Essential Trump/Alt-Right Ridicule Thread

[cupid_stunt]

Rolling news coverage including the BBCs is trying to hype up the scene but so far protester turnout has been relatively pathetic so there is quite a gap between some of the press hyperbole and the actual scene.

I've found Sky News far better than the BBC News channel for years.

Now the BBC News channel has basically been taken over* by the commercial BBC World News TV channel**, I suspect they are far more interested in programming it aimed at the US market, where they make the most from advertising and subscription fees.

* They call it a merger, but that's bollocks IMO.
** Not to be confused with the BBC World Service radio operation, which isn't commercial.

I agree. The commentators currently on Sky seem far more informed than the beeb. Oh and they don't cut away for Carol and the weather during huge moments.

That's not been confirmed. And Sky are saying it's mandatory.

Then sky has got it wrong. A former DA said last night on one of the us news channels that mugshots at this stage are not mandatory. Especially if the person involved's likeness is widely recognised and well-known

 

[agricola]

Trump has formally been arrested

It's a bizarre situation where the 'perpetrator' is probably pushing to have one taken and widely circulated.

But I hope they don't.

Rudi Guallnai has crawled out of the woodwork on talking on GB news

Yeah trump's pushing hard for a mugshot for the very grifty reason that we all know he's doing it for.

I hope they exercise the option to decline the mugshot at this juncture. That will drive the Donald nuts

On the BBC news feed showing the door of the court there's a chap that looks like Obama standing waiting

Please let it be...

So do other news channels

Are all the news channels there then?

 

[Petcha]

I'm surprised his team are the ones who objected to having cameras in the courtroom

There's probably one or two at most inside the building, they are not allowed into the actual court, and all the others are taking feeds from them.

he not in control of the court process so does not want to appear weak wants to control the narrative for as long as possible to the documents are unsealed

 

[friedaweed]

No one's getting past Telly Savalas.

See that there, that's my facetious reply, flying right over your head

 

[Bingoman]

Who loves ya baby

 

[friedaweed]

Which one of the folk in the lobby do you think could be the shooter?

 

[friedaweed]

Those barriers didnt work did they. Telly went straight through.

American only shoot good presidents trump is quite safe

The times they are a changing...

 

[Bingoman]

Charges to be revealed shortly

 

[Spymaster]

This is such a fucking terrible move from anyone who doesn't want to see Trump back in the white house.

This is perfect for him. He must be over the moon. He can still be president even if he's convicted.

Disastrous move. This has all but guaranteed he'll be the next president of the USA, possibly under indictment!

Can't wait to see the charges.

They're reporting he paid money to porn magazines too.

But then again he got elected even after this. Which surely would scupper most candidates.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

May I be the first to offer my thoughts and prayers for the difficulties that Mr. Trump seems to find himself in due to no fault of his own.

 

[Nylock]

Hard to come across as the hard man when you're shaking like a shitting dog in front of the judge. Harder to get your bullshit version of events and the charges out before the actual ones make the news as well.

 

[Spymaster]

Right!

He got elected after the US electorate heard him talking about 'grabbing women by the pussy'.

How the fuck is this going to stop a repeat?

 

[Petcha]

What a fucking bizarre country. You can't enter the country if you've been found guilty of doing drugs (unless you're a 'Prince'). But you can be President even if found guilty of fraud (and surely one day sedition..)

Just weird.

 

[Nylock]

The only thing this circus has guaranteed is that he will be the republican nominee and that there will be a lot of post 2024 election strife as he may not get enough votes to get back into office..

Quoted for posterity.

A long wait for any such difficulties.
