2. Saw that earlier. Maybe there's hope for more people to open there eyes.

Someone posted something recently of an interview awhile back with a linguist I think it was. He didn’t really seem to get into trumps speech patterns so much as he pointed out he is still the same person he was when doing the apprentice. Unable too move beyond being a reality tv star. Didn’t really need to be told that, but it brought it into focus. It has one bag of tricks and even when it’s not working he’s unable to change gears.

3. John McWhorter, maybe? nt

4. I wasn't able

to follow that whole Brexit thing, and I don't know much about Boris Johnson. The only thing I keep stumbling over is the fact that our friends in the UK seem to have picked a Trump look alike. Wutzup with that?

But, I watched the Piers rant and I thoroughly enjoyed it. He looks like he can take the soon-to-follow bashing from Trump. Maybe the tide is turning?

5. Nope. 1) He's doing same thing others have done since Day 1: Asking that SHITLER become

somebody ELSE, exhibit admirable traits that he has no concept of or capacity for becoming. We've been hearing that line of thinking since the beginning - wanting SHITLER to "grow".

2) And Teh Piers never ceases from calling himself SHITLER's friend and here contradicts himself on different levels, namely decrying "politics" but then pivoting over to giving advice about "winning" in November, adopting the leadership traits JUST to "win in November" - uh, ain't that politics, and of the most cynical kind, just to WIN?!

3) Plus, Piers, the virus has not exposed SHITLER's atrocious Self. This is like Dennis MILLER and others claiming that they became wignuts because of 9/11. SHITLER was shitty before, is now, and always will be.


Oh, and it's a couple of days after Teh Piers's rant. Has there been any change for the better in SHITLER that we could credit Teh Piers with?!1

Sorry/not-sorry but Teh Piers has not had an eyes opening experience.


*******P.S. to O.P., sincere apology for intruding with a contrary view here, but I *did* try to air it out in my own thread and got flaming shredded, with the only Views being attributable to the Flame fest. Otherwise, zip.

6. Apparently continuing on British breakfast TV

I don't watch him, but bear in mind this is The Guardian's political sketch writer, who would normally despise Morgan (see the comment about "every bleeding-heart liberal" earlier in the piece):

How things change – Piers Morgan now the voice of the nation

...
What he does is not so much interview junior ministers – the government has wisely and determinedly kept all its big guns away from Morgan; ITV could clean up with Morgan v Priti Patel on pay-per-view – as harangue and shout at them with all the pent-up fury of someone who doesn’t understand why those in power aren’t more bothered that 1,000 additional people have died in the previous 24 hours. The best that any minister can hope for is to survive the barrage without post-traumatic stress disorder.
...
Over on Good Morning Britain, after a few warm-up punches from Susanna Reid – all of which took their toll – Morgan went in for the kill. First he asked how many NHS and care workers had died. “43,” Dowden said confidently.

Actually it was 80, said Morgan, illustrating his assertion by holding up a double-page spread from a morning paper that clearly the minister hadn’t been bothered to read.

Hell, it was early and it wasn’t like he had a serious job where it was his business to know the news. OK, Morgan continued. How many care home residents had died? “217,” Dowden replied. Er ... how about 7,500? Morgan said incredulously. Dowden looked like he might burst into tears.

That was only just for starters though. Dowden was pummelled and kicked with questions on everything from the government’s insistence it had been brilliantly prepared for the pandemic, to its selective use of scientific data and potentially life-threatening decision to allow the Cheltenham festival to go ahead on 16-19 March.
