You’re doing it again; you made that huge jump, En Passant didn’t say that at all. The point really was how laughable it is to talk about morality when defending Trump. And, before that, I think Lardy’s initial observation was that great people like MLK, Tupac and so on get their brains blown to fuck but, somehow, noxious, solipsistic, deranged arseholes like Trump don’t. Neither of those say “shoot Trump in the face”.

FS Kenny, I'm doing my absolute best to appreciate your comments and not tar you as a 20 (odd) year old with no fuckin idea. Lard is bang on the money. Help us out here, think a bit, you're not daft, but this is not your best response.

Found a newer one on Twitter

The man is fucking toxic, his self serving self aggrandizing policies are now actually killing people. If he had just taken his 400m inheritance and pissed it all away fine, whatever. He didn't though, and thus wanting rid by whatever means, particularly in a humourous post on a forum is where 'morality' lies in this instance.

BRIAN’S ALIIIIIVE!!! 84 today

Yeh, that’s right, I’m ‘edgy’ for thinking Trump is an asshole. So that makes 95% of the world’s sane population edgy too, right? Go send some Californian water to the sea to stop the little fishies drowning.

Here's his RHLSTP for those that haven't seen/heard it (and have a spare hour & a bit). Strap yourself in.

What's the difference between a lentil and a chickpea? Trump has never had a lentil on his face!!

Yes, this is all accurate. Wisconsin was the outlier; Trump actually canceled campaign events there in the run-up to the election, as his own people didn't believe it to be in play. The polling looks fantastic for Biden, given how close we are to the election. Even if there's a margin of 2 points towards Trump that they aren't accounting for -- and supposedly FiveThirtyEight's model made changes this time around -- the fact remains that Biden is still up by about 7-8 points in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. If he just wins those 3, it's over. So Trump has to at least win one of those, plus defend several states where he's either down or it's a virtual dead heat. For example, if Trump loses Florida, it's over. If he loses Ohio (probably slightly more likely than Florida for Trump), it's over. We're 25 days away and Biden has almost a 10-point national lead. Unless there is an absolute bombshell coming, Biden is in a fantastic position, even with the Republicans doing everything they can to suppress the vote. Even if they get Amy Coney Barrett confirmed, is the Supreme Court really going to invalidate all mail-in/absentee voting? That's pretty much what it's going to take, and at that point the United States is no longer a constitutional republic. We just go straight to dictatorship. And at that point, I might have to stand on guard for thee!

The former goalkeeper of Swindon town football club Sam Burton has died aged 93 it has been announced. https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/2020/october/remembering-sam-burton-1926-2020/

I don’t think you get one as standard, I think you or a family member have to actually ask for one. And I would jolly well hope that any family of his have taken him off their birthday card list, as he’s a bad egg! Actually I just checked this, if you get state pension you don’t have to apply for a birthday card, they’ll get in touch with you. But if you don’t get a state pension then you have to ask. Fascinating.

Awwwww. A shadow of his former self.

It's too late for anyone else to enter themselves as a candidate now.

When is someone going to shoot this total cunt in the face? How can we live in a world where there are people who find it acceptable to shoot decent superstars like John Lennon, Martin Luther King, John F Kennedy, Gianni Versace, Tupac, Lots Of Other Rappers, Gandhi, Lee Harvey Oswald, Abraham Lincoln, and Jill Dando but nobody will turn this sack of shit’s brain into soup?

The polls weren’t that off actually. The polls were spot on for the popular vote and while Michigan and Pennsylvania averages said Clinton would win, they were within the margin of error. Only Wisconsin was really significantly off in the polls.

Been bored today with no work so some ideas for 2021. Not all DL worthy but I reckon all could obit so definitely DDP material at the very least.

Though the last one I can find is this from 2017. EDIT: Died 27 Jun 2022 (aged 94) That's 15. I'll do another 15 tonight. Anything to prevent this turning into another thread about Trump!

I’m 24. I know of Cat Stevens. Not all of us are ignorant to anything other than Calvin Harris or Stormzy. Anyway, have some Basildon’s finest. This is 6 years older than me, shock horror, and it’ll never not be brilliant.

Shame if DL miss out on that hit. Hope he can live through 20' and wait till he's back on the list.

Birth weight of 195? Must have absolutely destroyed his mom.
