All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

[Brian Peacock]

There's nothing illegal about not wanting cheaper cleaner energy. We all like expensive and dirty things don't we? So what?

[Animavore]

Like I said over there-

I think I need to go on another news break like I did a year ago. This guy infuriates me too much. He's actually making me reconsider a life time of pacifism. Too many dark fantasies in my head right now.

I'll focus on real life learning guitar and educating myself to further my IT career which I've let stagnate.

I'll still be around the more frivolous sections posting funnies.

[Brian Peacock]

I can certainly sympathise with that. I basically dropped FB and Twitter for the same reasons - the cacophony of everybody shouting their pain onto the internet was having an adverse effect on my state of mind. I've been far more productive and critically-minded since.

[Animavore]

Good idea. I'll log out off Facebook too.

Better message Pappa my phone number first so I have contact for the party coming up.

Trump can't help opening his repugnant burger-hole and inserting a $900 dress shoe. Still, I think the conservative majority on the US Supreme Court will find some excuse to smooth his way, just as with the totally-not-a-Muslim ban.

'Administration Literally Tells Court to Forget About Previous Reason It Wanted to Include Citizenship Question'

So, imagine this: A rules-ignoring teenager who frequently lies tells his parents he wants to borrow the car. They ask why and he says, "to go to the library."

When they tell him the library is closed, he says he still wants to borrow the car, he'll give them another reason later, and the lie he first told them shouldn't be considered in their decision-making process.

That's pretty much what the Trump administration just did.

In the case of whether or not Trump can add a citizenship question onto the 2020 Census, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' reason for why the question needs to be included was not valid and therefore it could not be added.

The administration said it did not want to include the question for reasons of congressional redistricting – and yet today, President Trump told reporters that is his "number one" reason to have the question included.

#TrumpSpeechFail Trump says he messed up his 4th of July speech because the Teleprompter went kaput & “That’s not a good feeling.” Still, probably no worse than being sexually assaulted by a low IQ tub of goo.

Slick Willy's best mate. He and Kevin Spacey used to fly down to the Bahamas on the "Lolita Express" at Jeffery's expense. LIfe in the fast lane, eh?

Christ, what a vile bunch.

Trump administration is 'inept and insecure', says UK ambassador https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48898231

The Trump administration has been labelled "inept", insecure and incompetent in leaked emails from the UK ambassador to Washington.
Sir Kim Darroch said that the White House was "uniquely dysfunctional" and "divided" under Donald Trump.
But he also warned that the US president should not be written off.
The Foreign Office said the leak of the memos to the Mail on Sunday was "mischievous" but did not deny their accuracy.
The White House has not yet responded to the revelation of the contents of the memos, but it could test the so-called "special relationship" between the US and UK.
In the messages, Sir Kim said: "We don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction-riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept."
He questioned whether this White House "will ever look competent".

The ambassador warns that his administration will remain self-interested, adding: "This is still the land of America First".
Differences between the US and the UK on climate change, media freedoms and the death penalty might come to the fore as the countries seek to improve trading relations after Brexit, the memos said.
To get through to the president, "you need to make your points simple, even blunt", he said.
In a message sent last month, Sir Kim branded US policy on Iran as "incoherent, chaotic".
Mr Trump's publicly stated reason for calling off an airstrike against Tehran with 10 minutes to go - that it would cause 150 casualties - "doesn't stand up", Sir Kim said.
Instead, he suggested the president was "never fully on board" and did not want to reverse his campaign promise not to involve the US in foreign conflicts.
'Infighting and chaos'
Sir Kim said it was "unlikely that US policy on Iran is going to become more coherent any time soon" because "this is a divided administration".
The leaked files date from 2017 to the present day, covering the ambassador's early impressions that media reports of "vicious infighting and chaos" in the White House were "mostly true".

Clearly Sir Kim is a nasty, nasty man...

[Sean Hayden]

Thanks for sharing that Rum.

[JimC]

Is there a chance that Trump will bomb London in response?

[pErvinalia]

Scot Dutchy hopes so.
