Trump 2020 Campaign Sells $20 Fake Bricks To Mail To "Chuck And Nancy" Until They Cave On Wall Fundi

Here's a prototype of the red foam bricks the Trump campaign plans to start mailing to Pelosi and Schumer, as political advisers urge Trump to keep up the border wall fight. Each brick has a border security fact and a Trump campaign logo. w/@michaelcbender https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-team-split-on-border-wall-strategy-11547837237


LOL. Yet another racket from the criminal in chief... but I have to think it is satire, right?

Woman is refused a termination by Irish hospital just weeks after abortion was legalised, despite

the foetus showing a fatal abnormality

A woman in Ireland was denied an abortion despite the country recently passing legislation to make it legal.

The woman now plans to travel to England, a well trodden path for Irish woman, to get an abortion to terminate the fetus after it was found to be showing a 'fatal abnormality'.

The Coombe hospital, a leading maternity facility in Dublin, reportedly refused to terminate the pregnancy because it did not 'fall neatly' into a fatal foetal abnormality diagnosis.
------------
In a statement, National Women's Council of Ireland director Orla O'Connor said it is essential that 'complete clarity' is brought to the case, saying what happened 'has the potential [to cause] widespread anxiety for women in Ireland'.

Juxtaposition Extraordinaire



How the fuck do we deal with that bollocks?
January 15, 2019

Soooooo what happens now?

PM will win the vote of no confidence tomorrow
The deal will still not pass
Tusk has said come back into the fold
The far right still wants to push us off a cliff
The kinda of OK's want a different deal
The normal people want a new referendum
Corbyn is playing fuck wit games with our country

I predict the PM will still be in 'power' - other than that who the fuck knows? Do you?

PS - gotta love TM in the house tonight basically demanding the no confidence vote is done to her timescale.....just for amusement value - that was some funny shit

THIS is how you do it...



'So what you're saying is that I don't have freedom of speech? I can't say what I want to? Is that the concern?

'Did I commit a crime by expressing what I said?'


When the SS wannabee wankers rock up at your door...

Fucking marvellous!

Can you beat this brain fart?

I interviewed a chap from my alma mater for a job – different year and different degree so I did not know him back in the day. During our chat about the school he mentioned that his degree had been conferred by Margaret Thatcher. I responded that I could not remember who had conferred my degree but Maggie must have been after my time.

The other night I was telling my sister about the conversation to which she commented along the lines of – you did get your degree from Margaret Thatcher you idiot, I sat and watched you get it, Mum has photo’s somewhere.

So. The. First. Female. Prime. Minister. Gave. Me. My. Degree.

I shook hands with Maggie. I got given a piece of paper that demonstrated years of slog. And I had no recollection of it. At. All. Now I have been prompted I vaguely remember it but not in any meaningful way.

Seriously? I mean, how ridiculous is that? One might argue I blacked it our for a reason.... LOL - but really?

I challenge you to beat that brain fart!
