What's in the water in USA?

I lived in South America for 3 years. It took me a while to realise why my sister's friends kept asking me if I'd seen any lions. Turns out my sister had been telling everybody that I was in South Africa.

One of my closest friends is a qualified teacher but has been unemployed and stuck in Britain for a while now. When I tried to persuade her to come to china, she said that she had been scared of Chinese people ever since watching Tenko as a girl. When I pointed out that was Japan, she shrugged. PoTAYto, poTARto.

I hope she doesn't get arrested for engaging in either pedantry or pedagogy with minors.

In case you didn't think the U.S. government was insane...this woman ran for President and was actually leading at one point.  Hope you can open it.




Michelle Bachmann Blames God For 9-11 And Benghazi


"Well, to be more accurate, she blames the American people for doing things that caused her concept of a god to get vewy, vewy angwy at us, and therefore made these things happen.

This from a former presidential candidate. This from a current member of the “House Intelligence Committee” – something that in itself makes the committee null and void. Calling terrorists attacks “God’s judgment” at a congressional prayer event goes beyond her normal bizarre and into the same realm as actual terrorists who are actually religious fanatics and believe that they have their god on their side.

How about that ol’ concept of separation of church and state? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?"

Why can't the USA be more like Italy - and elect porn stars instead of buffoons.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this is a porno still or not, but we did elect the guy on the left in 1980 and 84.

Time for a bump up.

What they gunna do? Wait for him to appear on the balcony of the Ecuadorean Embassy in the middle of London?

Well.... you have to admit that it would be newsworthy. 

And it would make the cover of Time.

Does it get any more uncouth than this?

arrogant dickhead!!

Not sure if painting the bullseye on his chest larger is such a good idea.

When the Christmas Island tourism board decided to promote its lovely juvenile boobies, it never thought it would have Facebook's pervert police on its case.

Merka is so quaint! I wonder how FB would respond to this headline.

Perhaps two blue tits may be acceptable.

I appreciate that conspiracy theories are hardly the preserve of the mentally stable, but I am becoming more and more convinced that Donald trump is a democrat plant whose mission is to destroy the Republican Party.

I'm not the only one.

One Republican state legislator in Florida doesn't think 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump is a legitimate GOP candidate and has stated more than once that Trump is a "phantom candidate." Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Miami) explained his reasoning by claiming Trump possibly could be a plot devised by the Democrats to make the GOP look bad.

Republican State senators tend to be right about things like this, so I'm feeling pretty confident.

Unfortunately, Curbelo seems to be the only other person to have seen through this.

Let's look at the evidence though.

1. Trump is good friends with the Clintons. As Curbelo notes, they were at his last wedding. Ok, statistically there's a good chance we'll all end up at one of his weddings eventually, but Trump has contributed a lot to the Clinton Foundation. The Clintons won't say a bad word about him.

2. In a 2004 interview with wolf Blitzer

BLITZER: Do you identify more as a Democrat or Republican?
TRUMP: Well, you'd be shocked if I said that in many cases I probably identify more as Democrat. And I think you'd probably be shocked...

BLITZER: On social issues?

TRUMP: You know, it's interesting, I've been now around long -- you know, I think of myself as a young guy, but I'm not so young anymore. And I've been around for a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...

if you read the rest of that interview, or any others from a while back, Trump comes across very differently. Maybe he has become a bloviating nutjob in recent years, or maybe its an act.

3. The democrats Achilles heel in this election was likely to be the Latin vote. Bush, Rubio (and unbelievably but true) Ted (o Canada) Cruz all have election strategies based on capturing the Latin vote. This has been somewhat undermined by Trump's rapist comments.

If you think he's caused havoc so far, wait until the debates start. As soon as he says something wildly offensive, the other people on the stage will have to make an immediate decision whether to alienate Trump's supporters by condemning his comments.

Genius.

If you give away too many plot points in advance, the World Political Entertainment Corporation will be paying you a visit.

Long story short, Republicans are mentally unstable.
