Meanwhile, pathetic Democrats will wring their hands on YouTube and pin their hopes on the mid-terms. They're not saying much about Mitch McConnell, are they?

Not much to say about him. He's alive, it seems, though barely. Can't be compelled to resign, and they don't need his vote that much.

But if it can be used as a stick to beat the Democrats with people will use it. Have you heard of Murc's law?

The widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics.
By attacking the Democrats for not blocking a tax bill that they unanimously opposed, you revealed yourself to be a firm believer in Murc's Law.

Have they done anything about the Kennedy Centre yet?

No.

Utterly pathetic.

Yes, they removed Trump's name from it.

Have they done anything about the Kennedy Centre yet?

No.

Utterly pathetic.

Yes, they removed Trump's name from it.

And have they removed the screens from it yet?

You mean the tarp that people are projecting images onto?

Donald Trump secretly swapped planes as he left a Nato summit in Turkey last month, as part of an elaborate ruse in response to a possible Iranian threat, US media report.

The US president boarded Air Force One in view of television cameras before being transported to a military aircraft with the help of a catering truck, the Washington Post said. Journalists and some White House staff on board did not know he had been smuggled out.

Officials told the BBC's US partner CBS News that the US had detected a credible Iranian threat to fire a missile at the plane. The White House has not confirmed the secret switch.

Trump had earlier said he was Iran's "number one target" during the summit in Ankara.

The clandestine manoeuvre came a day after the US renewed military strikes on Iran following a breakdown of negotiations between Washington and Tehran to end the war.

Trump had arrived in Turkey aboard a newer Boeing 747-8 donated by Qatar, but announced that he would leave on the old Air Force One "for old time's sake".

On 8 July, footage showed him boarding the presidential jet at Ankara airport. But according to the Washington Post, he was then secretly taken to a smaller C-32A military aircraft - a modified Boeing 757 often used by the vice-president - via a catering truck which had been elevated to plane level on the opposite side to where he had boarded.

A clever plan except observers noticed the loud eating noises coming out of the catering truck.

Reminds me of The Rutles* alluding fans by piling into one cab exiting the other side and getting into another.

It's the familiar upshot of these Presidents being up all night, playing with their phone and going on a social media rampage.

I blame the parents.
