One can only hope…she’s gone from being a spring factory worker, living with grandma, never having driven on a motorway never having flown anywhere to controlling a media business. She has had the intelligence to hire experts to advise her, and is capitalizing on her (temporary) fame to sock away a nest-egg. She is literally the American dream…yep, in more ways than one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I said the same thing about Boris Johnston. People can be f**king mental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the public get a pass over Liz Truss either, as I'm 99% sure she'd have won a general election before actually getting starting in the job and utterly destroying her own party.

Almost as big a bombshell as the one from the other day when it was revealed Tim Walz talked to one of his dug's pals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know your dirt-digging is going well when you announce to the world that your target might not have included McDonalds on their graduate CV for their first big-boy job. I'm sure flipping burgers would've made all the difference to an employer when applying for legal work. That would sound even stupider in America, considering their resumes are substantially shorter than a CV in the UK - one side of paper. You really do just include anything directly pertinent to the job you're applying for. They (quite fairly) find it really funny that we include stuff like personal interests on ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Trump’s campaign adviser Steven Cheung seems exactly like the sort of arsehole Trump would hire. Claims that the Arlington Cemetery staff member who tried to stop Trump using the cemetery for political purposes (against Federal rules) was suffering a ‘mental health episode’. He also looks incredibly weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America is already a fascist country pal, has been for as long as fascism has existed. I don’t think anybody will be fighting over Cowdenbeath anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 We should all start feeding Trump shite about Cowdenbeath being the UK's centre for Islamism/Communism/jism/Wokeism. They don't seem to have much of a problem spouting pish about Birmingham and London being no-go areas for good proper normal BRITTISH! people, so if we all work together, we can insert Cowdenbeath into the American elections. Imagine how he'd mangle the pronunciation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (Weid pronounciation) Cowdenbeath folks (even weirder pronunciation) Cowdenbeeeth. It's sad, (melancholic voice) very sad. They tell me they have 6 fingers on each hand (looks at own hand like it's the first time he's seen it). I don't know about that, but many people are saying this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm...we'd had May in charge for about a year by then, I think. Folk had plenty of time to realise she wasn't going to be very good at the job. Even then, while it was hilarious how she f**ked that election, she didn't lose many seats. Truss was already a laughing stock by the time she was chosen to be Prime Minister, but so was Boris Johnson. I suppose you can't blame the men in suits for thinking that obviously incompetent weirdos might be the flavour of the month with the electorate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but Johnson was a General Melchett type incompetent weirdo who the English have a mad hardon for tugging their forelocks at. Truss was more like a Baldrick who couldn’t quite believe he’d gotten a chance to give his cunning plan a go, albeit we’ll never know if one of Baldrick’s would have gone any worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's one of these unknowable things. I'd say it was the election campaign that really did for May though, and I think similar might have happened to Truss. But who knows? Thankfully we're well shot of her now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has written a book "Ten Years to save the West". I haven't got it but I have 2034 pencilled in to see her amazing comeback. Playing the long game. That is her plan! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
