    Witch? No. Everyone left of centre is a liberal. Is she left of centre? Not sure but it seems like it to me.

    Maybe in the US.

    Liberals in Europe are far from left of center.

    My point was presidents are not always in a policy meeting or writing legislation. They can work hard and still do other stuff. Like golf.
    It was petty point scoring and you know it. It's going to be a really petulant 8 years.

    Actually I edited to say that I was a bit mean. I did it about a minute before you posted this so you probably didn't see it as you were probably writing this.

    most people who are centre-right in europe would be considered left wing in the US.

    No that's not what happened. A tornado hit and someone used the event as an opportunity to attack trump. The ones who don't care about the people are the ones politicising the tragedy.

    And a man who sends a 3 second tweet isn't doing any work says the guy with 15 thousand posts on boards.

    A tornado hit and Trump's sat on his arse doing is of more interest to him.

    It's vague. I've no idea if she's a liberal. I know I don't like her so that's one of the signs.

    As Irish and Europeans, can we get back to using the term 'liberal' in it's correct form?
    Liberalism and liberals we're around while the United States in it's current mutated version was still sh*tting it's nappy (notice I said nappy, not diaper).
    Liberal does not mean left-wing or left of centre. The closet thing in recent years to a liberal party in this country would have been the PDs.
    We're Irish, not Americans, we don't have to use their bastardisation of the word.

    You're using an example of sending a tweet to prove the man was doing nothing at all. You know that's not true. Just look at all the stuff he's done in the last few days and everyone giving out about those things. It was a poor excuse to have a go at trump and that's obvious.

    F*ck me that's staggering.

    I met a woman in the US once about ten years ago who didn't like Bush and she said that she thought America was more communist now than the communists.
    I thought she had no idea what she was talking about, but you have just set the new standard for not having a clue.

    You're not sure but you're calling her a liberal witch?

    You never even told us what she was talking about, you just posted something mean about her.
    This isn't your burn book, it's supposed to be a conversation.




    Delicious irony.

    Wtf pal? I never called her a liberal witch. Go back and check who you're quoting.

    Yes and the greatest source of that will be the POTUS. A man widely and deservedly know for his pettiness.

    Can any of the trumpflakes explain why people would fraudulently vote for a candidate who was going to win the state? Do you need to wait for the higher ups to provide the excuse or can you bull**** without the script? Don't worry, my expectations of you can't get any lower after the perspective incident.

    Ok maybe it wasn't to clear but I was kidding there. For the record I do not dislike all liberals or like all conservatives.

    No, I'm using it as an example that his spat with CNN means more to him than the lives of those people. You're saying a tweet takes only three seconds to send, would it have killed him to donate 3 seconds of his time to the victims?

    Fair enough, I was in the middle of wrongly accusing you of calling her a witch at the time so I couldn't decipher the comedy.

    :rolleyes:

    I don't like Marine Le Pen so she must be one of those liberals…

    No problem. I thought it was just a mistake.

    As of right now, we don't know which two states he's talking about.? I guess you're assuming California will be one and that would be a safe bet.

    And you should calm down a bit. The "Trumpflakes" had to sit through Stein'a recounts and a load of baseless allegations regarding Russia. The former resulting in more votes for Trump? and the latter still without any proof.

    Why shouldn't Trump get to check for voter fraud and then hopefully implement voter ID laws?

    It was one of Ricero's daily pronouncements about the Brave and Fearless Don's continuing struggle against the salty tears of liberals.

    Anyone see the Ashley Judd speech at the protest march? I never thought it was possible to die from embarrassment but if I was in that crowd it very well could have happened. What a complete lunatic. She brought up gas chambers, periods, tampax, Nazis etc. And people wonder why no one takes modern feminism seriously. Good grief.

    Thank God you cleared that up and set the record straight. I wouldn't have slept a wink tonight.

    Plenty in NY, Florida and California etc where loopholes mean that non-citizens/illegals can register to vote when they apply for a drivers license. Only US citizens are eligible to vote in US presidential elections. Millions of illegals who have no right to vote voted, mostly for Clinton.

    I can't speak for NY or Florida, but it would appear that this is not the case for California.

    As part of the license application process, it seems that the applicant's SSN is sent from DMV to the Dept of State which then verifies citizenship before enrollment. Illegals can get a driver's license, but they use a different form. I find it unlikely, if this process is followed, that many illegal immigrants are getting voting rights.

    Of interest, even those who are on the side of apparent rationality and are objecting to the millions of illegal voter statement are also expressing an opinion that it's not a bad idea to open the investigation anyway and properly re-visit the issue of voter rolls. It is well accepted that counties are very reluctant to purge rolls, which is why we have a fair few dead voters and lots of folks registered in multiple locations: There is no process for cross-checking. If I register in Arizona, Arizona doesn't tell California to remove me. If someone dies, the coroner or hospital doesn't tell the Dept of State. It's not necessarily nefariousness, and most folks who are double-registered don't double-vote, but it's still an issue which should be fixed.

    There have already been studies of voting fraud in the United States and they have consistently found it to be minuscule to the point of irrelevance. Trump should at least wait for evidence before repeatedly lying and claiming as fact that three to five million fraudulent votes were cast but then his pathetic ego can't handle the fact that he lost the popular vote by a significant number.

    The president of true the vote is Catherine Engelbrecht, she was targeted heavily by the IRS and particularity Elijah Cummings for trying to expose voter fraud.

    IMO it's very unlikely there was millions of illegal votes, but who knows?

    Perhaps we can consult the various studies that have already demonstrated that it is minuscule.

    Again it is beyond irresponsible for the POTUS to repeat, as fact, wild unsubstantiated claims.

    The NY Times did some research. According to their research there is no fraud.

    If what's said in the tweet is true, that the states are only beginning to release 2016 data, how can we know that?

    I'm willing to give her a chance and see what she produces, she seems intelligence and has been unfairly attacked by certain individuals.

    I wouldn't say millions of illegal votes but I'd be surprised if you didn't a decent number.
