Damn RIGHT, Joe, damn bloody RIGHT. You cannot be TRUSTED. You need to be impeached.
I can’t wait to see him leave office next January. He will probably be in a wheelchair by then — with an IV by his side. Worst President ever. Done so much harm to the U.S.
I used to be a HUGE fan. He has managed to totally alienate me. Shame. All I wanted him to do was GRACIOUSLY & gracefully step aside & let a younger, more capable person run against Trump. Oh, NO! His bloody ego. he just doesn’t see how old, feeble and doddering he is.
Well these are the TRUEST WORDS he has spoken during his whole pathetic Presidency.
I have NEVER liked ‘Bill Barr‘. I don’t like him now either. But, on this matter, I (ALAS) have to agree with him — since I feel, 100%, the SAME WAY.
Biden is NOW a bigger threat to the welfare of the U.S. than Trump!
It is true. Biden is weak, indecisive and nobody respects him. The borders are BEYOND A MESS and inflation is unabetting. I am so fed up of seeing him shuffling about, looking lost & confused and talking like the VERY OLD MAN he is. We need a STRONG President.
I am NOT sure I can vote for Trump, BUT I will NOT (I repeat, ‘NOT’), vote for Biden.
Biden is letting us ALL down. The world thinks we are weak. As I have pointed out the U.K. & Poland have already ACCEPTED that Trump will be the next president. There can no longer be any doubt or debate that Trump will WIN the November election by a landslide. I doubt whether Biden will more than 5 states!
You only need ONE JUROR to dissent to get a HUNG JURY.
I already told you that the Foreman (i.e., the 1st juror who is seated) was a U.K. ‘Daily Mail’ read (just like I). The Daily Mail is conservative and VERY PRO-Trump.
Now we have the complete list (or table) thanks to “The New York Times“.
Cracked me up when I saw it in the U.K. ‘Daily Mail’ last night. They reported it with a straight face. Did not gloat or draw attention to it.
‘dailymail.com‘ IS the U.K. Daily Mail. That ‘.com’ resolves into the ‘co.uk‘ address. Check it out.
This is CRAZY. What were the chances? [And IF you were wondering (& I did have to look it up). In New York, the FIRST juror seated is AUTOMATICALLY the ‘foreman’. That is it. That is how this guy became the foreman. No other factors. Just the first seated as a juror.]
Anyone who is even vaguely familiar with this blog must know that I am an AVID U.K. Daily Mail reader. I read it, ONLINE, at least 8 times a day — first thing in the morning & last thing at night. I started reading the Daily Mail, in print, in the 1970s — when I started working, as a 20-year old. I didn’t have time to read one of the UK’s posh, pakka papers. So, I settled on the Daily Mail. It did a decent enough job covering cricket scores — which was very important.
Yes, I know all the issues with the Daily Mail. The typos are infuriating. But, by and large it doesn’t get too much totally wrong when it comes to the NEWS. It is ALWAYS WAY, WAY ahead of the U.S. media. That is a huge bonus. Yes, it is a tad right wing! SMILE. But, I can live with that.
An American man who gets his news from the U.K. Daily Mail will be RIGHT WING. More than likely a Trump fan. So, we will get a HUNG JURY. So, Trump will not get charged in THIS trial. They will, if they wish, have to have another trial — AFTER he is President. {Good luck with that.}
Joe Biden is toast, burnt toast. Watching him campaigning in Pennsylvania is embarrassing. I keep on looking for the IV stand on wheels trailing him. He looks pathetic. He looks what he is. A very old man, shuffling about with no bloody clue.
Though I am NOT a fan of Trump, I am, in a way, relieved that he will be President. This country is in a mess. The border needs sorting out. And yes, his economic policies will not hurt me. SMILE.
So, I am resigned to it. His presidency will be better than what we have now — which is NOTHING. NADA. No-Op. Biden is a disgrace!
Though they have had their fair amount of screwups, the British government, by and large, tends to have its finger on the pulse and can be pretty sharp and savvy when it come to global politics.
They have accepted the reality that Donald Trump will easily beat bumbling ‘Joe Biden‘ in November to AGAIN be President.
