1. I've seen it before and knew it was fake, but I love the King Charles one.

It captures The Dotard's boorishness and un-dignity so well.

[pat_k]

38. And speaking of the boor in Britain...

... It's a good time to revisit Nate White's response to the question "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” (2019)

2. Little Piggy

https://www.thebeatles.com/piggies

"Piggies" is a song by the Beatles, released in 1968 on their eponymous double album (commonly known as The White Album). It was written by George Harrison as social commentary on class and corporate greed.

Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in

In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking

(Instrumental)

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon

3. Love the first pic but it needs the pig snout.

[Boomerproud]

4. Wow! Take no prisoners!

Trivia: the line "What they need is a damned good whacking." was written/suggested by George's mum Louise. A lovely and spirited lady from what I've read.

8. Pigs - Three Different Ones

?si=1quAgUfQcK82rblr


Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry

Bus stop rat bag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry

Hey you, Whitehouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You got to stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry

11. Trump's eye versus pig's eye

I'll leave it to you to guess which is which, but if you can detect a soul behind the eye, that's obviously the pig.

(I've not known many pigs in my life, but those I've met were quite delightful and in no way deserve the comparison.)

[LAS14]

18. Excellent! nt

[ProudMNDemocrat]

35. There's more humanity in the pig's eye, than the eyes of the PIG.

Nuff said.

12. K&R This brings me joy! Punch the misogynistic bully back.

13. Hilarious

14. why did he use the word "piggy?'"

I understand the lyrics and all that, but surely trump wasn't referring to that. Was he trying to say she was asking for too much time, elbowing out the other reporters?

I found this:

Notably, this is not the first time a woman has been called 'piggy' under Trump. Previously, a Trump administration official had called Miss Universe pageant 1996 winner, Alicia Machado, "Miss Piggy" and asked her to lose weight.

I saw the clip at the link. It was patronizing and just vile.

[meadowlander]

19. I imagine that's his default nickname for any woman over a size 2.

[NJCher]

28. Good explanation

17. There's so much that they can use. It's so easy...

[ancianita]

20. Newsom is The One. He can mock circles around the pig in chief & his sty of Millers/Bannons/Bondis.

[popsdenver]

21. We should just start calling him Napoleon....

(Wasn't that the leader of the tyrant pig in ANIMAL FARM????????)

His first term occupation of the White House used that book as a guide......seriously.....re-read it

[dupagelib]

22. Pretty mean to pigs, after all.

tRUMP goes hog wild. Was that a stye in his eye?

[Skittles]

30. yes

"I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals." - Churchill

certainly doesn't sound anything like Trump

[barbtries]

23. those are hilarious.

someone tell Newsom's media team to put it on BlueSky!

[NEOBuckeye]

24. First one is the most realistic image of Trump ever made. n/t

[Emrys]

25. Probably happening all over social media, but MAGAites have been desperately swarming any posts

on Twitter showing the video of the boorish clod, claiming that Trump didn't say "piggy", he said "PEGGY", because a Peggy Collins works for Bloomberg.

Unfortunately for them, the journalist who had the audacity to ask Trump a pertinent question that even many MAGAites would like answered was in fact Catherine Lucey of Bloomberg.

Not only that, but the White House press office has now doubled down and defended Trump calling her "piggy":

MS NOW’s senior White House correspondent Vaughn Hillyard reported that the White House released a statement on the exchange as the video went viral on social media.

“This reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional way towards her colleagues on the plane. If you’re going to give it, you have to be able to take,” said the White House.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/white-house-defends-trump-calling-181240747.html

I look forward to all journalists from now on calling Trump any number of imaginative and insulting, if accurate, names, because "If you’re going to give it, you have to be able to take," right?

26. The last set of pics

On the left he looks bloated and dead.

I adore his PR staff!!

33. Pigs On The Wing (Part 1)

If you didn't care what happened to me
And I didn't care for you
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing

[2naSalit]

34. Can't see xitter posts.
