Turkmenistan’s president, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, is no stranger to flamboyant acts – just last year the authoritarian leader dispelled rumours of his death by performing a serious of doughnuts next to a burning crater, seriously:

His latest publicity stunt is a little less death-defying, but equally as unconventional: erecting a massive gold statue of his favourite dog breed.

Before ‘Cummings Vs Symonds and Stratton‘ had even had a chance to go up on a pay-per-view channel, Cain stepped down, leaving the open goal of ‘CAIN NOT ABLE’ headlines up for grabs.
Lee Cain is like when they need to introduce a character in comic books but can't be bothered to actually write them so they just say he was there all along and was really important even though you never heard of him. also he has a name that reminds you of a comic book baddie — julia blunck (@juliablunck1) November 12, 2020
Is it real? Was it a dead cat chucked onto a table to distract from terrible coronavirus death stats?

As Donald Trump continues to refuse to concede the election which he lost to Joe Biden, his daughter Ivanka Trump went on Twitter to celebrate projections that he would win Alaska (and the three electoral college votes that come with it).
Ivanka Trump retweeted the Associated Press, which made the call, and you can probably see what’s coming.

Check out how apt this is.

It works even better when he retweets himself – because of course he retweets himself.

Bravo, @BrianKarem!
And it’s fair to say people loved it, they really loved it.
I love how @BrianKarem asked him "when will you admit you lost the election" and then he added a hard "SIR" to the end, because we all know how much trump likes to be called SIR. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/PrCLXHz1GI — BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮ (@mmpadellan) November 13, 2020

Omg! Trump just slipped up during the press conference and said “ the next administration” and then caught himself and said “whoever that may be”. He knows he lost! He just basically admitted it! #trump #TrumpPressConference — 🌈Blue Dot in a Sea of Red🏳🌈 (@solomom1171) November 13, 2020

In case you’re not familiar with it, Parler is like a no-holds-barred right-wing Twitter.
It’s a natural social media home for people who have been called out on other platforms for being utter d*cks – those who cry about being “cancelled” but call for a ban on anyone who criticises them.
Katie Hopkins has a Parler account – need we say more?
Comedians Larry and Paul have made a very honest and absolutely hilarious advert for the platform and you need to watch right to the end. It’s mildly NSFW.
