Mate, it gets worse.
I just saw this. So my meme was sadly on point.

:joy:

I think this is a complete joke now. They’re really trying everything to make sure Trump finally gets his way and shuts up.

I thought she was going on paternity leave.

She will probably give birth to the child in the ballroom. :sweat_smile:

Nonetheless, how did he get from his hotel room to the magnetometer while carrying a rifle and no-one noticed? He was said to have a rifle, a pistol and some knives so presumably he had the rifle with him.

I’m wondering how many US scientists will be picked up by European institutions? It’s almost a mirror of the situation in the 1930s with European scientists moving to the US.

I sometime wonder if Charles has an opinion on the various world leaders he is ponied out to. Somehow Trump seems quite the antithesis of some of Charles’ values…

They’re now trying to blame him for the ā€œassassination attemptā€ and are demanding his dismissal. Who among them is actually coming up with all this nonsense? The fact that Melania is now being actively involved in all the complaints is also new.

But perhaps they are just using her to distract from him.

This is turning into a brutal time for young Canadian PhDs. American academics with associate professorships are applying for assistant professorships in Canada,it is a whole new pool of competition.

There’s something about this shot (taken from the BBC coverage) that tells a story - and its not quite a child in rags begging in the back streets of New York with a burning ambition to shake off his lowly brown tags…

Yup its of 2 couples, one who thinks its their right to be king by divine intervention from years ago, and the other is of man who thinks he is also the messiah chosen by divine right , and with a nice shot on the wall of his messianic picture on the wall of his encounter of a staged event to show that he is indeed a complete twat.

No part of this has been above board. Even for Trump the wild swings in what this project is about are noteworthy.

It was a ballroom that was needed for ball room related activities and was being paid for privately (not actually better than government funds but was at least the argument for not needing congressional approval and budget)

Then it was later revealed to have some sort of security component to it, but unrelated to the hosting of events, just separate bomb shelter type shit.

Then it became needed for security of the president at social events despite him frequently doing low security public events (because he doesnt actually work) and the event under focus being way too big to use the ballroom anyway even if it was going to host private events

Then it needed funds approved by congress.

Wild that according to this motion they are somehow now saying that it wont cost tax payers anything despite the parallel push for congressional funding

The free press is so embarassing.

The gap between what they say they are (and what I think many of them self identify as) as a straight down the middle ideology free zone vs what they actually are as reactionary status quo preserving conservatives is enormous.
