The Isolated Political Blurt Thread

[phrodeau]

This day, was very different, from other St.Patrick's Days, of years past.

Good gracious!
.

That's only the tip of the blarney.

"Top of the morning," said Vice President Mike Pence, as he hosted Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny at his residence for breakfast Thursday.

"Literally just shouted 'NOBODY SAYS THAT' at the TV," a journalist in Ireland tweeted. "I've literally only ever heard that said by Americans," another person said. "How do all the Irish people not just go, 'nope,' and leave the room?" tweeted another.

At the luncheon, Trump shared what he claimed was an "Irish proverb."

"As we stand together with our Irish friends, I'm reminded of an Irish proverb - and this is a good one, this is one I like, I've heard it for many, many years and I love it," Trump said. "Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue, but never forget to remember those that have stuck by you."

The proverb is apparently Nigerian.

The irony of the mishaps was that Trump has surrounded himself with Irish Americans, from presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway to press secretary Sean Spicer. Two of the leading Republicans involved in Thursday's cultural snafus - Pence and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis. - identify as Irish American.

Ryan introduced both Trump and Kenny at the luncheon, praising the United States' relationship with Ireland and lauding the nation for "all she has given us."

One of his statements caused a fair bit of head-scratching: "Americans, especially American Irish, are always try to endear ourselves to the Irish. Think about it. We went from a president who plays a lot of golf to a president who owns a lot of golf courses," Ryan said. "That is about the closest thing you can get to royalty in Ireland."

Trump, indeed, owns a golf course in Ireland, and has golfed in various courses at least nine times since taking office. And he recently played 18 holes with pro golfer Rory McIlroy, who is from Northern Ireland. But aside from that connection, some Irish people questioned the reference to royalty and golf, a sport that originated in Scotland.

But perhaps the most "appalling" moment of the day for some came as Ryan offered a toast, in honor of Ireland's visit.

While addressing the luncheon, Ryan suddenly pulled out a pre-poured pint of Guinness beer from under the podium.

"To what our forefathers have started and our children will continue, may the light always shine upon them. Sláinte."

The speaker may have used the correct word for the toast, but all Irish Guinness enthusiasts could focus on was that "despicable pint." Anyone who has lived in or traveled to Ireland knows the law of the land: a dark, Irish beer should always be topped with a creamy, white, thick foam.

One person tweeted she would be "ashamed" to be seen holding that pint.

After two months in office, Trump’s credibility gap has become a dangerous chasm. It threatens his administration and the nation he serves. He must learn to tell the truth.

By the way: Two of Trump’s wiretap tweets did not use quote marks.

He isn’t telling the truth about that, either.

"He stretched his credibility until it snapped."

(Coining a phrase, used in the Guardian (UK) newspaper.)

Trump went full Trumpenreich, in Kentucky.

*shiver*


remember, when the little Hitler Youth boy sang this song ?


The sun on the meadow is summery warm
The stag in the forest runs free
But gather together to greet the storm
Tomorrow belongs to me

The branch of the linden is leafy and green
The Rhine gives its gold to the sea
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen
Tomorrow belongs to me

The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee
But soon, says a whisper
"Arise, arise
Tomorrow belongs..."

"me!"

I should not try to digest my evening meal, while trying to digest Neil Gorsuch's replies.

It turns my stomach.


Arrogant, cold, heartless, deceptive, slimey, disingenuous, secretive, shifty, dishonest, bullshitting, liar.

Gorsuch is the arsehole exception that proves the rule. Judges can expected to be impartial and fair. Gorsuch waffles and twists, about the cruelty he exacts when he twists the law to hurt individual people.

Gorsuch's protests are ridiculous. About as absurd as the Trump presidency, cabinet, and administration.

Cold hearted snake, willing to sell out his fellow citizens, and his country.

acckkkkkl

Gorsuch is just so much smarter than the democrats trying to discredit him, including Al Franken....how the hell did he ever get elected?

Maybe, I should stay away from televisions, while I am in public. As soon as the evil twin of the poop emoji, (the one with a hairstyle constructed out of hay)shows up, I have an urge to instantly aim "the bird" at his face.

At the sight of any of his minions, I have a bluerrggghhhh reaction.

Some racist nutcase went full blown psycho, and " took a Bolt Bus from Baltimore, Maryland to NYC last Friday with the explicit intention of harming black men,..."

In the past, I worried about a punch in the face, and a broken nose. Worst case, concussion from getting knocked over. Keep my hands in my coat pockets, wear sunglasses, and eat hard candy?

*watching BBC America World News*

Conservatives are offered maternity option killed, breast cancer treatment option killed, and female reproductive system option killed, health coverage, in order to get Conservatives to agree to Trumpcare.


WTF??? Trumpcare will only let you have health care, if you can prove you are male?

No glorious lunchtime victory chat, today.

No photo op posing, today.

A Utah man celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary in London has died from his injuries following Wednesday’s terror attack, according to relatives and media reports.

Kurt Cochran, 54, died Thursday morning after he was hurt in the violent rampage that killed two other people.

He and his wife, Melissa, were on Westminster Bridge when a suspect plowed down multiple people before crashing into a gate and fatally stabbing a police officer outside of Parliament.


Khalid Masood: London attacker identified as 52-year-old from Kent

Scotland Yard said Masood had previous convictions for assaults, grievous bodily harm, possession of offensive weapons and public order offences.

His first conviction was in November 1983 for criminal damage and his last conviction was in December 2003 for possession of a knife. He had not been convicted of any terrorism offences, but police said he was known by a number of aliases.

Although Masood had never been a part of a terror plot himself, he had been associated in the past with suspected Islamist terrorists, security sources told The Independent.

The Enterprise rental car company said the vehicle used in the attack had been rented from its Spring Hill branch in Birmingham, which is located in the West Midlands.

"An employee identified the vehicle after seeing the licence plate in an image online. We ran another check to verify, and immediately contacted the authorities," said company spokesman John Davies.

Remember the alt- right psycho that traveled to New York to commit a racist act of terrorism ?

"Openly neo-Nazi channels Jackson subscribed to include Cybernazi, Politically Incorrect and Esoteric Truths. He also frequented many racist, anti-Semitic, white nationalist and anti-feminist channels. Jackson did not upload any videos onto his channel, but he did recently favorite racist videos..."

Yep.
Just another "loner."
Charged with terrorism.

A spokesperson for the Manhattan DA’s office said that Jackson is expected to be arraigned as early as Wednesday night.

http://gothamist.com

Adams is calling on Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance to upgrade Jackson's top charge to murder in the first degree, which encompasses acts of terrorism. One definition of terrorism, according to the penal code, is to "intimidate or coerce a civilian population." While the DA's office declined to comment on the request, Illuzzi-Orbon said Thursday that she plans to present additional charges to the Grand Jury, including, possibly, murder in the first degree.

This is not the first time the racist psycho tried to kill someone, because of his hatred for inter- racial dating.
