The Politics Thread

I wish Boris Johnson would just leave politics alone and become a **** TV presenter.
He's too lazy to do anything properly and his bigotry is astounding, given his background.

 

He used to drive a Lambo, perhaps he could co present a motoring program with Clarkson. They could call it Reverse Gear.

 

They could drive black cabs around London and make extremely dubious comments about how everything's **** because of the minorities.
****s in Cabs? Twataxi?

 

Here's a clip of the white supremacist Jonathan Jennings being given airtime on an episode of Question Time late last year

Jennings received a 16-month jail sentence from Swansea crown court yesterday for hate speech and sending threatening messages, including...
* Calling for Muslims to be sterilised
* Called for Muslims to be gassed
* Called for Muslims to be burned on a bonfire
* Supported the idea of "Bomb a Mosque Day"
* Changed his Twitter handle to "Muslim Slayer" (anyone noticing a pattern here?)
* Threatened to "Jo Cox" Jeremy Corbyn if he ever became Prime Minister
* Called for Gina Miller to be executed as a "traitor"
* Called for JK Rowling to be hanged
* Stated that Hitler was born "100 years too soon"

Of course, on the off chance this does get coverage, don't expect to hear how a cursory look at his Facebook page shows that he's a follower of Tommy Robinson, Donald Trump, Jacob Rees-Mogg and LeaveDotEU - or how, according to eyewitnesses from that Question Time taping, the BBC sought him out to be in the audience and even gave him the VIP treatment in the studio, which he bragged about on his Gab account

...and for those about to ask, Gab is a social media network whose users include Milo Yiannopoulos, Alex Jones, Richard B Spencer and Britain First, all claiming to use the service because of "REEEEEEEdom of speech" and not because they got booted from other forms of social media due to repeated violations of their ToS, hence they all flocked to a service who doesn't have hate speech in their ToS.

 

Yeah, but we.need people like that so when any of us normal people think we are getting old and losing touch, we can look at him and feel reassured thst actually, we are fine anf there is nothing wrong with us.

 

Actually we don't, not where there's plenty of people who fit that description running the political establishment as it is

On that subject...

 

A 2 minute USA citizenship job? I wonder if they were on a waiting list?

 

There really does seem to be a Trump tweet criticising everything that he does. It's bizarre:

 

There's an entire subreddit devoted to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrumpCriticizesTrump/

 

Meanwhile, in The Spectator, somebody who beat up his pregnant girlfriend writes...

Nice eyes

 

Just when you think the level of political discourse is the lowest it has ever been, you find someone has managed to take it several steps lower.

The **** is this dense bint even trying to say?

And, on this side of the pond, we have...

It appears the first member of the Orange Overlord's team to face jail time will be...former Apprentice candidate Omarosa Manigault-Newman, for secretly taking a recording device with her when White House Chief of Staff John Kelly fired her, a recording she has since released to boost sales of her upcoming book - aaaaaaaaaaaaand it's a violation of several National Security protocols to do that, as carrying a recording device into a White House situation room and recording somebody without their knowledge or consent, something the NSA and Secret Service will no doubt be lining up to remind her about.

 

I suspect that she'll manage to avoid being charged by using other recordings as leverage, rather ironically.

 

Based on her time on The Apprentice, she'll respond to any accusations of doing a bad job or gross incompetence by trying to bring up how she worked for the POTUS as if that's a response that absolves her of any and all criticisms

 

Shame women have to dress like that,hidden away because an arab decided to start his own religion devoted to men first,camels second and women a poor third!

 

Steve West has won the Republican Party primary for Missouri, beating three other candidates and taking 49.5% of the vote.
His own party has disowned him though, as he's made a number of rather controversial comments, including the following:
“Looking back in history, unfortunately, Hitler was right about what was taking place in Germany. And who was behind it.”

At least he's not Corbyn though, eh?

 

I'd post a link to the latest Who Is America? clip, but I'm not sure if it's sexual content or not.
Sucking on a strap on to scare away terrorists is a thing, apparently...

 

Republican infighting is getting interesting:
