US Politics Thread

Impeach Ric! Ban his twitter! It's seditious propoganda from start to finish. There are blatant attempts to influence the outcome of otherwise democratic MOTM votes.

Furthermore, I suspect the Daily Mail are paying him to promote their articles. Dozens of them quoted on the time line. And the strapline is a DM quote as well! Very suss.

I am quite surprised that a light-hearted joke and short exchange between me and @Ric — really intended as a gentle reminder that this could be a better thread than previous ones, after reading through all of the current pages (and some related reports and already removed posts) and seeing some exchanges that were definitely headed toward the high toxicity variety — has lead to a bit of a ‘bash the janitors’ discussion.

But, hey, any way we can bring people together, I guess!

The whole thread just needs some puns thrown into the mix, Seb.

My daily rate is about twelve hundred quid, so you do the math. Need the money up front, though.

Bugger, I've only just saved up the £75 + parking and luncheon vouchers. I may have to rethink my entire strategy.

 

[DrBlueBob]

Is that all? I had you pegged at a much higher rate. So you’re basically a paralegal then?

Is that like Ironside?

Lovely, I had to Google furiously but got there in the end. Well met, Sir.

Geniuses, all of them — especially Palin and Cleese.

Alright guys, I know we lost the Senate, but can we all just be nice to each other now... please?

SPINELESS C*NT'S!!!

Yeah great track.
Unbelievable that I’m listening to it now and it could literally describe what’s happening this week.

Depressingly 50 years on since it was made and the US is still there.

How far ahead of his time was this guy?

I read this, I see the desperate tweets from feckless cult-enabling GOP members who realize — finally — that they’ve created a monster, that they tried to subvert democracy by refusing to recognize the result of a legitimate election, and they’re going to get called on the carpet for it, and one particular movie scene comes to mind . . .

I really hope they get what they deserve, but I just get a niggling feeling there is going to be some shady backroom deal the the Dem's get suckered into making because Republican's 'promise it'll never happen again' 'We're really sorry' Please don't....' .

F*cking sickens me.

Oh well...
