Will the last person left in the White House, please turn out the lights when they leave ?

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

Mikey, I notice you love pointing out when the White House replaces its' staff. But curiously you don't seem to replicate the gleeful finger-pointing when a similar scenario (in fact much more farcical) is playing out over here in the UK.

Are you similarly outraged that 97 members of Jeremy Corbyn's front-bench have either been sacked or resigned since the leader of the opposition took office? That's a third of all Labour MP's! And you have the brass neck to point derisively at the USA.

I doubt there will be any lights left to turn off by the time Corbyn's revolving door grinds to a halt when he has run out of disillussioned Labour MP's.

Oh, and before you say it, no, I'm not changing the subject. It's right on cue, but perhaps just happens to be an "inconvenient truth", (as a failed Presidential contender once said.)

[mikey4444]

You are trying to change the subject Hazi !

But I didn't expect anything different from one of the AB Trumpettes !

[anneasquith]

Another resignation ...........

[mikey4444]

Yet another Anne....that revolving door at the rear of the White House hasn't been still for over 12 months now !

Please comment on Clinton and women who were allegedly molested and raped by him.

Get that bit right first, like: were the charges plausible? were they covered up? did Clinton and his wife collude using bribery and threat to dissuade "victims" from prosecuting their case?

Once you've got that bit right please proceed.

[Spicerack]

Don't be too hard on mikey. He was a big Hillary fan, bitterly disappointed that she didn't win.
I can't understand it either,
Was it the Russian Uranium Deal?
Was it Wikileaks?
Was it Podesta?
Was it Comey?
Was it having a sexual predator as a husband?
Was it Huma Abedin’s sexual predator husband Anthony Weiner?
Was it because the Clinton Foundation ripped off Haiti?
Was it subpoena violations?
Was it the congressional testimony lies?
Was it the corrupt Clinton Foundation?
Was it the Benghazi fiasco?
Was it pay for play?
Was it being recorded laughing because she got a child rapist off when she was an attorney?
Was it the Travel Gate scandal?
Was it the Whitewater scandal?
Was it the Cattle Gate scandal?
Was it the Trooper-Gate scandal?
OR…. Was it the $15 million for Chelsea’s apartment bought with foundation money?
Or her husband’s interference with Loretta Lynch & the investigation?
Or happily accepting the stolen debate questions given to her?
Or her own secret server in her house and disdain for classified information?
Or deleting 30,000 emails?
Or having cell phones destroyed with hammers?
Was it the Seth Rich murder?
Was it the Vince Foster murder?
Was it the Gennifer Flowers assault & settlement?
Was it the $800,000 Paula Jones settlement?
Was it calling half the United States deplorable?
Was it the underhanded treatment of Bernie Sanders?
Was it Bill’s impeachment?
Was it the lie about being under sniper fire in Bosnia?
Was it the $10 million she got for the pardon of Marc Rich?
Or the $6 BILLION she “lost” when in charge of the State Dept.?
Or because she is a hateful, lying, power-hungry, overly ambitious, greedy, nasty person?

He really should stick to interviewing CDEs about their reasons for voting Brexit and then recasting those views in the light of his own prejudices.

[vetuste_ennemi]

If you ask him nicely he will explain what a C or DE is.

[vetuste_ennemi]

We're not talking about the brightest and the best here, are we?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Or, far more importantly, the most honest.

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

Mikey, in your opinion, is replacing team members a sign of gross incompetence by the leadership, horrendous people skills, or simply the result of trying to run a dictatorship?

(Ignoring the fact that Corbyn has sacked or replaced a mere 97, yes, ninety-seven, of his frontbenchers as this would be "changing the subject").

[Deskdiary]

Tumbleweed rolls across AB where Mikey's response should be, but it is not particularly surprising as Mikey has a LOT of form for swerving uncomfortable points or questions.

[mikey4444]

The usual subject changing, from the Usual Suspects it seems !

[steg]

Corbyn, Clinton?
What have they got to do with it?

[douglas9401]

An anonymous commentator, speaking on behalf of the ghosts of Red Robbo and Degsy said 'I know you are, but what am I' finishing with a rousing 'No, I CAN'T see how ridiculous I'm starting to look'.

[steg]

Or even labour ?

[naomi24]

This post is what's known as scraping the barrel.

[mikey4444]

Steg....absolutely nothing ! But this is how The Trumpettes debate.

First, they try to denounce reports like this as "fake news"

If that doesn't work, and it rarely does, then the change the subject, by mentioning Labour or anybody else that have no bearing on the subject under discussion.

Secondly, in addition to the above, they attack the messenger on a personal basis.

Twas ever thus Steg !

[naomi24]

^That's what's known as shooting the messenger.

Mikey, what does this man's resignation have to do with anything? He hasn't been sacked and he hasn't resigned because of something connected to his job. What are you going on about?

[mikey4444]

Naomi.....he is just the latest important aide, close to Trump, who has gone. He jumped before he was pushed, and it shows yet again, Trumps poor choice when it comes to picking his staff.
