I am baffled at the the fact that the conservatives or whatever they want to call themselves are saying Roseanne was fired for her "pro-Trump views" and why doesn't she have freedom of speech when the View, Bill Maher and jimmy Kimmel can say what they want? No, she was fired for making a racist tweet (and no ambien did not make her say that, shut the fuck up Roseanne) and she's more on the line of Kathy Griffin having a picture taken with a severed head of Trump.

They simply don't understand how freedom of speech works. It protects citizens from being punished by the government, they think it gives them the right to be racist assholes without repurcussions. These are the same people applauding the new NFL rules on kneeling and the irony is completely lost on them.

They seem to forget Roseanne butchered the National Anthem, spit and grabbed her crotch but yet they complain about NFL players kneeling when that is way MORE RESPECTFUL then she was. Now Samantha Bee is under fire for what she said about Ivanka Trump. I don't know how far in advance she tapes her show but it was really bad timing and while I don't disagree with her, I really wish she used better words.

Cunt is such a vulgar term and the precious american public’s cannot be exposed to it. The correct terminology is pussy, which should of course only be used in the context of grabbing women by the in any case!

Our president was voted out of his office this morning. Is this good or bad? I'm not familiar with Spanish politics.

Our president was voted out of his office this morning. Is this good or bad? I'm not familiar with Spanish politics. Depends on who you ask. I think it's great that a party that has several corruption cases opened and has been proved to have used illegal funds for their campaigns is kicked out of office. For others this is the end of the world because now we have a president that hasn't won an election and it's true that he needed the support of a lot of different parties to get the impeachment. The new goverment will have a lot of problems to get anything done because they don't have enough people on congress to pass anything on their own. I'm amazed at the amount of people who see the news, who knows how corrupt and rotten our political system is, and still think the old parties that created that corruption and ruined our country deserve to be in power.

How was the new president selected? Was he the Vice President? We call that situation a lame duck president. It's what would happen if Trump were removed from office. Pence wouldn't have the support to pass any legislation.

Pence wouldn't have the support to pass any legislation. I looked it up and realized I mixed up impeachment with motion of censure. Sorry, my English is limited when it comes to politics. Because it was a motion of censure the guy who led the petition to remove the president from his office (a guy from the opposition) became the new president the second he got enough votes to make the motion a reality. He has already swore his post in the presence of the king and, in theory, he could stay in power until the current political term ends (which would be in 2020), but he can also call for an election earlier. All members of goverment (the president, his vicepresident and his ministers) are out. They all lost their positions because the majority of Congress doesn't trust them to lead the country anymore. Right now we don't have a clue what he will do, the motion was last Friday, he hasn't even named new ministers yet. ETA: regarding the lame duck president situation, it could happen. He got the motion going because he had the support of every party in Congress except for two (the one they kicked out of the goverment and another one that is basically a younger version of the party they kicked out). But is one thing to get all those different parties to agree the current president has to go, and another one to get their support in other areas. The motion passed with 180 votes in favor and 168 against it, which shows how much pull those two parties have. Some experts are saying the new president will have to name ministers from other parties to get enough support to do anything, but so far we don't know what they're planning to do.

Melania's first public appearance in 27 days source Fart is going to the G7 summit and is leaving early because France is going to freeze him out and he pissed off both Canada and France with the tariffs. Considering he told Trudeau that Canada burnt down the WH in the War of 1812....

It's quick and sharp, rolls nicely off the tongue. Not to mention it's the perfect word to describe a Trump.

Apparently the foreign press likes the look of our new overlord. He is cute, but here nobody cares anymore because we've known him for years. He has named his ministers, most of them women. He's been acused of naming them to get votes for the next election (duh, dude has to start his campaign now) but their resumes are amazing.

The stories emerging about the detention of immigrants at the U.S border and the tearing apart of families and the missing children are awful. This is the kind of stuff you expect to read about in the run up to concentration camp situations in WWII, not in one of the supposedly most developed nations in the world in the present day. Utterly sickening

Is it wrong for me to wish he goes missing Singapore???
