US Politics

trump seems to have child like feet too.

They ARE small, not that you mention it.

Trudeau's handshake was an absolute masterclass in diplomacy - he dominates the moment, and simultaneously makes it obvious that he is not going to be drawn in to trump's absurd handshake game. At the same time, he doesn't completely embarrass trump and make him look like a complete cunt.

This is embarrassing for everyone involved.

The best thing to do would be to use a fake hand, and allow Trump to pull it off when he goes for the Dominator. Maybe with some streamers on the up-sleeve end.

lol

We've got a year according to the Prof, perhaps less

He never discussed sanctions but couldn't be 100% sure? OFFS

He could check the tape to jog his memory?

Today's euphemism for outright lies, courtesy of Mike Flynn, is 'incomplete information':

Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the vice-president-elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian ambassador.

I have sincerely apologized to the president and the vice president, and they have accepted my apology.

What's next?

New truths
Extra-controvertible proofs

I hear that Baron Trump is first pick replacement for Flynn.

alt-truths
Negotiable actualities
Pick-your-own facts
Lie-lets
Little (snowflake) white (power) lies

This is a very good idea

Pot, kettle, black.

The issue with reasoned debate is unfortunately everywhere atm, Trump demonizes Muslims, others demonize people speaking up against religious inspired sexism with "islamophobia claims" and put reasonable people on an extremist watchlist, but who started this shit?

Trump. Sexism, disablism, walls...
Again don't call him Hitler, keep the high ground, don't use Twitter cos it's useless for reasonable debates, don't be a dick, be very precise in what the problem is, don't call names, don't fly off the handle and go fire people for malformed remarks right away, don't abuse terms like fascist/nazi/racist (and yeah I am guilty of that too, I called May something not quite nice on a thread here...)

But sometimes it's like the school bullies are in power, and they now strongly object to people calling them the wrong names. No, you have to call us the exact type of school bully, or we are offended. No, we are not as bad as that school bully, you offend us.

I mean, come on...

Quite apart from irrelevant distractions like handshakes:

So Keith Kellogg seems at first re-assuringly dull compared to Flynn.
But then again, he has been a company man in the military-industrial complex since 2004, an industry that is not past the odd bribe to land a contract.
So which foreign power has tucked away a bit of 'kompromat' on Kellogg?

I wonder if he's related to the cerial guy.

Dave Frosties?

captain crunch?
