    #notmypresident trending in the states.

    Attempts at unification have huge potential for an absolute shít-show.

    Why come on and deliberately act like a cnut? I come on wanting to discuss this and you continue to be an irritation. You have added literally nothing to these discussions.

    Says the lad babbling on about Trump being the new Hitler. I'm merely celebrating the ascension of a great man.

    But it doesn't though. It's always post-election bluster from the losers, the very same way Labour-voters threatened civil war and revolution and riots after the Tories won in the UK. Nothing ever came of it, because while you might not like the people who won, actually trying to subvert the democratic process won't sit well with the majority of people.

    Listening to his speech he sounds way different to how he did in the campaign and his speech was very impressive and optimistic. It must have been hard having to deal with a vulture for a competitor who's entire campaign was about trying to destroy yours. Eat sh*t Hillary you're done.

    There's nothing "blind" about believing it, go get a BA in Economics, hell even just do a weekend workshop in macroeconomics and you'll understand why it won't happen. The very same reason people said Britain would collapse after Brexit, but their economy turned out to be the fastest growing in the G7.

    It's people trying to use economics to gain political sway, and something you shouldn't be heed in.

    And your staunch defence of the never going to happen mantra does not give me any reassurance, quite the opposite in fact.
    We still await the impact of Brexit, the impact of Trump is already seen as positive for America, with the dollar rising in value, so we shall see.......

    Welcome to AH. Try politics forum for serious discussion. AH houses the finest trolls, keyboard warriors, trolls, SJW's, trolls, people looking for non serious topics and some people looking to discuss serious topics in a casual manner. O and there's a couple of trolls.

    So all that stuff about moving to Canada and so forth was a sort of pre-emptive tantrum? Well, at least DT is rather less likely to draw Russian nukes on ye, unlike Mrs. C. :pac:

    Do you have oatmeal for brains? I never talked about moving to Canada or any such nonsense. The other poster made it up out of thin air.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    I've lots of abstainees on my Facebook. People didn't know what to think of Trump and couldn't stomach Clinton either.

    People still jumped on the bandwagon about the sterling price dropping in the aftermath of the vote, as though it confirmed their suspicions, but then it went back to normal. The volatility was just a continuing of pre-vote actions, it had been falling before than the vote was announced (thanks QE).

    I can assure you, Britain won't face any dramatic implosion of their economy by 2019.

    you have noticed the current fall in sterling was not reversed, have you read the warnings over the lack of passporting etc

    we shall see, the results of brexit will take 4-5 years to reveal itself and possible 1-2 general elections later in the UK

    we have yet to see the issues in Scotland or NI being resolved vis a ve Brexit

    The ship is pointed into unknown waters, at the end is either a new land , or a big storm !!!

    in the UK , in effect massive QE by the BoE has insulated the UK temporarily m Trump will engage in massive QE in the states, and the deficit will be huge .

    ( which I agree with actually at present )

    Steady on chief - you're going off like a Claymore mine. I refer merely to the considerable talk about moving out of the US should DT win. Canada apparently is popular this weather. :pac:

    Well, "the Donald" (you can remove your tongue from his hole now) won't be throwing me out of my own country and I won't be moving. And no, I'm not "hear" (it's spelled here, Einstein). Is that clear enough for you? Or will you be minding your own business from now on?

    Now now missy. Don't be getting excited, you will spoil yourself.

    How about you answer the question and not dodge it?

    You said that you will not leave your country (America?) and in the same line, you then said that you do not want to live in a country headed by people like Trump. - Contradiction?


    Your statement was so self righteous and hilarious that your confusion as to what the hell you were saying was contagious, hence the typo error. Honest mistake, what was your excuse. ?

    Mind my own business? Says the woman living in the US, on an Irish Discussion forum? :D

    No, I will not be "minding my own business". Since 'Merica's actions affect the rest of the world, including Ireland, we will be watching with interest what goes on over there. (Gee, I hope I got that right, or is it "their"?)

    Emotional, aren't you?. You come on here , (or is it hear?) and run your mouth off, your arguments better be bullet proof.

    Pity there's no weekend courses in manners.......

    It's like me going to a scientist and saying "well you blindly believe in evolution but we can't know so I'm going to be sceptical". A scientist is well within their rights to not be nice to me.

    I'm explaining to you why Trump isn't going to be a threat to Ireland's ability to attract FDI - he's brought Ireland up in the media before solely because it was bouncing about the media at the time. His goal (attracting MNC cash sitting in reserves) does not line up with our objective (attracting them and letting them send their profits back).

    Can't wait for the next Canadian president to be elected on the promise to build a wall to stop Americans coming in and eating everything :D

    Sorry didn't mean to go off on you specifically. But the Trump ass licking that goes on around here is mind boggling.

    That will definitely be a surprise! Canada doesn't even have a President :D

    That's quite alright. I understand your disappointment. I was very surprised this morning to see that Mr. T. had won, but I have long suspected that he's not anything like as big an idiot as he's been pretending to be.

    Yes, I'm angry that Trump was elected. I do not want to live in a country headed by Trump but I do want to live in the US. I even want to live in a conservative state. There are several other more worthy candidates than Trump and yet Trump was elected. I find the ignorance and sexism of American voters hard to stomach.

    Is that a concern for you?

    From Brexit to US presidential elections, why is it always the left that seem to think democracy only works when it agrees with them.
    Doubtless they've retreated to their gender neutral, politically correct safe spaces to huddle in groupthink self pity.


    I suspect dismantling those safe spaces will do more for national unity then all the black lives matters protests in the world, because unity and equality are not, and never were, the goal of the left. With their intersectional politics and wittering about 'privilage', what the left are actually demanding is a new hierarchy, with a bunch of ideologues at the top poisoning the well of unity to promote intersectional interests.

    Personally I think Trump is the wrong man for the job if dismantling all this nonsense, but people have had enough of the current madness. That'll be president Milo Yiannopoulos in 2020!

    You're absolutely right. It's just easier to type than "Prime Minister" when driving :o

    Imagine. Trump actually living in the White House. The place may as well be burned down

    He'll be wiping his knob on the curtains and everything

    nah they still have slick Willy's c*m stains on the upholstery of the o̶r̶a̶l̶ Oval Office.

    dont know how you can still claim sexism when early reports suggest trump had nearly 50% of the female vote?

    I think your tarring the Americans with the sexist/racist/hatist brush. The people probably just wanted to shake up the system and this happened to be the only viable way to do it. They(and we) might regret it but maybe its worth the gamble?

    First Brexit, now Trump. Another victory for the politics of hate. It's a sad, misguided world we're living in.

    Welcome back to the 1930s.
