Has anyone heard from chewk or any of the other trump fans?
Would be interested to hear from tinribz, robdixon, 5thElefant or even ninfan- who put so much effort into telling us trump wasn't a fascist....
Oh God no. Not until someone builds a new working killfile.
Is it me or does that look like a kid thats glued his pubes to his face?

It's been spotted that he's wearing his work security pass on his lanyard. His employers have fired him 😂
Trump did say that they are special people. That one looks very special to me.
dig the white heat reference
Trump clearly has narcissistic personality disorder. IN his mind he is always a winner and always right. He knows the election was rigged because he never loses. Thus the fact that everyone else is running away from him even previously loyal acolytes will be causing him immense distress and cognitive dissonance. I fully believe the reports he is raging angry, paranoid and has totally lost any grip of reality as a result of this.
None of his crazyness is an act or calculated. Its a product of his personality disorder
Clearly unfit to be president with raging paranoia and no connection to reality
It looks like the result of one of those 'face swap' apps! Genuinely looks like a childs face photoshopped on!
Why have they used Corbyn’s face on the Gollum cartoon?
what if Trump really is experiencing a form of mania/psychosis related to having covid/long covid and when you add in the cocktail of drugs he received at the time
The current behaviour is entirely consistent with his whole life, so no I don't think that's the case.
BBCs ‘woke agenda’ and anti-Trump bias, how comparing him to autocrats and dictators was outrageous – those comments haven’t aged well have they.
It’s only just begun. UK Trumpers are legion. They are sick to the back teeth of the BBC, ITV and Ch4 etc, and are trying to get rid of the beeb altogether. Expect 2027 it will bow gracefully out with a final kick in the back. BBC World Service may remain in some capacity. Andrew Neil just got £60m injection to bring a new ‘Fox-News-style’ right-wing channel to help satisfy/feed/grow the UK appetite for continued sticking it to foreigners, Muslims, immigrants, ‘the left’, BLM, the PC Brigade, wearing facemasks and whatever else. Oh yeah, the ‘Global Warming’ lie. Etc etc. Because conspiracy is always a balance for science. Fair and ‘balanced’, see? Nothing to do with stoking outrage and division for £££. Nothing at all. 😐
All in the pursuit of balance you see. Because as you know, the silver-tongued cuddly fash such as Farage, Hitchens (the wrong one), Laurence Fox, and that one I forget (who is like a camp, posh Yaxley-Lennon, softly telling us how white people are being displaced and that he doesn’t have a voice etc) will be on repeat-rinse.
GB News’ management team includes chief executive Angelos Frangopoulos, the former head of Sky News Australia
Expect GB News to more like Sky News Australia. The current momentum/£££ is for right-wing conspiracists, and the UK has a MASSIVE appetite for it via social media and the tabloids but they want more. Right now they are fixating on the seriousness of Covid 19 being a ‘left wing’ invention

Press secretary turns up to say that they are 'working on' a peaceful transition. Interesting phrasing. Given that Pence has been incommunicado all day, I wonder if a Trump resignation is finally incoming? 'I'll resign if you pardon me..' type bullshit. Pence could well have presented two options to him - go with some fake dignity, or get turfed out using the 25th.
To be followed up with Pence claiming this was 'the best way to heal moving forward...' or somesuch.
“Nothing is ever enough. This is far beyond garden-variety narcissism; Donald is not simply weak, his ego is a fragile thing that must be bolstered every moment because he knows deep down that he is nothing of what he claims to be.”
“The fact is, Donald’s pathologies are so complex and his behaviors so often inexplicable that coming up with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis would require a full battery of psychological and neuro-physical tests, that he’ll never sit for,” she writes at another point in the book.
Mary Trump also describes her uncle as having been sheltered from the real world and from the consequences of his own behavior. “Donald has been institutionalized for most of his adult life, so there is no way to know how he would thrive, or even survive, on his own in the real world.”
Trump, 74, has also been enabled throughout his life, she writes, by people who have permitted him to violate rules and mores with impunity.
Trump’s presidency and the multiple crises currently engulfing the nation, Mary Trump writes, are the “end result of Donald’s having continually been given a pass and rewarded not just for his failures but for his transgressions — against tradition, against decency, against the law, and against fellow human beings.”
Spoilt rich kid that always got his own way. Talks about "war" on this and "war" on that but his family's manipulation of the system kept out of Vietnam. Like his redneck Nazi followers he has a delusion complex. Which is dangerous when you have that much power. Tiny handed Nero.
Finally a whitehouse press briefing from Kayleigh McEnaney, all 60 or so seconds of it below.
Well I guess that’s the “scuffle”* all cleared up, nothing else to really say is there?

"and that one I forget (who is like a one-man camp, posh Yaxley-Lennon gig) will be on repeat"
Do you mean Douglas Murray by any chance? Frequently writes for the telegraph and the spectator and pops up on any alt right you tube channel or talk (spew) radio show that'll have him?
Whenever I see him I say to myself in that Captain Manwearing voice:
"Stupid boy"
Those who are working in this building are working to ensure an orderly transition of power.
Thats a very telling form of words to me. Everyone is leaning on trump to go?
I just posted exactly the same thing, TJ.
Apparently there is a bit of a 'Downfall' vibe in the bunker right now.

