US Trump - favourite facepalm moments

Sorry if i offend someone by posting this link (this clip is quite bizarre), but it's merely hilarious. Nevertheless, i don't care about the politics,- i just love listening to Randy Rainbow singing. He's a very intellegent singer with a great voice.:up:

What Happens When a Bad-Tempered, Distractible Doofus Runs an Empire?

Miranda Carter said:
About a decade ago, I published “George, Nicholas and Wilhelm: Three Royal Cousins and the Road to World War I,” a book that was, in part, about Kaiser Wilhelm, who is probably best known for being Queen Victoria’s first grandchild and for leading Germany into the First World War. Ever since Donald Trump started campaigning for President, the Kaiser has once again been on my mind—his personal failings, and the global fallout they led to.

Trump’s tweets were what first reminded me of the Kaiser. Wilhelm was a compulsive speechmaker who constantly strayed off script. Even his staff couldn’t stop him, though it tried, distributing copies of speeches to the German press before he’d actually given them. Unfortunately, the Austrian press printed the speeches as they were delivered, and the gaffes and insults soon circulated around Europe. “There is only one person who is master in this empire and I am not going to tolerate any other,” Wilhelm liked to say, even though Germany had a democratic assembly and political parties. (“I’m the only one that matters,” Trump has said.) The Kaiser reserved particular abuse for political parties that voted against his policies. “I regard every Social Democrat as an enemy of the Fatherland,” he said, and he denounced the German Socialist party as a “gang of traitors.” August Bebel, the Socialist party leader, said that every time the Kaiser opened his mouth, the party gained another hundred thousand votes.

... He ruled Germany until 1918, so we can say we have some kind of idea what happened and what it led to ...

I would speculate that this is slightly above Dump's earlier cost estimates, but then, who remembers all the pesky details ...
 
Bwahahahaha.:lol: This man made it again! (Maestro Ziikos).
This is an absolute sacrilege, but it's hilarious.:p

I think what he meant was that going to the Moon was part of the going-to-Mars project. It's a way of speaking.

Yea, I know. But a president should have some basic skills in the art of communication., so it was a face-palm moment

The comment was funny nonetheless...:p
 
Not so much a "facepalm moment", more of a wakeup call.

Hillary Clinton: "Classic Pattern" Of Fascist Takeover Is Happening Right Now In The United States

Hillary Clinton said:
So when I read a book like Madeline [Albright's "Fascism: A Warning"] and you want to just jump up and yell at points. Why didn't more people speak out? Where were the leaders? Where were the business leaders and the academic leaders and the press leaders? And for a million different reasons, in a lot of these settings, people were either not paying attention, or they had the unfortunately foolish idea that a Mussolini or a Hitler could be controlled.
