Trump's Second Term

Jack by the hedge said:
The UK equivalent would be Thatcher telling us what we wanted was choice. A choice of schools, a choice of hospitals. It took a lot of people too long to realise what we wanted was good schools and good hospitals so we didn't have to fight each other to avoid the bad ones.

Politicians like choice, if they give you a choice and what you choose isn't as good as you hoped it would be that's your fault not theirs.

Yeah, he’s gonna rob the White House blind of all its treasures. Anybody check the basement yet to see if all the stuff still down there and stored by the way, that’s our stuff the American people stuff.🤬

But I can imagine Trump turning into a James Bond movie type villain. He finally burns down Mar a Lago with our national treasures in it.

It looks like when Trump said he was sending out the Resolute Desk for refurbishing, it got redirected to Mar-A-Lago. It's sitting in the lobby there, and since nothing was said about where it was going after refurbishing, it appears he meant to keep it.

Once a thief, always a odoriferous, lying, cheating, frauding, sociopathic thief.

Stopped winning wars when the Dept of War became the Dept of Defence.

He's still using this one?

Trump: We won World War I. We won World War II. We won everything in between. We won everything that came before. Then, we brilliantly decided to change the name of this great thing we all created together.

We became politically correct. We don't like being politically correct. So we aren't going to be politically correct anymore. From now on, when we fight a war , we fight for one reason, to win.

STFU, draft-dodger.

Nobody has hinted that Schumer may have also been working behind the scenes to secure Republican votes for the promised ACA subsidy vote thirty to sixty days from now. But if he has those cards and will be playing them over the next month or two, and actually gets the ACA subsidies restored, that would be a massive political win despite the heat he's taking now. But that's the only good that can come out of this, and it's not looking at all promising right now.

(I apologize for the slow reply, but this thread moves fast!)

I'm not sure it would be perceived as a win for the Democrats. If they come to an agreement to resolve the ACA subsidy issues, the Republicans will simply say, "See, we negotiated just like we always said we would. There was never a need for the shutdown."

The desk in the White House at present has an embossed leather top surface. The Resolute desk does not.

He isn't even trying to hide it, though. The C&O desk is now in the office, and there's no second Resolute desk anywhere. He just plain stole it, and you know damned well nothing will ever be done about it.

If it's a replica as Trump claims, why does it have a plate on it and velvet ropes around it? or, for that matter, no gilding?

I don't know if the plate on it or the velvet ropes really prove anything. (A plate could be applied to a replica, and even replicas have some value so a need to keep people away using ropes is not that surprising.

(I'm not saying the one at Mar a Lardo is a replica for sure, just that we don't know have enough evidence either way.)

Someone should set it on fire just to see what happens. If its the real desk, the government probably wouldn't get it back anyways, and seeing it damaged would lead to an interesting response. (Do they charge the vandal with damaging the real desk? or just damaging a knock-off?

Everybody who actually bothered to know anything already knew what day it was, and why too, and probably doesn't need a fool's gold plaqueto remind them, you ignorant illiterate twat (obligatory "not you, Darat" appended). We don't need a bonespur cowboy to remind us how near we are again to end of the eleventh hour!

By the way, side note: My grandfather was a surgeon in the AEF at Avignon. When the armistice took effect, there was a tossing of helmets, and I still have a German helmet with the time and date pencilled in it, "11 AM, November 11, 1918"

Does he think they are solid gold rather than plaster with a covering of gold leaf, like every similar decoration dating back to the renaissance?

Trump shows Laura Ingraham the new White House with gold finishes: “You can’t imitate gold… this is not Home Depot stuff.”

Not necessarily plaster and gold leaf. Might be plastic!
That picture of the desk at Mar-a-Lago shows the same damn molding, over and over and over.

Who is this "we" you refer to, Donny? The USA? Because on 11 Nov, the USA won zero wars. In The Great War, it was an armistice, the fighting simply stopped. No victories, no losses that day. Just no more shooting.

Also, "we won everything that came before WW1"? Like...the US Civil War? Who were you fighting there?
