Jenny Pryde 24,373 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 9 days to go. I have no idea about the veracity of the allegations made against the President Elect with regards to his business dealings or his relationship with Vlad the Imputin. What is going on?

He has taken this golden opportunity to shower certain people with invective and has got into a pissing match with the media. He's now off to get bladdered. The above may not be true, I'm just taking the piss. Edited January 11, 2017 by james_christ 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anything but Hilary Clinton. But now he's on TV all the time and we're getting to know him................holy shit, is he for real? It's funny that after taking the piss out of us for the Brexit vote, America has got what it deserves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wesifume 9,467 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 What's happening. Democracy across the world and the establishment not liking the way the fucked off people have voted. Russia hacking America and affecting the vote, complete bullshit. . Show the proof or fuck off. If it was true they would have known about it from the start and shut it down. Brexit, Trump, Greek voters, Portuguese voters etc etc etc it's all unraveling because people have had enough. The 35 pages of allegations look like something someone has dreamed up, same crap repeated and repeated but highlighted to make it seem important. Yawn, just like the brexiteers Trump ran a better campaign and appealed to the ming mongs and Pissed off alike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TKDMitch 5,761 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Putin is laughing his cock off. He has played the West over recent years and done very well. Now he's in the enviable position that everything works to his advantage. Trump in league with Russia? America destabilised. Trump being slandered by the actual intelligence agencies of the US to undermine him? America destabilised. Unfortunately, the more Trump lashes out at the institutions of his own country, the more he fuels conspiracy theories, division, and weakens his own nation.

Basil 13,915 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Trump doesn't want to be president but he's very interested in making money out of it whilst he has it, you just wait he'll get impeached in pretty short order and get oodles of lira/roubles in his back sky as golden handshake from the rest of the Republican party/the interested parties that have puppeteered him to this position. I dunno how it all works but i'm guessing it'll be Trumps number 2 in for four years if that happens? They don't hold another election right away do they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

deltabadhand 2,180 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I understand how and why Trump was elected. The Democrats have been utterly tone-deaf towards what had been the backbone of their party: lower-middle class,blue collar,union laborers. Rather than understanding that life has got much worse for a great many of them,they decided to focus on issues of small consequence but grand exposure,gay marriage as an example,and alienated millions. These are actually the people who won the Midwest for Trump,they saw the Democrats as abandoning them and bought the "MAGA" line. Bernie Sanders captured them,Hillary ignored them. The Republican party has been in crisis since Bush. Its primary problem is that it is a shotgun wedding of groups that really don't like each other. The libertarian,small government wing hates the religious nuts and the old time stalwart group think the libertarian wing are pot smoking anarchists. This disarray,factionalism and lack of leadership meant Trump got to walk all over the libertarian Paul,religious nut Cruz and traditionalist Bush in the primary. Trump manages to tap into elements of all of these groups with his remarkable ability to steer many away from his faults and contradictions. Scary as it is,there are people who genuinely believe Trump is an actual godsend and that their prayers helped get him elected. There are also many firmly convinced that he is one of the greatest minds,operating on an entirely other level. There is also a faction who are just contrarians and want to see everything torn down and some utopia arise,the Ayn Rand fantasy bunch. A huge number simply voted against Hillary. In interest of full disclosure,this was my ballot. It's hard to get sufficient veiny detail with their crappy pens 21 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
