United States Corrupt Twattery

Some couples have that sort of relationship.

Sounds fucking brilliant to me. How does one obtain said relationship?

 

[ECA]

Step 1. Be the President.
Step 2. Dick Bimbos.

Poundland. I have seen them on Jeremy Kyle when I was on the sick. You have hole tribes of them, seemingly not too fussy even if you are related half the time.

Surely part of your prescription to get better is to never, ever, watch Jeremy Kyle? Especially when you're sick. It'll give you brain diabetes and @Wij's bad aids.

 

[Raven]

Its one of those things that drags you in. You watch one and that's it. When you see some gap toothed matriarch screaming her warcry at some little, wingnutted scrote you just can't go back.

 

[Bodhi]

Oh come on, a couple of weeks ago they had a family of travellers doing a lie detector test to see who shat in the fridge. How can that not be entertaining?

Buffett Just Released His Own Tax Data to Hammer Trump

It came to pass a few weeks ago as well. Trump said he would release his tax returns after the audit was concluded, the IRS said "it's alright chum you can release them in the middle of an audit" and he still hasn't got a good reason to not do it.

I don't understand the $2.85 billion part.

Oh, Charity?

Hmm..

 

[Tom]

He's giving his fortune away to charitable causes. You can claim some of those donations against tax. Therefore, he still pays tax on his income, just not as much as he would if he didn't give to charity.

The idea being that giving to charity is a good thing, so why would the government not allow people to pay less tax? Of course if you're Donald Trump, rather than donating to your own foundation, you just get your mates to do it instead.

How Donald Trump Exploited Charity for Personal Gain

"For example: Trump once approached a New Jersey charity called the Charles Evans Foundation and asked them to donate to the Donald J. Trump Foundation, citing efforts to raise funds for the Palm Beach Police Foundation. “The Evans Foundation said yes,” Fahrenthold reported. “In 2009 and 2010, it gave a total of $150,000 to the Donald J. Trump Foundation, a small charity that the Republican presidential nominee founded in 1987. Then, Trump’s foundation turned around and made donations to the police group in South Florida. In those years, the Trump Foundation’s gifts totaled $150,000. Trump had effectively turned the Evans Foundation’s gifts into his own gifts, without adding any money of his own.”"

goddammit, so who pooed in the fridge?!?!?

 

[Wij]

Nearly finished watching the debate. Not sure how anyone could say Trump won this one. He was a disaster again.

You don't need to be a big Hillary fan to see which way this has to go unless you are mad. She is a normal polished politician on the standard spectrum of politics. He is a fucking maniac.

People gonna hate me for this but:

For the downwardly mobile, maybe it is.

40% of the daytime viewers make less than $20,000 a year, and 85% don’t have a college degree. ... “Regular viewers of daytime talk shows are less educated than the public as a whole. Among this group, just 19% have four year degrees, 26% have attended some college and 54% have a high school diploma or less education.”

So, on the whole thick people find it entertaining.

It's fucking disgusting television and I have a deep deep distaste for everything associated with it. If that makes me a snob then I'm a very happy man not to be in that Trump-supporting company.

 

[Raven]

Fucking hell man. Its gypos arguing about who shat in the fridge. Its golden.

I forced myself to watch it just to make sure.

I will never get back those two and a half minutes. The host is awful, the guests are awful, the audience is awful and the program is awful and it's simply not funny. It's moronic in the truest sense of the word.

moron
Psychology. (no longer in technical use; now considered offensive) a person of borderline intelligence in a former and discarded classification of mental retardation, having an intelligence quotient of 50 to 69.

You might as well play golf with that attitude, you elitist prick @Scouse

There's a difference between elitism and degrading yourself. Should I lie and say that sort of detestable shit shows humanity's best side?

 

[Ctuchik]

It's just plain old humiliation TV, like Big Brother, Jersey Shore, Bachelor, Dallas etc etc.....

And though 14% of 313 billion US citizens is still a hefty sum of 43,000,000

313 billion .....?

 

[DaGaffer]

I'm with Scouse on this one. Laughing at the proles TV demeans us all. Its barely better than than 18th century toffs going to Bedlam to laugh at the loonies.

 

[Job]

The presidential race is now beyond words...just time to sit back and watch it descend into Jerry Springer.

Except no one is forcing them on it, it's 15 mins of fame for most of them.

The fact they're socialised to think going on Jeremy Kyle is a good thing still speaks volumes about the state of society. If you're "poor white trash" (for want of a better description), then prostituting yourself on National TV might look like a decent option; chance for a bit of glamour in an otherwise shit life? check. Might get famous? check. Think there's nothing wrong with talking about shitting in a fridge on national TV because of zero education and poor socialisation? check.

And that's before you start looking at the presenters of these things; Jeremy Kyle is a bottom feeder; his bullshit righteous indignation about the n'er do wells who appear on his show turns my stomach. People in glass houses etc...

 

[Job]

Im far from convinced of the authenticity of the shows...my ex girlfriend was invited onto Trisha through a friend and was told to make up a story to go along with the theme.

Well I would attempt to watch some highbrow documentary about the corn laws or the teachings of Karl Marx, but sadly BBC Four doesn't start until 7.

Plus, it wouldn't involve anyone taking a shit in a fridge. And where would the fun in that be?

 

[Raven]

I think of it as social anthropology. These (literal) wastes of space go on a TV show to out each other for some nasty shit, in front of other wastes of space...for gratification and a short, sharp 15 minutes of fame. Half the time they really ought to be in a zoo.

You have to study them to understand them.

You can't even blame them for voting habits, I doubt any of them even know where their poling station is, let alone being registered to vote.

 

[Scouse]

S'okay @Bodhi, I guess there are absolutely zero other forms of more worthwhile, non-demeaning pursuits available over in Stoke. Such as reading a book/playing an instrument/having a wank/literally anything else.

There really is only no excuse for watching.

 

[Bodhi]

Well yes, but none if those activities involve trying to figure out who shat in the fridge? Unless there was a Hardy Boys book I missed - the Mystery of the Jobby in the Cheese Compartment.

 

[Anastasia]

Nope, pretty sure I've read em all and that rings no bells.
