There’s talk of Oprah running for president, by the looks of her it’ll be the first time in quite a while she’s actually done some running.
I’d imagine on the campaign trail she’s going to have to confront the rumours once and for all that she’s a fur trader too.It would be the Marxist virtue signalling quintet ; an obese , gay, black, Woman candidate.
Made a minor adjustment there.
If she ran against Trump I think that would pretty much guarantee him a second term.
Yep, if she doesn’t run as a Democrat it would split the vote in the left, and if she did she’s not going to be popular enough with people that disagree with her politics.
Given this is the kind of nonsense the DNC tweets I wouldn't rule her out of running as a Democrat.

I’d vote for a nutless monkey over her.

At least we know how firmly Democrats hold their conviction about having qualified, experienced people as President.

I see Trump is at it again with tweeting 'alternate facts', this time about the new US Embassy in London.
He really doesn't care about truth does he, just his version of it?
It was Bush not Obama that signed off on the new Embassy deal and far from being a waste of money they did such a good deal that they have effectively swapped outdated and difficult to secure premises for a brand new purpose built building with change.
But hey, let's not let facts get in a way of bullshit.

@catogrande Ha, usually due to an inferiority complex about something (like hand size)
-
The latest controversy surrounds Trump’s alleged use of the term “ shithole countries” during a meeting at the White House about immigration. To be honest I have some sympathy with him here. Whether or not he used the term, it was in a private meeting and it really ought to stay that way.

I am not avoiding the question I am laughing at the absurdity of it.
Becoming president is not an accomplishment. .. lolA novice running in what was called the most competitive GOP primary ever defeated FIVE governors, NINE senators... and ONE brain surgeon. In the general, he was outspent 2-to-1, slimed by the media and his own party, but, yeah, “not an accomplishment.” Anybody could have done it. Right-place, right-time, etc.
-
Pretty sure Obama called Libya a shithole and media didn’t lose their marbles. But it’s Trump Dederangement Syndrome, and he might have said a nasty swear word in a private conversation that was never intended for public consumption, so... it’ll be the outraged headline news for the weekend. Sad & deplorable.
-
Been mentioned by others but bears repeating... Hollywood virtue-signallers said before the 2016 election that if Trump won they were moving to Canada, which is about 50x farther away from Beverly Hills than the southern border of Mexico is, and a farck of a lot colder! The unspoken-but-obvious inference here is that maybe a lot of leftist celebrities are racist? Or maybe they’d just prefer to not have to live & work in there? And if some of these third-world paradises aren’t in-fact shitholes, then these leftist celebrities should theoretically have no objection to illegal immigrants being returned.

It’s bullshit for the democrats to talk impeachment over a private comment but a comment from one source saying Africa is shit doesn’t really mean much.

Port au Prince isn’t in Africa , let’s not get our shitholes confused.

Anyone with a brain knows that countries in Africa are shitholes. All this faux outrage is hilarious. This will win Trump support.

Just absurd, it's not even an opinion. That those countries are shitholes is an objective fact. Surely people aren't stupid enough to buy into that - if you think that's offensive then you are a dishonest piston wristed gibbon.
-
so if they aren't shithole countries then there should be no reason not to deport illegal immigrants back there right? I mean while everyone is pontificating how amazing these places are.
I'm pretty sure Trump's just pulled a 'Homer' (Simpsons ref) here, but you can see where the '3D chess master manipulator' argument can come from.
