      Well they don’t post any actual news about him here, so it’s nice to be reminded that he exists.

      Plus, politicians should be mocked. Politicians who act stupidly, doubly so.

      Yes, I very much do. Now he’s exercising his power they’re not funny or relevant.

        I hear ya… more cringey….
        I keep thinkin’… toys and pram, of the creators.

        Obama paying a lesser rate of tax than Trump, and Trump paying a higher tax rate than Bernie Sanders of all people shoulda been uber funny material for a gag…. but it was just tumbleweed.

        I LOL’d anyway.

          States disinterest in first post, then accounts for 50% of posts on the thread. You need to work harder on showing disinterest. Or not. Its hard to get apathy right.

          I LOL’d too. Especially as he hasn’t released his tax returns and we only have leaked one from 2005.

            Listrade, my dear, may I buy you an ice cream?

            That was wonderful. And I lol’d

            Bless him, though, if the worst brunt of Trump he has to bear is fake yawning at the lameness of the memes. Does he even realise that tax thing is clearly a meme in itself, I wonder?

            HAHA!

            You’re clutching mate :)

            Lame now means disinterested?

            Ever been to a football match and then come out and say that game was lame… does that mean you are no longer interested in the team you went to support?
            No, of course not.
            Just like my calling a running gag lame, does not mean I don’t like running gags just that this one is lame, as are many posted here on that theme of late.

            It’s not the latest returns, but it’s damn funny how it was released in an expectant scoop by MSNBCs Maddow and it turned out to be a lame flop of a story… come on, that was a damn funny anti-climax.
            http://www.gq.com/story/rachel-maddow-trump-taxes
            Trump 2005 tax rate: 25%
            Romney 2011 tax rate: 14.1%
            Sanders 2014 tax rate: 13.5%

            I was clutching to that bit where you actually state “makes a face of disinterest”.

            You know, clutching to actual words you have stated. You. Words you wrote. About disinterest in this.

          6. Nigel

            Nothing, Clamps. With your patronising tone and utter self-assurance, you’re much too clever to be taken in by fake news or memes or mis-use co-opted terms.

            Oh, and didn’t someone point out that was the year he married an immigrant, obliging him to present compliant tax record for that period? LOL! As if anyone would fall for such an obvious gambit!

            @LW disinterest in the lame joke …in the joke, in the bad meme like joke that was made.

            Talking about bad jokes comes after.

            Not sure what you are trying to prove with this statement – ” then accounts for 50% of posts on the thread. ”
            May I ask, how many of those responses are about the thing I’m not interested in?
            I’ll check…….
            Not the zebra, no.
            Not the +1 to Bisted, no.
            Not the response to Milly, no.
            Not the response to Bob….. or even Hoop…
            Just because they are in the thread does not mean I am specifically discussing the joke. More like discussing the problem of bad jokes.

            Try again.

      ‘Hmm…how do I whine about my Dear Leader being made fun of without looking like I’m his biggest Irish fan after Leo Sherlock? I know! I’ll just make out that the insults are boring! Yeah! Nobody will be able to accuse me of being a fan of the Dear Leader then. Gosh, I’m so smart.’

      1. Clampers Outside

        So, these are meant as just plain old insults now, not bad jokes.

        No Moyest. Not as smart as you like to think pet.

        And that ol’ chestnut, assuming to know I’m a fan of the Orange One, and then your attempts at mockery…… All the LOLs! for all the wrong reasons ….but they fade fast those LOLs, because your joke was lame and uninteresting.

    There was a wonderfully petty picture that emerged yesterday of Ivanka Trump’s neighbour enjoying watching a protest outside Trump’s DC home with a big glass of wine :)

      Have you a linky?

      I love this kind of thing. It’s sort of how I imagine my life might be if I had money and wine and enormous sense of entitlement.

          1. mildred st. meadowlark

            She is exactly who I would like to be.

            I would like an intense rivalry with my neighbour, also called mildred, and have her simultaneously be my BFF.

      2. Spaghetti Hoop

        She looks very familiar….is she an actor or something…I’ve seen her on the telly I know I have.

        1. Kieran Nice Young Chap

          She looks kinda like the mother Kardashian? Maybe they just have the same surgeon.
