Post-truth politics in overdrive as politicians now just openly lie and let social media and the tabloids make them perceived reality.
Same as any other previous means used to control the masses but seems more blatant to those who are 'woke'.
Gets votes and that's all that matters.
Another dignified day for the President remembering those lost on this day 17 years ago...
As we all remember the day he went on a tv phone in to brag how he now had the tallest building in downtown Manhattan.
Utter ******
It's the looks on the faces of the people around that speak volumes (including his wife)
To be fair though, his words on Twitter were thoughtful, sombre, reflective and full of empathy:

Woo hoo!
'I say 9, you say '11'!... '9...'
reflective and full of empathy:
For him that is rather impressive. Didnt make it all about it him.
Ok it is a low bar to set.
For him that is rather impressive. Didnt make it all about it him.
No, he did all that on the day in question...
Deepest depths. Beautiful sinkage. The best.
Speechless. But sadly not surprised.
Ryan's response is genius though. "Should Trump apologise?" "Well, he didn't cause the hurricane soooooo no"
Ryan’s response is genius though.
Almost as if he is working his notice and doesn't give a shit

<p class="story-body__introduction">Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has agreed a plea deal to avoid a second trial, US media report.</p>
According to court documents, he has agreed to plead guilty on Friday to two criminal counts in the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Flippity flip flip flip
It's not over 'til the fat lady sings...hang on...
NSFW!
Wonder what he might have?
Flippity flip flip flip
Oh dear trumpy is going to have to take back all the nice things he said about him not making a deal.
I notice an absence of all the pro Trumpers in this thread recently. Has he maybe reached the stage of beibf indefensible.

Recent reports are showing his base has worked out that he is now starting to insult them. The mocking the southerners was a big mistake, expect to see that on election posters.
It's so often the problem with that sort of person.
A bit like a rabid dog - willing to turn at any second.
There will be people all over 'merica going "hang on a minute, he means us"....although it may take a while for the penny to drop in some cases.

He's either been banned for good, or he's had a startlingly self revealatory moment that trying to prop up his clearly fragile self esteem through validation via the medium of arguing on a mountain bike forum wasn't good for his mental health...
I'm going with banned personally
I notice an absence of all the pro Trumpers in this thread recently.
Who, exactly, do you think is currently running the White House?
Do trump has burned through so many people he's now hiring internet trolls from bike websites, guess it was only a matter of time.
Well the only advantage to turning over staff that fast is nobody knows where all the bodies are buried!!
Given Manefort has pled guilty to all charges (even those not proved) as part of his deal and given up a huge amount of his property and assets in with it, I don't see him owing Trump much now, that free work he did could have been the most costly he ever did. He will be happy to have an easy life
Woppits right that 35-40% base are unwavering, the economy is doing fine, just depends where his tradewar goes really to see if they budge
Everything else can be dismissed as fake news
I think the whole ‘Trump’ experience is going to prove costly for a lot of people.
Apparently Hannity is now saying that trump will be sacking Mueller soon.
I might be up for some Trump consulting as long as he pays up front 🙂
Apparently Hannity is now saying that trump will be sacking Mueller soon.
I imagine Hannity is now increasingly keen on helping produce the kind of shitstorm which might distract the authorities from looking into his own business dealings with Cohen. Persuading Trump to sack Mueller should do it...

I am still here supporting.
Just let President Trump get on with it as he is doing well and people still support him.
Also in the near future EU will feel the full force of East and West ...
😀

What is that?

Yeah, give him enough rope then kick the box out from underneath him...
Chewkw is a very determined troll isn't he?
Very simple Trump is the President who decides to do thing differently so what is wrong with that?
Different administrations do things differently.
I agree with chewk; paying off porn stars with campaign funds & collaborating with a foreign power to smear your opponent is quite 'different'
Different administrations do things differently.

