[Suitman]

Well, this thread has taken a turn towards the humorous!!
While everyone's mum's and dad's are beating each other up, I've snuck down to the local park to have a sneaky ciggie.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Save us a puff Suity.

Half a ciggie left mate.
You want it?

Is it Benson & Hedges?

 

[Suitman]

PJ's of course.
Anyway, I've gotta go and drag my 92 y.o. mum away from beating up Gary's mum.
I'll be back later.

Sure, but @Bandwagon wants a puff as well.

Be careful, my mum fights dirty.

Too slow.
You better go a check on your mum.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I think all political arguments should be solved through a mum fight.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Yeah, but my mum can beat up your mum.

Your mum couldn't beat an egg.

Are there rules? I mean, is biting off an ear allowed?

 

[Bandwagon]

Yeah, but my mum can beat up your mum.

My mum can beat up my dad, er I mean your dad too!

 

[Bandwagon]

Sure, but @Bandwagon wants a puff as well.

No bungers since January, I've still got a coupla tins of wee willys in the car, at $35 bucks a pop I can't bring myself to bin 'em.

I gave one pack to a good customer who smokes, and I gave another to the wife of the Thai food joints owner 'cause I saw her catching a sneaky one, and she gave me chocolates last xmas.

 

[Bandwagon]

My mum's got dementia onset, she'd beat up your mum then forget she'd done it and have to beat her up again.

Pall Mall.

I didn't post Trump's pardons for any other reason than to show the below merkin that clemency / pardons are not something that have just been plucked out of this POTUS's arse.

I cant see where Silverdale said they are a new thing.

He said Joe has gone to a new level by pardoning his son the qay he has .... and i agree. He has pardonned him for things he hasnt even been prosectuted for - for a 10yr period. Its dodgy as f**k. LOL

Dont get me wrong, it actually sounds like something you'd expect Trump might do at some point ..... only Trump doesnt have a pothead, loose son, so might never happen anyway.

Trump pardoned Kushner's ( his daughters Hubby ) Father.

Kushner is the father of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and a wealthy real estate executive who pleaded guilty years ago to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. Trump and the elder Kushner knew each other from real estate circles and their children were married in 2009.

Prosecutors allege that after Kushner discovered that his brother-in-law was cooperating with authorities, he hatched a revenge and intimidation scheme. They say he hired a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law, then arranged to have a secret recording of the encounter in a New Jersey motel room sent to his own sister, the man’s wife.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has called it “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes” he ever prosecuted as U.S. attorney.

New round of Trump clemency benefits Manafort, other allies

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday pardoned more than two dozen people, including former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law, in the latest wave of clemency to benefit longtime associates and supporters.

Why is this somehow not at the same level?

 

[Bandwagon]

Oh, and then made him an ambassador.

If that ain't the swampiest of swamp type shit, what the f**k is?

Trump doesn't just pardon them, he employs them, the cream of the crop, lol
