Of course, the biased press, still being biased

Have you ever considered the possibility that a good portion of the bias lies with you?

I remember when my son was young, we would get up on Saturday and watch cartoons together so my wife could sleep in. One of the cartoons we watched was called Adventures of the Gummi Bears. The Gummi Bears were the good guys, Duke Igthorn was the bad guy, and Toady was Duke Igthorn's idiot ass-kisser, hence the name. Seems like the bad guys always need idiot ass-kissers. You can learn a lot about life watching cartoons.

He'll look great in orange jumpsuit & shackles. I just hope his co-conspirators face trial too.

I wonder if the orange jumpsuits will clash with Trump's orange hair?

Probably. My new 4x5 is Chinese. But my Nikormat and Mamiya RB67 were made in Japan.

Weren't the Japanese the enemy not too long ago? Weren't all the Japanese Americans rounded up into camps, their livelihoods taken away from them?

And properties confiscated too, I believe. Did they ever get compensation for that?

Dictatorship? He'll be gone Jan 20th. You really need to calm down.

The fact that he is failing in his attempts is totally irrelevant to who he is and what his - lack of values - are.

If you haven't seen this yet, please watch it...

The techniques used by Trump are just incredible. And he is just being who he is and what he has been doing for 4 years.

Whether he is gone in 10 days is, again, irrelevant. The people, like you, who supported this guy are still there.

Cheers,
Bernard

Maybe you'd like to execute us so you don't have to democratically deal with the opposition.

Since this is a fairly tense moment, I think we all need a distraction, and so I will offer up this interview from the director of the latest Borat movie on what really happened in the hotel bedroom with Rudy Giuliani.

"So you didn’t buy the ‘I was just tucking in my shirt’ excuse?"

"You know, I’ve been doing this for a long time. I’ve seen a lot of people get microphones applied and removed. I’ve never seen anyone have to lie on a bed and put their hands down their pants."

‘Borat 2’ Director Reveals What Really Happened With Rudy Giuliani: ‘My Jaw Hit the Floor’

Of course, if you are not interested in the subject of Rudy Giuliani lying on a bed with his hand down his pants, that is perfectly understandable. It is probably a good thing Borat jumped out of the armoire when he did. If he hadn't, no telling what would have happened.

I don't follow. Do you think that the UK is at war with China?

Sick, but additional evidence of the victim mindset. Oh, and it's a strawman argument. Can't forget that.

He must not have read the article he linked to. It’s standard operating procedure for him.

A bit extreme perhaps, but it is a problem of how to deal with people who don't accept the results of a fair election.

Probably aimed at French fishing boats - anything more is a bit beyond our capablities.

Well, we had four years of experience of that with democrats and others who didn't accept Trump and used extra-legal means to get rid of him.

Your carrier is armed with our F35 stealth fighter/bombers. Those French sardine fishing boats don't stand a chance.

There have been several stories in the news that Trump is going to go to Scotland for a golfing vacation the day before the inauguration. I think it would be a good idea for him to go away somewhere, the farther away the better. Unfortunately, Scotland's First Minister put the kibosh on the idea.

"Amid suggestions that the US president is planning to travel to Scotland to play golf before Joe Biden’s inauguration on 20 January, Scotland's first minister said that in line with the latest coronavirus restrictions, Trump's trip would not be considered essential travel so he would not be permitted to enter Scotland."

Perhaps, if he travels on the 19th while still President, he might be able to obviate the restrictions.

French fishermen aren't dumb - they just blockade the harbour. Besides, we can't afford the bullets.

(apparently 15% of the F35 is built in Britain)
