A Real Nut Job ?

[mikey4444]

Is it only me that thinks that this rather silly and childish phrase shouldn't be used by a President of the USA ?

There was only one 'nut job' in that situation and so far he hasn't been fired!!

[Peter Pedant]

well it was a private phrase which was not designed to be repeated (by anyone outside the KGB)

if you recollect Nixon - by the time the tapes were published
90%of his time by the end was[had been] spent discussing how to get out of Watergate and around 50% had to be blooped because of expletives deleted....

Everyone apparently 'knows' about the 13 y o that Trump um didnt hump -I mean what would the tape about that show?
"Hey I'll you waaaat - look what Daddy's gart fer YOU !"
Girl ( for it is she ) Daddy - you Daddy to your third wife Ivarnka- you more like my grand daddy.
Trump: yeah but never mind baby - it is arl in working order
Girl Hey that looks like a (expletive deleted)only smaller.....

rest of tape lost in transcription

He just digs himself deeper and deeper in the ******
Now after initially denying it totally the White House lawyers have admitted they are starting to research the impeachment process

Impeachment can only be just over the horizon !

[aelmpvw]

it's the 62 million-odd americans that voted for him that worry me ...

[Peter Pedant]

Hey peachy !
that is you mikey - remember I am partially sighted - but I have been staring at the screen of Liberty (and Free Speech)

impeachment is miles away -cant see it at all on the horizon

all Trump has done is mooged - nowhere near high crimes and misdemeanours ( which dont have to be criminal acts by the way)

[Peter Pedant]

// close advisers to the President, including lawyer and surrogate Michael Cohen, visited the White House to discuss his need to hire personal attorneys for Trump.//

apparently lawyers advice to the President is NOT privileged under lawyer-client confidentiality as an office ( the president that is!) isnt a person or client in this context but an office of state
( if you recollect in this coutnry someone got their hands on the attorney generals advice to Bliar over the Iraq War)

[EDDIE51]

^ True PP but what was unthinkable just a week or so ago is now being actively considered . Some sources say his 'nut job' comments are the worst thing he has yet done and are possible reasons for impeachment.

mikey //Impeachment can only be just over the horizon !//

Wishful thinking ? but not a chance.

[Cloverjo]

Of course he shouldn't have said 'a nut job' but then he shouldn't have talked of 'grabbing women in the ...' Nothing he does or says surprises me any more.

[youngmafbog]

Nice lefty love in going on here I see,

Can't see any problem with the phrase, too many people get offended over nothing these days.

[EDDIE51]

Impeachment is nearer than most people think

The 'Nut Job' comments are a possible 'obstruction of Justice' which is one of the grounds for impeachment!

[Cloverjo]

I'm not offended by the phrase, I just think it's not something the leader of any country should say.
Who's having the 'lefty love-in'?

[youngmafbog]

Have you heard yourself? Get a grip.

[anneasquith]

This man is being " let loose " in Israel soon. :-(

[EDDIE51]

youngmafbog, You really do not understand the significance of Trump telling the Russians that his head of the CIA was mentally ill and that was why he dismissed him!

No the President of the United States should not use such silly and childish phrases and neither should ABers, and since you are one of the main offenders, perhaps you will change your ways mikey and cease using them.

[Islay]

AOG you accuse Mikey of using silly phrases?
Pot and kettle springs to mind!!

[Old_Geezer]

May not be a very professional phrase to use, but I can think of a lot worse. Another storm in a teacup.

/// AOG you accuse Mikey of using silly phrases? ///

To answer your question, yes.

/// Pot and kettle springs to
mind!! ///

Then don't just think about it, you go and mash that cup of tea if you feel you need one.
