Without the "uber successful" bit. Good job the racist, misogynistic, slum landlord father and grandfather made enough that even this f&&kwit couldn't fritter it away.

Which part of Russia are you from?

I think it's hilarious. Or hillarious if you prefer.

Imagine living in a world where the old Stephen Colbert character wouldn't even be satire.

Hirohito? Really? Kamikaze not with luck. I hope he's not using his wit too disembowel himself ritually because it's not sharp enough. Seriously sick criminal? I didn't get that bit because none of the candidates have been convicted

Putin' that aside I wonder who the biggest criminal is out of Trump and H Clinton? Do you think Mueller will get to Trump or not? Imagine an impeached Trump getting defended by bots accusing Clinton of being a sick criminal.

and yes, we do give a hoot because there is a high potential that your dotard of a president will do something that will result in most of us being killed.

No possible chance he insults a whole nation there then.

I was going to write:

Anywhere South of Da Nang he'll be fine so long as he really doesn't mess up.

The North - he's phucked.


Then I remembered it's the Dotard we are talking about.

He's going to insult a whole nation in one hit.

Da Nang on the 10th and then Hanoi on the 11th....

He's phucked. At least it will be funny.

It'll be a hoot!

For a hoot you could always view Trump as channeled through Sassy Trump;

If I posed a question about the impression this first post gives of you, the answer to it would be "none more thick".

It did make me laugh though, so top points given for comedy value

Good night for the Dems then, including the election of a transgender candidate to the Virginia house of Delegates. When asked what she thought of her Republican anti LGBT rival she said : “I don't attack my constituents. Bob is my constituent now.” Class.

PhilipPirrip

A great night for diversity including New Jersey's first Sikh mayor despite racist campaigning against him. Trump's gotta be pee'd off this morning.

Also peeing Trump off will be his failed attempt to appear tough by entering the DMZ only to be turned back because of bad weather. I reckon it was really his bone spurs playing up again anytime they sense an approaching conflict zone.

bianchimoon

The guy in Virginia campaigned on a trump ticket of imigration, sanctuary cities, gang violence and Trump endorsed him.. until he lost then Trump says

Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!

Won the 4 house seats in Repug areas and failed to mention the loss in california
Sad

Isn't it true that in a democracy the electorate get the Government that they deserve?

Pause.

tangled_metal

I don't think I deserve any of them. I lead a good life, think of others and try to do no harm. How have I deserved the current self serving bunch of politicians?

I disagree with that statement. We get the government we get because we aren't offered anything better at general election time, plus we're a partisan / tribal lot. We vote more against someone than for someone.

A bit simplistic.
You get the government to whom the press backs.

bianchimoon

politicians are the same the world over, the vast majority do it to further their own lives/agendas. You could never be offered anything better because better people don't generally do politics

And who the majority of voters fall for hook, line and sinker. It is not about the individual, but the collective. Petition for a new system, or stand yourself. I'm curious as to what it would be.

PS - Read the small print.

I have direct dealings with a few prominent politicians. Firstly Nigel Rose who was MP in Cheltenham (until some nutter attacked him with a Samurai sword) and Alex Ferguson MSP - former speaker of the Scottish Parliament for example.
Alex Ferguson used to come to do his volunteers week placement with us. There was some very good conversations with staff in the tea room.
I knew Nigel Rose when I worked in the Parks Department for Cheltenham Borough Council for a short time.

Both individuals were such hard working people. I recall conversations with Alex Ferguson such as the one following a meeting in my local town at 8pm in the evening and he lives 75 miles away and said that when he got home, he would have to sit down and trawl through emails till silly o'clock. He often worked 18 hour days.

My staff at work were cynical like most about politicians but when proper conversations were elicited, it was clear that those cynics did not have a clue about process or what MP's actually do. In time, add Alex's patience, they saw things quite differently.

Now, I am not saying politicians are all honest. hard working individuals but to have a blanket scepticism over all of them is naive and misguided but the stupid promote/vote for the one's that tick their boxes and the press promote the one's that suit their agendas regardless of whether or not they will actually do any good.
So that goes back to the statement that the government get the people they deserve. Perhaps our system of representation is such that ultimately, anyone with any sense doesn't go into politics. We need them but we don't revere them. A working class hero is something to be? (They hate you if your clever and they despise a fool).

bianchimoon

I find having a blanket skepticism works best, then they have to prove themselves, rather than believing in them and being disappointed

I thought these were the most important lines of that song...

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

bianchimoon

There's room at the top they're telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill

more sums it up, cynical? I wonder why

1. I'm sorry. Maybe you can apply for citizenship somewhere civilised.
2. I think the sick criminal is the rich fool that you lot voted in. But as yet neither of them have been prosecuted. Lets see which one is first to be prosecuted.
3. It's easy to be successful when you inherit that much money. How much more successful could he have been if he had any sense?

Apparently, he would be wealthier today if he had simply banked his inheritance when he got it. So that could be your answer...

Someone said the other day (I think it was Ian Hislop on HIGNFY) if Trump had invested or banked the money he'd been given he would have been financially better off.

Has anyone seen a source for that claim?
