Tonight (probably already past but…) British TV Channel 4 is doing/has done something that, in honor of Trump’s state visit tomorrow, would embarrass Trump no end if he knew about it. So, let’s hope he doesn’t find out about it because there are no ketchup bottles to throw over there. But I’m certain the fat little thumbs would be screaming out curses on Truth Social. From AlterNet:
Ahead of President Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK on Tuesday, British TV network Channel 4, whose motto is “Channel 4 is Altogether Different. After all, what’s weird today is accepted tomorrow,” will air an entire night dedicated to Trump’s lies. The visit, according to the New York Times, is the biggest security operation in the nation since King Charles’s coronation, and is expected to be met with condemnation and, in some cases, British humor as seen in a Windsor Castle gift shop peddling Trump Epstein tea cups.
H0, h0, h0. Trump and Epstein tea cups. That is *priceless*. You *know* there’s going to be a lot of Trump Epstein going on there. Hopefully, the Trump orange baby balloon will make another appearance. The UK does Not Like Trump, and they have the chutzpah to show it often. With any luck, it will make the news over here. I can hardly wait!
The Channel 4 show, titled “Trump v The Truth,” is described as an “unbroken catalogue of over 100 falsehoods, distortions and inaccuracies uttered or written by the US President since taking office in January,” will run over “several hours,” and include “text-based fact-checks, which the network said will “offer viewers the truth behind the tweets, speeches and soundbites.” This, following the network’s airing of the second part of a three-part documentary, “The Donald Trump Show,” which “uses news footage from TV, podcasts and social media to tell the story of the last nine months of the presidency as an unfolding soap opera.” That soap opera will fold out in “Trump v The Truth” in the form of brutal fact checks, says Ian Katz, who oversees content for Channel 4.
Oh, yes, he’s going to find out about it, and he will be UN-HA-PPY. It will certainly make him scream in many different ways. There’s not a damn thing he can do about it except scream, as our laws don’t apply to the UK. And he’ll have to hold onto his “mad” until the visit is over. It’s not a good idea to trash Britain when you’re there on a state visit. Well, I hope he keeps his temper under control. He might not, because that’s Trump.
“Donald J Trump loves making history. So, on Wednesday, Channel 4 will do just that: we’ll show what we believe to be the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television. We hope it will remind viewers how disorientating and dangerous the world becomes when the most powerful man on earth shows little regard for the truth. And if President Trump cares to watch along after the state banquet, he may even clear up a few misconceptions.”
Yup. There’s going to be screaming. I hope we find out about it. That’s not something you do, again, on a state visit. I honestly don’t know what could happen. He’s probably not staying on his plane, so nothing to throw. That leaves only Truth Social. He may very well erupt. If so, it’s going to be highly embarrassing to him *and* us. Of course, we’ve known all along that Trump is an idiot. He’s proved it to the world. We’ll see what happens.
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thanks. Ursula
I too hope the huge Trump Baby Balloon makes an appearance. If the owner doesn’t want to permanently alter it then they should at least tape a sign (both to the back and front) of the diaper part with that wonderful descriptor the Scots came up with for Trump:
“Shitgibbon.” Or be even more colorful with a bit of added wordage describing the diaper as a shitgibbon container/collection device.
You would make it even better and I wish there was a way to get it to them. Oh, my, the burn, it hurts LOLOL!!!!!
I hope Channel 4 will put it somewhere on the net that I can reach this documentary. If there are lead-ins or comments from the broadcasters, I would LOVE to catch that. The British tongue-in-cheek/understatement should be highly entertaining!
they have more freedom of speech than we do now
I would buy a Trump/Epstein coffee mug or two, for use when hosting a social game of cards (here in Australia).
They would match the theme of the Trump toilet brush which I bought during his first term.
brown sauce, not ketchup.
I assure you that Trumpler will find ketchup bottles if and when he needs to loose a barrage of them at a nearby TV set. Ketchup exists in the UK (even in France too) but they call it, quite simply, red sauce.
It’s on Wednesday, Susan, & from 9pm to 3 in the morning (UK time) 🤣
