She didn't laugh at his "little joke" about "wiretapping." He seems like the kind of person who would take offense and pout about something like that. Was that before or after the refusal to shake hands?

I am starting to think he is really working hard at destroying the country. In one day he managed to really offend the UK and annoy Germany. He is working to undermine the US's power in science, and pour money down the rats nest that is military spending, and making it so the next generation of smart, industrious immigrants will look a lot harder at Australia, Canada, or Europe instead of here.

dfresh, I've long suspected that the GOP is made up of people who believe so strongly in Grover Norquist's adage about how "The government should be shrunk down until it is small enough to be drowned in a bathtub," that they decided to go into politics to bring down the government from within. Can anyone deny that it doesn't make sense?
They're pretty much the living embodiment of that GK Chesterton quote I like. Quote:
Whereas Trump and the GOP...if they are Anarchists, they are of the nasty variety where they aren't opposed to oppressive -isms, so long as they apply to everyone who isn't them. |

Interesting to compare the leader of the Free World with orange lunatic currently in the White House.

Can someone tell me how to say "It squicked me out then but Wtf I wouldn't give for an awkward-ass backrub from that airhead schmuck George now" in German? (ETA - Because, damn you Google translate, as smart as you are, I think at the very least you're misplacing a hyphen: Es hat mich aber rausgeschmissen, aber Wtf würde ich nicht für einen ungeschickten Arsch-Backrub von diesem Airhead schmuck George jetzt geben.)

Damals fand ich es ekelig, aber verdammt, was würde ich heute nicht für einen Arschgrabscher von dem hohlköpfigen Knilch George geben!

A friend of mine some years back believed that libertarians (a certain strain of them, anyway) were people who believed they would be rich if the government weren't stealing all their money -- adding that if the ones who actually manage to get rich turn into conservatives. They still want the government off their own backs, but they want it strong enough to keep the rabble in line. Hence the authoritarian strain that comes from a large segment of the conservative movement these days. Last edited by E. Q. Taft; 20 March 2017 at 06:22 PM. |

English is a Germanic language - many of the root words are obvious. So, I see "Arschgrabscher", and think "Yeah, sooner or later, Trump will try to grab her arse, probably starting WWIII."

Everything just sounds so much more expressive in German!

I think to read Trump's body language you'd need to consult with a proctologist.

I feel embarrassed for America. The way he sat like a petulant child and refused to even acknowledge the request for a handshake was unbelievable. Maybe he was still embarrassed about the over-exuberant way he shook hands with Shinzō Abe a few weeks ago.

Years ago, I went with our (male) lead singer to book a job. When we had an agreement the bar owner wouldn't shake my hand because I was "a woman." Ugh, the more things change the more they remain.

If so, can I steal that quote? That's a great line; and all too accurate. |

Yes, that's what I meant to say and by all means feel free to use it.

That was my thought as well, Alarm. I wonder if more people are short circuiting his ridiculous handshake, and he is now embarrassed enough that he won't shake hands in public any more.
