Big things are happening in the world of the Donald - almost every outlet has this breaking, as at the Graudian here, and BuzzFeed put the report up here, and a pdf of the report could be found for personal amusement and email transmission here.
But the pond can't be concerned with matters of moment, because the pond's beat is the Daily Terror, which started off this day with a celebrity smack-down ...
It is, of course, incredibly silly. A black marching band? Marching bands in the United States are a dime a dozen ... how desperate are things getting?
Never mind, it's a measure of the profound trivialisation of the debate, and the impending new presidency by Twitter, that Corinne Corinna somehow thinks it's meaningful to do a celebrity smack down ... as if what any celebrity thinks is some sort of measure of things ...
Okay, so now the pond will have to look for the line that makes its day ...
That'll probably mean looking past the hideous Meryl ...
Booking a black marching band does more for race relations than Obama managed in eight years?
Playing in a marching band is superior to holding down the Presidency for eight years?
Who is this addle-brained bimbo, this bubble-headed booby, this scribbler so eager to follow the Terrorist line she stumbles into a faraway tree land full of liberal-hating delusion?
Ah, an eminent contributor to journalism and spiffing front covers, not to mention all that magazine mayhem of arresting impact and jumping off the newsstand ... showing her chops at the Daily Snail before turning up at the Daily Terror ...
Of course the pond takes all this with a careful eye on what its reaction might mean ...
Oh dear, and there the pond was thinking we'd finished with cracker barrel philosophy and Christmas cracker insights for quite a while...
Actually the pond's perception is what it read, which wouldn't even be worth wrapping inside a fortune cookie ...
Never mind, we should finish off this astounding set of insights in good shape and order ...
Actually, if it's all the same, the pond prefers not to live in any chamber, though with a particular emphasis on not being in any chamber that Corinne Corinna infests.
The pond thought coverage of the Donald at the Terror had sunk to an all time low with little Timmie Bleagh, but as always, the pond is far too optimistic about humanity and the Terrorists ...
Well, in the search of actual substance, the lizard Oz also had a piece on the Trump this day, though it too was a little behind the latest Trumpian times ...
Uh huh, heel, leaders heel ...let the Twitter presidency begin to tweet. Get around behind Dusty ... there that easily fits inside 140 characters ...
Looking on the upside, at least when they're borrowing copy from The Times, the reptiles are only a half day behind ...
Coarse, vulgar? Oh this doesn't sound very much like Corinne Corinna ... yet it has to be said that Hugo Rifkind doesn't sound like a loving liberal ...
The rest of that story can be googled for an even deeper descent into nonsense, but spoiler alert, Rifkind picked up the 'spray him with mace' line by way of a 2006 Conan O'Brien joke ...
And so, with compass set correctly, it's time to finish off the rest of the current Rifkind ...
Phew, what on earth would Corinne Corinna say about this sort of scribbling?
There you go Corinne Corinna, just in case you're wondering ... here's your President, in your guts and in ours, as evoked in that staid, traditional Murdochian The Times ... to whom you should write when you hear the first Trumpian cuckoo sounding off in spring ...
So the queasiness continues.
Of course the pond understands the real cause of the problem ...
Or even worse ...
Try telling that, Gough, to great man Trump, or to his acolyte Corinne ... or even to Julie Bishop ...
Hi Dorothy,
ReplyDeleteWhilst not itching my sphincter is definitely twitching and that might be because the man who uttered this stream of consciousness back in July;
“Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”
…will soon be accompanied everywhere he goes by this;

A black marching band? Well it's nice that teh Donald appreciates that those coloured folks have natural rhythm...and who wouldn't want to be in that band?
ReplyDeleteWhat is up yonder I see?
Two little angels comin' a'ter me;
I want to jine the band,
I want to jine the band.
I want to jine the band.

In my not so humble opinion the British cartoonist Steve Bell says all that needs to be said about the new potty-mouthed pussy-grabber-in-chief.
