"PC has taken over" Do you actually mean "white people are now expected to treat women & ethnic minorities as human beings"? How shocking.
Just my personal view, discrimination and equality is wrong but do you not think people are taking offence over every little thing. I will stand by what i feel in that i like banter and you can tell when someone is being intentionally a bully/racist and when you are having a laugh with your friends. Maybe i'm too old school where things like mums complaining that toys are advertised for boys (yes i know girls might feel marginalised, i actually think this is not wrong. the company is marketing to the person most likely to buy it. That doesn't mean girls can't buy and play with it, my niece loves star wars, lightsabres etc but it should be the parent that educates the child to be themselves rather than complaining over it). Half of the stuff said on this board, if some keyboard social warrior saw what we wrote would have this place shut down straight away. also what you wrote there is a bit of a hyperbole? When have ethnic minorities or women recently not been treated like human beings? You just have to look at the vile creature Katie Hopkins taking centre stage for the daily mail
*Trump's first day at the Oval Office after being elected President.* First briefing by the CIA, Pentagon, FBI: Trump: We must destroy ISIS immediately. No delays. CIA: We cannot do that, sir. We created them along with Turkey, Saudi, Qatar and others. Trump: The Democrats created them. CIA: We created ISIS, sir. You need them or else you would lose funding from the natural gas lobby. Trump: Stop funding Pakistan. Let India deal with them. CIA: We can't do that. Trump: Why is that? CIA: India will cut Balochistan out of Pak. Trump: I don't care. CIA: India will have peace in Kashmir. They will stop buying our weapons. They will become a superpower. We have to fund Pakistan to keep India busy in Kashmir. Trump: But you have to destroy the Taliban. CIA: Sir, we can't do that. We created the Taliban to keep Russia in check during the 80s. Now they are keeping Pakistan busy and away from their nukes. Trump: We have to destroy terror sponsoring regimes in the Middle East. Let us start with the Saudis. Pentagon: Sir, we can't do that. We created those regimes because we wanted their oil. We can't have democracy there, otherwise their people will get that oil - and we cannot let their people own it. Trump: Then, let us invade Iran. Pentagon: We cannot do that either, sir. Trump: Why not? CIA: We are talking to them, sir. Trump: What? Why? CIA: We want our Stealth Drones back. If we attack them, Russia will obliterate us as they did to our buddy ISIS in Syria. Besides we need Iran to keep Israel in check. Trump: Then let us invade Iraq again. CIA: Sir, our friends (ISIS) are already occupying 1/3rd of Iraq. Trump: Why not the whole of Iraq? CIA: We need the Shi'ite govt of Iraq to keep ISIS in check. Trump: I am banning Muslims from entering US. FBI: We can't do that. Trump: Why not? FBI: Then our own population will become fearless. Trump: I am deporting all illegal immigrants to south of the border. Border patrol: You can't do that, sir. Trump: Why not? Border patrol: If they're gone, who will build the wall? Trump: I am banning H1B visas. USCIS: You cannot do that. Trump: Why? Chief of Staff: If you do so, we'll have to outsource White House operations to Bangalore. Which is in India. Trump (sweating profusely by now): What the hell should I do as President??? CIA: Enjoy the White House, sir! We will take care of the rest!
I get the feeling come Feb it wont be last of the Obama's. Michelle Obama strikes me as someone who could stroll through an election and into the Oval office. Wonder once his career is finished, if she'll take her turn and run for office.
Milk's already said she has no interest in running but I agree with you that she would be popular. Oprah's been asked many times and there is someone who would be popular, she too has no interest. One thing's for certain, Hillary has shattered the glass ceiling.
An airplane was about to crash. There were 4 passengers on board, but only 3 parachutes. The 1st passenger said, "I am Steph Curry, the best NBA basketball player. The Warriors and my millions of fans need me, and I can't afford to die." So he took the 1st pack and left the plane. The 2nd passenger, Donald Trump, said, "I am the newly-elected U.S. President, and I am the smartest President in American history, so my people don't want me to die." He took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane. The 3rd passenger, the Pope, said to the 4th passenger, a 10 year old schoolboy, "My son, I am old and don't have many years left, you have more years ahead so I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute." The little boy said, "That's okay, Your Holiness, there's a parachute left for you. America 's smartest President took my schoolbag." please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
Positive noises from Trump about trade with the U.K. and has invited May to visit him as soon as possible. He's said the UK is a very, very special place for him and his country and he wants to strengthen trade and the special relationship between the two countries. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37941737 Told you all he has British heritage and a silver lining could be the way we are treated post brexit to how we might have been otherwise. No back of the queue for us under Trump.
He'll demand we make Trumpton the new capital with Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub running the nation.
Trump will make deals that benefit Trump. It won't be because of his heritage and our 'special relationship'.
