      On the day that the Trump took power
      Made the smart world feeling quite sour
      He pledges he’s done
      With the business he’s won
      But his sons still control the Trump Tower

      1. esǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

        Stop.
        – if you aren’t betterthan Moynsey, don’t start…
        – Look at this;

        Trumpity-Trump thinks he’s clever.
        He thinks we do too, but whatever
        He hasn’t a clue
        About what to do
        He never had any endeavour

        He won’t do a thing that he should
        What he WILL do won’t be to our good
        Despite his tricks and trolicks*
        He’s no more than an orange Bolshevik
        We should’ve shot him when we could.

        *sorry

          Imagine if I wasn’t drunk and on drugs, and deprived of sleep.
          Imagine if I gave a fupp.

          Sorry ladies, but as they say in France, ‘That’s life, mes amis’.
          I am not available.
          I try to not be so attractive. It’s a curse.

          I’ve always fpuping hated limericks
          Infantile poetry pedalled by thicks*
          It couldn’t be easier
          Nor lyrically sleazier
          Than a room full of trumpian hicks

          *sure I’m only slaggin’ :)

        I like the “Worst Swamp ever” sign.

        I saw this one on TV: “Keep your tiny hands off our rights”.

      1. esǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

        I was inspired by the album title of an album titled ‘The Infotainment Scan’ by The Fall.
        Does it matter to you?
        – It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll forget it tomorrow. I have other stuff to do.

      2. esǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

        Google it.
        If you get any results, tell me.

        I’m still recovering from being robbed of the idea of dubbing Trumpton.
        I’m going to buy a notebook… I’m going to write your stupid name in it..

        (Only messing. I couldn’t care less what you think.)

    1. esǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

      Too right…
      Way too far right…

      Look on the bright side… Most of us will still be alive when this is all over… I think…

    George Bush II…
    -Who ever thought we might ever want him back?

    Kanye for President in 2020, or else I give up.
    I’m serious. I’m tired of this ☆♥•★¿

    1. petey

      we don’t want bush 2 back, or 1 either.
      then again we basically had 4 terms of bush 2, so i dunno.

      1. realPolithicks

        “we basically had 4 terms of bush 2, ”

        Actually we didn’t, but you knew that already.

    Parts of Trump’s Energy plan, on the website he has hacked into:

    For too long, we’ve been held back by burdensome regulations on our energy industry. President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule.

    ….later….

    Lastly, our need for energy must go hand-in-hand with responsible stewardship of the environment. Protecting clean air and clean water, conserving our natural habitats, and preserving our natural reserves and resources will remain a high priority. President Trump will refocus the EPA on its essential mission of protecting our air and water.

    This reminds me of PM May’s speech – have the cake and eat it, too.

    1. esǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

      Me and you, formerlynotmarriedtoesǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq, we could be friends…
      …we could be lovers…
      … just sayin’….
      Baby.

      1. Formerly known as @ireland.com

        If opposites attract, we could but you usually go OTT. I think we will keep our distance.

    2. Kieran NYC

      He’s effing clueless

      Time for the rubber to hit the road. The morons who voted for him will suffer most.

      1. realPolithicks

        “The morons who voted for him will suffer most.”

        Just the opposite, those of us who didn’t vote for him will suffer the most. It’s already begun.

    1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

      I’ll be brilliant…

      Oh, sorry… You meant Lee Perry.
      – Yeah. He’ll probably be terrible, but still… How many of your favourites will still be going when they hit 80? Eh?
      And how many of them created Reggae, and Dub, and introduced Bob Marley & The Wailers to the rest of the world.
      How many?

      1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

        Yeah…
        …that’s what I thought, KrustyCusto.
        Go back to Starbucks, Galway…
        I hear they let you bring in your dog on a string these days.

        Go and buy a fish, you leper.
        No offence.

    2. Louis Lefronde

      I don’t know what’s worse, listening to Donald Trump or those horrible left-wing Guardian reading, Morning Star consuming whinging squibs moaning over the demise of their agenda to turn the west into a ‘Maoist Utopia’ of political correctness, socialism and affirmative action.

      It must really hurt that a crooked property developer and slum landlord occupies the White House and doesn’t give a toss about transgender millennial personality disorder (TMPD) or Femflange position quotas which reward non-entities with jobs they wouldn’t get in an open competition.

      Actually, now that I think of it I’d prefer to listen to the crook, at least he won’t moralise or try to condition you with ‘pinko propaganda’ learned from some deadbeat neo-communist at a fringe event hosted by a useless gang Trotskyites who haven’t learned that communist failed in 1989.

      1. Deluded

        Is that really all this about?
        That people make you feel bad when they talk about stuff? It’s not like a whole lot gets done!

      2. Nigel

        I think someone who mocked a country by pointing at an enviable GDP achieved through savage levels of sociopathic imperial exploitation that created the conditions for multiple famines, one of which that killed three million, already has an affinity for moral bankruptcy that makes them well suited to the new era of Trump. Though how anyone can ‘prefer’ to listen to that rat-mouth expel sentences as if they’re being squeezed straight out of his lower intestine is beyond me.

