    Ohhh the tears! …The utter devastation, …the uncontrollable anguish of this unbearable outcome.- …The thought of all those wonderful ‘stars’ and ‘celebrities’ now leaving their country. How can we be unburdened by what as been?

    It’s very rare that I can say this, – but it’s really been an absolutely joyous morning reading the headlines and watching and news reports from he UK’s bBBC, ITV, Sky News etc.. with their horrified retorts and their bitter disappointment.

    Go Trump MAGA!!!

    The first documented case of a woman using the Sarco “suicide pod” in Switzerland has taken a new turn. An autopsy reportedly found strangulation marks on her neck, sparking speculations about her death. This has led to questions about a possible equipment malfunction or interference, according to the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant.

    TOADY Watch #1 – oh! and are the BBC noses put out of joint!

    A Trump victory is worth it just for that. I don’t really warm to the guy as he isn’t as smooth as Bush Senior nor Ronnie Reagan or as definitely Christian as Jimmy Carter. Trump supports Christians and is a friend to Israel. Apparently Kamala (rhymes with ‘Pamela’) Harris said some really bad things about Christianity and Christians recently. I need to verify that so don’t take it as true becuase it came from a friend of a friend at church.

    But I do like the fact that Socialists, like the BBC, are going to have to suck up the fact of four more years of Donald Trump. 🙂 I guess the BBC will spend the next four years telling me DJT cannot run again.

      I seem to recall a distant memory of the BBC and others bemoaning that Obama couldn’t stand again.

      Even suggesting rule changes because of his popularity.

      I wonder if they’ll do the same for Trump?

      @Up2 – We don’t need “smooth”. Smooth got us into the mess where we are.
      We need rough, rough as hell, a scrapper, and slightly mad to take on the huge demonic forces lined up against him.
      And Trump is just the man.

      @Up2 – Perhaps you’re referring to Kamala’s insulting remarks to some Christians that they’d “come to the wrong rally”.

      Not to mention her fanatically pro-abortion stance.

    I know it was on Channel 4, but it was glorious to see Maitlis kicked off her own show for swearing (at Trump’s victory).

    It just goes to show the sort that the ‘unbiased’ BBC employ on their political programmes.

    Amazing that Trump managed to win with the media vehemently against him. And the assassination attempts, of course.

    Oh. And I hope Trump sues James O’Shithead for calling him a rapist.

    Bring on the meltdowns. Enjoyed that MNBC bint’s tantrum.

    Keep ’em coming.

    This morning
    PM questions- Kemi Badenoch has congratulated Pr Trump and…… asked if Lammy has taken an oppourtunity to apologise to Trump for his former “derogatory and scatological references”. She quoted some of Lammy’s language and asked TTK if Lammy has not apologised, will the PM do so on his behalf?

    Staliner did the shuffle, leaving the question unanswered. Badenoch was assertive and pressed the issue again. This was good because she didn’t let it drop. He still avoided giving an answer but Lammy sat there squirming & embarrassed. He can avoid reading social-media posts and ignore the public’s viewpoint but she confronted him face to face.

    If I saw her, I would thank her for doing so.

    How Trump pulled off an incredible comeback
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly2818j7rko

    Who said, other than you bbc, it was a comeback. Most of the public knew but your propaganda tried to put a spin on the truth

    Quote..
    Most of the voters I spoke to during the course of this campaign said they wished he would “shut his potty mouth” Guess if the majority of voters you ask are lefties you’ll probably get that sort of response. Try being honest and unbiased bbc for a change

    Apologies to AsISeeit, the following is a frank summary via the Mail of the media bias, unprofessionalism and unrestrained fury last night:

    Paywalled so annotated below for all to ENJOY !!

    “Susanna Reid wore the very face of thunder – while on Channel 4 it was the Meltdown Maitlis Show.

    Broadcasters on both sides of the Atlantic accepted Donald Trump’s victory with as much grace as cats swallowing paraffin to remove a fur ball.

    As it became clear that the former president was romping to victory their tone soured from initial confidence in a Democrat win to one of pouting petulance. We had more moues than a dairy farmyard.
    ITV’s Susanna Reid, normally such a shiny sausage, wore the very face of thunder. Her co-presenter Ed Balls got into a spat with Hollywood Trump supporter Rob Schneider, who returned fire with gusto.
    Mr Schneider said he had heard some anti-Trump off-mike banter between the Good Morning Britain duo. ‘For goodness’ sake, Rob, move on,’ said an embarrassed Balls. Mr Schneider: ‘You guys move on! He has a mandate.’

    Over at Channel 4 it was the ‘Meltdown Maitlis Show’. Election-night coverage there was being fronted by Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Emily Maitlis but little Krishnan was soon on his own after a distraught Maitlis had to be shown to a padded cell and given soothing medicaments.
    Guru-Murthy was forced to tell his co-presenter to ‘stop swearing’.
    In earlier exchanges, when a Harris win was still on the cards, Maitlis had tossed her mane from side to side and become decidedly dismissive of former prime minister Boris Johnson, who defended Mr Trump and called him a friend. Maitlis’s eyes boinged out on springs at that.
    ‘When did you last speak to Donald Trump?’ asked Guru-Murthy, in the tone of a barrister asking an accomplice when he last saw a murder suspect. When Mr Johnson said he would happily leave his daughter in the same room as Mr Trump, Maitlis and Guru-Murthy gasped.
    Sean Spicer, a former Trump White House spokesman, was asked for his views but before he could say much he was interrupted and accused of factual inaccuracies by Maitlis. Mr Spicer stood for no nonsense and told her: ‘You’re lying. It’s you that just lied to the viewers.’

