Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[neil999]

By election theory, the race was over as soon as Florida was taken and the scale of the eventual victory can be regarded as considerable. The popular vote means naff all and we have known this since Gore

it means naff all in the elction, but it does when you are talking about peoples opinions and a movement...

Generally speaking though, they aren't. Trump destroyed Hillary in the election, and the people who are asking themselves "how?" are the same people who have insulated themselves in their safe little opinion bubble for the last few years. Tory landslide, Brexit and Trump didn't happen in a vacuum, people voted for these things and were probably so fed up with being labelled racists and bigots without being listened to, that they didn't tell anyone else. Instead of marginalizing different opinions, we should be engaging them, but we are failing to do that on an unbelievable scale.

I hear he is bussing the unemployed workers in Michigan, the ones stupid enough to believe he was bringing their jobs back, down to the border to train as bricklayers

I believe Canada are interested in the wall option now, nearer option for our friends in Michigan

 

[squonk]

should this not be called Potuse ?

which is what many people will be resorting to to get over the result

The harsh reality is it doesn't matter. The Democrats thought their uninspiring, tainted candidate would win comfortably, as did anyone who voted for her, and the coverage of the election only confirmed that. Besides, Donald Trump still ran Hillary close in the popular vote, more than enough to say that people should have seen it coming

 

[abelard]

i think he means "16," to be fair...

within the oversight is the reason why things get worse, not better

i think the worrying thing is the polarised opinions of literally 50% of the population

Actually, the one time the media hurt their candidate. I spent hours watching. CBS, NBC & ABC as they were agog in total disbelief. There smug grins at first led to utmost contempt. I'm not sure how Trump will do but Mike Pence is the unsung hero and should be the catalyst in bringing the country together. It's amazing how this is all playing out mostly due to immigration and not being able to have a say. Obama and Hillary just didn't get it.

 

[ToffeeDan]

FYT for Office. Yes, FY Trump, FY.

I... would not be so sure about this

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

"Like pretty much every financial institution that existed during the housing bubble, Deutsche Bank has been accused of fraudulent activities. The allegation drawing the Justice Department’s attention currently concerns the selling of mortgage-backed securities to investors without informing them of the poor qualities of the underlying loans. Numerous banks have paid fines over the same conduct, though virtually no individual executives have gone to jail for it."

Donald Trump’s election has likely given a massive lifeline to Deutsche Bank, the German financial firm that has been rocked recently by rumors that they would have to pay a $14 billion fine to the Justice Department over crisis-related mortgage abuses.

That money is unlikely to ever be imposed, now that one of Deutsche Bank’s biggest borrowers – Trump – will soon be sitting in the White House.

That conflict of interest is one of the innumerable ones facing Trump as he leaves his life of grifting behind and becomes the nation’s chief executive. While the Justice Department is nominally independent of the White House, I had to stop writing this sentence because of constant laughing. Trump could easily move to protect his personal investments by aiding his business partner Deutsche Bank.

Investors have taken notice. Deutsche Bank stock jumped over 5 percent as the market opened Thursday, after rising more modestly on Wednesday."

Has he got round to 'phoning that May woman yet?

Let’s be very, very clear: This election ultimately wasn’t about defeating the “establishment.” It was about defeating the progressive establishment. The Republican establishment — the hated “GOPe” — ends this year with more power than it’s enjoyed in a century, and perhaps since Reconstruction. Mitch McConnell is more powerful. Paul Ryan is more powerful. The Republican party will control the White House, Congress, judicial nominations, and the vast majority of the states. The Republican party runs the United States. The GOP presidential landslides of 1972, 1980, 1984, and 1988 were inconsequential by comparison, resulting in divided government and with Democrats far more ascendant at the state level. By contrast, there is now a Republican governor of Vermont. And if you think that Trump carried down-ballot Republicans to victory, think again. He undoubtedly helped secure victories in states such as Indiana, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, but in Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, and Wisconsin, the Republican Senate victor won more votes than Trump. In close losses like Nevada and (perhaps) New Hampshire, the GOP Senate candidate also out-polled Trump. Tea-party Republicans won. Establishment center-right Republicans won. And they won not just because Republican voters turned out — GOP turnout wasn’t particularly heavy, and Trump is likely to win roughly the same number of votes that Romney did — but because Democrats stayed home by the millions.

BTW, if you think NR backed Trump, you haven't been reading the National Review. The nation did just stand astride history and say "STOP!", though.

Is that the same Raheem Kaseem who couldn't even follow up on his bid for the leadership of UKIP, posted a series of obscene misogynist tweets, and would like ex BNP members to be allowed to join UKIP ? Excuse me if I pass by on the other side.

He didn't make the video so I think you're allowed to watch it.