“I’m afraid Mr Godwin is busy right now, if you’d like to leave a message after the tone he’ll get right back to you”.
And now it seems his supreme court nomination has some #metoo problems all.going well there.
So now we know why Flump is so obsessed with nuclear weapons.
He has a mushroom of his own. Bit undersized though, apparently... 😉
Like a toadstool, i am expecting him to Nuke North Korea to compensate for this.
He has a mushroom of his own.
Stormy certainly knows exactly how to push his buttons.
And, against advice, it looks like Rosenstein is about to be given the shove...things are about to get very warm indeed.
he could have a lot of dirt on Trump & hes mentioned recordings before.
I suppose Trump is one step closer to firing Mueller now, too
Yup,make way for Francisco
They think Francisco would have two options as Mueller’s new boss: He could keep the status quo and allow Mueller to continue the investigation, or he could choose to curtail Mueller’s mandate or even shut down the investigation.
From Vox ^^
I see the United Nations are now openly laughing at him:
https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1044599525598515201
No Donald, they're laughing at you, not with you...
He doesn't care, he got on TV again. He probably has it on a loop this evening
😂😂😂
guess that’s him pulling out of or trying to destroy the UN now...
guess that’s him pulling out
Well it shouldn’t be too difficult apart from the umbrella effect...
They laughed out of respect https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5bab7019e4b0f143d10ee8f4/amp
It's often what I do.....
They laughed out of respect
Yeah I saw that one.
US Ambassador Nikki Haley desperately grasping for a positive spin for Fox & Friends, no matter how absurd it is.
“They loved how honest he is,” Haley said. “It’s not diplomatic and they find it funny. ... When he goes and he is very truthful, they kind of were taken back by it.”
Yeah that'll be it right enough. Definitely not that they think he is a massive orange bellend who lies almost every time he opens his mouth.
Almost? I’d double check the time if he said ‘Good Morning’ to me!
Trump later told reporters that his boastful comment was meant to draw laughter.
“Oh, it was great,” he said. “Well, that was meant to get some laughter, but it was great.”
Apparently he meant to get the reaction he didn't expect
Just seen him accuse China of election meddling in the mid terms at the UN to the apparent bafflement of the Chinese delegation...
INFAMY, INFAMY, THEYVE ALL GOT IT IN FOR ME!!!!
Is that in case the drop too many seats and can claim it was the Chinese who won it for them
Like my favourite quote about Sepp Blatter
"He has 99 ideas a day,
100 of them are bad"
What would you say to his face if you had the chance (and gripped his little paw hard enough to hurt, obvs)?
I’d probably go with: “Jesus loves you (pause), everybody else thinks you’re a c**t”. 😃
Jesus thinks you're a c**t so does everybody else. Apart from the other c**ts and they're not sure, they just like your money.
"Bet that was a great night in Moscow"
Smile and walk away
Mr Big Brain to you!
I still find the "ME ME ME" narrative of Trump's press conferences just astonishing.
When asked about Kavanaugh's alleged conduct, he responds by talking about women who've accused him.When asked questions about North Korea, he asserts that without him, the US would be a war with North Korea right now (yeah, he actually said that) In answers about the trade war he's conducting with China, he suggests that all trade experts thinks he's very smart...and on and on and on.
The man is the president, you literally can't go higher in the US, and yet his ego is so fragile that he still can't help justifying himself either through obviously check-able made up Trump "facts" or just flat out lies, it's just weird.
bigbutslimmerbloke wins the internetz! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
‘Nice to meet you. What’s your name? I see. And what do you do for a living, Mr Trump? No, you must’ve misheard. What do you really do?’
There's a lot of people making money out of writing books about Trump
Funny that his crowning achievement will be the creation of an entire new genre of literature devoted to exposing just how stupid and vain he is.
Bloopers reel from his UN chat with the media...
...Its not a bloopers reel at all.
Frankly, that link of Trump that Jolmes posted is terrifying!

With a couple of his statements I did have to glance at the screen to see if it had swapped up to some stand up comic mimicking him.
There’s nothing like planning is there...
Bannon later told friends. “I go, ‘Holy ****, this guy [Trump] doesn’t know anything. And he doesn’t give a shit.’”
I had known about the ‘no one turned up till inauguration day’ thing, but ****ing hell.
As much as most take the piss out of the civil service, at least we don’t change it every time a new PM comes in...

well whether hes a rapist or not (tho his accuser seemed pretty convincing) you can see why Trump likes Kavanagh: abraisive, self-centred & shouts down people who dare to criticise him
Well after a bit of consideration the NYT gave me an idea of something Trump has accomplished
Well I think at this point he has kicked off and woken up a power and a fury in the US and possibly gone a long way to start breaking up the old white man monopoly that has locked down politics in the US
I don't think this was in his plan though
NSFW as sweary, but hilarious...
There’s a horse loose in a hospital
More credit to trump
By age 3, Mr. Trump was earning $200,000 a year in today’s dollars from his father’s empire. He was a millionaire by age 8. By the time he was 17, his father had given him part ownership of a 52-unit apartment building. Soon after Mr. Trump graduated from college, he was receiving the equivalent of $1 million a year from his father. The money increased with the years, to more than $5 million annually in his 40s and 50s.
Not sure how many other 3 year old had used theis skills to earn 200k a year.
Or the other version
From The New York Times:
Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father
The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s.

I think we would all have struggled on with that sort of hard start in life.

I doubt he's read the book.
As an aside, I'm more perplexed that Quentin Blake appears to think that Matilda would go on to run a Hair and Beauty Parlour in her 30s:
Which makes me wonder if he has read the book either. Matilda's mum, who ignored her and finally abandoned her, was the one obsessed with looks. It would be an odd thing for Matilda to fall in to.
The other suggestions seem much better to me:

Being trolled by his own bog roll now.
At least his Golf empire is doing well.
The Turnberry golf resort owned by US president Donald Trump has racked up millions of pounds of losses for the fourth year in a row.
According to Companies House filings, SLC Turnberry's parent company Golf Recreation Scotland was in the red by almost £3.4m in 2017.
In the previous year, it posted losses of £17.6m after the resort was closed for six months for redevelopment.
Since Mr Trump took over Turnberry in 2014, its losses have totalled £33m
I am sure it's all 'fake news' and people can't see his long term vision.
