I know, it hardly seems possible does it but here you go.

Not only is it another racist comment about Elizabeth Warren but to do it at an event honouring Navajo veterans would beggars belief (if it weren’t Trump that is).

As for China - not just us but the world is listening to China.

I should have said Michael Flynn in my post above. I am not (thankfully) on first name terms with him!

Jalima1108 Fri 01-Dec-17 20:32:52

Do you think the end is in sight?

Or is he made of teflon?

whitewave Fri 01-Dec-17 21:01:37

No I don’t! The question is “would the republicans vote for impeachment”, and I can see no reason why they will.

The world is stuck with him

I don’t care if God himself had invited DT - it wouldn’t be right.

On the Last Leg, it has been suggested that we invite him here and then arrest him for incitement to hatred.
Then when they ask for him back we refuse, lock him up and forget where he is.

Impeachment to happen next week. Responsible for alt-right hatred.

Trump being deserted.

The links between Russia and trump are gradually being forged. “Slowly, slowly catch the monkey”

Interested to read that Obama strongly advised Trump not to let Flynn into the Whitehouse.

Obama is a giant compared to Trump.

I wonder why it took so long. Perhaps they'll have a look at his tax record at the same time.

It’s ‘softly, softly catchee monkey’ to be correct.

durhamjen Tue 05-Dec-17 17:46:00

Whitewave, it reminds me of my granddaughter slowly and quietly stalking a squirrel. Then a boy rushed past her and it ran away.

GracesGranMK2 Tue 05-Dec-17 17:49:01

Rather than putting others in their place it's always worth checking. Both “Slowly, slowly catch the monkey” and ‘softly, softly catchee monkey’ are correct.

Well GG those who can, contribute to the discussion in a meaningful way and those who can’t ..........

whitewave Tue 05-Dec-17 17:58:18

I had a quiet bet with myself about who would pick that up. I so wish I’d put money on it grin

I hope and pray it comes to something this time - a chance for the Americans to show they're not all as shallow and dishonest as this man and his followers.

whitewave Tue 05-Dec-17 18:17:55

fennel listening to some pundits the other evening, impeachment seems unlikely because it needs the republicans to call for impeachment and it is thought that it will never happen.

I wonder if his determination to move his Israeli embassy to Jerusalem will be his undoing?

Iam64 Wed 06-Dec-17 12:27:14

We can only hope Fennel, though my concern is could be the undoing of any hope of peace

Fennel Wed 06-Dec-17 12:57:36

As you say Lam, it would certainly put the cat among the pigeons sad.

Luckygirl Wed 06-Dec-17 13:28:45

This idiot believes in the politics of the kindergarten. When will the world be rid of this dangerous man? I cannot believe he has taken an action that will inflame the feelings of muslims around the world.

varian Wed 06-Dec-17 13:35:27

It is deliberately provocative. Is this a distraction from investigations in USA?

Iam64 Wed 06-Dec-17 18:21:32

Put simply, Trump needs to be the top news story daily and doesn't care how much trouble he causes to ensure that happens.
varian - it is so provocative and yes could well be a way of ensuring the headlines focus on things he'd rather ignore.
Its possibly the most idiotic, dangerous thing he's done to date.
