Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

I thought I would stick this here. It’s the effect of Trump’s tariffs on UK-USA trade. Basically, not good.

The White House has been criticised for comparing Trump to a monarch, although lot of Americans do call him ‘King Trump’, just usually with a ‘fuh’ in front of it

Illhan Omar married her brother which is illegal, and ticked the wrong box and got her wealth wrong, her whole lift is a scam,

said Donald who once described his daughter as a nice piece of ass, who he’d like to date if she wasnt his daughter! As for the wealth, wasnt Donald charged with faking his wealth with making false claims about his wealth to obtain lower interest rates on loans?

the man has no shame and is a national embarrassment!

They had one job. Not that I’m a fan of that flag either but they literally had one job.

That said I learned something today. An upside down flag is a sign of being in distress.

Maybe they got it right after all?

Trump looks like he has Benjamin Button disease from the neck down, and why is Robert DeNiro in the pool with him?

Trump had another late night meltdown on social media last night and posted this:

11:03 PM - AI photo of him, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and more swimming shirtless in the reflecting pool in DC (I’m serious)
11:04 PM - Photo of Melania creepily smiling after the WHCD shooting
11:13 PM - Calls Hakeem Jeffries “low IQ” and a “thug”
11:15 PM - Meme saying he has “all the cards” (which he does not)
11:22 PM - A gold outline of his face
11:26 PM - His face on Mount Rushmore
11:32 PM - Photo of him and Melania
11:37 PM - Photo of him and King Charles
11:40 PM - Photo of the reflecting pool under Obama vs his proposal
11:41 PM - Another photo of the reflecting pool
11:45 PM - Yet another photo of the reflecting pool

All of this took place in under an hour. This man is not well.

Why,oh,why does he have to persist in showing the world that everyone and their dog know by now…..the lights are on ?? But there is no one home.

At least it’s the right flag this time.

There is a Finish guy (I think he is a local politician, but I am not sure) on Twitter who got turned down by a Ukrainian refugee he wanted to marry and he is now more Pro Putin than most Russians.
Freeze them all to death is one of his favorite things to say.

Sounds like the Ukrainian girl had a lucky escape.

This is likely a dumb dumb observation but I did not realize the Union Jack can upside down

It is a pretty small difference, nowhere near the worst and most obvious American flag fuck-up

Cue someone (likely former military) telling me that the flag isn’t even technically called the Union Jack

It’s a point of pride for pedants to point it out.

I can remember the European Cup final being at Hampden Park between Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid. All the pubs in the centre of Glasgow had Spanish and German flags outside, apart from one that cocked up and put a Belgian flag up instead.

My recent favourite was the local pub festooned with Cote d’Ivoire flags for St. Patrick’s Day

Ah now, Paddy’s day is pretty global so tis, and they do love a drop of Guinness or tree there now, to be sure.

The ‘wide’ white band of the St Andrews cross should be top not the narrow white bitty.
It’s a bit pedantic but quite common knowledge for boy scouts for example (at least in my day).
