Trump: “So I launched a new cocktail called a Dark ‘n Stormy Daniels, but I had to take it off the market within a week…”
Obama: “Oh, why?”
Trump: “Apparently, it caused too many people to wake up with a financial hangover the next day…”

Think all these gents are secret service? Probably at least those on the aisle.

If this was Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise would be there made up as Mr. Bush.

“As President Carter returns to Plains, Georgia for his final resting place, we say goodbye in the words of the prophet Micah whom Jimmy so admired.

Until his final breath, he did justly, loved mercy, and walked humbly.

May God bless a great American, a dear friend, a good man.”

So Carter’s service was held on what would have been Nixon’s 112th birthday.

BTW Michelle Obama isn't there because she's on vacation. That is some BS.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah that’s fucked up.

Am I right? Mr Obama, just can’t sit still and shut up when seated in a crowd. Be it a funeral, an awards night, anything. He’s always seems the first to turn to someone and yap something.

Black Solemnity.

Word on the street is that she wasn't all-in on America in Carter's day. I guess she's not all-in today, either. Maybe there were eight or so years where she respected the country, for some reason.

Obama is 63 though looking older after his service; let's face it the other members of the club could fall off the twig anytime.

Who was the old woman, family member, who nodded off? That had us laughing.

I'm sure the US is perfectly happy with the fact that you are not a member.

Still not as happy as me, nothing could ever tempt me to be President/PM.

I wasn't referencing you being PM or president. I was saying I am happy that your opinion doesn't matter, electorally.

[AndyD]

Whose does for the next 4 years.
Its a done deal, only Trump matters. And Mr Musk, until they inevitably clash & fall out.

I am a long term fan of The USA, its world influence & foreign policies, though currently watching with some concern at their home affairs.

Hard to say because there’s inherent sample bias. Were shown videos of him chatting away with Trump or whomever, videos of him sitting quietly woth his hands in his lap don’t really go viral.

It's a shame there were no Republican Presidents there...

You can see W - almost. But the petty bitch cropped out Trump.

Bitter, perhaps?

And she is a headshot away from being the most powerful person in the world.
