The Political Thread

[Arcadia]

I think there was someone recently .... But I can't remember who it was.

[Fantasy Lover]

Do you guys think he is talented in basketball? Look at his paper towel toss.

And way to go in whinning about budget to disaster survivors.

 

There are three things that I want out of media and public places now.

 

3. Selfie stick

2. Kardashians

1. You know who

I thought we have stopped talking about Voldemort years ago?

 

Also, I pity those guys. Catalania may have voted for independence but I doubt it will happen, to gain independence you need to be recognised by other EU states but that won't happen because they don't want to piss off Spain.

[Arcadia]

Trumpdemort.

[Fantasy Lover]

Voldemort was nowhere near as horrible, Trumpbridge is more fitting.

[Arcadia]

:D O god yessss, that's perfect! The petty little bully type! 

[Van Buren Supernova]

Is that a reference to.. Umbridge? I don't remember much of HP but it rings a bell.

 

Read in the news someone said White House now is adult day care.

And, still nobody fluential enough is willing to put a stop on the mess.

[Van Buren Supernova]

I'm trying to remember the last time someone challenges other for IQ test in playground. Eh. Never.

 

I hope they take up Mensa's offer but that is also like opening a blackhole.

If he loses, why are we trying to prove? There are countless time already that it's proven he doesn't know what he is talking about, although, it's more likely this is the kind of thing that would humiliate him more compared with making racist remarks and false claims that influence people's lives.

 

If he wins, good god, we will never hear the end of it, as ultimate self proclaimed proof that he is glorious and there is no amount of logic that could stop him from ego floating to stratosphere. And, there is actual possibility to this, as I've met actual moron with extraordinary IQ, and the damage of stupidity and delusion they could be much higher than average people which make me question the test.

 

So imagine if he won and all the craps the world would be subjected to. And that probably means Mensa is going to be disowned by potential number of members but the other guy, what's his face, how does he face the world? :p It's losing IQ test for Trumpbridge ffs.

 

And while we are on that, what should world leaders do nowadays? Challenging other leaders for arm wrestling, do a wedgie maybe?

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Here's a bit of fun from my favorite source of satire (so none of it is true even if we wish it were).

Or demonstrate that they are above such things, and act dignified? Nah, that's too much to ask.....

It is a reference to her. I found this picture of the IQ Test on tumblr Lol!

[Arcadia]

I don't think that word means what you think it means, Mr Trump.

[Fantasy Lover]

It's not the only thing that happened, they made it harder to get birth control https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/blog/breaking-house-votes-to-defund-planned-parenthood. Also, this is an actual headline adfghjkl http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/10/14/porn-publisher-larry-flynt-offers-10-million-dirt-impeach-donald/

[J.P.]

IQ as incompetence quotient?

 

The thing with Flynt is a farce itself, especially as it doesn't seem to have a real political background, but it would be funny if he succeeded.

[Surelock]

 

 

 

Wait so it isn't a joke?

[Van Buren Supernova]

It is a joke. Always a joke. Has been a joke for a year, but unfunny one, I'm still waiting for the punchline.

[Fantasy Lover]

His precindency is the punchline! Since we're talking about him, look what he said to a grieving widow https://www.inquisitr.com/4572104/trump-lied-potus-calls-ambushed-green-berets-widow-a-liar-and-the-internet-erupts-in-ferocious-anger/?utm_content=inf_11_3140_2&source=se&utm_source=se&utm_campaign=se&utm_medium=fb&tse_id=INF_a5aace90b81811e78240a3a6bbddd67d and in other news Catalonia finally declared independence only to be taken over by Spain http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41785292 couldn't help but think about this:

[Arcadia]

I don't know what to think about Catalonia, as my instinct is always that it's better to hang together than pull apart. But maybe Spain has a horrible, repressive government? I admit I know next to nothing about it.

[Fantasy Lover]

I've done some research and it seems Spain was horribly repressive towards Catalonia through the centuries, even going as far as forbidding them to speak and write in Catalan and banning several Catalan cultural traditions.

[Arcadia]

Ah. Like Britain with Ireland. *sigh* What is wrong with people? I still think there's a better way than to just turn our backs on each other, but perhaps I am too naïve. *sigh*

[Fantasy Lover]

I wouldn't know, I don't live there. Is that why the IRA was created?

 

Also, I don't get it either. I mean those are your neighbours, why do you hate them because they have a different language or culture? But then again, we've always hated other people because they're different and we can't seem to get rid of our prejudice and discrimination *sigh*

[Arcadia]

I guess that's at least part of what created the IRA. I think religion got snarled up in it, too, which never helps.

 

At the rate we're all going, the next thing you know the US will be declaring war on Canada.

This day is very important for Turkish people.

 

I am sad because Today Atatürk's death anniversary who is the founder of Turkish Republic.

 

We always miss him. He gave to women right to vote and stand for election. He founded laic-secular state.

 

We love him. We will always love Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

 

:'( 

 

P.S. Elon Musk came to Turkey/Ankara 2 days ago and he visited Atatürk's grave. Thank you Elon Musk.

Isn't the name Atatürk meaning "Father of Turks?"
 

The world made so many steps back in so many places… :(

It's true J.P. Completely is "Ancestor of Turks"

 

Yes, I know but I can't understand why.  :/

[Fantasy Lover]

At the rate we're all going, the next thing you know the US will be declaring war on Canada.

the only war that's going on is the war on Christmas, which isn't even a war, it's a bunch of people being pissed at the PC use of 'happy holidays' instead of 'merry Christmas' grow up already!

 

Some good news: Trump's transgender ban is blocked http://time.com/5002871/trump-bans-transgender-military-injunction/, his Twitter account was deleted for 11 minutes https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/11/02/trumps-twitter-account-was-temporarily-deactivated-due-to-human-error/?sw_bypass=true&utm_term=.0c442acb04a7 and impeachment procedure has started it will unlikely happen but I'm entertaining the thought http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-impeachment-house-democrats-congress-us-president-constitution-a8056611.html.
