The thick plottens

There was no diplomatic immunity to waive. It makes you wonder who interfered and why.

Things may change now that Trump has gone

Something we don't know about going on here!

I think they are all as bent as each other, I don't think anything will change and I wouldn't extradite any one to the USA till its sorted.

I did say may

There’s always hope but it looks unlikely at the moment.

hope for what? justice?

what does that even mean in this country? Not much in the case of death due to bad or inept driving.

The USA almost never extradites its citizens. and what will any bad actions from UK 'officialdom' garner? someone might resign and then get a better paid job outside of government. (if they actually find someone to blame.) meanwhile a young lad is ashes and dust. and a family bereft.

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

One of my friends parents were both killed crossing on a pedestrian crossing by a driver who was looking at their phone not the road, the driver walked away from court (due to incredible ineptitude) without even points on their licence which was impossible to believe at the time but thats what happened.

So I’d say no in reality there’s not a lot of hope.

The desperation of the parents that this person should at least come back and face up to what they’ve done is so palpable it does make you hope, even when in reality there’s little to none and I suppose that’s one of the ways we use the word hope, hope when there’s none because of what we want to happen rather than what is happening. There’s always hope often really means exactly the opposite.

Just hope the c*"t gets her Karma sooner rather than later .

Perhaps Boris will make this awkward situation disappear by arranging for the parents to be bumped off in exchange for a trade deal. He's looking desperate enough...

Tommy Vietor’s “Shapeshifting creep” is too stupid to recognise when he should be desperate.

My dogs better at recognising when it’s time to slink off.

Yup - that was a great description of Johnson, wasn't it?

I have to say I couldn't be happier with how the US election has turned out. I was afraid that Trump might have been completely thrashed by a red-hot opponent, and would have had no option but to shuffle off stage and never be heard from again. But he's been beaten by a senile old duffer, and by a small enough margin that he thinks there's mileage in contesting it. And that press conference that was supposed to be in the Four Seasons Hotel that they accidentally booked at a garden centre next to a dildo store was comedy gold!

[Guest]

I hadn't heard about that press conference somehow. Absolutely brilliant, I wouldn't have believed it if I read it in a work of fiction. 'lets make America rake again'

You couldn't make it up. Giuliani took the circus the the Four Seasons, errr... landscaping company (instead of the hotel) by mistake. The adjacent dildo store was just a hilarious bonus

What is it with the Americans and senile presidents? Senility must be on the selection criteria.

Do you have absent moments when you may forget where you are, what you’re saying or doing? Yes? If more than 5 episodes a day please proceed to question two.

Do you have any shady business dealings or dubious associations with large financial corporations? Yes? Excellent please proceed to question three.

Do you have any firm beliefs either political or moral? Yes? Thankyou for your application we’re sorry to inform you you have been unsuccessful on this occasion please try again at a later date.. a much later more infirm date, while you can still walk and talk (just) but after you’ve lost all power of reason.

Oh yeh and don’t forget the latest superb addition of Trump setting up a gofundme page called ‘Election Defence Fund’

I have not made this up!

“President Trump needs YOU to step up to make sure we have the resources to protect the integrity of the election!”

“Please contribute ANY AMOUNT IMMEDIATELY to the Official Election Defense Fund and to increase your impact by 1,000%!”

I kid you not and in the small print 50% will go to the election defence fund the other 50% to Trump to pay off his general election campaign debt. It also takes you straight to a recurring payment page to make it difficult to just make a one off payment.

They must be arguing over the film rights as we speak, although it might be too fantastical for film- Warning viewers may find some scenes upsetting. The events you are about see are all fact checked as true.

he's indescribably vile. As an aside, I've just asked for my account at The Triumph Forum to be deleted as a consequence of the rabid support for him over there. It sickened me so much I couldn't participate there any longer.

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

[mention]learningtofly[/mention] are Tirumph riders particularly subnormal or right wing? Or is it just another case of the loud and stupid?

Well, it's certainly a case of the latter (I would say that, being a Triumph-riding leftie libertarian myself), but some of the posts were blood-curdling they were so extreme. There's a bit of a power struggle going on over there as well (with the same gobshites at the root of it), and it's certainly not the place I stopped posting on a couple of years ago when I bought the R9T.

[S-Westerly]

Can't stand Trump but before we get all holier than thou remember that almost 70 million people voted for him and they are not all brain dead. I've got some friends and family in the US. The family reluctantly voted Democrat as they really didn't like Trump but the friends voted Republican because they hated even the whiff of socialism associated with the Democrats.

More of a tactical withdrawal

Being serious, though, I use the Internet for many purposes, but I participate on forums solely for leisure/pleasure. No point hanging out somewhere that I neither like nor enjoy

I maybe loud & stupid but definitely not right wing

Once upon a time one of the Gallagher brothers was watching Zoe Ball doing her hyperactive DJ/presenter act (remember when every presenter shouted a lot to make their dull selves seem exciting) and he muttered to the other brother-

“It’s like a single pea in an empty bucket, it’s makes a lot of noise but when you look in there’s nothing there”

It’s stuck with me, often when I’m listening to other people talk I often find myself thinking it’s like a single pea...

[mention]Mickly[/mention] so far have not failed to illicit that response, you might have to up your game

Perhaps I should say THAT LOUDER

Yes we wouldn't want horrible socialist things like the NHS would we.. far better to let the weak and poor die.

Oh you're a type 1 diabetic and need insulin to live? Bad luck, hope you aren't poor!

I wonder if they would donate to a go fund me for a friend or relative struggling to pay medical bills? Or would that have the whiff of socialism too?

Land of the free indeed.

Health Service? F@ck that Commie shit! And let the kids starve as well!

You know, for once, I'd really like to people to come clean on their real reasons that they support these populists.

Limited intellect and lack of education obviously play a big part....but I've no doubt that in the majority of cases it's hearing the Politicians actually reinforcing the ingrained beliefs that they actually have. And then feeling an empathy with them.

That's actually much more worrying than just plain stupidity.
