    I'm so bored of all this trump stuff, they need to either get rid of him or just get used to the fact he is president and get on with things. All the squabbling is just pointless

    Well, that's Bikeradar for you in a nutshell.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

    It's a real, live soap opera at a very high level.

    It's also good enough for the Oxford website. Like a lot of these often repeated grammar corrections it falls into one of these grey areas where modern use has made it acceptable though some still frown on it.

    It's boring now because the stupidty of Trump and many of his minions is so relentless but it's important that people stand up and raise their voices to oppose it.

    In the long term he'll be remembered as the worst president of all time, who lied to his people and the world on a daily basis, who invoked the Nazi Germany playbook against the people and the press, who maintained the lowest approval rating throughout his presidency and the president who enacted the fewest bills despite having majorities in both the House and Senate (until November anyway).

    I'm halfway through the book, and can say you've probably read the juiciest bits already. And that the chapter that is of equal importance to the rest is the author's notes, where he says that he knows that basically half the people who spoke to him are liars, so to bear that in mind when assessing what the book says.

    Stephen Miller on Jake Tapper's show. On the Trump Tower meeting: "I have no knowledge of anything to do with that meeting. But what I can tell you unequivocally is that the allegations and insinuations in this book, which are a pure work of fiction, are nothing but a pile of trash through and through."

    Ah wasn't at the meeting, has no knowledge of it, but is very well qualified to comment on it (as Trumps lapdog) :D
    All lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

    A quick one

    If Trump does go ahead sue writer bloke for libel then writer bloke will have to disclose all his sources, notes, etc in court - or am I wrong?

    So this will prove that ether the book is trash or Trump's admin really is falling apart?

    So is it a bad thing if it does go to court?

    It would be splendid for that and more reasons.

    But it won't.

    Well, if it does, it could be even more fun than this case, when Trump sued...

    When you say 'writer bloke' do you mean author? And no he will not have to disclose all of his 'sources' they may be opinions rather than reportage. And who cares.

    exploiting all his failures to write off tens of millions in tax, getting the sucker taxpayers to pay, again and again - success!


    I wondered how he got away with this but he did. I also thought that it was a debt write off and not tax. Anyway. That is the way it is. My (NHS and private) dentist has got a Ferrari - she is just rich. The issue about sources of income and prices are secondary - I doubt she has broken the law.

    The US have learnt from the experience of electing a TV personality, with no experience in government at all, to the highest office.

    Ronald Regan was an actor too, no?

    He just did what's now known as an Arnie before he became president.

    TBF, she can also form coherent sentences, which seems to put her at a distinct advantage over the current incumbent.

    Governor of the most prosperous state in the Union with an economy just a little smaller than that of the UK? Yes that's the fella.
    I'd put that in the experience column. Wouldn't you?

    I guess so, though how much experience he had for that...

    Same goes for Arnie.

    Large parts of the US have got a real anti-intellectual streak. That won't change.

    They treat celebs like they're royalty. This will also not change.

    Let's start with an achievable goal, and work up from there.

    The fact that everyone is getting so excited about one half decent speech shows how far standards have fallen.

    When we went to California a couple of years ago people were complaining about the almost complete lack of state funding as Arnie had pretty much bankrupted the state. Having been governor of California is not necessarily a good thing.

    Did I or did I not read that Michelle Obama was being proposed as a prospective Democratic Party candidate for President on the basis of one half decent speech a year or two ago?

    Not disagreeing with that.

    (though California is always almost bankrupt).

    Yes, some people wanted her to stand, I believe she has said she would never stand.
