The Donald Trump thread

Re: The Donald Trump thread

All good here Mrs R thank you , she's not threatened to kick me out yet Doris was Furloughed so we have been home together.
I know you don't like weird stuff, but two movies that have caught my attention during this period.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...ature=emb_logo bout an hour & 20 mins

Makes a change from filth

I trust all is fine with your good self, Mr. R & Juniors

We are all good thanks, Mr R is obviously not doing any discos atm but he's got a job making medical supplies so that's one less worry, I'm stuck at home, never thought I would miss selling pasties so much tbh the parrot is happy I'm home though

I've seen the first one but I will check out the other one

After you mentioned that Q thing earlier I had a quick look what it was about, I fear it is a bit of a weapon of distraction

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Cyril, I had two forfeits in Lent, No Q, and not to eat in work.

Not eating was a piece of piss except for two days, i didn't give in but was climbing the walls for some food, we have a charidy box in the office but I toughed it out, the moment I started working from home, the no food ended in an instant, my work PC in the house is in the kitchen and within arms reach of the fridge door, i'm back in the office in the morning and it'll be interesting to see how the fit into the trousers goes or doesn't!!!.

Office....work laptop.....I thought you were a welder. Watch out that all that arcing doesn't catch the stationery alight! Stay safe!

Cyril, I'm a welder who hasn't welded seriously for about 25 years, 25 years now as a desk Jockey but will always identify as a welder because its what i liked to do and is my initial trade.

Always has been I think, (I use it as an annoyance tool) my other thoughts are that its contrived by a group twitter users making a few quid from it, books, Merch and all sorts but the one thing that has never happened, is that not one journalist has asked Trump about it, this could put it to bed in an instant. Not Even Jim Accosta!!!

Re: The Donald Trump thread

No worries, tension is high atm, especially on here it seems, when you lot stop arguing then I will worry

I'm super chilled, to the victor go the spoils! All that cyril has left is personal attacks because he is a spent force. When all is said and done it will be noted that cyril wasn't a worthy opponent.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

A fake news hack's opinion of yesterday's fraught White House press briefing in which il Duce, sorry, President Trump lost it when questioned about his (lack of) strategy a few weeks earlier in light of the current USA deaths figure. I think Trump is an ignorant buffoon and it's hard to push that to one side and be objective about the man, but from what I've seen of the briefing, it sends out terrible signals to a nation which must surely be in need of reassurance, not someone railing against the media for daring to ask critical questions.

Of course, there will be a significant number of Americans who are right behind the President on this and a smaller number in this country (at least one of whom will, almost certainly, be along shortly on here to defend him), but they're the ones he himself said would be still with him if he got out a gun on Fifth Avenue and shot someone - the ludicrous thing is that there may be enough of them to ensure he stays in his job for another four years .

This paragraph sums it up, sums everything up in fact.

"This wasn't about the dead, the desperately sick, the people fearful of catching the virus. This was about him. And more particularly his profound sense of grievance that the media has been critical of his handling of Covid-19. "

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Just to confirm that Fox is the state broadcaster/propaganda arm of Trump Organisation

The video Trump aired during the coronavirus task force briefing is directly from the March 26 episode of Hannity pic.twitter.com/m3mvZFu0CT

Trump also lied and said his team had put it together in a few hours that morning. Or his team had lied to him.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

I think to a point. The opinion part of Fox News, Hannity, Dobbs, Ingraham, Pirro will continue to salivate over him and him them. The News part is more nuanced. It is still weighted in his direction but more and more you see them calling Trump out and him getting pissy with them because he sees the channel as his News arm.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

I'm not, everybody knows flu and stuff were named after the places where they originated.

BTW you can take the 13 Russians off your list, it was all bull

I've heard it said Spanish flu originated in the USA, there again they say swine flu originated in the USA as well although the Yanks say it came from over the border.

This is true, but fox deliberately blurs the line between news and opinion.
