Been backed up now by a Fox News journalist as well. It could be quite damaging for him. Most stuff isn't, but stuff like this cuts through to his base, which is why they're expending so much effort denying it so strongly.Little waster wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 8:57 amInteresting that the Republican defence of Trump allegedly curling out a steaming log onto the graves of the US war-dead is:-
"Does that sound the sort of thing Trump would do?"
The answer to which will split exactly along party lines.

Re: US Election
Yes, but they are what are called "safe action" guns - with a long, heavy trigger pull, very much like a double action revolver, which traditionally has no safety catch.jimbob wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 7:26 pmYes, fumbling that could be interesting. Don't many handguns now come without safety catches?EACLucifer wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 5:22 pmAside from the obvious safety risks, what an utterly useless holster that is, it must take forever to draw the pistol compared to a conventional holster, and it makes it obvious to any ne'er-do-well who to shoot first if things do kick off.Vertigowooyay wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 4:32 pmWhat could possibly go wrong?

Re: US Election
More leaks - this time from a conversation between Trump and Theresa May
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/0 ... aid-trump/
It must be painful having to be diplomatic and respectful towards this chump even for someone as craven as May.

Re: US Election
Sheer f.cking fantasist. Same when he claimed he'd have rushed in at that school shooting "if he'd been there". I bet the US military is gutted that he missed the draft for Vietnam, he'd have won the war single-handedly.shpalman wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 10:15 amTrump himself has even spoken out in support of them. “I just wish I had time, I’d get on one of those boats, and I’d be carrying a flag also”FlammableFlower wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 9:45 amHadn't seen that before.

The big waves were caused by big boats going too fast and swamping (heh) the smaller boats.

If the people in small boats didn't want to get swamped they should have been in bigger boats.

And from what I understand, the weather conditions were near perfect, with 10kt winds, so it really was the fault of the inconsiderate idiots in the boats.Bird on a Fire wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 12:04 pmIt's a pretty perfect metaphor for US society.

Re: US Election
I'm really not going to check whether this photo is true. And it seems the smaller boats were swamped by selfish Trump supporters in larger boats. I think I could possibly shoehorn a metaphor in somewhere.
