    The key there is "reported to have said". His ill-advised 'protestations', much like the bleach fiasco. are regularly and deliberately manipulated/misinterpreted and portrayed in the most negative light, by the anti-Trump/Republican, American (and British) media. That's what happens when you watch too much CNN or BBC news!!

    Show me a video of him saying those EXACT words, in the context suggested [minus any 'selective editing'], and I'll consider it then

    As far as I'm concerned, it's not an "attitude", simply the facts, and being unwilling to swallow as gospel every bit of negative publicity aimed at the man! It's called lateral thinking and being unwilling to be brainwashed by a rather obvious smear campaign [although admittedly aided often by his own stupidity]

    I know it's a joke isn't it? People just believe what they want to. If you're someone's enemy you can claim that you heard them say anything you want and all their other enemies will right away accept it as the truth without question. But say you heard one of their friends say something bad and immediately it's 'Oh they would never say that, you're making it up.'

    I sort of hope he does get in again even though he is a complete dick. It doesn't make any substantial difference to anything but will really piss off all the 'woke', 'progressive' types. Worth it just for that.

    The line between adult and child gets blurred. When my brothers and I were young people would come to see my parents, aunties, uncles, friends, they would sit and chat, we would never disturb them. We had no interest in disturbing them, there was nothing there for us. We entertained ourselves. Now if I go to my brothers we can't get 5 minutes to have a chat without the children bugging us, demanding attention. Just completely wrong.

    Personally I don't really like children which is why I never had any. They seem to be either dim and annoying or precocious and annoying. I'm very much from the 'seen and not heard' school, me.
    Pretty much describes my childhood, and that was fine by me.

    Meanwhile, a glimpse of Macca's next job:
