The Politics Thread

Who wants to tell Lincoln, JFK, McKinley and Garfield that they need to stop whining about that piffling matter of being murdered?

 

Is that really National Rifle Association TV???

 

This thread is developing a cat theme

 

HOW DICTATORS RISE.

Question: How does a dimwit elevate to a position of supreme power?
Read the following. "Relying on intuition more than on reason,he was able to sway and manipulatehuge crowds. Along with his fits of demonic temper and his bursts of hysteria,he had remarkable political instincts,especially in detecting and exploiting the fears and weaknesses of his adversaries. How much of....charisma was genius,how much madness? The question will be argued for generations and perhaps centuries to come,not only by historians but by psychopathologists".

Does this sound familiar,President Donald Trump?
This quote is a description of Adolf Hitler from a book entitled "Illustrated History of World War 2 by Readers Digest 1969.

As Putin states that Trump should be respected, he claims ownership of a 'genuine' Renoir, despite the original having hung in the Art Institute of Chicago for 80 years!!

'Respect' as the most deluded and mendacious politician in living memory. That's quite an accolade, against all the competition he would have faced!

 

In a world of Trump, Putin, Kim & Brexit', it takes something quite extraordinary to shock. This however.....

Mugabe named as goodwill ambassador by WHO - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-41702662

 

Unreal!...

The vile old tyrant has been more responsible for destroying not only the health of his people, but the entire country.

What used to be The Garden of Africa is now a wasteland.

 

Trumps's super rich.
It pretty much trumps (if you'll excuse the pun) any other influence in U.S society.

 

Rich, but in the big scheme of things, not THAT rich.....

Good to see his finances are heading South (to Mexico perhaps). Hope his political career follows the same path - just faster!

Hmmm... wonder what the Bill & Melinda Gates and Rockefeller Foundations will have to say on the subject.

 

That's West Ham Olympic and not the World Health Organisation, right?

 

After allegations of sexual misconduct by Rupert Myers, the former head of the Bermondsey & Old Southwark Conservative Association who has written for (among others) the Mail, Telegraph, Spectator and Conservative Home, how do you think Breitbart have reported the story?

By trying to paint him as a far-left Corbyn supporter, of course!

 

This Rupert Myers?

Deputy Chairman of the Bermondsey & Old Southwark Conservative Association, Rupert Myers?
Associate fellow of Bright Blue (until these accusations), a Conservative think-tank, Rupert Myers?

 

Their moronic readership is eating it up, of course...

One of these people is lying. Can we guess which one it is?

 

WHO cancels Robert Mugabe goodwill ambassador role - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-41713919

Common sense has seemingly for once prevailed.....
Raises the serious question of the suitability of the new head of the WHO, if he can have ever considered this to be an appropriate appointment.

 

Tedros Adhanom? I'd question if he even exists, given that incredibly made-up sounding name!
"My name's.... Ted...ros. Yeah, that's it occifer. Tedros... Adhamonamandnam. Adhanom? Yep, that's right. That's what I said.

 

Huckabee and Trump remind me of Punch and Judy......just a matter of time before Punch starts whacking her......
