45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. Vol 2

Thanks.

I'd agree his conversations may not have been appropriate, but doubt they'd have been a major issue had he not 'forgotten' then and failed to mention them when asked.
The immunity request is an odd one - whether he's being used to test the waters so they know if bigger fish might get immunity too is a thought which occurred to me earlier today.

Trump can grant a pardon and if he can convince his supporters that Flynn is being hounded by vengeful democrats, maybe this gives him reason to do so after the event.

I agree with eventually, but how long did Bernie Madoff manage to walk on water before he was sunk.

Trump's under far greater scrutiny. It's hard to see him sticking out a full term. But he will need a genius exit strategy; I don't think Bannon's too bothered about what happens to Trump after he's done with him.

I disagree. Eventually people do wake up.

Charlatans and fraudsters can operate for a long time - but they can't operate forever.

I agree with eventually, but how long did Bernie Madoff manage to walk on water before he was sunk.

As long as he could until the edifice collapsed - as it invariably does.

However, I wasn't offering any time scale for charlatans and fraudsters to be able top keep perpetrating their frauds. However, they always come unstuck at some point.

It's the exposure that causes them to become unstuck.

Nixon lied and lied until he couldn't keep up the pretence any longer. He was forced to resign.

By rights, he should have gone to jail too - so his "comeuppance" wasn't as drastic as it might have been. But he did leave office in disgrace - which is what I fully expect to happen to Trump.

Full on insults now.

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

You're making his point fairly well there for him. It's not crossed your mind for a second that he's being serious, and that it's a fitting description of you, because you're so convinced that you're so much more intelligent than that. It's not an insult, it's a piece of commentary based on how you present yourself here.

It would be no fun if you (and he) weren't serious.

Now, back to trying to determine if I am a Putinbot in direct contact with Dark Lord Bannon and Agent Stein.

That may be your fantasy.

I don't think they'd take you any more seriously than we do.

Your actions betray you. I have lost track of how many times you have responded to me. And who can forget the classic quote: "unipolar theory is anti-Western"

Responding to you does not equate to taking you seriously. That is not really possible, given your 9/11 and Sandy Hook gibberings.

The idea that a unipolar world is less desirable than what we had before is anti-Western, but that is not for this thread.

The great cup of neo-conservative and neo-liberal tears runneth over.

Now that is cringe-worthy. Ride the Lightning is still pretty epic though.

Coldplay are fking pish.

yadda, yadda. you dirty hipster, I'm-too-cool-for-mainstream signaller!!!

This is very off-topic, but they were good for the first three albums and have been mostly annoying since then.

Ya, pretty much it. When driving around in the shabby, non-MP3 boxxob-mobiles, the current boxxob companion and I have enjoyed refinding and playing their old CDs.

In my defense I also listen to Action Bronson, Lupe Fiasco, Beastie Boys etc etc.
I am of an age now where I don't care what I like and don't like, my kids are into Little Mix and I wish I was in Little Mix even the fat one.

A great article from...the FT (whatever next!) on the USA and driverless trucks.

I have previously posted 2022 as the stated introduction of mass market fully autonomous cars from the likes of Nissan however, it appears that fully autonomous trucks may appear on USA inter-state roads much earlier than that.

I could type lots in reply to this but instead I will simply throw you to the PH forum Wolves by re-quoting you and be done with it lol

Spicer is now saying Mrs C was at it with the Russians a lot worse than Trump . He only did a patent there, she tried to sell the US to them or something.

I remember seeing similar stuff.

I can also remember seeing an article on the coming automation of white collar work, namely human resources. The automation of work is definitely not limited to manufacturing.

Probably a whip around to pay his university fine then. 25million signed off by a judge yesterday.

I see he walked out of an EO signing with the press, without signing the EOs, because a reporter asked him about Flynn.

He's pathetic.

[jmorgan]

Heck and bells. Just reading through son in laws income report. Absolutely no chance that they will ever be tempted to be biased.

Nope.


Never.

Then read Bannons. Quite short in comparison.

A lovely bit of wordplay, especially as (I understand) English is not tm10's first language.

Thank you.
It was in honor of the "Everyone is so offended" thread also.
They are great though, I find myself quite mesmerised watching the music videos my kids put on of Little Mix.

My daughter took me to a free Mix concert at the O2 run by 'The Sun' newspaper. Free alcoholic bar for the parents (no restrictions).

Not being aware of this beforehand, I drove the kids there.

One of the most epic Fail's of my recent life.

I can also confirm that Mix wear near next to no clothing whilst onstage. I was offended and outraged at this discovery.
