No, no, no you’ve got this all wrong. Fetuses are sacred and should be entitled to every protection the government can provide. It’s when they become full-fledged humans that they should be thought of as lecherous little shits who should be ripped from the federal tit.

Makes huge deal out of Clinton's illegally obtained email.

Loses shit when their own emails are legally obtained.

That statement from Mueller has a sting in the tail

Rejoice! Climate change is not a threat any more.

He is really a massive cunt isn't he? I mean a total and utter cunt. What a fucking cunt that cunt is.

Who? Trump? A bit.

But try to empathise.

Could you be absolutely sure you’d be any different if you’d had the upbringing he’s had?

It’s very easy for us to criticise from our position of white male priviledge.

Walk a mile in his shoes before you call him a cunt. And not just as a way to get free tiny shoes.

Are you serious?

Sympathy for trump based on his upbringing. That is truly a new one on me.

I hear Hitler's uncle was a bit shouty.

Oh. Just read the "white male privilege" bit.

Ha. Ha.

I also forgot to factor in your sense of humour.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

I am funny.

But I do reckon Trump is Trump because of major Dad issues.

I think I could cuddle him better. Like that bit in Bladerunner:

‘It’s not yr fault’

‘I no’

‘No, it’s not yr fault’

‘I no’

Etc

^ I don’t get the reference. Is it a book?

The whole point of clever references is to alienate and belittle those who don’t recognise them. So I’m not telling.

In other news... What would be Donald's first reaction to a major train crash in the US:
1) extend sympathy to the victims
2) thank/praise the emergency services
3) use it to push/announce a policy decision before thinking about 1 and 2

WAFC

This was a section of track opened to traffic on it's first day today “after weeks of inspection and testing” so Trump as usual gets it wrong

This can't end well.

I get it. It's Matt Damon. The Jason Bourne Supremacy Identity Ultimatum. 'Look what they make you give. Time to die.' Classic.

Yep this is fine

Will the republicans put Trump out of his misery now?

I will be amazed if they dont turn on him before the end of January. they all have elections to win in 2018.

He will split the voter base by forming his own party if they try anything. The GOP is really up shit creek. Trump owns them

Basically, barring any major scandals, which obviously will inevitably happen, its really the democrats race to throw away, especially if Trump doesn't back down.

I genuinely believe he is trying to set up a political dynasty and within 10 years we will see Ivanka run for president.

its really the democrats race to throw away

It looks as if Bernie will give it another shot.

The DNC are a mess though, currently failing to account for $1 billion that went to five consultants during the Hilary campaign.
