Not nearly the style of GHW Bush though Smile

Wikipedia wrote:George H. W. Bush vomiting incident

On January 8, 1992, about 8:20 p.m JST, U.S. President George H.W. Bush fainted after vomiting at a banquet hosted by the then Prime Minister of Japan, Kiichi Miyazawa. It is the only documented occurrence to date of a U.S. President vomiting on a foreign dignitary.

If there was a little more kicking and screaming it would look like she was being kidnapped.

Jimmy Fallon's genius is he can get along with anybody.

Democracy in a nutshell Nod

Donald Trump’s antics remind famed anthropologist Jane Goodall of the primates she spent decades studying in the wild.

“In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals,” Goodall told The Atlantic. “In order to impress rivals, males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks.”

Goodall added, “the more vigorous and imaginative the display, the faster the individual is likely to rise in the hierarchy, and the longer he is likely to maintain that position.”

I'm waiting for Trump's response with bated breath. Nod

Trump only reminds her of great apes. She's not saying he's more advanced than them. Just saying. Shrugging

by Mrs Figg Mon Sep 19, 2016 11:47 am

The great apes are kindly and civilised compared to Trump. They are wild animals with a million more times 'humanity' than that creep.

This sort of belongs more in the "America is wacko" thread, but then, most of this election thread does. But oh, is it worth watching. Nod

I do wonder if someone tipped Trump off about the Hillary health thing or if it's just a case of flinging so much shit at a wall that one piece was bound to stick.

by halfwise Mon Sep 26, 2016 5:57 pm

The Trump/Clinton debate has the possibility to be among the most watched television events in history. Nearly every channel is carrying them: don't think I've seen that amount of media saturation since 9/11.

A rain of raisins.. errr.. reasons

by Mrs Figg Mon Sep 26, 2016 8:22 pm

this is going to be interesting.

by Eldorion Mon Sep 26, 2016 10:44 pm

I feel compelled to at least try to watch the debate, like it's part of my civic duty to be an informed voter, but I've already put enough thought into it to know who I'm voting for (which wasn't the most challenging decision this cycle Razz

) so I'll probably bail early and maybe watch highlights later.

by halfwise Tue Sep 27, 2016 2:02 am

I couldn't imagine NOT watching it. It's sort of like watching the superbowl in evening news highlights.

by Bluebottle Tue Sep 27, 2016 2:05 am

Well.. I wouldn't watch a train crashing either..

This is entertaining

by Eldorion Tue Sep 27, 2016 2:37 am

This is painful.

I found myself wishing Lester Holt had the microphone switch and had used it ruthlessly. Trump was especially egregious in ignoring him.

by bungobaggins Tue Sep 27, 2016 7:33 am

Didn't watch it. Don't want to watch it.
