'Many people approved of my speech. Many, many people. They liked me so much they were banging on their little desks!'

I've watched a few minutes on a few Sunday evenings ( CSPAN runs about an hour of "Question Time" then ), and I can appreciate the amusement.

Even if the entire chamber started shouting, it would be a waste of time. Rump has no concept of shame, and would most likely try to depict the uproar as some kinda approval ( i.e. he'd just lie about it ).

Ah,, but there's another tradition: if the question continues to be evaded, Some Honourable Members will start yelling 'SHAME! SHAME!' at him. (Well, that's the official word. It's not always so polite) Better men than Two Scoops have been driven from the chamber by that.Srsly, Parliament can be FUN!

Sure, but Rump will just respond with louder lies, evasions and non sequiturs. Since it's a question "period", they'll run out of time eventually.

Like most things in the Balkans, it's a blood sport. They can't play shuffleboard without somebody getting killed.

It's true. He's the most popular target of protest since Maggie!

One of the fun traditions of Question Period is that, if the speaker doesn't answer the question, the Honourable Members have the right to demand an answer. LOUDLY.

Donnie uses that song at his rallies. Is he trolling his base with that?

If you will be in England today, it will be advisable to allow the citizenry to assume you are Canadian to avoid saliva-based seasonings in your food at restaurants.

Of course, that might improve the flavor of English food.

There will come a time in the future when every American who was alive now will make that statement.

Print gun, gun blows up when you try to fire it, you're dead or disfigured.
