US Elections and post-election V: A Trump that won't leave the room

[Cerys]

I want him to be fully aware of his eventual downfall.

Not going to lie - feeling quite satisfied right now.

shot under par now at the bar bemoaning diversity

[ajsmith2]

I won't be happy until both Scottish courses are nationalized and rewilded.

[Jackson K Pollock]

Karma! Lots and lots of it.

[Mr Eggs]

I won't be happy until both Scottish courses are nationalized and rewilded.

Get Alex Salmond to do it until he dies. Dressed as Trump.

I won't be happy until both Scottish courses are nationalized and rewilded.

And the newts return.

[Ferris]

Sheldon Adelson dead at 87.

I imagine this is far bigger news for congressional republicans than anything else going on, see below:

[Paul Calf]

Ah, there's plenty of other tightfisted, shrivelled, tax-dodging child abusers ready to step in and take his place.

Though that entry only covers about 1% of the $220 million he gave to Republicans this time round. I read somewhere that he has given them around $430 million in recent years, much of that to Trump, which convinced Trump that it was financially worth his while running for president.

[ajsmith2]

Maybe John Maus can step up his monetary contributions to cover for the loss.

[Thomas]

Just clicked into the livestream of Trump's upcoming speech at THE WALL. Currently playing over the loudspeakers is Bohemian Rhapsody.

EDIT: Now Elton John.

[Mister Six]

Now it's Candle in the Wind.

Trump likes the gayest music.

[Thomas]

Apparently Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' was playing at a recent MAGA rally. I reckon his staff must be taking the piss. He's asked for some sad-goodbye tunes and they've collated LGBT classics. They had him dancing to YMCA a few months ago.

[Zetetic]

It's certainly very hard to know how to take this in earnest:

Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

[Fambo Number Mive]

Billie Jean now.

[Thomas]

It looks as if they've set up at a spot on the border with the only continual metres of WALL they could find. His position at the lectern means he'll be blocking those big gaps down the way.

[Fambo Number Mive]

Looks like enough American flags for everyone to take one home with them.

[Buelligan]

Turd built a division, at huge cost, that doesn't even work. 

Someone should write a song about it.

[Zetetic]

Currently playing over the loudspeakers is Bohemian Rhapsody.

Think the playlist might only be 5 songs long.

[Thomas]

Yep, we've circled back round. Trump's going to enter vertically from the top of that crane, soaring earthward to the lyric 'I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all'.

EDIT: They cut Queen short, and switched to Billie Jean for his arrival.

DOUBLE-EDIT: Michael Jackson's he he he sounds like Bob Mortimer giggling.

Why though?

[Thomas]

Must think it's a cooler entrance tune than the suicidal operatics.

He's also laying the groundwork for when he refuses to pay child support for Barron.

the kid is not my son

[Astronaut Omens]

I doubt there's any thought at all gone into the choice of tunes, but "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" is a bit of a sinister pick in the context, eh? No doubt someone somewhere is going to take it as an instruction.

[Thomas]

Trump approaching the stage at THE WALL to the sound of 'Fortunate Son' - it's like a live Adam Curtis documentary.

[steve98]

I'd love to see a couple of fit Mexicans scale the fence behind him and just sit atop it (maybe swallowin' some beers) listening to his drivel.

[Urinal Cake]

Shit looks post-apocalyptic. You'd think they could find a meadow somewhere along the wall.

[Zetetic]

The way of insisting on what the audience is feeling is always interesting, I find.

[Paul Calf]

Presumably no-one has actually given their permission for this music to be used?

[Cold Meat Platter]

All in all, it's just an orange prick by a wall.
