I was watching the Queen and the President toast at their state dinner tonight..and

[Peacetrain]

I have never been so thankful to be me, then looking at those bored faces.. what a heck of a life to have to live.. entertaining trolls and toadies from all over the world..

[CatMor]

1. I agree with you ...

that dinner is the last place I would want to be. Seems to be a bunch of people who dont like each other and can't wait to leave.

[Peacetrain]

5. I turned the news on and caught a few minutes of it..

Never in a million years would I want to be at something like that.. you know they are running for the exits as soon as they can get away from there..

[Mike Nelson]

2. The Trumps...

… seemed so gross among the royal trappings... in fact, they all looked so gross... spend the money helping immigrants; they are in crisis and have no homes…

[Peacetrain]

6. I hear you...

what a waste of skin and time..

[panader0]

3. State dinners? I don't even like driving to town.

[Peacetrain]

7. ROFL!!

that is the truth.. Dinner at 9 PM.. pass the pepto.. for one thing.. but having to sit with people you do not like.. and you know they cant stand Trump.. what a pain that is..and if you were 92.. yikes.. my Mom is 90 and she would have bounced a pot off his (Trumps) head rather than have to sit there and make small chit chat with him

[madinmaryland]

11. Heh. My mother-in-law is 94 and calls him blotus pleibus. She would probably call him that

to his face. After she swiped one of his two scoops of ice cream.

[Peacetrain]

13. Love your Mom!!

sounds like mine

[madinmaryland]

14. Yeah, but she can be a real PITA. It was funny when she watched "Woodchuck". Chuck Todd.

4. Actually, I'd bet many of the international guests are quite interesting people if you know

how to engage them in conversation. Not everyone--even those politically "important" is an absolute boor like Trump and his ilk.

[Peacetrain]

8. My guess is that many of those people did not want to be there

I can engage anyone in conversation.. but I do not have to.. and that was a have to scenario..

[hlthe2b]

9. Oh certainly... I'm not talking about an event with Trump & his monstrous entourage

[Peacetrain]

12. Gotcha

yep...interaction and conversation with others outside our normal everyday interactions , nationally or internationally is a very good thing.. ,

[smirkymonkey]

10. Does anyone have video?

For those of us who are at work. Thank you!

[TomSlick]

15. You reminded me of a children's song I remember from Captain Kangaroo. Yes, I'm that old.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace
Christopher Robin went down with Alice
They've great big parties inside the grounds
"I wouldn't be King for a hundred pounds" -says Alice

16. Pretty darned good!!

When you are a child ... especially for girls.. you "think" you would want to be a princess.. I do not care how much money they have.. it seems like a miserable life to me.. to have to sit and entertain people .. have to.. not want to..but have to..glad I am me..