“David Cameron’s” meeting with Donald Trump, at ‘Mar-a-Lago’, on Monday, did not get much media coverage in the U.S.
But this is HUGE.
This is the British government already acknowledging that Trump will be the next President.
I agree.
Trump will win. Trump will beat Biden. Trump will be the next President.
My hat off to the British government for being this smart.
Donald Trump’s claim, this morning, that he was a ‘Modern Day Nelson Mandela‘ infuriated me. That is no surprise. Dear Nelson is in the TOP TIER of my Pantheon of Heroes. And NO, Trump will never make it to that hallowed pantheon to join two other U.S. presidents.
I tried Googling to see IF Trump ever met with Nelson. I couldn’t find anything. It is possible. Trump did get around.
Nelson, of course, is used to dealing with white nationalists — most of white South Africa was that during apartheid. I tried to work out if he would have thought Trump similar to ‘F.W. de Klerk‘. De Klerk was fairly smart — much, much smarter than Trump (but that is not hard to be). I think Nelson had some respect for de Klerk. Yes, there was mutual respect.
Not sure whether Nelson would have found anything to respect in Trump.
Fascinating.
I am sure of one thing though. Trump is NO Mandela. That has to be clear to most.
It was “Donald Trump’s” claim this morning that he was a modern day ‘Nelson Mandela‘ that got me thinking about MY PANTHEON — where dear Mandela has always been in the top tier. [I will do a post on the Trump claim later.]
If you follow this blog you must have heard me mention that ‘Winston‘ was always my TOP DOG. Smile.
So this pantheon should explain why it is not easy being I. SMILE.
Do you KNOW the one female in this pantheon — & she was not a TOKEN entry. She actually is the ONLY ONE I have met. Great lady. Deserved to be in this pantheon. Yes, I called her ‘Aunty’ though, alas, we were not related by blood. But, a close, a very close, family friend.
Three (of my many) Goldens have been: ‘Winston’, ‘Monty’ & ‘Ulysses’. That is the ultimate honor I can bestow. Alas we have had a series of female dogs and I haven’t been given a chance to name a dog in decades. SMILE.
Yes, I know that Winston was a racist & maybe even a poofter. But, most men of that era were that. SMILE.
Anywho …
The next tier down includes another lady. British, BUT notTHE QUEEN! Not sure whether the Queen makes my list.
Disgusting! Disgusting old man. He should be arrested. How vile.
‘Dalai Lama’ is NOT — I REPEAT ‘NOT’ — a mainline Buddhist leader. Get that. He is NOT a mainline Buddhist leader.
Buddhism doesn’t actually have ‘global’ leaders akin to say the pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Patriarch of Constantinople. He is only the exiled head of a small Tibetan sect. Got that. Head of a small Tibetan sect. So, he definitely, definitely, does NOT represent the Buddhists of Sri Lanka, Myanmar or Thailand.
He is really only BIG among Western (part-time) Buddhists.
I really have never had much time for him.
Now my fears have been confirmed. He has shown his true colors. Dirty old bugger.
For the last two decades he has ONLY been interested in PROMOTING & FURTHERING his PERSONAL CULT.
He does not represent all Buddhists.
He doesn’t speak on behalf of all Buddhists.
His only interest is his own aggrandizement. He is a Donald Trump.
I hope this story gets a lot of publicity. Then, with luck, SOME might realize that he is no saint. Dirty old bugger.
Funny thing. I came across this reference to ‘Franklin Pierce‘ getting arrested for riding over an old woman in the ‘Audible‘ book I am currently listening to, viz. ‘Mad Honey‘. I had never heard of that. We all keep getting told that ‘Trump’ is the first. Yes, I had heard that my hero ‘Ulysses S. Grant‘ was ‘stopped’ (if not arrested) for reckless horse-riding. But, this allegation about New Hampshire’s own (& only) was new. I had to look it up.
I quickly realized that this might NOT have been exactly as portrayed BUT that there was ‘something’ there — i.e., some fairly serious accident involving the President. Maybe he wasn’t arrested per se. But, I wanted to bring it to YOU attention since it is so topical.
