It's unbelievable ... How in this day and age are there not any cell phone videos of this incident?

Ryanair: 'Tinkerbell' thrown off flight at Stansted
A "disruptive fairy" forced delays on a Ryanair flight after armed police were called to remove him from the plane.

"Tinkerbell" and another passenger had caused trouble on the flight due to take off earlier from London Stansted Airport for Krakow, Poland.

He later said armed police had turned up and "one officer has adjusted the man's wings".

"Meanwhile, the man dressed as Bob the Builder has been exceptionally well behaved," he added.

I would dig up posts from summer 2016 about how LOL Trump is going to get curbstomped and anyone who says otherwise is delusional. But I'm lazy.

He lost the popular vote as expected by the RCP average.

If this country was normal, he wouldn't be President.

But this isn't 2016, bud. The ****ty results for republicans in their own districts speak for themselves.

Plus Trump's approval ratings are in the ****ter.

Here is an example of how bad things are for them right now:

Stuff like this should not happen. If Texas continues trending the way it is, in the long run republicans could be in serious trouble. Texas is a lot like Pete Wilson's California.

Sounds like just about every GOP congresscritter when asked about Trump's lies and racism.

This was posted at CFC by someone who saw it on ".Zuccbook" I think it sums it up best.

Liberals: “Can’t wait for this tape to drop of Trump saying the n-word. That’s gonna change [poop]. Omarosa really started something.”

*Tape drops of Trump saying the n-word repeatedly. Trump’s rating shoots up 8 points in the polls*

Liberals: “Oh what the [redacted]!?!? This isn’t the America I know!”

You can't be serious. Those stupid tapes are going to get him more votes.

He had less votes than Mitt Romney if I recall, you dullard.

You should be more worried about the ****ty results your party is racking up in red districts. Barely win a R+12 district in freaking Ohio by 0.9% (and that could still change) is a sign of what's to come in November. The GOP is going to get slaughtered in the midterms.

Trump, if he isn't in prison by 2020, is screwed and so is the GOP. You managed to piss off younger voters and energized democrats even in deep red districts. Deep red districts republicans are barely winning and even losing is a sign of the ****storm headed your way. I hope you ENJOY it.

Nope, nothing. You'll excuse me. I have to get going.

Interesting.
Perhaps some of you know that the Trump 2020-Campaign constantly is collecting money from people ... not only it is receiving money from big donors, but also constantly begging small donors (for example receipents of Newsletters) for small amounts of money.
Well, the newest Omarosa tape reveals that this money is also (mis-)used to pay generous amounts of hush money to former employees of the Trump WH who may have knowledge that could give Donnie bad PR if made public

I mean, f*ck that! The small donor money is supposed to be used to pay off porn stars and get others abortions! Why can't the man stick to norms?

An enemy of the people is trying to abolish the presidency.

Modifying the Constitution, a document so fundamentally flawed the original authors saw fit to amend it no fewer than ten times as soon as it was written, does not make one an enemy of the people.

[Proteus_MST]

Abolishing the presidency sounds like a good idea ... too much power in a single person ... what happens when an unfit person becomes PotUS is what we can see now

It makes more sense to vote for parties (and their program) in a parliament instead of voting for as person
