Google is telling me that It was Dolly Parton. I thought it was Joan Rivers too. And it was a joke about herself. If I have one more facelift…
It is a good joke. I didn’t get it at first because I’m stupid. I get it now, and that’s pretty damn funny.
I saw another page where someone remembered it being Bob Hope, which is almost as unlikely as Dolly Parton. I’m fairly certain it was Joan Rivers, and it was definitely about Gloria Vanderbilt.
Not Bob Hope’s type of material at all.
It is, however, Trump’s type of material, and we shouldn’t be surprised if he starts taking credit for it. And it would make sense. At his age, chin-level is much easier to grab.
I would swear it was Phyllis Diller. Sounds like her.
So… now he’s cruelly gloating at the misfortune of an ally:
I’ll just quote here what I posted on my FB page:
"Just a reminder for those of you playing at home: France is an ALLY of the United States. In fact, the Franco-American alliance predates the very Constitution which this soggy diaper attempts to despoil on a daily basis. Good thing the French have too much taste and restraint to respond in kind.
I can only imagine if Twitter had been around in 2001, Jacques Chirac might’ve tweaked America with a tweet like this: “How is that FBI/CIA/NSA national security apparatus working out for the United States? After nearly 3,000 dead due to Arabian boxcutters, I guess not so well! In the meantime, France has gone to the top of all lists on the Security. Quel dommage!”"
What does “top of all lists on the Environment” even mean? What lists? The list of countries that want to destroy anything in the natural world that can’t immediately be turned into profit?
He’s also making shit up. There hasn’t been “18 weeks of rioting”. There has been 18 Saturdays where people have been demonstrating (mostly peacefully) and getting flashballs shot at them for their troubles, then going back to work. And in many places this has turned into a kind of community-building thing.
Here in Paris for example, our only “misfortune” is that sometimes the cops block off some of the subway stations - which, admittedly, did play havoc w/ some of my uni’s mock exams, which couldn’t really be re-scheduled so they were turned into home assignments. Oh the humanity ! Not sure how we can keep going at this rate. Truly we are a doomed country, on the fast lane to total annihilation.
Of course we’ve also been palming our collective faces pretty hard, pretty often at the government’s response. That’s a health care crisis, of a kind.
What *any *of this has to do with the Paris Accords, however, search me.
I’m glad to hear that things aren’t as bad as they might look like to the casual observer on the outside. 
However, the intent is the same, whether the “misfortune” is real or not. Trump wanted to gloat and mock at - again, I think it needs to be emphasized - an ALLY.
Well, yeah - that’s the other thing. Of course, it doesn’t even make any sense on its own terms. Just more mean-spirited gibberish…
Paris is in France. The Accords are of Paris. French Fries are from McDonald’s. Trump’s mom was Scottish. QED.
Paris is in Texas, Accords are made by Honda, Trumps Mom used clear plastic tape and the owl swims at midnight.
It all makes sense… If you’re Donald Trump.
GM isn’t good but must act quickly even tho other, better people are already coming.
:rolleyes:
What is it called… damn, it’s on the tip of my tongue… somebody help me here:
What’s it called again when the government decides to control the means of production?
Swift decisive action to save the American economy.
He’s losing it on Twitter today. Yes. More than usual.
Communism and/or Socialism.
Nitpick: According to Trump himself, his mother was Scotch.
I thought he didn’t drink.
Supposedly, Trump doesn’t, but he may snort Adderall.
Anyway, check out this video for a recap about how the “Scotch” view Trump.

About a minute into it, when Trump describes himself as Scotch, the correspondent yells: “It’s Scottish! You plonker!”
