integrated the EU will be in 10 or 15 years’ time. Our politicians may still make awful decisions, but at least they are accountable to us.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... -brexiters

So, being based in the West Midlands, an ethnically diverse region in which almost 1.8million people voted to leave the EU compared to 1.2million who voted to remain, I decided to meet with Brexit supporters from Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country. I discovered that the Remainers’ caricature of the Leave voter as a racist ignoramus was very far from the truth. The Leavers I spoke to were reasoned, sensible and motivated primarily by a desire for more control over their lives and more of a say on political issues.

Tanveer Khan, a taxi driver in Birmingham, told me: ‘I voted Leave to maintain sovereignty. It is about the dignity of the nation.’ Politicians don’t care about ‘common people’, he said, adding that ‘politics has become so stagnant that it stinks’. Hugh McDowell, a pensioner, echoed Khan, saying he wanted ‘control, simple as that. The British parliament should make decisions, and we can kick MPs out if they don’t do what they said they would do.’ Accountability and democracy were also the main issues for Terry Biddulph, managing director of an IT company in Birmingham: ‘I voted out because the EU is undemocratic. This is my principal reason. But in the media this issue is hardly mentioned.’ Sue Shrimpton, a foster carer in West Bromwich, is similarly concerned about a lack of control: ‘I voted out as I feel it’s about time we started to make our own decisions as a nation.’ Phil Harris, a lollipop man in Birmingham, told me, ‘I want us to take power back to our own country, and make our own decisions, not do what Brussels wants us to do. This isn’t about racism; I want my identity back.’

Your ignorance, racism, and the fact that you have a turd for a brain, are shocking.

PS. President Trump eh?

Yo BB, your Trump countdown clock isn't counting down. How am I supposed to remember when 12PM on January 20th, 2021 comes around? I don't want to miss Ivanka and Kanye being sworn into office.

A watched pot never boils. It doesn't count down as you are watching it, but if you refresh the screen it updates itself.

I gather the NPS estimates the crowd at 250k; as a reminder, it was 1.8 million for Obama.

He'll never be loved so much, no matter what he does. I take comfort in knowing that will stick in his craw forever!
