I have learned by pointed experience ... it is not wise to make derogatory statements about those in authority - even if under the guise of humour.
It is a complete wonder to me that the wrath of various members have not already been brought to bear.

Are you fair dinkum?....""not wise to make derogatory statements about those in Authority""...its in the Joking Section so should I assume its your attempt at lame humour?..
I'm a Prospector mate..it's in my DNA to question dubious decisions by authority....and they don't come much more dubious than Donald Trump at the moment as the No1 World Leader...supposedly......I have paid up Prospecting Association Memberships and holder of the various States Registered Miners Rights...here's a bit of Prospectors History against authority..
On 29th November 1854 Australian Diggers were fed up with Govenments' corruption and stand over tactics...and were quite in your words derogatory about it..
They swore allegience to the 'Southern Cross' that day and 22 then lost their lives fighting against the oppression and blatant corruption..
Their oath: 'We swear by the Southern Cross to stand truly by each other and fight to defend our Rights and Liberties'..
Our Prospecting Associations including me, still stand 100% by that oath to this day...
..."and it is a complete wonder to you that the wrath of various members has not already been brought to bear"......
Are you encouraging 'other members' to do your spade work against me, because you lack the ticker.?....and I presume you are the one who had this thread removed, on complaint to Cindy, to this section...anonymously of course..no doubt you will make another complaint to Cindy..Cindy advised me she had to move it..I previously left this Forum for some 12 months partly because of your sniping at me...give it a rest and lets all get on with our lives...'this is the Joking Section" why get serious...?
So to put it in different parlance just for you,...' if the Emperor's not wearing any daks then I believe it is fair to point it out..he's nackered'....even if you consider it derogatory....
Now what is your point again..if you actually had one...?..have a great day..cheers..Hoo Roo

Obviously the sarcasm that was dripping from my post has been completely missed.
It was NOT directed at you but to those on this forum who, on at least four or five occasions. have taken umbrage whenever a "Trump giggle" has been posted.
Apparently, they consider that Mr Trump is a duly elected official, and as THE figure of authority, should not be pilloried.
One of mine that only vaguely alluded to the actions of said El Presidento actually got closed because of their wrathful, pointed comments.
I was passing observation at THEM .... rather than yourself - hence my opening comment "I have learned by pointed experience............"

Hi all, Just to clarify. I moved this post to the 'just joking' section because I felt that it is a joke and belonged in this section. No one complained or requested that this be moved.

I see Melania Trump just got Donald a parrot for Xmas....
I saw in the N.Y. Times that during a lull between speeches at the recent Presidential Swearing-In Ceremony,
Melania leaned over to chat with recently appointed Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.
"You know , I bought Donald a parrot for Christmas....and that bird is soooo smart,
Donald has already taught him to pronounce over two hundred words!"....
"Wow, now that is pretty impressive," said Tillerson,..."but you do realize that he just speaks the words...
he doesn't actually really understand what they all mean."
"Ohhh, I know," Melania replied, ..."and neither does the parrot!".....