@inkster, yes that’s the one. Not stupid, just dangerous and motivated. It’s a business model, feeding the ongoing narrative of white supremacy and ‘the Marxinists are going to get you/are controlling you/are eating your children’. He will be well paid. A lot of very angsty and disillusioned rabble to rouse come the Brecession proper. Haven’t figured out who the GB News anti-cycling mouthpiece shall be as yet. It’s like playing Fascisty Football in my head. Shittest game ever. They are all some version of Alex Jones and/or Tommy Gobinson
Our government are still pumping out the same jingoistic populist nonsense

How the f*** was she let out of her cage? Her still being a spokesperson indicates that Trump has at least some remaining influence. The optics were that Pence had cabinet members had quietly taken control and locked Trump in his room with a TV remote and a pack of jelly babies?
This needs to come to an end, he has to be forcibly removed NOW.
Edit:
I was just waiting for her to blame Antifa.
I can imagine Trump has the sort of character that will choose to smash all the toys and destroy everything rather than allow others to play and participate, if that is the case, and I can easily envision such a scenario playing out in the whitehouse at this moment then there is no choice but to remove him, to leave him in place will damage the Republican Party for years to come.
I hope he is removed by the morning otherwise he will be doing untold damage to whatever he can. He won't get anywhere near the Red Button though, far too many hurdles to overcome on his own.
Maybe he'll set fire to the Oval Office or something.
@inkster, yes that’s the one. He’s not stupid, he’s an accomplished grifter. It’s a business model, feeding the ongoing narrative/paranoia of white supremacy and ‘the Marxinists are going to get you/are controlling you/are stopping you listening to the truth yadayada’. He will be well paid. A lot of very angsty and disillusioned rabble to rouse come the Brecession proper. Haven’t figured out who the GB News anti-cycling mouthpiece shall be as yet.

‘Hi, I’m posh Alex, and here’s even posher Alex. We are at war against information. And here’s Northern British Alex. He’s at war against the wokeist transexuals and the globalist Muslim soymilk girlyboy communists who force you to wear masks in your own town. We aren’t taking it any longer. Britain now has a voice!’

Taken just before the start of the mob pushing in.??
Don't do Twitter so could be out of context.
Classic Mcmenememenemeny, "But BLM!"
OTOH at 10 seconds in she does say "we condemn it, the president, and this administration, in the strongest possible terms" which is pretty reasonably

Full MemberNot heard this mentioned so far but what if Trump really is experiencing a form of mania/psychosis related to having covid/long covid and when you add in the cocktail of drugs he received at the time/could well be still on them isn’t it now time to call a halt to his presidency?.
He might be having some effects (I said at the time that I don't think he'll ever stop taking the steroids- he was enjoying it too much, felt "better than he had in years" and I don't think we've ever seen the withdrawal effects that he probably would have had if he'd stopped. And even without any other conditions, just that feeling of energy and elevation could easily change his actions.
But, at most it's just amplifying a little/taking away whatever internal censor he ever had- nothing he's done in the last few days is really inconsistent with before he got covid.
I suppose it could make a useful excuse to get rid of him? But that's all.
P7eaven,
Dangerous and motivated yes but stupid still.
I'm sure he has a degree from Oxford and all that but when one considers that everything he says is falsifiable wrong I think the epithet 'Stupid' fits perfectly.
The problem is that we frequently see bad faith actors like him given airtime on QT and Newsnight etc to air their views on volatile topics, all in the interest of balance of course. The presenters of such shows always fail to point out that there is no truth or fact in what he is saying. I do wonder if it's because they're all Oxbridge chums together, and afford him a level of respect (and intelligence) that his utterances do not possess and he does not deserve.
He's like a low rent Ben Shapiro.
You'll have to summarise. Only Apple folk can open that link.
Mr Trump has specifically asked about the legal implications of giving himself a presidential pardon before leaving the White House, the New York Times reported, speaking with aides about the issue in the weeks since his electoral defeat.
The president has also reportedly considered issuing pardons to his family members, including Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr, as well as aides like Jared Kushner and his personal attorney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Apologies. From the Independent-
“ President Donald Trump has suggested to close aides he plans to pardon himself in the final days of his White House administration, according to a new report, amid calls for his removal from the Oval Office.”
when one considers that everything he says is falsifiable wrong I think the epithet ‘Stupid’ fits perfectly.
Post-truth culture/times. He who has the biggest influence/subscriber base/£££$$$💰BTC/memes ‘wins.’
Being falsifiably wrong is no longer a selector. Hasn’t been for some time. Trump didn’t invent grifting. Millions believe he is the anointed truth. Who is stupid? The happy grifter with a big pay cheque and millions of adoring fans who think they are The Truth ? Or the bitter if principled stickler who is complaining about the many lies and misinformation being peddled?
Fox News headline. (I wasn't going to poison you with a link)
"Jamiroquai lead singer Jay Kay denies he was at Capitol riots after fans mistake him for man in horned helmet
The singer said that he was not 'with all those freaks'
reports suggest Pence isn't going to invoke 25th Amendment (as would cause more violence)

He might be having some effects (I said at the time that I don’t think he’ll ever stop taking the steroids-
That’s the point I was trying to get across, I’ve personally been the recipient of various strong IV steroids over the years to try and calm down/regulate my multiple sclerosis and some of their unintentional side effects are startling, I often felt a sense of utter invincibility for weeks after having infusions to the point where I was taking increasingly foolish risks, on the bike mainly but also in daily life, my judgement of how well I could handle dangerous situations was seriously out of kilter with reality.
Trump has been ramping up the “bat shit craziness” since he left hospital and gawd knows what drugs he’s on at the moment.
Is it just me that thinks the press secretary is smoking hot?
Some more light reading about dTrump and his actions...

"A snap YouGov poll found that 45 percent of Republicans approved of the storming of the Capitol; 43 percent opposed it."
(From the NYT)
Of course they were only a tiny minority.