    Meanwhile the US election map was turning Republican red and MSNBC commentator Joy Reid snapped that Trump would bring in ‘extremist, Right-wing, fascist-type government’. The F-word was everywhere. Even nice Tom Bradby on ITV used it.

    Even spikier language was used by Cardi B, a celebrity rap musician who had starred at one of Kamala Harris’s closing campaign rallies. When one of her social-media followers enquired if she would be attending Mr Trump’s presidential inauguration, Ms B replied: ‘I swear to God I’m gonna f*** you up, get away from me! I’m sick of you! Burn your f***ing hats motherf***er’.

    This was the same Cardi B who before voting day had reacted crossly to opinion polls that suggested Ms Harris was trailing in certain southern states. ‘This,’ she averred, ‘is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes.’ The video remark was later deleted but it may be harder to remove the acidic taste it left.
    In the land of podcast self-styled grandees, Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart went rigid – backs as stiff as broomsticks – as the results swung Mr Trump’s way.

    Both men had been full of pro-Kamala confidence on social media earlier, Mr Stewart attacking proper media stars such as Andrew Neil and claiming that they were talking up Mr Trump’s chances simply to create suspense.
    So confident was Remainer Rory that he bet a substantial sum on a Harris victory and said he would have made it £100,000 had he been allowed. Bang goes the advance for his next book.
    While Messrs Campbell and Stewart resembled Statler and Waldorf from the Muppet Show, the grief was more restrained, though still palpable, at the BBC.

    Co-host John Kay was doing a lot of blinking behind his Harold Lloyd spectacles and after Mr Trump’s victory speech there was a discussion not of the future but of the president’s numerous past faults.
    Kay’s co-anchor Sumi Somaskanda looked as if she had swallowed an iffy sardine. Caitriona Perry may have worn a blinding yellow dress but her manner was anything but sunny.

    On the notoriously anti-Trump CNN each new Republican advance win was met with flexed jaws and a faint hint of disappointment. Jake Tapper looked fit to kick the nearest waste paper bin. Some claimed to have spotted tears in the eyes of political analyst Van Jones but it was hard to be sure, there was so much smoke rising from his grinding teeth.

    And in the la-la world of X, formerly Twitter, electoral sage and sometime television star Carol Vorderman greeted the new Trumpian dawn by ranting about ‘Right-wing hatred’ and predicting economic disaster for Britain.

    Only hours earlier the same Mystic Meg had been confidently predicting a Harris landslide and a prison sentence for Mr Trump. You had to be an idiot – or the now impoverished Rory Stewart – to believe her.”

    Pmqs ( bbc cut away with 10 minutes left so they don’t care )

    Kemi asked the great leader if he would invite president trump to parliament – no reply .

    Would the great leader apologise for the mouth of his foreign secretary called president trump a whole list of insults ? No reply .

    The great leader wouldn’t even comment on the racial attack on Kemi by Dawn worshername …

    When I hear / see the great leader now I see Corbin …

    As for the BBC – black armbands – no sign of the likes of Myrie or naughty or the host of Trump haters ….

    What he need now is the comments of the dolt Biden and Harris ….

    So many legal opportunities for Trump with the slander, libel and general abuse flying around from the far left far and wide.

    Maybe Lammy and his mob including Khan can be banned from travelling to the US as potential insurrectionists with their language about a democratically elected president.

    And, of course, a personal insult to all who voted Republican surely, which is the vast majority of the USA.

      I will be complaining to C4 and Ofcom if fobbed off, even before this she was attacking someone on the show continually interrupting him and calling him a liar, everytime he tried to answer she would cut him off, he showed remarkable restraint to someone who was treating him with contempt.

      A quiet word in the ear not good enough this time, like Jo Brand the acid attacker and the Munchetty sniggering at the British flag. Enough is enough with this shower of shit.

        Made the mistake of switching to Shelagh Fogarty with a female pundit wondering whether Trump’s victory could be down to “the Tate effect” with young men.

        So we’re in for another 4yrs of the media still not getting it.

      What was it, long ago, that first attracted the BBC to hand Newsnight (home of O’Brien, Mason, etc) to deranged socialist harpie Emily Strumpet? Then Ch4 to reel her back in.

      The sequel to that Randy Andy movie will be fun.

    ……………………………

    Yes, according to BBC more than half of the homes in India lack toilet facilities. Traditionally, Indians believed that their home is a temple ( they still believe that) and impurity should not touch their homes. They believed that the place of cooking and the place of excreation shouldn’t be close by.22 Mar 2024

    I have had the most enjoyable morning since I cannot remember when at the lefty MSM response to the Trump victory. It is a joy to see their bitter twisted rhetoric exposed. With a bit of luck it will demonstrate to cretins like Starmer and Lammy who won despite a pitiful electoral turn out that their time is coming soon. Lammy in particular is a disgrace to the office of foreign secretary as he is of extremely limited intelligence and should be nowhere near Whitehall.

      A few have ‘moved on’, but hard to resist the ongoing reactions as they appear.

      What is funny is the mover-onners are trying to get back to sober analysis mode, presumably hoping that no one has noticed they are never right on anything.

      However, one area may yet stay inquiry free throughout the msm. What happened last time?

      https://x.com/zerohedge/status/1854144250562429081?s=61

      The lack of curiosity amongst the propaganda set will be telling.

      Meanwhile here Labour are still trying to claim they have a mandate to let Ed alone blow £Trillions on wangling podium at a WEF COP based on…. zippy.
