US Politics - Trump cancels summit having to do with North Korea

Not that Labour has grasped this, but it's why being in opposition should be a doddle. It's easy to sit there and run through everything that has or is going wrong. In many cases Trump hasn't stopped. Everything's a disaster. A mess. Just terrible. It's the same with The Conservatives when they inherited the government from Labour, and then again from the coalition. But there comes a point when it stops being someone else's disaster and it becomes yours.

Farage is a special case though, because he doesn't have to take responsibility for anything. He can perpetually stand there slagging off all and sundry while never being in any position of actual power (even though it continually seems like he is as we see so much of the bloke).

The difference is Farage can actually look slightly human by being in a pub and drinking a pint without looking like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world. I can't imagine Trump doing so without the pub being inside an exclusion zone and all the staff having to go through 3 months of background checks.

Trump doesn't drink so he would just be sat in the pub nursing half a coke while Nigel downs pint after pint of real ale.

There's a great idea for a sitcom there.

He'd probably order a drink anyway just to have a go at groping the barmaid.

To be fair to him, Trump has achieved one remarkable political turnaround: he's managed to make us fondly nostalgic for the old days of George W. Bush.

They'd love it though, no immigrants and it's very white up there.

Who is there to discriminate against though? The machine from Wallace and Gromit's big day out?

20 YEARS?! Crikey, that is not a proportionate punishment.

edit: correction, 13 years in prison.

Still quite a lot considering no-one was actually injured.

It's 20 years (13 in Prison) and 13 (6 in Prison)

three counts of aggravated assault, one count of making terroristic threats and one count of violating of Georgia's Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.

The drivers parked the trucks near the house, prosecutors said. Torres was part of a smaller group that "threatened to kill the party goers [Hexx Note: ~8 Year old Kids] while repeatedly using derogatory racial slurs against them," said the statemen

"Torres, who had retrieved a shotgun from his vehicle, pointed his shotgun at the group of African American party-goers and stated he was going to kill them while his co-defendants stated that 'the little ones can get one too,' referring to the young children at the party," the statement said

Then there's the fact that (based on that and a couple of other articles) he's shown little remorse (she has), blamed the kids for threatening them as reasons for getting weapons etc


The most surprising thing to me was that "banishment" is actually a thing a court can impose

This banana split is claiming that "the left" have got their knickers in a twist over Kellyanne Conway sitting with her feet on an Oval Office couch.

I really doubt they are but it definitely is weird that she is sitting like that in an official building. I still rather think this PJW bloke is just being a banana split.

Not clicking Infowars - but is there actually any leftists outraged by this?

I am sure some people have said she is being disrespectful etc but I highly doubt anybody was "triggered".
