Kim Darroch, a British diplomat who described President Donald Trump’s administration as “inept” and “dysfunctional,” was named a lord on Tuesday.
Nice of May to issue Toadglans a very British “FO&D.” Probably the only decent thing she accomplished as PM.
Trump, of course, retains his own title: Lord of the Lies.
“Lord Derp of Brachydactyl-on-Rape.”
Vulgar, inchoate tweet arriving in 3…2…1…
Yet another thing to admire about the British.
I’m not particularly knowledgeable about the British peerage system, but this appears to be a middle finger -classily delivered, of course -by the Queen and former PM May, both of whom have suffered their fair share of indignities from Trump.
But if that’s the standard, I suppose we are all Lords now.
The man should’ve been knighted by the Queen.
Oh shit…my dog just got into drinking my coffee off the table again when I turned my head…gotta go. Damnittohell.
Well Donnie…he’s ‘smart’ enough to get himself a lordship…something you would LOVE to have but never will.
Trump: “That pompous, stupid guy might be a lord, but I am the lord aka the chosen one.”
But, this was some seriously nice trolling. Thanks, Brits.
A most Queenly and subtle insult.
My min-pin loves coffee too and will drink the coffee dregs out of the cup if I accidentally leave it. And he really loves steamed milk. A “Java-Hound”!
If she really wants to make 45* angry,she needs to give Lord Darroch a ride about London in that gold and glass coach.
And Kim Darroch can’t even control the weather!
I drink plain ice tea, no sugar. Our little girl cat, a year and half in, suddenly decided it is the to die for craving. Now I have to play hide and seek with the glass, make sure I put it in the fridge when I leave my seat and so on. Just poof, suddenly she is addicted.
He had already been knighted back in '97 if I’m reading his wiki bio correctly. If I understand this right this move gives him a non-partisan seat in the House of Lords on top of that.
Edit: Looking at other reporting, what this does is give him a life peerage, which gives him the title Lord and a seat in the House of Lords for life. The reference to it being a crossbench Peerage simply means he is unaffiliated with a political party.
Lord of the Dumb Fucks.
Trump is going to say that Boris just offered him to make him Lord, but didn’t took the offer… maybe after he leaves office
I can just hear a WH intern being ordered to print the picture of Darroch off of the intertubes so that Trump has draw on Darroch’s face in Sharpie.
Seeing Aged Orange I seriously doubt that he could fit into the carriage.
