    Meanwhile in Poland preliminary findings of the autopsy on the Polish driver found dead in the truck suggest the man may have still been alive when the attack occurred.

     

    A BBC report says this: 

    Government officials have said the lorry's automatic braking system may have prevented the loss of more lives, German media reported. The system kicks in when it senses an impact and this may have cut the hijacker's rampage short.

    A sincere question for the Trump supporters:  Do you truly believe that Trump is interested in the "job" of president?  Not the title, prestige or ceremony that come with it, but the job itself.  Not the massive ego stroke it will bring, but the motivation to get out of bed in the morning to improve the lives of all Americans.

     

    Because, quite frankly, I don't.  The man is in his 70s and I haven't seen any evidence that he's done anything for anyone other than himself in those seven decades.  His foundation was a self-enriching scam.  His "university" was a self-enriching scam.  His multiple bankruptcies were self-enriching scams.  Therefore it's not much of a leap to conclude that his candidacy (and now presidency) are self enriching scams.

     

    So when the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue states that Trump is "woefully unfit" to be president, this is partly what he is referring to.  He could also be referring to the preponderance of evidence which indicates that Trump knows next to nothing about domestic and foreign policy.

     

    Another question for the Trump supporters:  If Trump could somehow find a way to leave office in the next year or two without embarrassment (for example, a health issue) do you think he would jump at the chance?  I have no doubt whatsoever that he would.  

     

    1. YES

    2. NO

    This is an interesting documentary from 1994:

    I do think we are looking at a multi-generational Trump Dynasty.  Donald for 8 years, then one of his children, possibly Ivanka.  I would like to see her as the first woman president.

     

    Have to say I 100% agree, if Trump does well, and I think he will, then it is the logical next step.

    My money is on Ivanka, wonder what odds I could get on that now. :)

    Everything was thrown at him, including the kitchen sink, all failed like the Democratic wonder woman, HRC.  They then tried to have the electoral college change their votes, absolute idiots, as many states, are required by law, to vote for the person their state voted overwhelmingly for.  So what is this impeachment, the last throw of the dice?  You wish.  Why can't you just get over it? 

     

    Collusion for what?  Conflict of Interest, does not apply to the president in such aspects, treason, or some other serious matters, such as lying like BC did, may cause that to happen but all your wishing will be for nothing, the same as what you are on about, nothing.  Yeah, let the games begin and watch how 4 years will turn into 8.  If I'm still around and your are too, you will probably be drinking that JHolmesJr's Christmas whine, which it appears you've given a good serve to recently.:wai:

     

    I am already figuring it at 16 years, with Ivanka.

    At this point, we don't even know, WHO actually did this, what is his background, what are the motives!

    For all I care, he could have shouted "Now do you love me, daddy?!" as he crashed into the first row of people!

    But sure, for most of the posters on this thread so far...must have been a Muslim!

    Who else!

    And even if he was?

    That tells you that "multikulti" doesn't work?

    Again: what a lot of BS!

     

    Are you for real? WAKE UP!!!!!!!

    You think behaving decently to the current President should get him points? Are your standards that low? As for letting Hillary of the hook. Well, I guess it gives him grounds for justifying his hiring of Michael Flynn. 

    But the point isn't that he whether or not he should get merit points for these two instances.  The fact is that he isn't being magnanimous. He's still petty and vindictive and dishonest in victory.

     

    I would say it is you who are petty and vindictive and dishonest in defeat.

    Yeah thanks for that. I guess you are right and that is why you keep hearing about all those billionaire Climate Scientists making money pulling the wool over peoples' eyes. Devious swine that they are. Or are they just after the fame and glory?

     

    If you were a climate scientist though, who knows what side of the debate you would fall on? They are split down the middle 97% to 3% after all. I guess they need to read more from the highly respected 'wattsupwiththat' website.

     

    Let's just beg to differ and hope you are right. Especially if you have kids or grandkids. 

     

    (Altering what someone else writes and ending with a self-satisfied emoji doesn't actually make you right though.)

     

    Where exactly are you getting this 97% vs 3%?

     

    Billions and billions of $ funding pouring into the field. It's a multi billion $ industry.

     

    I know altering posts is a bit of a no no, but would not really make sense presented another way :)

     

     

  8. MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN

     

    To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II:

     

    In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.(You should lookup 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.) Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, common wealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).

     

    Your new Prime Minister, Theresa May , will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

     

    To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

     

    1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').

     

    2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of '-ize.'

     

    3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

     

    4.You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist,then you're not ready to shoot grouse.

     

    5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

     

    6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

     

    7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.

     

    8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

     

    9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

     

    10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.

     

    11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body Armour like a bunch of nancies).

     

    12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.

     

    13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

     

    14. An internal revenue agent (I.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

     

    15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.
