The US Hamster Wheel

[Undried Plum]

Have another go.

President Trump's world-wide diplomacy has been so successful.

You bastard!

You made me spray my shirt-front with a nasal twin-jet of Amontillado!

[BenThere]

Thanks, Plum! You've made this a successful day for me.

Ben - it is you demanding sycophancy. Got a mirror?

"Senior diplomats should know better than to go where the current UK ambassador to the US did"

Explain?

This was me advocating sycophancy? ie obsequious behaviour towards someone important in order to gain advantage'.

"I take it, then, Ben that you expect your Ambassador to China to brief the Chump on what a wonderful government exists in China, how all their policies are 'joined up' and fair and logical and what an outstanding chap and a pleasant man Xi is?

No, I didn't think so. Have another go."

Must not upset the Chump, must we, or he'll have a twatter tantrum? He actually got "truth and competence" through the leaking. Shame we never got you that dictionary.

I remember Kim Darroch from the 1970s. He was an arrogant pompous prick then and I doubt that he's improved with age since. It'll be a tough job for the Rozzers to figure out which of scores of people whom he thought were on 'his' side took the opportunity to bugger up his career and get rid of him.

Channelling it through Integrity Initiative is obviously an 'in' joke within FCO though. There will be guffaws down at Foggy Bottom too, I would think.

That having been said, his assessment of Chump and the clots around him, as selectively quoted in the MoS article, is pretty much bang on.

I pissed meself laughing imagining you doing that!

That's a reddy-brown sherry isn't it? Must've made a hell of a stain on your singlet.

A common trait of all the anti-Trump posts is that there is seldom any specific action he has taken pointed out, usually projection of what posters think he thinks and imagine he would do. The reality is that he has achieved much in the face of incredible opposition to his administration. I continue to think he is an outstanding president.

Trump really is appalling.

Trump attacks American parliamentarians

[Boac]

I wonder if he thinks Melanie should 'go home'?

[BenThere]

No, because she doesn't disparage the US or her opponents by continually playing the 'Racist' card, is proud of her US citizenship, which she obtained legally. Having wildly succeeded as a model before she ever met Donald Trump, she is just the type of person President Trump wants to see come to the US.

From that article:

He claimed the women "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe", before suggesting they "go back".

The answer for the three who were born in the US is surely to tell him that he is correct, that they are in their country of origin and that the government is indeed a complete and total catastrophe and they're telling him how to fix it.

"He claimed the women "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe", before suggesting they "go back".

I do believe the point he was trying to make, and which most people who are not completely biased take from the statement, is correct. The governments of the place of origin of the ethnicities of the people mentioned are in fact "Total catastrophe's"

"He claimed the women "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe", before suggesting they "go back".

That was my take on it. 'Course in Canada the Minister of Immigration is from some shithole over there. Some have the effrontery to call him ' The Honourable Member from Mogadishu.'

Pure example of 'racist'.

Pure example of 'racist'

What a well thought out reply, I would have thought it was more a statement of fact.

What I do consider as racist, is a whole bevy of racists forever claiming "white supremacy" and then having the effrontery to be claiming the moral high ground.

One can't boot out Ocasio Cortex because (unfortunately) she was born in America. Put her back on the rooftop or waitressing. As for the other 3 bitches the sooner they're booted the better.

All 4 are clearly anti-US and by default have no place being in any form of US govt. Had not the US set foot in Somalia that nasty bloody Omar creep would've otherwise been a death statistic in the then tribal wars. But who could tell the future back then?

Despite all that I primarily blame the cretins who voted for those pieces of sh!t to begin with.

[Boac]

Luckily the rest of the world, and the current and future UK PM have condemned this totally and ill-founded racist remark. 3 of the 4 are said to be US citizens, born in the US. To which country do they 'return'?

The US is possibly now heading for race riots, incited by the Chump.

Isn't Herr Drumpff of immigrant stock?

What, exactly, is so unAmerican about being an immigrant or progeny of immigrants anyway?
