My Apologies

[H2O Man]

I would like to offer my sincere apologies to the world for the raving lunatic's rant at the United Nations today. Despite my goal of never quoting George W. Bush, I am reminded of what he said after the felon's 2017 inaugural address: "That was some weird shit." Both speeches were authored by a tapeworm named Stephen Miller.

While I recognize the UN is far from perfect, I would hope they would unite to help America deliver the mad man to a forensic psychiatric cell in either a state of federal prison system.

Sincerely,
H2O Man

Sorry Everybody: An Apology to the World for the Re-election of George W. Bush by James Zetlen (1-Jan-2005) Paperback

My youngest son is on page 35.

[H2O Man]

22. Yes.

Election nights in 2000 and 2004 were terrible.

[electric_blue68]

32. Never Saw that. But remember the "I'm Sorry" signs w people photos on FB!

[cilla4progress]

2. Hear hear, dear H20 Man!

Couldn't they have turned their backs or walked out?

What must they think of us!

Painful...

[H2O Man]

23. Thank you.

I was thinking American farmers could have sold tomatoes there and made good money.

3. The steve miller and gwb connection is revealing here

We've come full circle, but now the world is seeing it as well. Something tells me that they won't be "charmed" like most of the people in the red states are.

[H2O Man]

24. It's unreal.

I had my son watch this with me today. Very early on, he cracked up laughing and said, "I've had enough!" and left.

4. they'll never get anywhere

...with those terrazzo floors.

[H2O Man]

25. You win!

The very best response possible! Thank you!

PS: How petty can one man be?

[returnee]

5. I add my apology as well. n/t

[H2O Man]

26. Thank you!

I had difficulty believing he would be such an obnoxious, flaming asshole at the UN.

[berniesandersmittens]

6. K&R

[H2O Man]

27. Thanks!

[rubbersole]

7. But, but don't forget "person, woman, man, camera, tv".

The doctors couldn't believe it. "Sir, how did you do that?"
Americans have known for a loooong time. Just not enough of us to stop this. And we're hoping for forgiveness (if the insane pos doesn't destroy the world first.) 🙏

[NJCher]

19. this is why

we all have to learn the hard way--their cluelessness.

But I'm not bitter. Nah.

[rubbersole]

21. "Bitter, party of one, your table is ready." 😜

[H2O Man]

28. Very well done!

If I remember correctly, these were huge, weight-lifting doctors with tears running down their cheeks.

[Grim Chieftain]

8. Excellent post

He is deeply impaired and not fit to govern.

K&R

[H2O Man]

29. Thanks.

I do not think he is competent to pour a glass of water.

9. Political pundit on CBC just now describing Trump as

"Cuckoo for cocoa puffs!"

[H2O Man]

30. Nice!

Thanks!

[ancianita]

10. Better. The UN can keep a close watch on trump make a referral against him to the I.C.C.;

even if we're not signatories, the ICC could still issue an arrest warrant, as it did with Vladimir Putin, whose country isn't a signatory, either. A UN referral to the ICC would get him even closer to other bad stuff besides a psychiatric cell.

11. Many of the UN representatives actually heard the speech through earphones from the interpreter

Correct me if I'm wrong, however ....

I believe the UN interpreters are given advance copies of speeches - any speech, not just Chump's - so they can give a proper interpretation without errors or hesitations. If that's the case, most UN representatives heard the actual speech, not Chump's crazy off-the-cuff ramblings.

It was just the native English-speakers who didn't need interpreters ... they're the ones who heard Chump's ravings because of the broken machine.

[swong19104]

13. I would imagine that

any and all attendees from all the various nations are fully fluent in English. Translators are probably only used when the speaker is speaking in his/her native tongue which is not that well known. And chances are, all speakers are quite fluent at speaking in English. It’s really just Americans who are incapable of learning another language. Practically everyone under the age of 30 outside the US are trilingual.

[róisín_dubh]

37. Brits are piss poor at languages

I don’t know a single white British person who speaks a second language, unless they have family members who do. Not one. The only exceptions to this are three academics who work on Latin America and Germany. Even my academic colleagues are profoundly monolingual.

[swong19104]

12. Maybe Trump might get a Nobel Peace Prize

By having the entire rest of the world unite as one to kick the US of A in the gonads until it coughs up the useless sputum that is Trump.

World peace by just tossing Trump into a live volcano. Of course, once dead, he’d be ineligible for any Nobel.

14. He truly is won-dumb -uk

[Godot51]

15. And so it was later...

... when the miller told his tale
that our faces at first just ghostly
turned a whiter shade of pale

[vanlassie]

20. Oh My God.

Chills.

[John1956PA]

31. The line is just Procol Harum's reference to "Canterbury Tales."

Nothing hair-raising.

[vanlassie]

36. Yes. But it's being used in a different context tonight.

Do you mind? 😐

[SalviaBlue]

33. Damn! Now I know why those lyrics seemed so important

60 years ago.

[BigmanPigman]

16. This was like a George Carlin stand-up comedy show

except Carlin was 100% correct. The tRump Show is not comedy which makes this even more of an abomination.

[Magoo48]

17. Well said. I'll sign onto that.

[stage left]

18. From your lips

to the ears of all the UN delegates. This guy is bat shit crazy.

[SalviaBlue]

34. I really do keep hoping that we will be rescued

by the reasonable, smart, good people in the world.

We are in trouble.

I’m looking for the helpers.

[EmmaLee E]

42. there will be no D-Day

To save us from our self-inflicted hell.

[Permanut]

35. I'm in.

You speak for millions.

[llmart]

38. Excellent post and K&R for this characterization...

"tapeworm named Stephen Miller". So perfect.

[iscooterliberally]

39. Ah...tapeworm... this reminds me of my childhood.

[Clouds Passing]

40. Thank you to the building maintenance people

41. If the speech was written by Miller

Then he should be sent to a mental institution. Trump should be sent to a remedial reading class. Maybe if he could read, he might learn something.... the he should be sent to a psychiatric ward.
