A general thread to discuss Trump

[JohnL]

Pelosi has rung the Pentagon apparently to try to stop Trump using the nuclear codes.

[diable rouge]

Apparently there's precedent for post-presidency impeachemnt...

In time we'll find out how much complicity there's been regarding various law enforcement and the failure of reinforcements to show up promptly on the day, got a feeling it could be jaw-dropping...https://twitter.com/AmyJBrittain/status/1347555005168054275

[KidKruger]

I read somewhere on the day that Trump had refused the request for the Nat Guard to be deployed, so other states had to provide same.

I wonder where Trump will run to.

[KidKruger]

Under a bus would be a good start !

[katesonic]

As I understand he's booked a flight to Scotland on the 19th.

But whose to believe the Sunday Post - Except for Oor Willie?

I think Nicola Sturgeon said he?s not welcome there !

[katesonic]

Apologies if this causes offence....

FIRST BELLY LAUGH OF THE YEAR ...,Nicola Sturgeon is touring Perthshire in the First Minister?s chauffeur driven car. Suddenly a cow jumps out into the road. They hit it full on and the car comes to a stop. Nicola in her usual jaunty manner, says to the chauffeur : " You get out and check - you were driving." The chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead. " You were driving, go and tell the farmer," says Nicola, I can't afford to be blamed for anything. The chauffeur walks up the drive to the farmhouse and returns five hours later totally plastered, his hair ruffled and with a big grin on his face. " My God, what happened to you ?" asks Nicola. The chauffeur replies : " When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of malt whisky, the wife gave me a slap up meal and the daughter made love to me." " What on earth did you say?" asks Nicola. ?I knocked on the door and when it was answered, I said to them, I'm Nicola Sturgeon's chauffeur and I've just killed the cow."

"yes, okay then...there were 17m odd people who voted to leave...but you've provided examples of at least 3 individuals who at one time or another said something supportive of something Donald trump did"

I mean - I named three, but there are a bajillion more. the whole cabinet are trump supportin', brexit tootin' maniacs for starters

But my favourite bit, after watching 2 days of shrill trump supporters in and on the media say "you are calling him a fascist but 70 million people vote for him!!!", leavers repeating "17 million people voted for leave" is some kind of mike drop

People complained about Trump getting elected but they didn't break into government buildings

But they did point out he was a fascist - and got the same patronising horseshit that is given to people who point out Brexit is fermented in the same grime(s)

But America always had an out - another general election. Just as UK will have other general elections

But Brexit? That shit sticks

[Blah Blah]

Trump now permanently banned from Twitter.

[KidKruger]

I don?t even use Twitter, but wow what a relief !!

Point of order. There weren't bajllions. That is a made up number. But I guess only remainers can make up numbers......thanks

Indeed, but I'm not allowed to 'unfollow' him. I may be on a long list of FBI suspects....

He's used the @POTUS account to have a moan about lefties cancelling people on twitter

That'll belong to Joe Biden in 10 days :)

Ha.........brilliant......because I have a different view to the majority on here it gets flagged as troublesome ........or at least notable enough to warrant a dedicated post....

I do feel better though, thanks. We have left the EU and nothing has spontaneously combusted......

Another poster brought up brexit in this thread. But I guess becuase I think differently to you on this issue it's easier to just label me as being gratuitous with my position.....

[Sephiroth]

? We have left the EU and nothing has spontaneously combusted...... ?

A rather privileged/ignorant take

Fishing and haulage industries are very much combusting and being very vocal about it. Maybe you noticed. Or didnt care

Northern Ireland is in all kinds of trouble as companies say they can?t handle logistics means if you as a family move from London to Belfast you now require customs declarations (to move within the United Kingdom)

And most of those quoted are expecting things to get worse not better. It will require aligning with (once again) customs union and single market to fix and will probably happen

[TheCat]

I can see no better evidence of the bias of this forum, than me talking about brexit on this thread. And even though it was in response to another comment raising brexit....at least 2 posters have suggested I am "flogging dead horse.....but didnt mention anything who the subject was first raised.......I guess that's okay as it agrees with you pre'existibg views......

[KidKruger]

Hey, let?s do some ?A general thread to discuss Trump? on this thread !

[JohnL]

A lot of Trumps mates being outed as Air force types and seen to be carrying zip tie handcuffs.

They obviously weren't up to it though as they seemed to end up tasering themselves by accident.

[Blah Blah]

That statement he put on the POTUS twitter shows he is not backing down. Even if they impeach him so that he can't stand again in 2024, there are his kids or some other stooge he can push. I suspect Trump is not going anywhere, but will become like Alex Jones, someone existing in the social media shadows, creating his own media platforms and causing as much mayhem as he can. It is going to be a rough ride for America I fear.

OMG.That sounds awful. An entire form to complete? Say it isn't so?

You are so right...absolute chaos.....

[keano77]

if you as a family move from London to Belfast you now require customs declarations (to move within the United Kingdom)

Do you mean for their possessions? And would this apply for the Republic of Ireland (and indeed other EU countries)?

[Sephiroth]

Cat. Nicely dodging the more serious impacts

But the point about Northern Ireland isn?t about a form. It?s about breaking up an country or a union. If you are treating part of your union (ni) as a seperate country (which is what the form does) it?s another nail in the United Kingdom?s coffin. That?s no small thing. It?s why the British army, Ulster terrorist groups and the IRA were in conflict for so long with so many lives lost. To casually dismiss this as ?a form? and not see where it potentially leads to us irresponsible

Keano - does that answer your question too? Why would you want to equate Northern Ireland (part of the U.K.) with eu countries like the Republic of Ireland

Y?all are ignoring the warning signs.

[keano77]

No Sephiroth I?d like more information please about customs declarations if moving to NI. Do you have any references?