          1. Sheik Yahbouti

            Ah, Clampers, it is clear that you’re a ball of indignation over slights – real and imagined – and injustices perpetrated against you by the world (but mainly wimmin). We feel your pain. None of this, however, can excuse your stance on Trump and his cheer Leaders. Step back from the abyss and think.

        1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

          Calm down Nigel…
          – You’re as bad as the French fella.

          (You read it four times, but you still have to start again.. And you end up feeling stupider for trying.)

          1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

            @ Louis Le Fromage Frais

            Sorry for calling you French.
            It was uncalled for, but in all seriousness… You said it first.

            The women of your country, they are very nice.
            They are the nicest in your country.

            Le mot unjuste
            Je ne suis pas en accord Maman

            Nigel is at least coming from the right sort of place. See what I did there?

            Montreal Micky and Camp Pervert on the other hand – don’t know who they are. There is a “vive” le difference.

            Btw I don’t ” get ” The Fall – what is wrong with me?

        ‘Would you care to …’ is a pisstake of the French language, just in case any of you mistook my subtlety for 404 Page Not Found

    The Times (Ireland Edition)

    Tenant Tariffs:

    The body representing landlords has been reprimanded for threatening tenants with new charges after the introduction last year of rent caps.

    The Irish Property Owners Association said last month that it was considering measures, including withdrawal from state-sponsored rental schemes, after the government brought in “rent pressure zones”.

    Under competition law, trade associations are forbidden from co-ordinating the business conduct of members. The association, which represents about 5,000 landlords, has been ordered to retract the statement and never refer to its contents after an investigation by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.

    Look what the gougers are threatening. Good luck to um I say.

    Anyone getting rent increases ahead of the rent caps need to check the legality of it before paying up.

    1. Taanbuaagam

      Did you see the stuff today Anne about the lobbying of Noonan and co by the “funds industry”?

        1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

          Okay…
          Sleep well my lovely, and never ask yourself why you dropped that question mark at the end…
          …or was that intentional

        2. Taanbuaagam

          Its in the print edition but I’ll see if I can post one when I get the free online articles again

          1. Anne

            What is the heading of the article?

            Like the bold bit.. at the top. You know, not your gibberish, but from the article. What’s the heading? I’d get it myself, but I’m not psychic sally, ta.

          2. Taanbuaagam

            I don’t have it here in front of me
            But it was something like “Funds industry lobbied minister of finance ” and then in a sidebar there were several examples

          3. Anne

            This it?

            http://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/us-vulture-funds-lobbied-government-over-proposed-tax-changes-1.2945025

            Oaktree Capital, CarVal and Kennedy Wilson among those canvassing Noonan

            The State was subjected to deluge of lobbying from US vulture and property funds..
            Minister for Finance Michael Noonan signalled in April last year that he would consider legislative changes as he came under Opposition pressure over how local and overseas buyers had been using ultra tax-efficient Irish funds to avoid paying tax.

            Then, Deloitte approached the Department of Finance officials, seeking to set up a meeting for Kennedy Wilson, the Beverley Hills-based property company, which had led initial buyers of Irish property after the crash.

            Kennedy Wilson executives met the department a month later and followed up on October 6th, less than a week before the budget, with a letter to the Minister.

            “While some commentators have characterised the use of QIAIFs to hold Irish property by international investors as ‘an abuse’ the truth is that the current regime is very clear and well established for over 10 years,” said Peter Collins, Kennedy Wilson’s top Irish executive.

            Following up on some of the company’s pre-budget lobbying, Justin Bickle, Oaktree Capital’s top European executive wrote to the Department of Finance on November 23rd: “As a leading investment manager, we are answerable to our investors, who have already questioned the rationale for our ongoing activities generally in Ireland in light of the prospective tax changes.

            “Therefore, in addition to causing damage to Ireland’s reputation as a domicile for cross border investment in real estate, the draft Finance Bill will have serious negative consequences for the Irish funds industry outside of real estate investment, the aviation finance industry and the securitisation industry, all of which are areas in which we are active and all of which, we note, are central to the Irish Government’s strategy.”

            Minutes of a number of meetings with lobbyists show department officials concluded with the same line, acknowledging firms’ concerns and advising of “the nature of the current political landscape and the challenges it poses”.

            Great stuff altogether. I want to meet with Baldy about the 49% PAYE/PRSI and USC I’m paying.

          4. Anne

            This bit wasn’t from the article of course ..
            “Great stuff altogether. I want to meet with Baldy about the 49% PAYE/PRSI and USC I’m paying.”

    Imaginary goalposts.
    One – Nil.

    Go home, narcissists.
    You are our new winners.
    Everybody wins, but you came first.

  5. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

    The joke is…
    No, I’m sorry…
    You wouldn’t get it anyway…

    YOU are the jo…
    I’ve said too much…

    1. Sheik Yahbouti

      Sadly, you really have, upside down yoke. I’ve tried ignoring what goes on in the world because it’s distressing. However, ignoring it can’t work unless one becomes a hermit, as ultimately it affects all of us. Face this enormous ball of sh!te squarely – then maybe band together with others to try and change it?
