I hear Uncle Bitters coached the ex Porn Star on the salacious details she presented in her evidence today.

I think Stormy got the two mixed up when she said she couldn't feel a thing

When you look at the corrupt [censored] up that is American politics, we should never ever complain about the Westminster system.

I thought you may have been around in 75   Uncle.

I guess a mishap every 100 odd years isn't too bad.

I suppose it's pretty good.

Plus Australians don't have the same level of hatred some Yanks have towards Government.

We've never really had a civil war. Maybe some miners complaining about fees but nothing serious enough that brother turns on brother.

I think it’s fantastic and actual justice that Trump being put through it. The guy had an extramarital affair 4 month after the birth of his youngest son, and did some ILLEGAL things to cover it up when it broke after the Hollywood sex tapes dropped on his campaign in the lead up to the 2016 Presidential election. Not trivial. Political yes, he used devious and ILLEGAL means to catch and kill true stories about him being made public to deceive the US electors.

such schaudenfreud…

loving it. 
 

the guy is a creep and wannabe fascist.

Rumour is he’s a massive Pies fan too… 😉

Quite so dc , however, I believe (perhaps naively) that our system/politics  does not embrace anything like the level of corruption that appears endemic to the septic tank system.

ex Porn Star, to speak about salacious details

It may be political at times and others legal but one thing is for sure Mr R. Leg....

USA politics is back to being juicy again.

Just like the old days with Clinton and Monica 😁

I recall the Democrats, in response to the President having oral sex with a young intern, in the ante room to the Oval Office no less, saying nothing to see here, no problem at all.

Yet when an adult Porn star has sex with a businessman, in a hotel room, 10 years before he becomes President, but of course is a Republican, wow the Democrats are horrified and blow a gasket.

Yes USA politics are back to being juicy again.

BTW does President Biden know what day it is today?

The Donald and Sleepy Joe provide us all with Moral guidance.

Two fine upstanding Americans doing their best to guide the country in Truth and Light.

I’m shocked at some of the scurrilous accusations being made.

These are good , honest , clean living men.

Especially if you’ve ever visited The Manor in Romsey.

The Dems didn't blow a gasket about the having sex with Stormy Daniels 10 years prior to 2016 election. They object to Trump ILLEGALLY breaching campaign finance laws to cover it up...

Id have thought with your legal mind you'd be aware of this Red..?

 

Highly recommend Steven Colbert's - evening monologue for the latest crazy from the US political scene...

allegedly  ...  the democratic voting judge (or jury) is yet to make a decision

of course, it will immediately be appealed either way

anything to keep the trumpster away from campaigning

it would all be so funny if it wasn't real

You must be having a laugh. How could Biden not know what day it was?

He may have some cognitive decline but he's eighty. Trump has it too as we've seen.

But to suggest he doesn't know what day it was is pretty extreme.

I mean unless you were his personal physician you wouldn't be able to make that call.

That trope is as political as anything else out there.

Maybe your right and Biden is mentally unfit for office. I mean he's bloody old when I consider what he has to do . But so is trump so I think we should rule them both out on age alone.

The big takeaway for me is Trumps sheer and blatant LIES about the election being stolen.

Trump has thousands upon thousands of times said the election was rigged.

And yet not once has he or his dubious subordinates have been able to present a scintilla of evidence to support this claim.

Your an educated and smart guy from what I can deduce from your posts. Don't you agree that's it's a lie. A big one told over and over. Lie Hitlers playbook....to just keep telling the lie.

I mean even before he won the 2016 election against Clinton he was on record numerous times saying without it evening happening yet that the election would be rigged.

Surprisingly he won this election 2016 that he called rigged. Again before the event took place. So no surprise for him to say the same in 2020.

Despite him tweeting again again the stolen claim it doesn't change the truth and facts.

Now one could argue that's just Trump being political.

But there was a price to pay for that lie. Thousands of drool ready believers of trump with just his say so marched on the Capitol. Law officers died as a result. People chanted for the Vice President to be hung while members of the house on both sides cowered on the basement.

Now aside from the deaths of law enforcement from just doing their jobs, one of the greatest democratic states died that day.

For centuries other than Lincolns assisnation, the USA has been a beacon of peaceful elections and relatively smooth transitions of power/ governments.

Until DJT lied about results before he was elected and than lied about them when he lost.

So one man's pride and ego cost not only the lives of people but mortgaged a great democracy of the ages forever.

Biden may or may not be fit for office. I get that. 

But Trump is excluded on a much bigger basis.

He is literally guilty of black and white.... Treason .

In the height of the cold war in the USA a husband and wife were sentenced to death row for giving the Soviets info about the USA atomic program.

Trumps crimes are on par with such behavior. It's not a question if he's fit for anything it's a matter of him needing to be imprisoned/executed for destroying the America's political system, the faith in it, the lives lost and the esteem the USA has lost around the world.

 

Okay, I suggest it is time to call a break.

This thread is filed under 'Comedy' and US politics is filed under 'Horror'.

It would be a tragedy to derail the derail thread.

To you and RaulRB, I am neither a Democrat nor Republican supporter and told friends many times, that I didn't know who was worse, Biden or Trump.

Tbh I have learned over the years that political arguments rarely have winners.

I made the mistake of posting on the matter and I will end my involvement here, as this thread is far better and hopefully more entertaining than the way it is starting to head.

I am off to the Manor, to join Uncle Bitters in some of his delicious latest wine cask, "chateau moat circa 2024".

Do you want me to pick you up on the way to Uncle Bitters' Manor, to enjoy his wine cask?

We could have some fun feeding some of the Manor rats to the piranha in the moat.

Then we can watch the Dees belt the Blues on the old black and white 26" tele in the lounge.
